Is it working? I don't think it is, but let's, let's just get the day going. Keep carrying on. Catch up with me. It'll be cool.
Carry on. Today, you can you have a little bit of an excuse. What is it, ma'am? It's lazy mom's day. Yes.
Yeah. This should be every day. Well, because parenting is a demanding job Yes. It's okay to take a break, rest, practice self care, recharge, make you a better parent. It's lazy mom's day.
Yes. Yeah. Go get a mom's You wanna know what else might help with some energy? What? It's coffee ice cream day.
Oh. Yeah. I don't really care for that. I do. Do you I like it.
I do. I think it's a little too strong. Not usually. Okay. What can I say?
What can I say? Hey. It's bring your manners to work day. Take note. Bring manners to work.
Elbows off the counter. Never. Yeah. It is National Food Bank Day. A great day to remember that food banks around the country and even right here in East Idaho always need help.
So, good day, National Food Bank Day. It's fight procrastination day. Wait. Wait. Wait.
Wait. Yeah? How can it be lazy mom's day and fight procrastination? Because not everybody is a mom getting away with being lazy. Everybody else has to fight the procrastination today.
Feel those should have been 2 separate days. Well, they aren't. Well, they should. It is, read a book day. Maybe that's what you could do.
On lazy mom day? Yeah. Yeah. Sounds pretty fantastic. It is also a national colorblind awareness day.
I know. Our son is colorblind. Know, And I'm aware of it. I am also aware of it. It always makes me sad when we go to see the Fall colors.
Foliage and Or anything. Everything just looks green to him. Yeah. Yeah. Everything's just oh, that's a different shade of green and yellow.
And brown. Yeah. This is sad. I know. But he doesn't want the glasses, though.
He doesn't. He's like, I don't wanna know. I don't wanna know all the colors. I wanna know what I'm missing out. But then he would have the glasses so he wouldn't be missing out.
He could wear them anytime he wants. I've told him we've had this argument. He he thinks he would be too sad. Is that what did he say sad? He thinks that he would have to wear those glasses all the time because he would be Because when he took them off.
Yeah. And when he took them off, he'd be like, oh, what is this dreary world? Well, that's not good. I I know. Colorblind awareness day along with all the other things.
Be lazy, mom. Lazy mom. It's Friday Yes. On a long short week. It was pretty long.
I know. For for a 4 day work week Right. It was long. It's been a long 4 days. Let's get this day out of the way.
Alright. Good morning. It's Josh. And Chantel. Alright.
Should we just get this out of the way? No. No? Mm-mm. You wanna prolong it?
No. I just don't wanna talk about it. You don't wanna talk about the NFL season is officially underway, and we watched a game last night between the Chiefs and the Ravens? I partially watched it because it's gross. Well, it's kind of a big deal because it's being estimated at about $35,000,000,000, throughout the 2024 season will be wagered on NFL games.
How much? 35,000,000,000 with a b. Geez. Yeah. That's up 31% from last season.
That's a lot of people betting on football, which is pretty, pretty wild. Let's see. What's going on? Taylor Swift, she was at the game supporting Travis Kelce. That's a thing that happened.
Yeah. Yeah. Here's something that you may not have noticed if you didn't watch the whole time. They didn't cut to her very often. Good.
Because they were getting some flack for that. Yeah. And, apparently, they said, quote, we'll be prepared for her and obviously welcome her with open arms. She wants to be a fan, but it's her time off, and so they want to be respectful of her time Oh, dear. And not not bug her while she's just trying to be supportive Good.
Supportive fan. She was there, last night. Traviss himself only caught 3 passes Oh. Which not good for my fantasy football team. I needed to see more action from him on the field.
I had Lamar Jackson quarterback from the Ravens on my Fantasy team and also the Ravens defense. Right. The Ravens defense was killing it in the 1st quarter, and then they weren't. They only gave me 3 points. I know.
And I told you that's because they work in reverse. Like, they start they start at 10, and they can go up from there, but most of the time, defenses just go down from 10. Although, Lamar Jackson gave me 25 points. So he did alright. Okay.
They didn't win, but he did alright. Did you see No. He didn't even let me finish the sentence. So he gave you 25 points, Lamar Jackson. Yeah.
Mahomes only brought in 15 points. They won the game, but he brought only 15 points in. He's a loser. I know. And then, our son, who's a big, big football fan in general, he, like, at midnight, sent us a text and said, the chief's defensive coordinator called a timeout, and that's not allowed.
Only the head coach and the quarterback can signal a timeout. They broke some rules Oh. As always happens, man. So more football tonight. The first time they've been in Brazil, so that is where the game is tonight with the Eagles.
Brazil? Yeah. Interesting. It is in Brazil. So that's happening, and then you've got regular football back on Sunday.
But you've got the 1st Friday game tonight, Brazil. When do the Vikings play? Sunday. Sunday? Yes.
Who are they playing? You should know this. Should know this, but I don't. So just tell me. Well, I'm gonna have to look that up real quick.
So Green Bay, Philadelphia tonight, Vikings Giants. And I did see okay. I did see that there was a a quick little story here. DeMar Hamlin will start in Buffalo's home season opener against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, and that will be his first start since he collapsed and went into cardiac arrest on the field during that game against the Bengals in 2023. He played 5 games last season, but he never started.
So this will be his first time starting since, that accident. So that's what I know. Football's taken care of, done, out of the way. 1st game in the books, as they say. As they say.
A British woman found out that her cat, Ted, had died while she was on vacation. Okay. I'm sad about the cat. I'm hold on. We'll get to the sadness about the cat in a second.
I think it's hilarious when people give human names to their animals. Ted. Ted. Ted. I gotta feed Ted.
Yeah. I this is just hysteric. Ted ran away again. Now that's sad that Ted died. Ted died.
Well, she was on vacation. She was very sad. She came back. She had the cat cremated. And then 2 days later, Ted strolled back into the house with the back flap in the door.
