Full show transcript:
Have you seen that thing that says, if you looked at your kids, would you, as a kid, think that your kids were the rich kids? I have seen that, and the answer is yes. Yeah. I would. I would I would look at our kids, and I would think that they they had wealth.
And not because we have wealth, because No. Look. I we're in radio. Spoiler alert. We're we're not wealthy.
But here's here's the thing. Our children are spoiled rotten, not really. Not rotten. I know. I know.
They they they definitely They have a much more privileged life than I ever do. I would I would say for sure. But I also think that, like, we have valued their personal styles and, desires and opinions on what they wear and how their hair looks and, like, those kinds of things and really let them express themselves. We haven't said, necessarily, no. You're going to wear this because it's it's what we can get or whatever.
Does that make sense? Like, what I'm trying to say is if they go like, I really want these Nikes that are really expensive, we'll find a deal Yeah. And we'll go, that's how we're gonna be able to make that happen. Or we're straight up gonna say, no. But let's find something else that's cool like these Chucks or these Vans or something else, but we're not gonna do these $300 shoes.
Yeah. Like like, I understand that's what you want, but, you know, that doesn't make sense. That's that is not a financial decision that's gonna work for us. And since we're paying for it, cool. You wanna get a job?
Go for it. But then you also have, like, places to shop now now that we never had. Like, you had, like, a couple of big box stores to shop in. Now you have a bunch of different places, and it's not necessarily about brand all the time as much as it is about a style or a look. Mhmm.
And you can go to some of the consignment shops and different things like that and find things that fit the look you're going for that are not gonna cost you $80 for a shirt. You know what I'm saying? Mhmm. So that's what's up. That's what's up.
Now is not the same as it was in the nineties Yeah. Where everybody was wearing Joe boxer because they got it at Kmart on a blue light special. Kmart. That's where we always shop. That's what I'm saying.
That's what I'm saying. Well, they've had I mean, they flew in a plane flew in a plane much younger than I ever did. Right. They've been to New York. Right.
Here's the other thing. They still complain that they don't have enough stuff or enough life experiences, so they still complain. I'm like, you're a rich kid. Yeah. If I saw you You're you're a rich attitude that doesn't have the bank account to match.
Yeah. But you're right. I mean, they've had a trampoline. That was always a big thing. Like, who's got a trampoline?
They got money. Who's got, who's got a fire pit? They got money. Yeah. Who's got a trailer?
They got money. Yeah. You see? They don't have any of this stuff. You and I do because we work hard for this stuff, and then they go, like, it'd be cool to go somewhere.
I know. Why don't we ever go to Hawaii? Like, you kidding me? You know how much it costs to go to Hawaii? Get a job.
Yeah. Go get a job. Save up your money and go to Hawaii. Kids. Yeah.
You wanna start the show? Let's do it. Alright. Hey. Howdy.
Hi. Hey. How's it going? Oh, hey. What's up?
What's up with you? I don't know. Just sitting here. What's up, dog? Hey.
Funny you should say that. It's National Dog Day. You didn't even know. I did. You didn't even know.
Even know. Let's spoil the dog. No. Let's remind ourselves we have a dog. Oh, I know I have a dog.
Yeah. I don't need to be reminded. She reminds me every day. I'm sitting on the couch this morning. She comes up and just punches me.
I don't know why she does that. She's a fifteen pound Jack Russell. Her name is Luna the wonder Jack Russell, and she will do that. She will Paco punch you. She runs up, both hands, punch, and what are you doing?
I think it's her way of communicating. Yeah. But I don't I don't know what you're trying to say to me. She's trying to say, nice leg. Punch.
I think this morning, she was like, don't leave. Oh. I think that's what it was. Don't leave. Well, here we are.
Okay. Anyway, good morning. We're in the studio, so hi. Happy dog day. How much would you say you trust your phone?
As far as what? Oh, like, when if something is on your phone, do you click it? Like, if it like, we don't here's the deal. Here's what's going on. K?
People with iPhones, apparently, are more likely to get scammed. Oh. And I'm gonna say yeah. No. I know.
I know. Because we're Android people. And so anytime we can take a jab at the iPhone, we do. Only because iPhone people are so mean. I totally believe you.
I totally agree. Here's here's what it says, though. It says a lot of Apple users, trust their phone to to say everything that my phone tells me is is secure and accurate because of Apple's built in security. I'm invincible. And I've heard this from, oh, well, your phone gets a bunch of virus.
Dude, I haven't had a virus on my phone ever. Don't say that out loud because now you're gonna get one. No. I'm not. Because I know how to use my technology.
But there like, if you go to weird websites, like, you it's not the same as a computer where you download stuff. Like, you're not gonna get some weird Right. Java file that's gonna destroy your phone like you would if you were Java file. You know what I'm saying. Worst.
Well, you know. So so, anyway, there are antivirus apps for phones as well. And, Apple has all of this kind of built in security, so people skip antivirus apps, and they're more likely to to click on sketchy links without a second thought. There are text phishing schemes Oh. That come through Yeah.
