Full show transcript:
There is a TikTok trend going around where people have music on in the background, like a popular song, and then they recreate their own music video. Have you seen these?
I don't know if I have. They're just doing whatever they want as a music video. Are they actually doing like a story like a legit music video? No. They're just dancing to the music. Yeah, but they're calling that a video.
Yeah. And they're doing like different cuts away and different like scenes. Okay. You haven't seen these? No. Oh.
Our algorithms are not always.
No, but I'm gonna show you one. Okay. Because I want to do it. Oh, you do. Yes.
We made a music video once, and it was a lot of me editing. So maybe you want to take over the editing on this one.
It's it's easier now. Because if you do it on your phone, you can just put it in Canva.
Yeah, I know. I had to film it on a camcorder and then dub that into a digital file on a computer and then use a bootleg video editing software to make a music video. It took me an entire day to make a three minute music video to the safety dance. And then I burned it onto DVD. Why did we do that? Because we were bored and we were 20. And we thought it'd be funny, and it was.
It was funny. We had a good time making it. Yeah.
It was just you and me and one of our friends, and we made the safety dance music video.
Yeah, we had some sick dance movies. I don't know about all that.
Sweet, sweet dance movies. do some very cool editing effects.
Yes, you did. Do you have that somewhere?
Yeah, I do. Somewhere.
Don't put a destroy it. No way. We ever run for public office. That's gonna come.
It's just you doing a weird dance to the safety dance. I do like a literal bucket dance. Like I I pretend my feet are in buckets and I'm lifting them up. That's part of the video. It's very cool.
It is very cool. That was the coolest we've ever been.
So you want to reenact uh that's a but this is different.
What's what's different? I just told you it's cooler.
No, it sounds exactly the same.
No, the editing is gonna be easier. It's gonna be awesome. I'm gonna do it one of these days.
One of these days. Good intentions. Add that to the list.
I did. It's already on the list.
Later on in the show, you're gonna hear all about the list of things we never follow through on. I bet music video is on this list for a long time.
No, I'm gonna make it happen. Just you wait. Just you wait and see. Okay. We just have to pick the right song. What song could it be?
Well, while you're pondering that, here's today's show.
Do you have anybody in your day-to-day passing that you don't necessarily know, but you see them pretty much every day? Uh I'm not talking about co-workers.
I'm talking about like people I don't know that I see regularly. Yeah.
Is that the idea? On the way to work this morning, or every morning. Yeah. There is a runner. Uh-huh. And I see her running every day. When I don't see her, I go, hmm. Hope everything's okay.
Or are you running late? Or that? Or earlier. The schedule may change, right? But I always just go. I didn't see you this morning. Yeah. Hope you're okay. That's interesting.
Yeah. And then on my way to my other job. Yeah. There's always a car, and we always end up in the same space at the same time. And I'm always like, I should just stop and say, hey, we're going.
Yeah, there is there is one guy. He's a motorcycle guy that I will pass regularly in the morning, and I feel like he has like a daily like medical appointment or something. Oh. And I because he's headed to a medical building. Okay. He doesn't work there. No, I don't know. He could.
But there have been times when I've passed by and the motorcycle's just right up front, but that doesn't mean necessarily anything. No. Doesn't.
So that's the one guy, but I don't know if he's if he works there. That's a good question. That would also be why someone would do something every day.
I was thinking it was like maybe a dialysis thing or something. But an employee would also go there. That's a good observation. I hadn't thought that maybe you work there.
I just think it's interesting sometimes. We pass all these people, sometimes it's the same people. I often think it's weird that I don't encompass more of the same people. Does that make sense? Encounter?
What did I say? Encompass. I meant encounter. I was just trying to understand. Like I leave for work at the same time every day. Sure. So how come I'm not seeing more of the same people who are also going to the same place every day? Good question.
Because we are people of people are very built on patterns and routines and uh paths of least resistance. So that would make a lot of sense. You would see the same people. Interesting. I know. Yeah. Uh other than that one guy. Just the one guy. Yeah, I'm trying to think if there's anybody else. There's so many people.
There used to be another guy who would run in the morning, and I haven't seen him in a really long time. Yeah. He stopped. Maybe he moved. Or he just stopped his running routine. Yeah. Maybe it was required for physical fitness or something or physical therapy. And he was like, no, I'm done.
Or maybe it was training for something. It's possible. Now it's over. There is a vehicle that you sometimes end up behind that you try to race so that you don't uh end up behind that vehicle when you're on your way home every day. Yeah. Yes, I do. Because they drive so slow. They drive an Ultima. Oh.
And so whenever I get behind them, I go, Ultima with my fist in the air.
Ah, no, I am behind you.
Because it is a very slow driving vehicle. Yeah. And when I get behind it, I go, no. And that could happen every day. It could.
I'm saying you encounter that one a lot. Yes, I do. Yeah.
If I leave earlier, like if I lock up my other place of employment earlier, I don't get behind it. But it's when I'm later.
A little bit late, huh?
And I never notice until I get to the one street where I can't pass. And then I go.
I'm behind you again.
Awesome.
Well. Sorry about your bad luck. Maybe drive quicker.
When I had a different schedule, there was a car that I used to get behind in the license plate had like a glittery cover. Like a little frame thing. And if the sun hit it in a certain way, it would shoot uh like a reflection, not a reflection, but like
a it would reflect the light into your eyes, yeah.
Oh, I hated that van, that red van.
The red van with the glitter.
Glittery license plate. Why I ought to I'm blind.
That's why they got it on there. This is gonna distract people behind me. I know The whole point. Why did they want to distract people? Ah, so they can go away in away. Yeah, it's a getaway vehicle. Yeah. In a flash.
See, because of the reflection. Yeah. Did you mean to make that joke? No. I didn't think so, but you did. It was well done. Thanks. Well executed. Thank you, Josh.