Through the cat door? Yeah. Okay. I know a little bit about science. What do you know?
I know that, cremated remains do not reconstruct to form a cat. So Ted's do? No. I don't think so. I think Ted didn't die.
Ted did not die. I think another cat that looked just like Oh, no. Ted. Oh, no. And it happened to be in her backyard.
Pretty wild. Deceased. Yes. It's a pretty wild coincidence, but, yes, Ted is actually alive and kicking. Not Ted is dead.
Oh, no. Oh, no. And the grief and the sadness and all of the emotion. Imagine the range of emotions where you're sad Yeah. And then you're, like, shocked.
The the freak out And then of the cat walked back in and you go, nah. The cat came back Okay. Yeah. To bury the state. The cat came I've heard that song.
They thought he was the dog. Yeah. That guy. Ted. Ted.
I didn't know his name was Ted. He's just always been called the cat, but he did come back. Ted's alive. Story. What a story, How about it?
Ted the cat. You crazy cat. Or maybe it was Ted. Maybe Ted was murdered by not Ted. And now not Ted.
Ted is like, dude, you got a life. I want that life. And so not Ted is now Ted. That's a movie. It's a single white cat situation.
That's it. You and I have been talking a little bit about a metal detector. Yes. I I still think it's a good idea. I think it would be a good time.
I want one. I know. I think I think, we should try and make that happen. Okay. Because I I think you'd have a good time with it Yes.
I absolutely do. Walking around. Yeah. And here's Here's what else, Josh. Like that.
That's all I hear from you. I was beep booping. Our backyard would be full of holes. I'd be digging up constantly. Think is buried back there.
Gold? Shoot. I told you, the guy that we bought our house from Uh-huh. We didn't meet him, but he had a rock collection. He was a rock hound.
Yeah. He was a total rock hound. He had all kinds of cool rocks when we first moved in. But you think he has buried gold? Yeah.
Because we found gold sluicing stuff in the shed when we moved in. No. I have all that. We didn't find gold sluicing stuff. All we have is a piece of mesh and a little squeeze bottle with nothing in it.
That's gold. That's gold. That's gold finding materials. Okay. Well, listen to this story.
Gold back there. I'm saying. Imagine for a minute, you're digging up your backyard Yes. For a new swimming pool, and you stumble upon a medieval treasure. A family in Germany, while digging for a pool, discovered 15 1500 medieval silver coins that date back to the 14th century.
1500? 1500 medieval silver coins. This guy is in he's in, like, the bobcat little excavator thing, and he's just digging with the cup. And his coins just start falling out of the dirt. And he's like, what is going on?
He found 1500 medieval silver coins. The discovery is described as the biggest since 1949 Really? Which also happened in in Germany in a different region. Despite some rainy weather turning the site into a muddy mess, the team kept digging, and they found even more coins and more coins and more coins. Modern day value has not yet been placed on the collection, but an archaeologist suggests its value back in the 14th century.
He said, you could have bought about a 150 sheep with these coins back then. That's a lot of coin. That's a lot of sheep. A 150 sheep? You're a rich man.
Woo. Mhmm. So, yeah, I think, you know, I don't really want you digging holes all over the backyard. But No. But if you find the gold You saw that one metal detector Yeah.
That tells you how deep the item is And what metal is. What material it's made out of. If it's zinc or nickel or gold. Gold. Gold.
Also also also, how cool would it be if we found something really cool, and then people are like, we gotta talk to you. Put them on the news. Put them on the news. Would be so famous. Do you want to be on the news?
No. Put her on the news. Hold up. I gotta find it. I wasn't lose?
I wasn't prepared. Oh, no. Okay. Here it is. I found it.
What was the celebration restaurant that your family ate at when you were a child? Oh, this is a good question. Yeah. Like, if you had a birthday Sure. Or if your parents were like because when I was a kid, I don't know about you, we didn't eat out very often.
We ate at home for a lot of, you know, like, day to day stuff. I feel like our kids eat out much more than I ever did. So I you grew up in Burley. I grew up in Idaho Falls. Burley.
Burley. What restaurant is in Burley that was your like, we always go to Pizza Hut. That's right. We went big deal. Yeah.
There was a pizza. I'm saying whenever we're in Burley and it's like, let's go, we go to sit down at the Pizza Hut. Yeah. That's where we went. That was your that was your spot?
That was the place. Yes. And you get your pan pizza with a good greasy crust? Yes. And the salad bar?
And that's had that going? Where where do you wanna eat for your birthday? You could choose anything you wanted for your birthday. So in Idaho Falls, we had a pizza place called Choices Pizza. Oh.
I used to go to Choices a lot, which was they had the big arcade, and they did, they did pizza. I think they did, like, a pizza buffet thing. Pizza had We would do. Really had a they had arcades. Not like Choice's Pizza, though.
And Godfathers had a good a good arcade thing going too. So between those 2, probably the most common. We had other things. Like, we always went to, like, Easter brunch at Garcia's, you know, by the mall. I always had that.
And then that moved around, and we did other things. Like, there like, growing up was a different time when you went to restaurants. It was, like, it was definitely a big treat. It was a big deal. We spent a lot of time at JJ North's.
We yeah. A lot of time. Because we would drive to Twin sometimes because Twin Falls had more options, more restaurants. It was a big city. Mhmm.
So we would drive to the big city Yeah. And wait sometimes. Well, a lot of times, we would go to Sizzler. Yeah. The Sizzler.
I know that about your your parents. Your parents are big Sizzler people. Yes. They have. I grew up in a in a North's family.
We were a we were a JJ North's family and JB's, because JB's was on the west side. I grew up on that side of town. So we'd go to JB's, and we'd go to We did have there was a there was a buffet in Burley that we used to go to quite often as well for celebrations. Mhmm. Like, Friday night, let's go to the drive in and to the buffet.
I can't remember what the buffet was called, but I remember we had a van. Oh. And you could lay down the seats, and they ate. And after you had the buffet, you had to Yeah. I had to lay down.