Where people's like, you'll get a text that says it's from your bank that says, hey. You should send us $5,000,000 or $5,000 or whatever. There's a lady I saw online, just yesterday, and she was like, I'm trying to sort this out because my dad mailed $5,000 in cash Oh my gosh. To somebody. Mailed it.
Went to the bank, withdrew $5,000, and put it in the mail To somebody who did it now? Sent him a text and said that that's what he had to do for some reason. Oh. And and this is an older person. Right?
The like, she's she's our age, so she has, you know, a 60, 70 year old, parent or more Uh-huh. Who has an issue. So, anyway, it's a it's a whole thing. But iPhone users in particular trust their phone more than Android users, and I think that's an interesting statistic. I mean, you can only trust it as far as you can trust yourself, in my opinion.
I mean, you're still the user. You're still the one doing the clicking. Right. It's still a computer. It's not gonna be trustworthy all the time.
Right. And so if I get some weird text or some weird scam call, like, I know. Right? Like, I I don't it doesn't matter what phone I have. Like, I go, like, no.
Thank you. Delete. Yeah. I'll, block that number. Whatever.
Like, clearly, I like when I get a call from, this is Xfinity. And I go, I don't even know what that is. And it I don't think that Comcast. I'm like, that's not even in this area. What are you talking about?
I don't have Don't Comcast Xfinity. Don't know everybody. That's I know. Just hey. Heads up.
Don't click on stuff you don't know. Just good advice. It is good advice. Thank you. And thank you for sharing it.
Thank you for sharing it. Let's do some good news. There is a, home remodeling company in Greenville, North Carolina. They're called Westshore Home, and they enjoy a strong connection to the community. And they put that connection on display recently by donating over 9,000 school supplies Oh.
To a local grade school. Aw. Isn't that cool? Yes. The 47 employees at West Shore Homes spent the last couple of months collecting pencils and crayons and notebooks and a bunch of other school supplies, and then they made the items available to students and teachers of South Greenville Elementary just in time for the beginning of the school year yesterday.
One of the managers of the company named Jesse Sutton, he says that donations like this can be crucial for families with children in school and was thrilled that every employee stepped up to provide a little bit of relief for the family sending the kids to school for another important year of learning and growth. And look, I we, in years past, have done, like, a backpack giveaway with school supplies and stuff. Right. And we we do a backpack, pack, and we do a bunch of school supplies, and we've thrown in gift cards and different, different things like that. And and I'm gonna tell you, like, I know that, like, it's a lot, especially if you have multiple kids.
Yeah. We were putting together each backpack was valued at $50. They were stuffed with folders and paper and crayons and markers and pens, like, everything. I just kept throwing stuff in there. Gonna say that it was probably valued at more than $50.
No. They were they were literally $50, but they were, like, it was everything, and they were stuffed with $50 worth of stuff. I was impressed at how far $50 could go. But, again, if you have multiple kids in different grades, different requirements, and then you start tacking on stuff like, you know, school registration fees and Yeah. And activity cards and yearbooks.
Like, all that stuff. Lunches. Oh, yeah. All of it. Yeah.
It all adds up. So, this is a big deal, and I'm really excited to see people stepping up like that. So well done, Westshore Home. Some good news. That is good news.
Okay. Okay. There's, there's a guy online who has figured something out. Okay. He, goes on dating websites.
And he is catfishing as a woman. And he, goes specifically for guys that have pictures holding fish. He's in Oregon, and he catfishes them and talks to them and then, pretends to be super really into fishing and gets the guys to tell him their secret fishing spots. That's so sneaky. And then he goes fishing and doesn't ever talk to the dudes in camp.
Yeah. That's Is he that desperate for a fishing hold? I don't know if that's necessarily the case. So I saw this story. It it this guy's been on TikTok doing this for a long time, and his videos are great.
But this is this is literally what he does. He, will catfish guys for fishing spots and then make videos about it. That makes me kinda sad. Because these guys I mean No. Listen to me.
Alright. These lonely guys are probably just excited to find somebody that's shares their same hobby, and they're like, you like to fish? I like to fish. We should go fishing sometime. I love to fish.
I've never met a woman that likes to fish. Let's go fishing. Okay. And then they get ghosted. That's mean.
Alright. That's mean. So let me tell you Plain with emotions. He doesn't disclose the fishing spots to the public. It doesn't matter.
That's not just finding cool places to go fish. I have. Okay. His most popular video is day 34 of catfishing guys on Hinge to get their fishing spots. Oh.
Has 1,800,000 views. And what is interesting is that in all of his videos, he doesn't catch any fish. He just gets some bites here and there, whatever. And he he, like, has raided them. He's been like, yeah.
This guy has really good fishing spots, and this guy is like I guess, doing research. I mean, he's and he's you know? I don't know. Like, I get that I get what you're saying. There are these guys who are like, holy cow.
Yeah. Finally. I finally. But he's interested in me for one, and two shares the same hobby. Yeah.
And then they're like, well, I got ghosted. I would I would say this. If you're a fisherman who's on an app Mhmm. Looking for love Uh-huh. And there's a lady who's like, hey.