It's gonna get real hot this weekend.
That's what they said. Have you looked at the forecast? Do you have that pulled up? I do not. Okay, I've got it pulled up here. But here's the here's the deal. We're in this uh like heat advisory heat bubble thing. Tomorrow, high of ninety-eight, Sunday, high of one oh three, Monday, one oh two, Tuesday, ninety-nine, Wednesday finally cooling down to ninety-six. So it is going to be an absolute scorcher this weekend.
Uh, there's a that means a lot of different things. The National Weather Service has issued an extreme heat watch, uh, which I believe is now officially turned into a heat advisory. That is correct. Yeah, so it is a heat advisory. Uh they were trying to watch what the patterns were gonna do, uh, but now they've confirmed, yeah, this this thing's gonna be an actual uh heat advisory.
So here's the deal. Dangerously hot conditions with temperatures uh hovering around and above a hundred portions of central, eastern, south central, and southeast Idaho. This thing stretches clear down into uh parts of Nevada and Utah as well. This is this is a big heat bubble.
Uh starting Saturday and running through now Monday. Uh heat-related illnesses are uh increased significantly during these extreme heat events. The precautionary preparedness actions are to drink plenty of fluids, stay in air conditioning uh when you can, stay out of the sleep.
Like water, yeah, and Gatorade, maybe electrolytes.
Yeah. Not get elect, yeah.
Not all fluids are the same.
That is very true. Drink lots of uh of good fluids, water and electrolytes. Stay in air conditioned rooms if you can, stay out of the sun, check up on your relatives and neighbors. Do not leave young children and pets in unattended vehicles. Uh car interiors will reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes.
It's very, very important. Uh if you have pets, don't leave them tied outside without water. If you have uh kids, same for them. Make sure everybody is hydrated. It's too hot. Uh it's it's pretty hardcore.
What I know. So I know that Pocatello, they put out a a press release yesterday saying that they have some cooling shelters to help residents beat the heat. So there are a couple of different places you could go. One of them is City Hall, and it's open Monday through Friday, 7 30 to 8, or Saturday and Sunday, they're open 10 to 8. They also will have bottled water there for people.
They'll have electric outlets for charging, comfortable place to beat the heat. Um, there's also the Marshall Public Library. Um that will be closed on Sunday, but Monday through Thursday, 10 to 9, Friday and Saturday, 10 to 6. And then there's the Pocatella Animal Services, where you can also bring your pets there.
Nice and cool off the pets.
That's so then I looked at Idaho Falls to see if Idaho Falls had some cooling areas. They also have their public library that's open and available for residents to go.
Okay. Um, the Idaho Falls Rescue Mission is a place to go. The Grand Teton Mall. You can cool down at the aquatic center. Um Rexburg, the Madison Library Dis District. So what we learned is that the Library.
is just a cool place to go. And it is anyway. Yeah, it's a cool place. There's cool things to do there, lots to read, ways to spend your time, and uh also stay cool. Yep.
You stick you're already cool. Once you get to the library, you're the coolest person you know. I'm at the library. How cool am I? The coolest learning stuff, reading things.
This this heat wave thing is really interesting because uh it's coming in from the southwest, and you can watch the intensity of it. I mean, it is it's gonna be hot over a good portion of Utah, Nevada, Arizona, obviously, but Idaho's kind of on the fringe of this thing. Wyoming is getting it, Montana's getting it, the Dakotas. This thing is uh just hammering down on Minnesota. It's a big, big, big heat wave.
So uh or heat bubble, whatever you want to call it. Let's just be uh let's be prepared and let's be cautious. And um, if you need help, obviously all the services are gonna be available, but uh take care of yourselves and your friends and your family and your kids and your pets and let's uh let's see y'all back here on Monday at 102. To cool down if you need it.
Yeah, and take yeah, take care of your pets and take care of your kids.
Also, I am gonna point out that it's supposed to be a little bit breezy both days as well, which is a recipe for wildfire. So let's be very, very careful if we're doing anything uh you know, out and about. Be very careful. Very, very careful. Drink lots of water. Yeah. And uh that's what we know about that. Check this out.
Scientist took 258 species of spiders and tested them to see which one was the fastest spider.
That sounds like something that uh our son did with his Hot Wheels cars, and they made a list.
So did he do a tournament bracket style? Is it a knockout bracket or do they have them all do it at once? Yeah, all at once. They lined them all up and then they said, go.
And was it fastest uh walking, fastest web, fastest what fastest walking. Fastest swinging down on a thing from the ceiling.
They didn't do that. It was just fastest walking. They're not making webs. Okay. Uh they thought it was gonna be the Moroccan flick flack spider.
The Moroccan flick flack?
Yeah, you never heard of it. The Moroccan flick flack. No. But it's not. It's the huntsman spider that is that is only native to Australia.
Which I'm grateful for, by the way. Huge. It really's a okay, go ahead. How fast do you think it went? Uh five. Five what? Miles per hour. Close. Eight. Eight miles per hour.
Eight miles per hour.
But here's how here's the thing. It's got a longer stride. So it's the it's huge.
Okay, but there's a video that I'm watching, and it's like running. They've got it running, but it looks like it's dragging its back feet a little bit. That's creepy. But it's front feet legs. Yeah. Are they called legs? Sure. The front legs are really fast and moving, but it's like almost dragging the back feet.
Well, let me tell you the the flick flack, the uh Moroccan flick flack spider does cartwheels.
The Moroccan flick flack sounds like uh skateboard. Yeah. It's a trick.
Doing the Moroccan flick flack.
Okay, what does it do?
It does it it does like a barrel rolls, like it it puts all of its legs out and then just kind of tumbles through the sand. That's crazy. Yeah, it it basically does flips to move. So it moves pretty quick because it's just doing flips.
Dude, do you know how much energy that would take?
A lot less of moving all those legs.