I was like, oh, I'm so full. I have to lay down. Your poor van. And I was allowed to because I was the baby. Oh, boy.
Yeah. And your siblings had to be seat belted in. Yeah. Yeah. So I told them the seat belted in.
No. We did not wear seat belts. Didn't have seat belts? I'm sure they did. We did not use them.
Oh. It was the eighties. You didn't wear seat belts? Get out of town. Nobody wore seat belts in my eighties.
I I wore seat belt. I mean, when I wasn't when I wasn't a child on the floor, like, that's where I hung out most of the time in the, like, single cab truck because we had to have, like, the car seat or whatever for my younger sister so I would be on the floor by my mom's feet. That's where my seat was. Safe. Hey.
You do what you gotta do to get the family around. I have a bucket list band. You do? I do. Which one?
Is it Def Leppard? It is Def Leppard. What about them? Well, they're in Salt Lake next week, and we didn't buy tickets. We talked about this, and I said, if you if you had the choice between Janet and Def Leppard I wanted both.
I know you did. The choice would have been Def Leppard, but we can't get the timing to work right. Like, it just didn't fit in with our schedule. So that's why we picked Janet. We could have done both, but Def Leppard is so good.
When's the show? Def Leppard. It's Tuesday. Oh, yeah. I keep getting I keep getting ads for it.
Like, oh, remember? Def Leppard is coming. You love that because it's in my algorithms. Right. Because I love Def Leppard.
Oh, yeah. I remember being a little kid and being introduced to Dev Leppard by either my older sister or an older cousin or somebody who like rock and roll. Okay. And they were like, check out this bet. Well, they probably didn't say check out this bet.
Check them out. I probably just heard them on the radio or something. Right. And I was like, they're pretty good. They're pretty good.
And then I saw a picture of Joe Elliott, the lead singer. And there's an 8 year old girl. I was like, he's I'm gonna marry him. Pretty cute. Right.
Look. I can still get tickets in the front row. You can? Not the very front row, but, you know, they're $549 change. What?
No way. Yeah. No way. Yeah. Yeah.
Way. I just here's what's sad. I want to see them, and time is running out. If if we just go GA, the tickets are $67 each. Really?
Yeah. GA. Is that the standing? The lawn. Ugh.
You have to stand the whole time. Yeah. How old? How old? Steph Leppard.
I found some tickets for 265. 60. So this is probably like a farewell. They haven't said that, but, they're 65. Come on.
And their time is running out. You're not. What am I gonna do? I'm just sad that we didn't get tickets, and we can't because it just the timing doesn't work. It's Tuesday.
It's a Tuesday. Yeah. Well And we already have plans. 65. Jill Elliott is 65.
And, also And, also has not aged well. Well, there's that. I found some some seated seats. Like, I think the Joe Elliott, kinda he kinda looks like a wizard. Is that right?
Yeah. I I was looking at some of these pictures. I'm like, you could be a wizard in Harry Potter. You're a wizard. How does he look like a wizard?
I was look at some pictures. You'll see you'll see what I'm seeing. Just type in Joe Elliott. Just type it in. He does kinda look like a blonde wizard.
He looks like a blonde wizard. There's even a picture of him, with all this green lighting behind him. Yeah. And he's got his hand kinda out, like he's casting a spell. Like, oh, he is a wizard.
He is a wizard. He's a wizard. Also, what, do they still have all their original members? As far as I know. Dang it.
I which I don't know very far, so don't trust me on it. But yeah. No. If you wanna go, it's Tuesday. I know.
We can just go. I know. We can't. It's a Tuesday. It's a Tuesday night.
Night. Yeah. It's a Tuesday night. We got school. We got work.
It's gotta drive to Utah back 3 hours away. Night. Yeah. No big deal. The show ends at, like, 10:30, 11.
I know. Right? And then we gotta be in here on a Wednesday. Who's their opening? Do they have an opener?
Oh, I'm sure they do. I'm sure they do too. You're asking questions I don't know. It's not gonna happen, but, also, my bucket list band is getting further and further out of reach. Is it really What?
Is this for real? What? I'm just looking. I'm trying to see who's who's with them. Just say it out loud.
Well, it doesn't say on this page. When I first went to their tour page, it shows them with Steve Miller Band and Cheap Trick, but that is and and Journey. But they've done that Def Leppard Journey tour. I've loved Steve Miller Band. Oh, there you go.
But, it doesn't tell me Steve. It doesn't tell me, who's with them in Salt Lake, so I can't answer that question for you. If it was a Steve Steve Miller Band, Steve Miller band and a flippard Yeah. I am in. It's Tuesday.
I know. I gotta tell you about something that is kind of upsetting. Why are you upset? Because they are going to reboot a movie that is near and dear to my heart. Which one?
The Burbs. Okay. Now what? Go. Is this, is this Tom Hanks in this?
Tom Hanks, 1989. And there's something in the in the basement. Fisher. No. What?
I know. I've tried to get you to watch this movie. And he's got on red shoes. No. And, he is a kid, but then he gets a fortune and becomes a a man.
Dude. He is lost on an island with a volleyball. Get out of here. Get out of here. He's got a big imagination.
Okay. Which one is it? You're the worst. I hope people are so mad at you right now. Tom Hanks fans, Burbn fans.
I hope they're all mad at you. The Burbnbs, originally came out 1989. 1989. Okay. And Tom Hanks and Carrie Fisher Yeah.
Are a married couple. Kori Feldman's in it too. Alright. And they have crazy neighbors. Yeah.
There's something going on in the basement. Not in their basement Yeah. In the neighbor's basement. What I'm saying. There's a green glow coming out from the basement.
Exactly. See, I think I've watched it. I just don't remember it well enough. I think you've started to watch it Yeah. And either fell asleep or got bored and left.
That sounds right. But I remember watching this movie when I was a kid and being like, oh, this is so good. It looks like he's wearing, scrubs. Is he wearing scrubs? Who?