Well, maybe you could take me fishing. What's one of your favorite spots? I'd be like, yeah. I'll definitely do that. Don't tell her where it is.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Actually, let's go out to dinner, and we'll see if things work out. And if they do, let's absolutely go fishing. I would love to take you.
Because then you get you've got an opportunity for multiple dates. You've got an outing. You've got everything planned. You go, this is sweet. What a great idea.
Let's just meet first. Right? Like, be smart about it. Don't be a foolish individual. Don't get duped into giving away your fishing spots.
That makes me sad. Like, I I've developed a few, fishing spots. There's a few areas I like to go. And I would prefer to arrive there and not have other people in my spot. But I don't own it.
Right? It's not like, you know No. Everybody can where I could go. Yeah. Everybody can just roll up on you and say, ah, this is my fishing hole now.
Right. And it's I I always feel like it's a real special thing when somebody says, hey. Here's a really cool spot I'm gonna tell you about. And they don't necessarily say, don't go telling everybody about it. But they are very much like, hey.
Don't. Like, I know a spot in Montana now Yeah. That I was given very specific directions to get to, and I caught really nice fish there. Did. And I'm not telling anybody where that is because it's not anybody's business.
I know where it is. I'll tell somebody. Who wants to Quiet down. See? Can't take you anywhere.
One of my absolute favorite, video trends that is, happening right now, and I don't know if you've seen it in your algorithm yet, is, I'll call you back my grandma's calling. Have you seen this? So so all like, there's a song that's like I don't even know the words of the song. But it's like in the song, it says, I'll call you back. And people have turned it into, I'll call you back my grandma's calling.
Okay. And then they're sharing voice mails their grandma left. Oh. Okay. And it sounds real sweet, except it's grandma going, I screwed up the TV remote again.
You're gonna need to call me back. Like, it's so good. It's really, really funny. The point of it? To share how crazy grandma is.
It's nice. I mean, there's one that's, like, you know, hey, Matt. This is Cheryl, your grandma. Like like, I know. Cheryl, I got it.
Yeah. I think it's funny that she would say Cheryl. Why didn't she just say, it's grandma Cheryl. Right. Like, she was just leaving a message with with Louise.
Like, hey, Cheryl. It's Gam Gam. And then went, your grandma. It's super funny. We we left my mom in charge once of our house and our kids years and years and years ago.
Yeah. And when we came back, there was all kinds of stuff that was messed up. She put the sink, the dishwasher not the dishwasher, but the sink plug in upside down. Yeah. And it got stuck, got wedged in there.
I remember that. And she was like, I don't know how this works. I'm like, it's the what? How do you mess this up? The the kitchen with the, which first of all, she was doing dishes the old school way, and she plugged the drain, but, the food disposal thing I haven't even used it.
I know. I never used that. It's because I have a dishwasher. And and, yeah. It's got like, you grip it, and you just push it straight down, and then you can pull it right out.
Well, she had it upside down. It was upside down. I can't get it out. Do you think? She never ever knows how to work our TV Yeah.
Ever ever. No matter how time how many times we tell her, just push this button Right. And just push this button. Yeah. I I like when, people, like, will put a bunch of paper around the phone except for the around the remote except for a couple of buttons that you have to push.
That's what we need to do. This is all you need. Volume, power, and channel. And that's what we've told her to do before. She's like, I don't know what happened.
I just started pushing buttons. Yeah. Jeez. I tell you. Anyway, it's a great trend.
If you haven't seen it yet, you should you should, search it out. It's I'll call you back. My grandma's calling. It's it's really I mean, it's wholesome, and it's a lot of fun. And you get to hear grandmas on the phone leaving funny messages.
So you should check that out. Cheryl. Yeah. It's Cheryl, your grandma. Big day for our daughter today.
Big day. It is her first day of tenth grade. Man. She is a sophomore, and I I don't know how many times over the weekend I said, do you have everything you need? Like, we have plenty of opportunities to go to the store.
Do you have everything you need? Yep. So you were at the store last night? I was at the store at 09:00 last night. Uh-huh.
Because all of a sudden, we needed a bunch of stuff. Yeah. Lunch stuff? I'm I need some gum, mom. I wanna have some gum.
Mom, I want some lotion that I can carry around in my backpack so that I can have lotion in my backpack. Mom. Mom. Does she use lotion that much? Yep.

And then I said, well, where's your sandwich? And she goes, I'll make that in the morning. Right. She didn't want it to be soggy. Well, it's not gonna be soggy.
And I said, do you want me to just make it for you right now? Oh, if you don't mind. Oh, come on. Alright. You know, a thing that exists now that never existed and never even entered my mind is even a thing I should care about.
This squalology thing Yeah. Where you can you can log on and and see your classes and also who else is in there. Everyone who's in your class. Which that's crazy. Like, that was always like a, I hope we have some classes together.
And maybe you'd get your schedule early and you'd be able to, like, call your friends and be like, who what math class do you have? Yep. You know? But but this is this is crazy. You see every other person in the class.