They're Moroccan flick flick. I'm watching you, buddy. You're kind of scary. Yeah.
How would you like that coming towards you?
Oh, and then it kind of does like a stand-up thing. Yeah. And then Did you see that?
Yeah, I watched the whole video of them. Oh. Yeah. And then uh, yeah, I don't I don't I don't like that.
I don't I'm not necessarily feel like the huntsman should be included because it's so large. Okay. Like it's its own thing. Like you've got to go to scale. Okay. You know, like if it's a one-to-one scale, if they're saying this is the big one. Okay. Right? Yeah. So if you were to take uh a normal-sized one-to-one scale car.
Okay. And race it against smaller and smaller and smaller cars. Of course the big one's gonna go faster. It's big. Okay. So you've got to do it to to its scale, I feel, in order to be fair. Okay.
Take that up with the scientists. I'm insane. Do you want me to give them a call and say you've got inaccurate information?
Well, I just feel like, you know, uh all things being equal, it probably isn't the fastest.
Okay, so they said that large spiders seem to run faster as long as they were not so large that their heavy abdomen burdens them. Correct.
Like a tarantula has a heavy, heavy body.
But fast running is associated with long legs.
Right, which it has the longest.
people, too. Absolutely. That's my problem. I'm short. I got shorty little legs.
Right. So that's why you should get a head start.
That's why I can't run fast.
Like if they were gonna put all those spiders in a head-to-head race, they would have the huntsman start last. And the littlest one would go first. Yeah. He's got a little legs. He's got little legs. Right. Let's make this a fair race.
Wait for me and all that. Yeah, I got little legs. They tested them in laboratory conditions, whatever that means. Yeah.
They didn't put him on a racetrack. That's what that means. They said, look how fast he goes. He goes from here to here. So quick.
I'm not necessarily afraid of spiders, but I think the bigger they get, the more afraid of them I am. Yeah. Because they can attack you. Like they can they can serious damage and all that. Oh, yeah. We had your cousin's wife got bit by a spider. Yeah. It is intense. It's huge. The wound? Yeah. Have you seen it? No, I don't need to. Oi.
I'm not big on looking at spider bite wounds.
I kind of think it's fascinating. No. I'm good.
Like I'm not into the pimple pop and stuff. I'm not into wounds.
I think she said it was a brown recluse spider. I don't know. Also, you remember that guy that was from Idaho that was like doing a bunch of research on the hobo spider and then he disappeared. I know. Why hasn't anybody found him or gotten any more information about that? It feels suspicious.
That guy's name, I was trying to remember his name. Uh Darwin Vest. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yep. I don't know what happened to that guy.
No one does, but somebody needs to find out. Yeah.
He mysteriously disappeared on June 3rd, 1999. Oh. It's been a while.
It's been a long time. Somebody needs to do some research. It is an unsolved case. That is interesting. Where'd he go? Suspicious. Okay. They say the average human speed is about four to six miles per hour. So this spider, if you're in a race with this huntsman spider. He goes eight. He's long gone. See a sucker. That's what he says. Yeah. He's like, bye. And then he does that.
It's more. like It's more like you can't run away from him. He will catch you because he's twice as fast. He will catch you. And you have little legs, so he's gonna get you quick.
No. Yeah.
And then you're gonna be all wrapped up in web, and I'm gonna be like, peace. Gotta go. I can't save you. I am not fighting a spider. Well. The thing is big as a TV.
I know, dude. He's huge. I know. I'll do my fastest to run fast, but I got little legs. And I'm a tripping hazard.
I know. You're gonna have to run quick.
We finally got to see Toy Story Five last night. Yeah.
When did that movie come out? It's been a couple weeks.
It's been a couple of weeks, but we finally were able to go. And I was a little trepidatious because the first I really, really love those that franchise. And even though I go, oh, they don't need another sequel. They've all been they've all been done so well. It's so cute. I loved it. I loved it last night. I had a great time. I had a really good time. I cried, I laughed. The jokes were on point. I thought the jokes were gonna be a little bit hokey, but it those movies are always written so well. It was very and you love the characters. Yep.
Uh there were a couple of new characters that were great. Yes. Um I was I was having a combat carl Combat Carl is a good one.
Played by Ghostbuster Ernie Hudson. Yeah, is that right? Yes.
That's cool. Um I know that uh Smarty Pants uh is Conan O'Brien.
Yeah, and pizza with glasses. Yeah. It was Bad Bunny. No kidding. Yeah, yeah. That's fun. I just looked it up. Pizza with glasses.
Uh that's pretty cool. Uh obviously Tom Hanks and Tim Allen are back, Joan Cusack is back, and and taking a pretty strong role. Uh Jesse kind of leads this one, which I think is is cool.
And you made note of that. Like, I'm glad Jesse got to be like the main. the main character, which was really cool. Uh Greta Lee is Lily Pad in there. Duke Kaboom showed up, which was kind of fun.
Yeah, I looked it up to see if it was voiced by Kenya Reeves again because he has very minimal speaking part. Right.
But he but he was there.
But he did. They bait him. Kaboom.
uh now Wallace Sean, he passed away. Is that right? Yeah, yeah. No, he didn't. Why am I having a Mandela effect that he did? But no, he is 82. Uh, but he was back. He's the voice of Rex. Uh Bo Peep was in there, Annie Potts. Um, and Ham, of course, still in there. Uh who else? Was there anybody new? New I'm just looking through the colour.
Well, there was like the camera, the snappy person.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course. That one was new. Yeah.
But then all of their returners, like Slinky was back. Yeah. It was cute. I immediately started crying.
Like right in the first scene.
I know. Like, no. Because they started playing the sad music. I know. And I went, you can't, you can't play sad music. And then there's a part in the middle where I really let loose. Did you? Crying.
Because I I saw it and I looked over at you. Is that when? Because I felt like it. This is an emotional moment. And I looked over at you. Is that when you were letting letting it loose?