Tom Hanks. No. He's not wearing scrubs. It looks like he's wearing scrub pants. Doesn't it?
No. It looks like he's wearing scrub pants and a doctor's coat with a spatula and a hose. Tell me more. Is he a doctor? He's not a doctor.
Those are just his pajamas? I don't know. I don't know what picture he is. Of the cover of the movie. Alright.
The movie poster. It's probably his pajamas. I gotta look up the picture. Hold up. Keep talking.
I think he's a doctor. You think he's a doctor? He's not a doctor. Doctor, and something's going on in the neighbor's basement. Those are his pajamas.
But do you see what I'm saying? That he kinda looks like a doctor? Yeah. I'm not really. He doesn't look like a doctor at all.
He looks like a guy who's obsessed with finding out what's going on in his neighbor's house. What's going on in the neighbor's house? Okay. But they're rebooting it? So are they just remaking it, or why?
Because that's what I'm at. They're out of ideas? Because they're out of ideas. And they're like, what can we do? This movie was cool in the eighties.
Let's remake it. I don't think that we need to do this. Like, let's not keep remaking movies. Let's come up with some new ideas. That's what I'm saying.
I'm I'm all about a sequel. Well, and it's actually being rebooted into a series, which I think is worse. It's not a movie. It's going to be a series. What if it's an animated series?
Is that worse than worse? Yeah. That's the worst of the worst. If you take something awesome and then turn it into an animated series Yeah. Yeah.
You're you're totally checked out at that point. You have zero interest. Correct. When did you start hating cartoons? I don't know.
I don't hate all cartoons. I feel like you kinda hate cartoons. I don't because I love I love Disney cartoons. Like the classic cartoons that you know as a kid, but new cartoons, you don't like. I like inside out.
Okay. That's not what I'm talking about. You talking about? I'm talking about, I'm trying to think of a good example of a cartoon. Bob's Burgers.
Yeah. You're you're not you won't you're not into it. I can't it's hard. It's hard for me to get into it. Yes.
Because it's an animated series? Kinda. Yeah. It's too fun and colorful for you? It just doesn't I don't know.
It's hard for me to connect. Okay. Thanks for calling me out. Well, listen. I I get it.
They're like, I used to read the comics in the newspaper every week. It was a thing. I was always there for it. And when, when Peanuts was in there, I loved it. I loved watching, reading.
Garfield was great. Zitz was good. But I'll tell you, the Doonesenberg 1 or whatever it was did not care for that comic. What'd you like? So I understand that sometimes things just aren't to your taste.
I never liked Kathy. No. Nobody likes Kathy. Now those are comics. I understand.
That's a terrible comic. But but similar to cartoons, sometimes you just they're like, no. This isn't for me. Yeah. So an animated series about the burbs would just not be it.
No. No. Even if it was cool. No. It wouldn't be cool.
They couldn't make it cool. That's that's my point. What if they made it like the new Spider Man movies? The Miles Morales movies. I really did have a problem going into that comic.
I'm not gonna like this because it's animated, and I I was into that. That was a good that was a good animated show. I know. And I'm ready for that next one. When does that one come out?
Too. No one knows. It's a secret. Here's a question that I'm gonna ask you. Alright.
I should've given you prior notice. Oh, okay. I wanna off the cuff, what is the saddest movie scene you can think of? The saddest movie scene? Mhmm.
Well, there's that homeward bound. Sad. That's that's shout out. That's a pretty big moment. I'm try it's gonna be animal related.
Oh, yeah. Well, all of mine, the ones that I could think of, were all, like, early Disney. So Dumbo, when the mom is rocking Dumbo through her cage Wow. Or the fox in the hound Wow. Wow.
Or Wow. My girl. He can't see without his glasses. No. The land before time Don't even with ducking hell.
Don't even with that. Stop it. These are sad movies. I know. Why did we have so much sadness in our movies know, Wes.
Growing up? Kids. What is going on? Sad. Right?
Yeah. Woah. Big sad moments. You have more? I mean, that the first thing that came to mind was the sad, sad scene in Homeward Bound, and then it turns out I don't wanna spoil it.
Don't. So it's a new movie. It's a new movie. Shadow. Wow.
Yeah. Up? Yeah. Okay. One's sad.
I mean, the the that movie is is wholesome. I asked this on the Facebook community. ET. I love ET. I think ET is great.
Although, I'm trying to figure out when the sad moment is because when, when Elliot and ET are in the that sort of makeshift incubator hospital tent thing, and they're screaming for one another. Yeah. Like, that's a big epic moment. I don't know that I was like like, it's moving that, you know, you've kind of grown to feel for this alien. Yeah.
And I think that's kinda cool, you know, just as a movie goes. Somebody said, when our tax sinks into the mud and never ending Oh, come on. Again, what was going on in the eighties? It made us all like, we gotta cry. It made so many sad.
Somebody said, when Tom Hanks loses his volleyball in Cast Away, Wilson. Yeah. That's a sad sad moment. I'm trying to think. A lot of peep I'm just looking through a list of a few things.
Dude, lamb before time. What a what a thing. The lamb before time? Yeah. I know.
Yeah. That one I was probably, like, 5 years old, and I went, what is happening? Like, I couldn't I couldn't deal. And then there's stuff like somebody on here brought up, like, in Saving Private Ryan when, when, like, people are dying in war and stuff. Like, there there's some moving, moving scenes.
I know. Holy cow. The green mile. That one was a sad movie. Yeah.
This is this is just a sad break. I'm telling you this is a sad This is this is the saddest thing we've talked about. Sad, sad, sad movie. I kinda don't wanna talk about it anymore. I wanna move on and do some happy things.
Okay. Should we get ready to play kid smarts here in a minute? Sure. Okay. Let's do that.
Let's get ready to get smarts. Chime in, I posted that on, the classy Facebook community. Man. So go chime in on your saddest movie. Share your sadness, and we'll get ready to play Kid Smarts, here in just a minute.