Every person. Yeah. And she just go through the list with me yesterday going, hey. Awesome. Great.
Yep. This person's cool. Oh, that person's weird. Oh. Oh, that's an op.
Yeah. Oh, we got ops. We got ops. Okay. The only time I remember that happening is in grade school when they would post your class on the teacher's door.
Yeah. And then you could see who was in your class in grade school. But in high school, it was like, you didn't know who was in your class until you walked in and you went, you're in here. Guess I'm sitting clear over on this side of the room. Weirdo.
Well, anyway, that's, that's a big day. It's a big day. Big day for everybody who's starting school around here. There was freshmen and seventh graders that started yesterday. Yeah.
Just 23. 90 one's been back for a week. 90 been back. I know, there's still, a couple schools that haven't started and don't start until after Labor Day. So Really?
Oh, yeah. For sure. Like the Ducks? Yeah. But then you gotta go later.
That's true. That's true. That's true. You gotta go into June a ways. That's true.
That's true. Yeah. It is. Good luck to good luck to all the teachers. Yeah.
Can we can we, have a moment of silence for the summer ending for teachers? Like, I know that's a a a big deal. Here you go. Yeah. We Good luck.
Yeah. Good luck. Good luck to you. So you you are familiar with, Gen z slang middle school teacher, mister Lindsey? Yes.
Yeah. You've seen his videos. He's very good at explaining why things have gone viral Yes. And why things exist. Yes.
So I found out last night that six seven is dead. It's gone, which I'm not upset about because I'm a little tired of hearing it from from the youths. I didn't ever hear it. You never heard 67? Well, I heard 67 occasionally, but I wasn't tired of hearing it because I didn't hear it on a regular basis.
I see. Well, it's gone now. Oh, man. That's just getting into it. Were you?
Well, get ready for the new one. 41. 41. Yeah. Here's the deal.
There is a rapper named Blizzy Boy. That's right. And, in one of his songs, he says that he's 41, and he has 41 of everything. Yeah. 41 goals.
41 goals. That's right. Forty one forty one forty one. Yeah. So, now this song came out in 2021.
This is not new, but neither nothing on the Internet is new. But someone discovered it, and it's gone viral on TikTok, this 41 thing. And, so if the kids haven't dropped six seven yet and moved on to 41, it's coming. Yes. You're gonna hear it.
You're gonna go and us talking about it right now this early in the trend, maybe it'll squash it. I doubt it because it's it's going it's going worldwide. But wouldn't it be great if they were like, oh, those old people talked about it. Now we can't do it. About it.
Yeah. We can't. Whatever. '41 of nothing. We're so cool.
I know. I get it. Displaying. I got '41. Stop.
The '41 trend, is, you know, it it is what it is, '41 everything. So I always just wanna know who's the first person that sets the trend and is like, yeah, guys. We're doing this now. Somebody on TikTok. And then he you have to have some followers.
Sure. So you have to have somebody that's like, yeah. That's cool. That's cool. That's cool.
Yeah. And then you I mean, you have to have a couple of those people, and then everyone's like, yeah. Six seven's dead. Who told? Who made that decision?
Oh, time. Time takes them away. People be crazy. I know. Yeah.
Get ready for forty one. Forty one. There is a couple on, social media, and they have made, I don't wanna know. I don't I don't necessarily know what to say. They've made popularity, I guess.
Oh, okay. They've they've they've gone viral. They're well known. They've become popular. Yes.
They're they're okay. They have a growing following Yes. K? By, just playing games. It's just a husband and wife.
Me this here. And they just play games. Now when you say games, do you mean, like, board games? What kind of games are they playing? Just board games.
So they're playing, like, two player games? Do they do four player stuff? What what are they doing? I don't know. I haven't dived in that much.
I've just seen the two player games. So I don't know if that's all they're playing is two player games. But you feel like we missed our bubble. Yeah. I feel like yeah.
I'm always trying to look for, like, we could be the next big thing. Yeah. We could have been that next big thing, but we blew it. There's there's room enough in in the sphere for multiple people. Here's the thing, though.
They they probably have some sort of tie to a game shop or something, or they, like, buy a bunch of games. You've gotta make a bunch of those things, start to get a following, get noticed and stuff. And then board game companies are gonna reach out and go, hey, review our game. I know. Right.
And that's when they're gonna go, okay. Send us your game. And they get to keep it, and they get to have the game. I know. How many games do you want?
All of them. What? Why would we fair? Are we gonna store them? Well, we could give them away when we're done playing them.
That's fair. I like that idea. And say, hey, friends. Or even online. Like, you could win this game that we're playing.
Or them. Yeah. See? See? I think that's such a fun idea.
Okay. We missed it. We missed that boat. Well, think of another one. I can't I have no other ideas.
We have we have no other hobbies. There's nothing else we do that would be worth sharing. Like what? I don't know. That's what I'm asking.
I don't wanna say anything out loud because then we'll miss the bubble. I like to eat. Do you ever watch, like, people that have social media accounts like that, and you're like, oh, that's a good niche to have? Yeah. There's a few times.