I don't know. I don't think you I don't think so. I don't know. Okay. I tried to hide it. Because how embarrassing to cry. to cry at a Cry at a cartoon.
Yeah, it's not a cartoon. But you can cry in a cartoon if you want.
I kind of I want to have a marathon now. You do. You want to watch it? all five? I want to watch them all. It's been a long time since I've seen the first couple of ones.
The animation in the first one, not so solid.
I understand, but the story is still so good. The story is great. But the animation is suffering. Well, it was made in what? 199?
I don't know. Let's look it up.
Which is your favorite? Do you have a favorite?
I really liked two and three. I like two so much.
But the first one, you can't beat the first one.
It's just the animation that has.
I understand. 1995.
95. No kidding. Yeah. So they've been making these for 30 years.
Here's what I noticed. Like Joan Cusack who plays Jesse, her voice was a little bit slower. Okay. And deeper. Because Joan Cusack has gotten older.
Yeah.
Well, and I noticed that with Tom Hanks and Tim Allen, too. Yeah. All of the people are just a little bit older than they ever used to be.
Are they done now? Is that I mean, uh I didn't feel like they left any loose ends. Correct. I didn't feel like they said there's another sequel coming. Um are they gonna do a Toy Story Six? How many of these are we gonna make? I don't know. I don't know.
I feel like they should probably just be done.
They've been making these since we were 13, 14 years old. I know. That's insane.
14. I was 14 when I first went out.
And that's when this animation style was like brand new. That's why the first one's animation is so wonky, is because that was like brand new technology making a fully animated movie from Pixar. That was huge. So I get it. They didn't run a short. I just realized. Before the movie. Were they supposed to? Well, most animations come with a short animation before, especially from Disney.
I haven't seen a short in a long time from Disney.
Like uh like before Moana, the uh the lava one. Um they usually run an animated scene.
There was that short one where the dumpling, the mommy, the dumpling baby. Right.
Yeah, that's the scene that stands out. Because our friend went, holy moly. Yeah. Very loud in the theater when that happened. Uh anyway. It was cute.
Cussy Toy Story Five. Great movie.
Even if you don't have any kids, it's still adorable. Our kids are old. We still want to go.
Oh, it was fantastic. The whole family. And Beck was laughing and having a good time. Emory was crying as well, because she got your emotions. So that's good. It's a great movie. Go check it out.
There was a husky dog in Connecticut, and it stopped a black bear from charging the family's child.
That's a big uh big job for a dog.
So then I was thinking, would our dog step in and fight for us? Yes. Our 15-pound Jack Russell. You bet. She would put up a good fight, wouldn't she? Oh, yeah.
I asked Google. It said our Jack Russell would probably try and protect us by distracting the bear, but a bear is much larger and stronger. Yeah, of course. Putting your small dog in a fight with a bear is very dangerous. Well, yeah. I'm not gonna put the dog in a fight, but I am curious. It depends. Our dog would try to protect us as long as there wasn't like a light, like a laser pointer. Right.
If the bear has a laser pointer, we're cooked.
Or a ball.
Also, if the bear's got a squeaky toy, we're done. Or a cat, forget about it. Especially a cat.
Forget about it.
If a bear and a cat walk by, the cat gets the attention. Yeah, for sure. Guaranteed.
We'll be mauled to death by the bear. Right. Before the Jack Russell will step in. If any of those things are present.
And then whatever happens with the cat, she'll come back and go, What are you doing laying around?
Do you want to play kick a ball?
Yeah. I got my I'm done looking at the cat.
It does say that Jack Russell Terriers are famous for their bravery. Okay. They are fearless, territorial, and protective. Now, she is territorial. She is pretty fearless. Like she'll kind of just go after whatever she chooses to go after. That is true. I think she would she would go after a bear if it were charging. You think? I do.
I mean, I don't think she'd go after. I think she would stand her ground and bark at it a lot. And hopefully her little uh voice would hold up. Well because she gets that like raspy ha ha after barking for a minute or two.
There was a Jack Russell named Ninja Moves.
Great name for a Jack Russell. Come on, Ninja Moves.
That actually did scare a black bear away. Yeah. Saved its owner from an attack.
Well, it's a black bear too. Black bears are they don't want to be near things and they get scared. So that's good. You want to you want to make yourself appear big to a to a
maybe that bear knew that dog's name was Ninja Moves, and he was like, I don't want any part of this.
Yeah, because you have ninja moves.
We think our dog's name is actually corndog.
She was because for some reason when you go, hey corn dog, she goes, What's up? She looks at you. to that more than her real name. Like, What's going on? Hey, corndog. You talking to me?
It's not a frightening name.
Corn dog. Get the bear. Get the bear corn dog. She's not gonna. No.
Now, our prior dog, our blue healer. Yeah. She would have protected me in a second. No ifs ands or butts about it. That dog would have saved me from anything.
She didn't like it if I picked you up. If your feet came off the ground, that dog's name was Stella, and she definitely would have had an issue. Yeah, I miss that dog. I know. That was a good dog. Yep.
She was the only one that came to rescue me when I fell on the kitchen floor. Was anyone else around? Yeah, everyone was around. Are you sure? Yep. I don't remember. Because I remember being like, Well, thank you, Stella, for coming to my rescue. Yeah, I don't recall. No, no, you wouldn't. But Stella did. Stella remembers.
It doesn't sound familiar. Are you sure that happened?
Our dog, our current dog, our Luna dog, our Jack Russell. She gets so distracted so easily. I just feel like she would like if a bear came toward her, she'd be like, hey, get out of here. And then she'd be like, Oh, what's this over here? Go check this out.
For a while. She would bark for a while and then be like, this is boring. I'm gonna go do something else. Oh, look, a rock I can push around with my hands.
She does push around rocks. With her hands.