There's an academy in New Orleans. It's called Saint Mary's Academy, And there was a centuries old mathematical equation, and there are 2 women who solved it. They used a trigonometry proof. So they just used trigonometry to solve this K. Pythagorean theorem.
So is that not the one that, helps you calculate, triangles? Are you you're asking me about math? I I will not be able to answer. The formula is that a squared plus b squared equals c squared. It's the it is specifically to find another side of a triangle.
So if you have the if you have 2 values, if you have these 2 values see? You know? Look at my hands. I have the I have this one and this one, and I wanna calculate this one. Uh-huh.
A squared plus b squared equals c squared. That's the pythagorean theorem. Okay. Mhmm. So what did they solve?
Because that has existed for a while. I don't know what to solve it. Particular equation. I don't know. I don't know what they did, but nobody could solve it.
It's this this particular mathematical puzzle has I guess it's never been proven with trigonometry. I think that's the big deal. I see. They've never used trigonometry to solve the equation. But these two women solved it using trigonometry, and they specifically like, while a lot of all of their friends were, like, going out and partying at Mardi Gras and different things, they were like, nope.
We're gonna we're gonna stay behind and solve this. We really wanna get to the bottom of this. And these are high school students. I don't think so. I think these are college.
These are college students? College students. Because I'm I just found an article from 2023 where 2 high school students proved the theorem, at an American Mathematics Society meeting, they were presented proof that the theorem, that used trigonometry. They did this, you know, a year ago. 2 high school students did this.
Say look up Saint Mary's Academy because everything I they keep calling them women. I see it feels like they're college students. Anyway, the best part, the coolest part is that Charles Barkley, MBA fame Yes. He promised a $100,000,000 to that academy for them solving this. Yeah.
They are high school seniors. Are they really? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Them. Yeah. They proved it December of 2022. It was published in 2023 at that at that mathematics section. Out now.
Because he just now made good on his he's following up on his thing Jarrah. Which was with what was were you saying his thing was? He promised He promised a 100 not a 100. $1,000,000 to the academy if it was solved. He's just sent over the first $100,000, and he's going to do that continually for the next 10 years.
So it did get solved It did. In 20 December of 2022. Okay. The high school seniors were recognized. They're in college now Okay.
Because they were high school seniors when they did that in 2022. Got it. Okay. 2023, they got mathematical recognition for proving it. And now in 2024, late in 2024, I might add Yeah.
Right? Charles Barkley is like, oh, yeah. I gotta send over I made a promise. Here's crap. Here's your first 100,000.
Think that they were gonna solve it. Said it's a $1,000,000, which is 1,100,000. K. No. It's is that right?
Mhmm. It's a 100 to 101 You're absolutely right now. So he sent over the first how often is he gonna send these? Once a year. Once a year.
Eric, he said he'll give a $100,000 every year for the next decade. Yeah. Okay. There you go. There you go.
Good for him. Also, I feel like he's donating this to the school, which is great, but I also feel like maybe these girls should get some money. Well, I don't know what they got from the Mathematical Society for solving it, but they also solved or slash proved Yeah. The trigonometry, pythagorean theorem. You wanna try and do that?
Oh, easy. Okay. Sure. There's a new movie in the works. What is it?
The Burbs? Nope. It's not The Burbs. It is, it's a a movie about, a cartoon, a Saturday morning cartoon from Pound Puppies. Date no.
It's a it's a live action from a cartoon, also a toy. Also a toy? Yes. Pound puppies. No.
It's not Pound Puppies. My Little Pony. No. What a live action My Little Pony look like. It'd be wild.
Awesome. No. But do you remember the Barbie movie last year? Yeah. And how it was a huge success?
Yes. So in that same vein, they said, what are what's a what's a a boy version? GI Joe. No. What?
Masters of the Universe. Oh, no. Yes. E man. Yeah.
They're doing, live action masters of the universe. Whoops. Sorry. And, they have casted Nicholas Galitzine As as He Man? He Man slash Who do they have?
Prince Adam of Eternia. They have Skeletor. Hold on. Okay. Nicholas Galitzine.
Do you know who he is? No. I was gonna look him up. He was the prince in the live action Cinderella movie that you and, Emery did not like. Okay.
I don't know this person. That's not who I he's not even blonde. He is. When you bleach his hair and put a wig on him, he'll be fine. Listen.
They've not announced Skeletor. They have not announced a lot of the other characters. Are there any other characters? Yeah. They just announced have that wizard person.
Right? Yeah. They'll get there, I'm sure. They just announced that Allison Brie will be Evelyn, who is Skeletor's kind of sidekick y lady. And then, Camila Mendez will be Teela.
Those are the 3 cast members that they have announced. Wait. Wait. Wait. I don't know much about He Man.
So Okay. You don't need to. It's fine. What's who's Alison Brie's character? Evelyn.
Evelyn? Yeah. Okay. So I've been reading this article this morning because I was trying to get my my, my feet under me about this a little bit. Okay.
This is a universe where a man rides a giant green tiger into battle while a guy named Fisto punches things because he has a big metal fist. This is what we're turning into a live action movie. This is This was a story written by a 5 year old kid. Right. What am I gonna call the guy who punches stuff?
He's got a big metal hand. Fisto. Yeah. Like, this is wild. Right?
This is written by somebody with a crazy imagination. Correct. So Adam of Eternia has to transform into He Man. What? Yeah.
It it's a whole thing. K. So but he has to do that. Yeah. Adam of Eternia has to transform into He Man before he can actually get anything done.
So somebody was playing around with what could be a similar plot line that would be empowering, that would give you the same feelings the Barbie movie gave you. And this is what they came up with, and I think this is hilarious. Maybe Adam and Cringer, which is, the Space Tiger Battle Cat when he's not big and green, can emerge as the true heroes of masters of the universe, gaining the keys to the cosmos via a balanced view of gender politics and deep understanding of the nuances of feminine strength and leadership rather than just smashing Skeletor's skull with a sword. Okay. Okay.