Why do you think of that? And then I try to film stuff, and being a creator is hard. It is. And it's time consuming. Ton of work.
Like, people go time job. People go get a real job. I'm like, dude, if you are a content creator and you're successful, like, you may not like the content somebody's making, but the amount of time and effort that goes into making content is insane. And coming up with different ideas all the time. Insane.
And even even people that are just a talking head, that just film themselves in their car talking, to have a thought and a and a conversation that is captivating and storytelling and all that stuff, like, that's what I do and you do here on the show. We aren't, like, constantly, like, phone camera in our face trying to do it. Like, there's there's something about, like, hey. I'm a I'm gonna shut this off at the end of the show. Yeah.
And then I'm gonna go do other stuff. But but these folks are creating dozens of videos every day just talking head. But also It's crazy. There's the people out there like, my sister watches somebody. She says it's soothing to watch this woman who lives in India.
Uh-huh. And she goes and gets her now I can't remember. You know, the little, they're, like, four little pans and stuff. Like, they're, like, little pots. They're not pots.
It's just like a metal it's, like, stacked. Okay. And then on the top one is, like, your naan, and then you've got your curry. It's just your it's just your Indian food meal. Yeah.
It's like, it's like the Indian equivalent of a bento. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
But I can't it has a name, and I can't think of the name. Sure. Anyway, that's all she does. She just orders her food, and then she just shows herself taking her pot pots down and being like, what's in this one? Oh, more naan.
What's in this one? Oh, curry again. Yeah. What's in this one? Interesting.
And then my sister's like, it's just so relaxing. Oh my god. Okay. We missed the boat. Imagine.
On eating food. I would eat Indian food every day just for content. But all you have to do is is ASMR it. Like, you don't even have to talk. Yeah.
Like, you just have that, like, chest mount GoPro, and, and you just film yourself at a restaurant when they bring you the food. Yeah. You don't have to talk. You just, like then you reveal the food. That's easy.
There's a guy who does that with, like, the ramen stores and stuff in Japan. And he'll just walk in, and you watch him make his ramen. Pretty exciting stuff. We just need an idea. It's one idea.
Here it is. This is a it's day in the life, real world stuff. That's why people like it. It's it's different. I know.
It's so funny, isn't it? It is. There's a whole bunch of new foods that we might wanna consider trying, and maybe this is our way to get viral, if that's something you really want. I don't necessarily know if I do. Fast fast food chains, all across the area are, vying for business, and, discount menus and combo meals and stuff are nice.
But there's restaurants that are trying to bring you in with new trendy menu items. So Wendy's Girl Scout thin mint frosty on the list. We had those before. I know. It was good.
And it's way good. Time out. So I think they're bringing it back. Have you tried they're doing Wendy's is doing a Wednesday meal? No.
I have not. It's in an ink Because you get mystery sauces. I don't know about that. But what I do know is they have, like, a blood red, frosty. I think that's what it's called.
K. Oh my. Did you try it? Yeah. When?
Oh, I'd try I tried it twice this week. Are you serious? Well This last week Yeah. Or over the weekend? Over the weekend.
What? You were camping for one. I took You know what would be nice? I took Frosty. Emory and her friend out to dinner.
Yeah. And they said, are you gonna order anything? And I said, no. I'm not hungry. And I said, but wait.
But wait. Let me try that frosty. And it was And it was so good that I went back the next day and went What? Let me try that again. Just by yourself?
Yes. That is so cool. Nobody around. Everybody was gone. You were gone.
Beck was gone. Emery was working. Oh. I went by myself. Even believe it.
Oh, that that frosty, I looked online to see when it was gonna go away because it's so good. It's so good. It's like at a black cherry, start. Do I will I like that? It's so good, dude.
I know It did. It did. I know you think black cherry tastes like cough syrup, but it is so good. Now I got a chocolate one the first time with the syrup and then vanilla one the second time, and I like the chocolate one better. Okay.
Good to know. It's so good. I didn't have that on my list. But, apparently, the Girl Scout Thin Mint Frosty is coming back, so there's that to look forward to because I do like that. But I actually feel like I like the blood red one better than the Girl Scout one.
Okay. Good to know. Oh, man. KFC has a Nashville hot loaded fry bowl. I'm interested in that kinda sorta, and I'm not a big KFC guy.
Taco Bell steak garlic nacho fries. Oh. Like I said, that's fair food right there. Just put a bunch of words together. Burger King how to train your dragon meal, which has the whopper on the red orange bun with spicy mozzarella fries, strawberry lemonade I've seen this.
Viking themed sundae. Right? That's a thing. Yep. And then a couple places we don't have.
I wish we still had a Popeye's. I really do like Popeye's. Popeye's. But they have a pickle glazed chicken sandwich. And then Shake Shack has done some fried pickles, which I think what I I would like to try because I like those.
You don't like fried pickles at all? No. I think they're delicious. Nope. Okay.