Bizarre. Never seen a dog push around rocks with her hands. It's the weirdest thing. We have a weird dog. We have a broken weird dog. Luna, the wonder jack wrestler.
Russell, you're strange. We always get kind of the weird broken dogs.
She's a weird broken dog.
Her other dog was like bathroom shy.
That is correct. She wouldn't go to the camping. And she wouldn't go to the until it was like, I have to go to the bathroom. And then it was an event. Yeah. Like, you just need to go to the bathroom when you're not at your own home grass. You're like, come on, dude.
Quit holding your bladder. She was also afraid of the dark. Yes.
If she was outside and the sun went down, she was not happy about that. Like, can I come in now? I really need to come in. I really am afraid of the dark. Yep. They're little weird creatures, dogs, you know.
Each with their own unique personalities. Very good. We get the weirdest of the bunches. I think so. And your mom. Your mom gets some weird doggos. Yeah. I think she picks them out on purpose. Yeah, she likes them that way. She's like, find me the weirdest one. I'll take him. Yeah.
Yeah. She's got one right now. Strange little dog. But it's okay.
I just need to know if they're gonna protect me from a bear. That's all. I don't want to find out. We booked tickets for the Southeast Idaho garden tour.
Yeah, you're feeling like you're gonna just be envious the whole time.
Well, yeah, because when we do the parade of homes, we've gotten to take a tour of the Parade of Homes before. And the idea is that you're supposed to get on all these great ideas, right?
Like you're supposed to be inspired. And then I just leave going, man. So I feel the same way about the garden tour. I feel like I'm gonna go. Some of the pictures have been posted online of all these amazing gardens. And I go, oh man. I'm just gonna go.
Why are you uh why are you sneak peeking? Why am I comparing? Well, no, no, comparing's gonna happen. But why are you sneak peeking? Uh-oh.
I just wanted to, I didn't know there was gonna be sneak peeks. Well, don't sneak peek. Well, I didn't know there was gonna be. I was just on the Facebook group, and I was checking out information.
But I got a sneak peek. Are you excited? I am excited, actually. Good. I think it's gonna be awesome. Yeah, I'm actually gonna be fun. Think we're gonna get some really cool ideas on what we want to do to our garden.
Yeah, I do too. I think uh I'm I'm looking at a few different things, and I'm I'm curious to see if there are any that are kind of our size. Um, because I I've got more stuff that I want to do back there, landscaping-wise, and in some new flower beds and different things. So I'm hoping to see some execution of backyards that are similar to ours. I know we're gonna see stuff that's grandiose and big, and we're gonna see stuff that's kind of farmy. Yeah. Um, so I know we're gonna see a lot of different gardens, but I really hope that there's something that's kind of uh in the wheelhouse of what we have going on. So uh anyway.
Yeah, I think it's gonna be fun. All of the proceeds go to um Happyville. Happyville community farm.
Yeah, which is uh which is a great uh great cause. So uh and it's in my old stomping grounds. When I was a kid, I lived in Happyville. Yes, you did, uh, which is still exists. The house that I lived still stands.
I know every time we're in that area, we have to take a tour through it. You give me like a here's where Ray lived, and here's where my grandma Betty lived, and here's right and my dad tore down that to build this. That's right. I know all of the stuff. Do you?
Who was the neighbor that lived directly next to us?
Oh that was Ray, I know.
No, he was a couple houses dead.
Okay, the neighbor that lived directly next to you.
It was somebody and then Penny and then Ray. I don't remember. Lou. And you know what Lou taught me how to do? Whistle. No. Slingshot. No. Horseshoes. He had horseshoe pits behind his house. That was gonna be my next guest. I he gave me a pair of horseshoes, and I was actually pretty darn good.
And I like he invited me to go do competitions at Tophas Park. I never took him up on it. I should have. You should have. I could have been a competitive horseshoe player.
We could have been millionaires. Hey, we have horseshoes. Yeah, I know. We should put in a horseshoe pit. Where? In our backyard.
Do you know how far apart those have to be? Okay. A big distance. We have a big distance. No, we do not.
If you put it on one side of the yard and on the other side of the yard, not enough distance. I think that could be enough distance. There's no straight line. By the shed. And then And then what? Where's the other one? You just put in one.
Why do you need two? Have you never played horseshoes? No, like one on each end. Yes. You put one on this end of the shed, one on this end of the shed. That's not far enough apart. I think it is.
And the gardens there. What do you mean?
On this shed that's by the fence. That's too skinny.
You gotta have a good place to get an arch. What do you talk? That's like two feet wide.
I'm not a horseshoe expert like you are. Yeah.
A story you didn't know. I know all these stories.
I probably heard that story before.
About me potentially being a horseshoe champion.
Yeah, I just forgot it. Nerd. Whatever. Just kidding. It was the 90s. Actually, you are pretty good at horseshoes. I, surprise, not so much.
I haven't trained in a lot of years. Trained? Yeah. I just love playing horseshoes.
Well, let's play. We have them. Let's make a pit.
I gotta get some railroad ties to build backers.
You can't. Why do you have to use railroad ties? To build backers. Why can't you just use something else?
Why? Because that's that's what you build them out of. They gotta be heavy duty.
You gotta have a pit. Those smell bad. Well, no horseshoe pits going in.
Can't just have a pole sitting in the dirt. You know? I know. You gotta have a legit pit. It's gotta be measured out. Specific size. It has to be of a of tournament quality. I get it. I get it.
Anyway, garden tour tomorrow. We're going. Yep. Josh, there's free snakes.
I want none of them. First of all, I don't want snakes, whether you have to buy them or whether they're giving them away for free, or whether they come with hundred dollar bills. I don't want a snake.
There's a running bit that I have where if something spills, like if there's a news report of
like a bunch of eggs fell off a truck. You go free eggs. One time there was milk. Yeah, free milk, but it was like pouring in the gutters. You had to bring your own people bring your own container.