Maybe. Just maybe they can go you know what? You're more than just he man. You're just Adam of Eternia, and that's enough. I did not watch He Man growing up.
I don't know much about it. I know that they came out with a a new animated series Yes. Not too long ago, and you watched it at your cousin's house Correct. In his big theater. Theater.
Uh-huh. And I was completely bored. Well What I just learned is that Skeletor Yeah. Is He Man's uncle. Did you know that?
Spoiler alert. I was just He Man? Comes out in 2026. Are they gonna do a She Ra version? We'll have to wait and see.
We've been hoping to go to the new Beetlejuice movie. I want to. It's out as of last night. Early box office number is $12,000,000, which is it's that's okay. That's good.
Read the review, but I heard that it's not getting great reviews, which I don't pay attention to anyway because I just I'll make up my own thoughts on the movie. Thanks. You should. I should. And critics don't know what they're talking about.
And also, Catherine O'Hara, Michael Keaton? Yeah? Yes, please. Let's see. I'm just trying to look and see what are some of the things people are saying.
What are they saying? I don't know. Pre Friday money is not far off. I told you it was $12,000,000 in Wednesday Thursday night previews Okay. Which is a very good number.
K. The pre Friday, so up to today, because a lot of people go to it today and through the weekend. Yes. In 2017, when IT came out, the the the new IT, it brought in 13 and a half $1,000,000 in pre Friday numbers. So it's not bad, actually.
Pre Friday. Yeah. What do they mean by that? So it it go it comes out like special release on Wednesday, and then they'll do, like, Thursday night premieres. Oh.
But there's all they only do, like, a select showing, and, usually, it's in larger cities. If there is, like, mass theater openings on a Thursday night, they'll be less attended just because it's gonna be die hards that are gonna go because they wanna see it. Unless it's something like, you know, the Hunger Games or Sure. Twilight where people are, like, invested. Yeah.
Correct. So so pre Friday money. Because a lot of people will go, hey. It's the weekend. Let's go check on a movie Friday, Saturday, whatever or something.
So pre Friday money, $12,000,000. I want some pre Friday money. Right. Wouldn't that be nice? Here's $12,000,000 because it's not yet Friday.
Yeah. Because it's Thursday just because. Let's get pre Friday money. So it chapter 2 then went on to only make 10 and a half 1000000 in its pre Friday money in 2019, 2 years later. So this is a big trend, for a big uptrend for Beetlejuice to be bringing in 12,000,000, when those numbers were, you know, substantially lower prior to this.
So, anyway, that's what we know at least up to this point. Mixed reviews from critics. I'm excited to see this. About critics? I know.
I'm excited to see it. I can't wait, and it's already making money. And, Beetlejuice is Beetlejuice. Do we need to watch the first one in preparation? No.
I don't think so. I've seen it enough. Yeah. I think you're I think it'll be fine. But I I really like Tim Burton.
I think, I'm so glad he's back doing it. I'm glad we've got Katherine. I'm glad we've got, your Batman again. What did you call him yesterday? Bat juice?
Beetle bat? He's back, which is great. Michael Douglas, as his name is now, officially. And Winona Ryder. Yeah.
And then we're adding in Jenna Ortega, which I think is great. She's awesome. She's Wednesday Adams right now. All good. All good things.
Yep. It's the right it's the right time. That's what we're doing this week. It's pre yeah. Let's go see the movie.
I'm ready. Can we just go now? Let's go watch her. Is it showing in, like, 2 minutes? Dude, wouldn't that be so cool?
We never go to a matinee in the middle of the week. I know. Let's do let's A Friday matinee? Yeah. Let's skip out on work.
Juana? Yeah. Beetlejuice time. K. I gotta go check it out for the show.
Work. I gotta go talk about it. I gotta talk about the Beetlejuice movie. It's still a little bit early. It's not even 9 yet.
I don't think the theater is ready for popcorn yet? I just don't think the theater is open. Oh, I'm always ready for popcorn. And jujubes, gross. Not those.
I'll never pick those. That's the worst movie candy. Let me look at, let me look at tickets real quick. 915. Let's go.
Yes. Let's go. Dude, let's do it. Skip out. Where's where have you been for 2 and a half hours?
None of your business. None of your business. So you've heard of the astronauts that are stuck in space. I have heard about them. Yeah.
The, they are they were sent up there by Boeing. I don't mean to laugh because that's scary. It's a silly thing. It's scary. Heard the latest on this thing?
What? So they were sent up there by Boeing. They were they're just 2 people Yes. Sent to the International Space Station. This was sort of a test flight to prove that commercial flight might be possible.
It's it's working toward this, that we would be able to send civilians into space. They were supposed to be up there for a number of days, hop back in the, pod, and return to Earth's surface. Yep. Something happened. The pod isn't returnable.
We they can't ride back in the pod. Because it was made by Boeing. Well, listen. And that's had a lot of problems. That's a bit it's a bit of a it's a bit of a another lump for, for for Boeing for sure.
Well and it's supposed to be heading home today, the Starliner ship, but there it's gonna have nobody on board because it's too busy. So they're gonna send the ship back without without somebody? Yes. Okay. Well, that's fine.
Do that. So the and they're going to bring the astronauts home in February. Correct. That's when SpaceX is gonna send their Dragon up. Dragon is the name of their space pod.
They're gonna send Dragon up to ISS, and then they'll ride back in Dragon. Okay. Dragon has been tested. Dragon works. That's all good.
What I'm now reading is that they want to construct an elevator No. Between Earth and space. Listen. They think they have the technology to do it, and all you need what do you always say you need? Your confidence and willing to try and a support system.
Right. That's what they're saying. Scientists are saying, we have the will to do it. All we need is the funding. Okay.
It's gonna be real expensive. Listen. No. That elevator is gonna be wild if it ever happens. They state the technology is there.