Well, so those are oh, maybe they're not bringing it back. Now that I'm looking at this, these are things through 2025 that, that have been rated as the best little, like, one off fast food items. So the Wendy's Girl Scout Thin Mint Frosty was was added to the list of the best of the year. So maybe it's not coming back, but they should. But these are all things that No.
Just just Wednesday frosty. Oh, god. I bet it is. Wonder what that's like. Thanks for sharing.
Go get one. Yeah. Okay. I saw this yesterday. Since we've just been talking about food and Internet, I'll show, might as well keep going.
I saw this online yesterday. Although we are still a couple of months away from Halloween, Halloween themed Oreo cookies are gonna hit the shelves real soon. It's a limited edition Oreo with two layers of cream in bright green and orange sandwiched between classic chocolate cookies. I think they've just colored it. I think it's just a regular Oreo with colored stoof.
That's what it sounds like. Sounds like it. Yeah. They have Halloween themed designs like vampires, cats, bubbling cauldrons, and you can get them at Walmart and Target while supplies last. They may be there already.
Spooky Oreos. Spooky. Yep. I saw this story, and I went, okay. And they're also doing them in a bag, which I think is interesting.
Are are Oreo gonna go away from the from the sleeve thing and go to just bags? What? Yeah. Why? They I don't know.
Maybe it's less waste because you don't have that plastic insert and the packaging. You just have a bag. I don't know if I like that. And you get then you're just gonna get crumbles. They're gonna get all crumbly.
45. Oh, these are individual? 45 glow in the dark one cookie packs inside. Oh, I see what they're doing. They're saying give this out for Halloween.
That's what they're doing. That's why they did it in a bag like that. Here's your one Oreo cookie in a glow in the dark package. Anyway I don't spooky colored I care less about the glow in the dark package. Give me give me two Oreos and a non glow in the dark package.
Okay. If that's what it I mean, if you can't have both But why didn't they call it Stuf? They call it instead spooky colored cream, c r e m e. What's with them spelling stuff weird? Creme.
Because it's not actually cream. I don't know. Same great taste, spooky colored creme. Creme. Yeah.
Crema. Yeah. Well, it's this it's just a Oreo with colored stew. What time is it? Four minutes after nine.
I've already cried twice today. This is correct. I was gonna ask if you wanted to talk about this because, here's the deal. Earlier today, we came in and we worked on the show a whole bunch, and then, it is our daughter's first day of school. And, last year, we we didn't get a chance to leave and go, take her to school.
And so this year, you really wanted to make that happen. Yeah. Well and that's kind of been our tradition is that you take them on the first day and pick them up on the last day. Like, those are Right. Like, you do those things.
And I don't know why we missed it last year. I we must have had something important going on, that we couldn't. So more important. I understand, but I don't know. It was a work thing.
I'm sure. There was something going on that we weren't able to, to to be able to make it happen. But to so today, we said, alright. Let's make it happen. Let's so I went home.
I made breakfast. I, you know, did all that stuff, and then you helped her get ready. And then off she goes to, the first day of school. Took the picture. Last year, she had to take the picture by herself I know.
Which you you she did a great job, and you watched. I remember, you watched on the security camera stuff to to see her do it, and you're like, she's so cute and all that stuff, which which is awesome. But, it's way better to do it in person, so that's where we're at. But then we dropped her off at school, and she's walking up to the building. And you're crying.
And I got a little teary. It's always sad. I don't know. Because you just hope the best, and you hope that everybody is nice, and you hope that everybody has a friend. Right.
You just want everybody to have a friend. Right? Everybody be nice. That's what you said as she's walking away. She said, everybody be nice to my baby.
Well, not just to my baby, but be nice to everybody. Everybody. To all the babies. Because somebody there is somebody's baby. That's right.
Be nice. There were teachers and the vice principal outside Right. Doing some hand claps and high fives. You're going welcome back. Welcome back.
Welcome back. Yeah. Thought that was totally cringe. I said but then she saw a teacher she liked and was like, oh, yay. So as cringe as she thinks it is, she's excited about it.
It's cool. Yeah. I do too. I would be definitely one of those teachers. I don't know if I could be the teacher.
Like, there are some ex extraordinary teachers that have individual handshakes with every student and stuff. I don't know if I could be, like, that committed to it. I maybe I could. It's just that's a lot of dedication Mhmm. To learn them and remember them.
And, I mean, it's hard to remember every single kid's name. Right. It's it's tough. So So that was Anyway That was the first time I cried. No.
That was the second time I cried. The first time I cried, he showed me a a new a a new little bluey, video. Yeah. And you you weren't doing so great after that. It was super sweet.
It was sweet. Apparently, there's new bluey episodes coming next year. Bluey gets me every time. I know. It's great.
Bluey is awesome. If you're not following Bluey, you're missing out on some life. I'm telling you. There's good stuff in Bluey. It is.
It makes you feel really good. Mhmm. Okay. So everybody just be nice to everybody. And quit making Chantel cry.
Somebody everyone is somebody's baby. That's Listen to you. Is that gonna make you cry? Think about that? Kinda.