There was a bee spill a while ago.
Right. Free bees, yeah. In Yellowstone. Well, there is free snakes. Where? China. Good.
There's been some heavy rainfall and flooding in southern China, and it's triggered an unusual environmental and public health crisis. The snakes went in the roads. Uh 900 snakes. Yeah. Including venomous cobras. Okay. They escaped from a breeding colony. Oh boy. And they spread into nearby residential areas. A state of emergency was declared.
And uh how will they ever know if they got them all?
I know. And there's a special response team. I don't think China anymore.
That's it. I'm out. See ya. I'd be leaving.
I know there was a dam that was damaged by extreme rainfall. And then floodwaters destroyed parts of the farm's security systems, allowing a large number, 900, to escape. They have strengthened their anti-venom supplies for possible snake bites. Uh I'm watching a video. I don't want to see it. It's okay.
900 snakes crawling everywhere.
There's floodwaters, so they're swimming through the waters. There was one picture. Look at them. They're crazy. I know they're everywhere. And there was like a cobra head, like just sticking up out of the water.
Like Go I know. Go get yourself a free snake. No, thank you. Don't think I will. No, I don't want to. Is he bopping a snake? Well, yeah, it's just a guy that's at his house.
Yeah, a stick and he was bopping it.
Yeah, he's at his own private domicile. Yes. Snake is like, hey, let me come in, bud. No. Then that guy's like, no, no. He bopped it with a stick.
Look, he's poking it. You get out of here. Stirring up the the flood snake.
The floodwater. Oh.
You get out of here, you snakes. A log floated by. What would you do? Move away. How?
In floodwaters? You can't move away in floodwaters.
Dude, look how fast they are on the water. Yeah, I know. Forget about it.
And that is a that's a yellow touch black snake. What's that? I don't remember. They taught us all of these things to help us keep us safe, but I don't remember.
If red touches black, you're okay, Jack. If black touches yellow, you're a dead fellow. Is that how it went? I don't know. Look it up. I don't want to.
Would you say? See, there's the cobra head. Just stick it out of the water. I don't like it. He's like, hey.
They need to round up those snakes.
Well, luckily you don't live in China. Yeah.
But they're already in the water, so they can swim here. Great. How long does it take a snake to swim here? I don't know. I'm gonna have to move. Snake?
Are you that freaked out by snakes? I don't like them. Yeah, you don't. We babysit a snake once. Yeah.
Told that story. I don't like it. You brought a snake into our house for days. You didn't even get close. I hated it. Yeah, you did not like it. I don't like it. I don't like their faces. I don't like their little mouths. I don't like them.
I didn't mind. I don't want poisonous ones, but I didn't mind the little. What did we have? What was it? Corn snake. Corn snake, yeah. It was fine. No, it wasn't. His name was Bentley. It's not fine.
He was fine. Negative. Free snakes in China. Go get them. Got to see Toy Story 5.
And Yes. there's a couple of scenes in the movie. I'm not going to give away any spoilers, don't worry.
But there's a couple of scenes in the movie where it's like, oh, I remember playing with this toy. Okay. So I wanted to ask you. If you could pick up a toy, just one toy right now to play with again. What would it be? What was your what was your favorite as a kid?
I'm trying to really think. Like Hot Wheels. GI Joe. I had some GI Joes. I had some cars. Um I had video games. So trying to go prior to video games because once I got computer and Nintendo and stuff, I spent a lot of time doing that. But I'm trying to think like, okay, before like what did I have toy toys, right?
Exactly. And I'm trying to like I'm looking in my room. I had a couple of bookshelves. I had some books. I had uh what did I like? I had a couple of like uh alien predator type toys at a couple of those. Cool. Tons and tons of Ninja Turtles. I love the reference turtles.
You talk about ninja turtles a lot. I wish I could get
uh the original like 80s Ninja Turtle toys. They were I have one. But um and it's cool, but it's I wish I had a bunch of. bunch of them. It's not the whole set. Yeah, so I still have my Leonardo. He's in my studio. Lego? Did you play Lego? Lots of Lego, lots and lots and lots of Lego. Um I had bins of Lego. Um Did I have anything else?
Lego and Ninja Turtle, that would be your go-to.
It's probably, yeah, it's probably the big thing for me, would be Ninja Turtles and Lego. Yeah.
Mine would be cabbage patch dolls. And Barbies. And Barbies. Right. Uh I knew that about you. That's what I would go back in a second. I saw a thing yesterday that said, how come a girl at a certain age says that you're supposed to have quit playing with dolls, but the boys can play video games forever and ever until they die.
I am really curious to see what nursing homes look like in another 20 years. What do you mean? Because like... as video games have been such an integral part of our lives. Like, are we gonna sit around like I'm kind of looking forward to some game nights?
I got I gotta go game with the squad. They're gonna have a hard time getting me to come play bingo, but boy, am I gonna be doing some gaming.
That would be awesome. Right. Actually, yeah. Who's who's got me on Mario Party?
It's gonna be land parties at the nursing home. They gotta get prepared. Start building those spaces because you're gonna need a room full of computers and video games because that's what's gonna happen. What are you gonna do when you make it to the nursing home? I'm gonna be gaming with the boys. Where are we dropping, boys? Bunch of white hairs hanging around playing video games. White hairs? No hairs, no hairs. Headsets, it's gonna be awesome.
That is gonna be awesome.
I mean, you think about that. Like when you go you go to a nursing home now, they've got like we're playing bridge, or we're playing Pinakle, or we're playing, you know. Yeah. I don't know how to play any of those games. Same. But I do know how to play Tetris for hours and hours and hours.
Challenge you to a Mario Kart. That's what I'm saying. Let's go. That's you're gonna hit me with a banana peel. Yeah. Take this blue shell, baby.