So it's not exactly an elevator. It's, like, a cable or a ribbon, perhaps, vertical railway with freight cars that move up and down on the stationary cable transporting payloads. Yeah. I have been stuck in an elevator before. Uh-huh.
It was not an elevator to space, but it was still terrifying. This this makes my guts hurt. I know. Like, I told you I have a thing with heights above probably 30 feet. This is way above 30 feet.
I don't like it. It's it would be the spool of ribbon would be, like, 22,000 miles Yeah. Above Earth. It's unreal. They would have to take the spool of ribbon up there.
Yeah. And then the spool would deploy downward by gravity and be anchored in the Pacific Pacific Ocean. Then they'd have to travel 60,000 miles in space, unspooling the rest of the ribbon as it goes. Dude. Dude, don't do this.
This sounds terrifying. So right now, the Boeing pod is making a weird noise. Oh, no. Have you heard about this? It sounds like it's emitting a sonar beep, and no one knows where it's coming from.
It's coming from the pod. The pod is picking up interference or a signal or something, but it's emitting a. But It's a it's a weird sound. But nobody knows why it's making that noise. Doesn't know.
The astronauts called down to Earth, and they were like, hey. Yo. It's making a noise. And and Boeing was like, yeah. Okay.
Thanks for letting us know. Good recording. We'll look into it. Boeing. We're never, like, get that shuttle out of space.
We need that back on Earth right away. Boeing probably needs to not make any more aircraft. I just don't have a lot of confidence to get them in. Yeah. That's the problem they're dealing with is a confidence issue.
But, anyway, yes, space cable, space trolley, space train, space elevator, whatever you wanna call it. It's not getting me on it. I'm not doing it. No. Me neither.
No way. I'm gonna take the elevator to space. Yeah. See you tomorrow. I'll take the escalator thing.
Why take an escalator when you can take a canoe? This is a kind of a a really cool thing. What is it? I'm gonna take you on a date. Finally.
Finally. I mean, it's for work. So it's it's a it's a Josh and Chantel date night. And from time to time, we get to do these where we get to go check out different, places to eat or have different kinds of experiences, and we get to share them with, the listening audience so that they can partake. And it's basically because we feel like, you and I, having been together for the 20 some odd years that we've been together, that it's important to continue to date and to try to impress one another and, and and it keeps that spark alive.
I try to impress you every day. How's it going? Not good. Oh, no. So, we have a date night tomorrow.
There is a place in downtown Idaho Falls called 18, and it is, it is sort of, I mean, it's a it's a Spirit Lounge. It's a I don't wanna call it a bar because that sort of has a weird connotation. And so I came up with Spirit Lounge. Yeah. You've heard of Speakeasies that existed during Prohibition.
Right? Uh-huh. So this is that kind of an atmosphere, but what's really cool is they have food, and they have mocktails, and they have all of these things that we're gonna get to try. And we're gonna I wanna get dressed up. We gotta get fancied up tomorrow.
I'll do it. And, and then we're gonna go check out, 18 in Downtown Idaho Falls, fancified. Yes. Yeah. I know they do like live music.
They have all kinds of cool stuff going on. And we had our Christmas party, our work Christmas party there last year, and the ambiance of that place is so cool. It's very, very cool. Very cool. It's it's life I mean, what?
And you're immediately like, oh, this is cool. Right. It's a it's very luxurious. It's, it's a cool space. Gosh.
I would even say perfect. It's very fancy. Here in Idaho Falls. I know. What?
So, so we're gonna go check this out. We're gonna have some food. We're gonna try out their mocktail menu, which I'm excited about, because that's fun. And, we'll just have a kind of a kickback kind of date night experience tomorrow, which I think will be a lot of fun. And then Monday, we'll get to tell you all about it.
So about the same time, we'll, share kinda the experience and what we saw. But but just so you know, like I like I said, it you get that, like, it's a bar thing, and you go, like, what? It's not. It's so much more. And they do business meetings.
They do private parties. They do Christmas parties. They do Christmas party there. Yeah. They do they they have catering available.
There's so many cool things that this place can do, for anybody. So we're gonna go, and check it out tomorrow, and then we'll tell you all about it Monday, but I'm excited. I'll tell you how cool it is. Well, Josh and Chantel date night Woo hoo. At 18.
Yeah. I'll feel like I'm 18 again. Alright. I think you have to be 21 to get in. Oh.
So 21 again at 18. But, anyway, we'll let you know all about it. It's a cool, cool spot, and I'm excited to go check it out with you fancified tomorrow. What am I gonna wear? I don't even know.
It's Josh and Shane's date night at 18. Cool. Keith Urban. Keith Urban. Keith Urban.
I'm Keith Urban. I'm Edna Nicole Kidman. Yeah. I'm from Australia. I'm Keith Urban.
Keith Urban. I'll never It always kills me. I'll never cut my hair. I'm keeping it. I'm Keith Urban.
He did cut his hair, though. Did he? I think so. Yeah. He went short with it.
Anyway, here's the thing that always makes me laugh about Keith Urban. Keith Urban? Yeah. Great country musician, Keith Urban. And then he, he's like, country radio stations will play, Keith Urban songs, or they'll have the the pieces of imaging between the songs.
It'll be like, hey, y'all. I'm I'm Toby Keith. And it'll be, God brooks. Whatever. There's all these voices, and it goes, and I'm Keith Urban.
Hey. Like, where'd you come from, Keith Urban? I play country music. Yeah. I got a guitar.
Anyway, Keith Evan, that guy. He complimented, quote, unquote Okay. Miley Cyrus. Oh, okay. He told her that her voice sounded like an ashtray.
Oh, no. Oh, no. And he said that that was a compliment. I don't know if I would take it as such. I mean, she's raspy.
Yeah. He he could've said she was rasp. I don't But then he also, I believe, added something about, some casino or club or something, carpet, that I tried to do some research on. And anytime I look at carpet for this club, it's just like, they're all over Australia. They're it's the grossest carpet you've ever seen.