I get it. I get it. I just and I'm not trying to make fun. I'm just trying to understand where you're at today. It's a big day.
It is a big day. I'm cool. I'm cool. It's good. Look at the lights.
Look at the lights. Alright. I'll let you have your do you need a tissue? I got some. Okay.
Good deal. Good deal. You're on one. You're on one. Alright.
What's up? We had some hornet's nests in our house. This is true. Nest. We had we had a couple in the backyard.
And, over the weekend, picked up some, wasp spray so that I could handle that. And by the time I got done running errands and stuff, it was too warm, and they were already out and about doing their thing. Because I did get an early start on the day, but I didn't get a chance to really get in there and take care of it. And so, I had to wait until the evening time. This was Sunday evening Yeah.
When I could finally get out there and do some spraying. So, did that, and then, you know, I was excited. Things had things had been kinda sprayed down. And then, after work yesterday, got home, went to see what had what had transpired, what had taken place. Is everybody, you know, done?
Are we good with the wasp thing? We have three nests, two kinda small ones, and one that was pretty decent sized. And, and, the one little one was, was empty. The other little one still had two wasps on it, so that got another spray. And then the big one had, like, a dozen wasps still on it.
After you had sprayed it? Yes. So I sprayed again, the little one and the big one again, and the big one finally had no no wasps on it. So then it was decided, that we were gonna knock down the wasp nest and get them out of the yard so that the wasps wouldn't try to continue to to build those nests. So got the shovel, knocked them down, and dealt with them.
And then you got home, and then you were really excited to go check out the wasp nest that didn't exist anymore, and you're very cranky about it. I was just sad about it because I like to look at it. And you would had it all cleaned up and swept up. Yeah. You you would I cleaned it up because that was the task.
And then you were upset because I didn't let you look at it. I wanted to look at it. Do you want me to go get it? Where did you put it? In the field.
Yeah. I got it out of the yard, and I went, yeet. And it so it's in the field behind the house somewhere. I can't go look at it now. You can.
We just gotta go find it in the field. It didn't go far. It's they're not, like, heavy. I just you sprayed when it was dark outside, and I kinda like this sounds really morbid, but I kinda like to watch. I understand.
I get what you're saying. It I don't. I don't like, like, if if they were mic'd up and had a different, vocal range, I don't know if they would sound like they're having a great time. It's and it's actually kinda sad. I do feel a little bit bad because then I go, I'm sorry.
This is really sad. And so I watched for a minute, and then I had to go away because then I felt sad. That's what I'm saying. But I also wanted to see how many had fallen. And I also like to look at the nest because the nest is fascinating.
It is fascinating. I understand. I I really do get it, and I'm sorry that I took care of it before you got home and so you didn't get a chance to, you know, really check it out. I just wish you woulda asked. What?
Do you want? Do you Hey. I'm taking care of this. Do you wanna see it? I'll like, I'm mowing the lawn.
Hey. I'm gonna throw away these grass clippings. You wanna see it? No. I don't care about that.
That's what I mean. I'm just doing the job. I It's the same. I'm taking care of the task. I'm not gonna stop and go, hey.
I gotta empty all the, ash out of the fire pit. You wanna see it? No. That's different. That's not science.
It's not cool. You wanna see the science stuff? Well Yep. I got a compost going. There's some science happening.
You wanna go see it? Yeah. I look at that. I like to see it how it breaks down every day. I actually do like to look at that.
Okay. It's cool. Science is cool. Science is cool. Science is very cool.
Just keep saying that. I'll be better about letting you know when When science stuff is stuff is happening. K. Thanks. Yeah.
You're welcome. You're welcome. Don't you forget I do nice things. Like, make sure that you, get to look at the wasps. I'll be better about it.
I'll ask next time. Hey. You wanna see this? Come look at this. Yeah.
I do. Thanks. Okay. Got it. Hey.
Would you rather this or that? Would you rather have a bad haircut right before school pictures or trip in the middle of the busy lunchroom and have your lunch spill all over the floor? Bad haircut. Yeah. Same.
Same. Because there will be a retake day. Yeah. And, also, I've had a bad haircut on picture day before. Had?
Yeah. Yeah. Why are you saying that? I'm just trying to convince you that you have one now. That's all.
I know. Past tense? Like, you still don't? Like, it got better? I'm kidding.
Of course. It's been a long time since I've got my friends back. No. Are you nuts? Bangs.
The big curled over bang, and then that rounded end bob thing. Look. I got a perm when I was 12 when my sister got married. Uh-huh. I've seen that Yeah.
In pictures and video. And I had bangs then, and so I permed my bangs. Cute. It was cute. Look.
Do it again. Do the perm. No. It fried my hair. Yeah.
Yeah. It was not a good one. Time you go to your hairdresser, be like, I'm I'm gonna do a perm. Okay. I wanna go, what?
A perm and bangs. You can say I want I want bangs. I want curtain bangs and a perm. Curtain bangs are in, though. Not with a perm.
The two shall not meet. What was the worst haircut you ever had? Worst haircut I ever had. Well, I did, shave my head in the ninth grade. Oh, no.