So that is gonna be interesting. Um, but that's you know, I really do feel like that's like a 20-year-away thing. Because when it better be when Gen X starts going into nursing homes and stuff.
20 years away, that's only 60.
For us, we're we're at the bottom end of it.
Okay. Okay. Like, I'm not going to a nursing home in 20 years, dude.
I didn't say us. Okay, okay. In 20. It's a the top end. Start working on it. Have some vision. Nursing home's got to start going, like, yeah, we do video game tournaments.
Like we gotta start. We gotta have some TVs.
We gotta have some concerts. Working it out. Like now's the time to think about these things. That's a freebie. You start thinking about it now. You're gonna attract membership like crazy.
You're gonna have residents with a waiting list like you wouldn't believe. I gotta be on that team. You gotta have esports teams in your nursing homes. You gotta have jerseys.
You gotta interact with them. Think of the cognitive abilities you're gonna be able to like retain because you're gaming and you've got muscle memory and you've got these things going on. It's gonna be huge.
It's just gonna be huge. Why are you giving these ideas away for free? This is our retirement. This is our retirement plan.
What? Open, open uh uh Gen X nursing home. I don't think I have the capital.
Get those memberships rolling in now.
Yeah, sign up. You're gonna want to be on this team. We've got all the best Doritos and Mountain Dews. Ew. No. It's gamer food. Not dice. We got a taco bell in the cafeteria, so you can go get your two o'clock bean burrito. Bugles. Yeah. Yeah, you know.
Stop giving these ideas away for free.
Just be prepared for it. It's coming.
So I've long considered myself uh my middle name. Well, I got a couple of different middle names. One of them is danger. No, it's not. But the other one is good intentions.
And I feel like that the only reason that you think your middle name is good intentions is because you over you have uh you have high expectations for yourself. And so you uh you set yourself up for failure more often than you should.
So my middle name should be set myself up for failure.
I'm just saying, you your middle name should be lower your own expectations.
Right. Like I always have really big ideas, and I'm right it would be so fun. This would be so awesome.
Right, but then you have like a timeline and a plan. Yeah. And then when things don't go according to your timeline or your plan, you feel like a failure, but no one else knew your plan.
I understand. I understand, but the thing, my follow-through is lacking. I've got really good ideas. Follow through falls short every time. I bring this up because we've talked a lot on this show about different things that we think would be fun to do. Oh, do you have examples? Yep. We were gonna um record ourselves running really fast. We haven't done that.
We were gonna have a What do you mean record ourselves run really fast?
We were gonna time ourselves running. We talked about timing ourselves running. We did? Yes. Yes, we did. Okay. We also talked about having a bread bake off. Yeah, I like bread. That'd be a good time. I know eat a couple of bread. This is what we're doing.
Just the other day, you said you were thinking about getting into sourdough. I know it.
I don't know yet about that. Okay, just hang on. Um, anyway, we have all these ideas that stuff we've talked about on the radio about like we gotta do that. And then we don't do it. Okay. So I've written down. Specifically the ones that I remember that we've talked about are the bread bake off and then the running fast.
I have video that I recorded a while ago that I never put together and posted. What was it? Um, I was gonna go back and look. It's been a while. Oh, what was it about? Uh it's right here.
It's about the chocolate dipped uh Pringles. Oh, yeah. We did that one. Yeah, we did, and they weren't bad, but I've got that. I've got the videos.
I just never put together and uh and posted. Um and then uh we were gonna do the broccoli thing. I get asked about that. I've got uh one of the scouts asked me all the time did you ever do the broccoli with the chocolate?
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Yeah. That was uh, I think that was a would you rather? It was a would you
rather have chocolate flavored broccoli or broccoli flavored chocolate? And I said, those are the same thing, and then we had a whole debate about it. Yeah, okay. I'm writing that down. Oh, good.
Okay, we gotta do this though, Josh. We gotta our follow-through is lacking. And it's both of us, not just me. Uh last spring, I talked about like making dandelion bread, and I didn't do it and I didn't do it, and I didn't do it. And then finally I was like, no. No, I'm gonna do it. Right.
And I followed through on the dandelion bread. Yeah. I remember I was there. The dandelion bread was actually pretty delicious. It wasn't terrible. Okay. I've written bread bake off. Do you want to try that this weekend? I don't know. Okay. Let's not put the pressure on it.
Why you got that's the pressure you put on it.
Well, how is that pressure? If you set a time.
I don't know what this weekend's gonna hold. It's it's it's hours away. I might have something come up. Might be busy. I don't know if I have time to make bread.
I haven't looked at a bread recipe. I don't know what I what I'm getting myself into. I gotta spend time with that. Am I gonna do it on the smoker? I don't know. I gotta think about things. Yeah.
Well, I thought that was the whole idea that you brought it up because you wanted to make it in the smoker. Right.
But I I don't know how to do that. I gotta learn.
You gotta you gotta smoke something this weekend. And I'll tell you what you gotta do.
I write it down. Add it to the calendar. Set the expectation. What do I gotta do?
You really like Mo Bettas. Yes. But I have a coworker who really loves Mobettas. Okay. And they tried the Mobetta's recipe. Okay. And she said it was identical. Okay. So I mean, I could just go there. Why'd I buy you a smoker? You've used it once. I got it two weeks ago.
I need to, I gotta get some meats. And I gotta get some knowledge and I gotta get, you know, a few things. I don't I gotta get butcher paper. I gotta get some stuff. What do you need a butcher paper for? Wrapping the meat. Gross. I need a meat towel.
No, you don't need a meat towel. Our boss talks about using meat towels for his smoking.
Because what he does is he smokes the meat, and then when he takes it out to rest after it's been cooking all day, he wraps it in his meat towel and he puts it in a cooler, and then when he takes it out when it's ready to eat, it just falls apart. He's like, it just goes blah, blah, blah, blah. and you're ready to eat.
Yeah, but then he wants everybody to smell his.