He said he said, I love that voice. Man, that voice. She sounds like an ashtray, an ash tray, but I mean that as a compliment. Correct. She sounds like the carpet at the RSL, which is the casino.
Casino club thing. Yeah. So I don't know what to do with, with that as a compliment. I would not take that as a compliment. If he if somebody said that about me, I would I would I would not take that as a compliment.
Said, hey, Chantel. Your voice sounds like an ashtray. I'd say I Not even a clean one. I You know what you remind me of? A bowling alley in the eighties nineties.
You're really giving me that used shoe leather and that, you know, cigarette butt filled ashtray. I I really pick that up when you sing. Mhmm. You wouldn't think that was a compliment? No.
I sure wouldn't. Yeah. I don't think, Keith Urban was paying much of a compliment. Look. Maybe maybe that's in Australia, maybe that's a compliment.
Like, oh, yeah. You sound like an ashtray, and and they're like, that's a big deal. I don't know. I don't have, like, Miley's reaction to that compliment. So I don't know what she thought about it.
But I don't know. I mean, look. Keith Urban is a well known country musician. Right. Miley Cyrus is a well known, young Disney star turned into massive pop star, and she's got a voice.
Like, her voice is well defined. It's incredibly distinct, and, and I'm glad that she's out making her music her way doing her thing. She's definitely a powerhouse. I know her and her dad are having some issues. But what happened to Hannah Montana?
Have you ever seen the 2 of them in the same place? No. Something fish is going on there. Yep. I was trying to make an achy breaky heart joke here, and I just never got there Good.
Which is fine. We don't need that. Yeah. No. We don't.
But what a what a compliment. I thought Australians were supposed to be nice. Well, I don't know. I mean, I feel like that could be high praise compliment in Australia. I mean, look.
They they're known for doing shoeys, which is shoey. Oh, that's where they, take a shoe and they pour a drink in it and drink out it. Yeah. That's gross. Right.
So maybe a voice of an ashtray is, like, high, high praise. I think it is. Thanks, Keith Eben. Keith Eben. I, found the would you rather this or that question of the day for today.
Did? I did. Okay. So, I want you to imagine right now you, have in front of you a small toy box. K.
You open up the toy box, and inside are two things. Oh, how old am I? Right now. Okay. You open up the toy box, and inside are 2 items.
Uh-huh. Well, there's maybe 2 bags. Let's call it bags. K. In one bag, in bag a, Play Doh and a whole bunch of different Play Doh making factory stuff.
K. In the other one, a big bag of Lego. Would you rather play with the Play Doh or the Lego? Lego. Interesting.
Why? Because I feel like there's more to do with LEGO. I'm listening. I well, first of all, I never got Lego when I was a kid. Okay.
My brother always got Lego, but I always wanted to play with his Lego. And, yes, that is the correct way to say the plural for Lego. Yeah. Yes. That is.
Yes. That was, pretty snooty of you. I would always have to sneak Yeah. Playing with his Lego. Okay.
And then I But you had access to Play Doh at the time? Well, not necessarily. I mean, I did, but Play Doh's not I mean, it's about it's fun for about 5 minutes, and then I'm done. And I always made the same thing. Here's my bird nest with eggs in it.
That's what I made every time because that's all I knew how to make. Roll a snake and then make a bowl? Yep. And then you'd roll little balls and put them in there and go, it's a bird nest with eggs. Yep.
Wow. But you also I said you do have the factory stuff. Play Doh pizza, or you could bored with that. You could make hair. I get too bored with Play Doh, so I'm going Lego.
Because there's people, you can create scenarios, you can build anything you wanna build. You could build a house. You could build a car. You could build a city. Look.
The fact that you chose to make a bird's nest out of Play Doh every time you got Play Doh in your hand is your own creativity limit. I know. You did that to self. I know. You could build a Play Doh dog or a Play Doh I know.
But whatever you want. Meh. Okay. Lego. What are you picking?
Oh, I'm picking Lego. Yeah. Because it's more fun. Wake up classy 97 with Josh and Chantel. You mentioned, like, the very first thing we talk about are days of the day.
Like, the Yeah. What are they? Special days. Days of the year. It's because every day, they decided, whoever they are, decided that we should have something going on every day.
So, like, today is National Lazy Moms Day. Do you know what tomorrow is? No. It's feel the love day. Oh.
It's also superhuman day. It's also beard day, hummingbird day, bacon, salami. Time out. Time out. Many things.
Go back. So today is lazy mom's day. We touched on it briefly this morning. But if you did not know that it's lazy mom's day, let me tell you and the people in your life what you should do for your moms to give them a little bit of a break today. What is it?
Why can't it just be I'm lazy too day? Sunday is grandparents' day. Have your partner or kids take some of the chores on so that moms can relax. Yeah. Sunday is also hug your hound day.
Plan some activities. Order a nice meal. Encourage your mom to relax and watch a movie or plan some other rejuvenating activities for her, like a massage or a bubble bath? Hey. Did you know Sunday is also National Iguana Awareness Day?
Your mom rest. Give her some sleep. Give your mom a chance to catch up on some sleep. Yeah. Yeah.
It's, it's also national dog walker appreciation day on Sunday. Give your mom a break Mhmm. Today. Come on. Hey.
Sunday's national anpersand day. I'm not making that up. Anpersand gets its own day. Just as important as lazy mom. There's nothing more important than a lazy mom.
How are you gonna celebrate Anpersand Day? By being a lazy mom. That's Sunday. How is lazy mom, for me, in my life, lazy mom day isn't really that much different than a regular day? Because I feel anybody who steps into my house right now would look around and go, A lazy mom lives here.
I can tell just by looking. Go ahead. Open that fridge. Tell me what I'm gonna make for dinner. Mhmm.
Can't? Lazy mom day. That's right. Hey. Speaking of being lazy, the show's done.
We can go be lazy now. Let's do it. Yeah. Have a great Friday. Have a great weekend.