He brought meat to work in the meat towel. And then since he had it here, he was like, check it out. It's just an insulator, right?
It's so gross. Um Okay. what were we talking about?
Well, uh friend of the show, John just sent a message and he said, talking about things that we should do and and smoking meats, we should do a community smoke off.
He said, Community smoke. He wants to have a we want some competition. I think John's looking for competition.
He's like, you know what would be good is if we had a community competition. Fine. I don't want to organize that. I'm too lazy. I might have something come up.
I might know what the weekend holds. John put it together, John. If you put it together. Ah, they will smoke. They will, they will come. That's right. I will come.
I'm not gonna smoke.
You're gonna come and eat the foods.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna participate in the cook-off.
Right, but you will definitely help. I'll come encourage. And eat you could be a judge. Because having someone who doesn't like meat judge a meat competition sounds like a good idea.
Because it's gonna be to your preference. So everyone burn it. Don't make it so it'll taste good. Make it so it's charcoal. Matter of fact, I'll just hand you a briquette and go, do you like that? Yes. Tastes delicious. Um Would you rather this or that
would you rather only be able to use a flip phone or only watch TV with commercials forever?
Um, I'm going flip phone. Really? Yeah. Why?
Because there was some really good commercials. Yeah, but back in the day.
That's fine. I'm not, it's fine. I will take the flip phone. Because then I can call or text, and that's all I need, and then I'll just do everything else on the laptop. Okay. So look how cool I am on my laptop. Flip phone. Flip phone. Plus also call or text. That's it.
A flip phone is cool because like if you're angry, you can hang up on someone. You can go ugh, instead of just pushing a button. Right.
It's a little more impactful. Yeah. That makes sense. Plus, if you're in a hurry and
you need to call somebody, you open it really fast, like. ugh. Ugh, I'm in a hurry. I gotta make this phone call. I'm gonna hurry. Okay, but then you're gonna have to, if you text, you have to do the T9. T nine.
Fine. I don't like texting anyway. I'm gonna be calling everybody, so get ready to answer your phone. Or not talk to me at all. You're gonna text me something, I'm gonna call you back. Yes.
Calling on the phone gross. Yeah. Okay. Well, what are you picking? I picked flip phone. Okay. Because I don't want to watch commercials. Just take me back to my regular scheduled program. Yeah. Okay.
Would you rather this or that? You just took your sweater off, which was excellent timing, because I was going to have to ask you to do that for this conversation. Okay. So take a look at your uh at your arm. Okay. Okay. You have uh you have your wrist, then you have your forearm, then you have your elbow here, your inner elbow, which has like a crease.
Yep. And then if you look like an inch or so above your elbow crease near your bicep, you're gonna see that next crease. The bicep crease. This one right here. Do you see it?
Oh no, I'm too busy looking at my guts.
guns. Stop flexing and just answer the question. Okay, what? Do you see this second line? No. I don't have that. You don't have that? Uh-uh. How do you not have another line just up your bicep? Yes, you do. Right here? Yeah. Okay. You see that little line? Yes. So there's a rumor going around on the internet that that is your baby elbow. What's that mean? Like when your little arm was little, that's where your elbow bent when you were a baby. No.
My elbow is always bent at my elbow. You're not wrong.
But the rumor on the internet is that that line is your baby elbow. No. And when you're when you had little short arms. No. And when you grew.
Your elbow doesn't move. No. Stop it. No. For real. For real.
People are like, look at my little baby elbow. Stop it. The internet is Dumb. Look how cute my baby elbow is. Stop it.
The claim is a myth. Yeah. The horizontal line across your bicep is a natural skin crease formed by the underlying anatomy of your biceps and your muscles in there. The line is created by the way your skin adheres to the underlying fascia and muscle tissues as it flexes.
Did somebody say muscle? Because I got them. Anyway, I just I thought you'd like to know that's not your baby elbow. Duh. So when you're scrolling the internet and people go, oh, my baby elbow.
Look at it. Look how cute my baby elbow.
The internet is a dumb place sometimes. Yes, it is.
Yes, it is. But if you look, like if you uh let me see. Look at muscles. I'm just gonna look up baby elbow. Out.
Who hit the gym today? This gal.
Baby elbow line on bicep. That's what I'm trying to look at, but it's not giving me what I'm looking for. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A lot of people are asking questions about that second line. Is this where my baby elbow was?
Shut up.
Because babies don't have that line because they don't have bicep muscles. So it must be that that was where my baby elbow was and when I had a little baby arm. Stop.
Stop it right now. Quit being dumb. That's what the internet said. Hold on, let's take another look at this bicep.
Oh, stop. You're kissing your biceps now? What is going on over there?
I've worked hard for these puppies. You think these come for free?
Let's see your tricep. This one. Can you can you show off that muscle? Yeah. Where is it? I'm still waiting. Show me your triceps. Right here. Where? I'm seeing an arm. Yeah. How about that? There it is. It wiggle waggles. How come your tricep wiggle wags?
Oh, that's just my old lady tricep.
Is my tricep wiggle waggle? No. No. Because you're built different. Yeah. Facts. Alright All right. Well, that's going to do it for today. It's going to do it for this week. Have a great weekend. We'll see you back here on Monday.
Good weekend.
It's the weekend. It's here. Yeah, I know. Isn't that great?
Yeah, it's so great. I love the weekend.
Have a great one. We will see you back here on Monday. Stay cool. Like literally, stay cool this weekend. It's going to be a hot one. And never change. Oh, right.
Like in a yearbook. Stay cool. Stay cool. Peace. Ta-ta for now. Have a good summer.
See you next year. Yeah. You know, all that.
Yeah, I'll love that. All right. Have a good weekend. See you tomorrow. Goodbye. Bye tomorrow. See you Monday. Yeah, not tomorrow. Right.
Sleeping in. Yes. Booyah. Okay, bye.