No. Not like razor shaved it. Like, I buzzed it off. And so my ninth grade photo, I have one what would become my future haircut. I think ninth grade was my bad my worst haircut too.
No. Sixth. Sixth grade. Care for my fifth grade photo. Nobody looks good in fifth and sixth grade photos.
Bad one. This is a bad year for everyone. The kids think I had a mullet. I never had a mullet. I did have a flat top for a while because it was very into the like, I would go to the barber, and they would say, what do you want?
I'd go, I want the spike. Give me a spike haircut. So I really like to have it cut short and then flat, and then I would put gel in it to spike it up. Cool. I liked having a spike haircut.
I never had a mullet even though the kids are like, no. I've seen a picture. And I'm like, no. I just needed a haircut. I didn't have a mullet.
And that was a that was a kid who needed to go get a haircut. I never had short sides and the whole waterfall down the back with the whatever up front. I never had that. It looked a little molledy. I'm not gonna lie.
Just looked overgrown. Well, you needed a parent that was gonna take you to the haircut. Where were your parents? Bad parenting. Shame.
They're doing other stuff. I don't know. Not taking care of their kids. How could you? Yeah.
Well, there is there is a series of photos, with my sister and I. This is one of the worst haircuts I've ever had. It is like a mom haircut. And I don't mean it's a haircut that a mom gives a kid. I mean, it's a mom would wear that haircut.
A mom from the nineties. It's awful. Yeah. That is probably the worst Olin Mills photo shoot Agree. I've ever had in my life.
Awful. And my sister and I are in matching Garfield shirts. Cool. Oh, yeah. Only the coolest.
With the splatter paint backdrop. You know the ones. I do know the ones. It's cool. I despise that haircut.
That's the worst haircut I've ever had in my whole life. Whatever that is It is. If anyone ever comes at me with a brush, that's what you're gonna get is that hairdo. It's horrifying. What do you mean if ever anybody comes to you with a brush?
Normally, you would use a comb. Not that day. That day, it was, let's tease it up with a brush. Look at you. Look like Martha, whoever she is.
That was a terrible haircut. Top notch worst haircut. It was bad. You're right. Which who rather this or that?
I've got to tell you about this really cool thing I just found out about. And I love this, and I wanna see more of this across the state. What is it? There is a, a group in Boise called the Boise Bicycle Project. And, what they do is they collect old bikes and they pass them on.
They've, over the years distributed over 30,000 bikes with many of those going to the kids in the community. And along the way, they've identified a major need. Boise needs a safe spot for kids to learn and practice riding their bikes while they, fight for safer street continues. They've had many tragic accidents in Boise. Boise is a very cycle cyclist friendly city Uh-huh.
And has been for a very, very long time. And they, like, they have a lot of different paths and different ways for people to get around on bicycle in the city. Okay. They have just opened up the very first traffic garden. So when you were a kid and you were pretending that your driveway was a drive through Uh-huh.
And you had roads and things Yes. They have painted the park, the garden with all the traffic signals, roundabouts, all the stuff you will encounter in real traffic, but for bikes and for kids to ride and learn, all about how the traffic works and how to stop and where does like, how do crosswalks work, how do roundabouts work, look to your left, yield, all that stuff. That is my little kid drink come true. No. You gotta look it up.
So, actually, let me send you this. I will send you, this video real quick. I can go ride my bike there right now. And, and there you go. So I just sent it to you on on Facebook.
But, anyway, you can see they've got, like, an aerial shot here, of of people using the roundabout and going where they've got railroad crossings, and they've got, I mean, all the things that you would encounter, in in traffic they've built into this bike park, and I think it's so cool. That is very cool. Now I did just see one kid run a stoplight. Oh. So it it was dangerous because another kid almost t boned him coming down the road.
So, you know, on par for traffic, that's how things go. But That's so cool. Super, super neat. Isn't it cool? Yes.
Yeah. I love that. Yeah. Very cool. Very fun.
My oh, man. If I had that when I was a kid Yep. I would never leave. And, look, I mean, honestly, what we're what we're doing here is teaching how this stuff works at such a young age that then when you do get behind the wheel of a car or if you're cycling in traffic, you're gonna have an understanding of both of those things before you, you know, be instilled in you as a like a kid Yep. Riding your bike.
That's so cool. Look at they have little you can just park your bike right there. I know. That's so cool. Yeah.
So it's called, it's called the Traffic Garden, which is really cool, and I wanna see more of those. So whoever's in charge of making that happen, make it happen. It's really cool. That is cool. Just a stretch of of, you know, the green belt, at Ann Morrison Park in Boise where they've done it.
And it's super easy. Like, it's just a section where they've added in little lanes and parking spots and roundabouts and crosswalks and railroad and whatever just so that you actually have a chance to kinda learn about how those things work. Is there an age limit? I mean, it's just along the trail you're gonna be riding on. So if you decide to do the roundabout as you're out there riding, go So adults can do it?
Yep. Yep. Sure. Why not? Yeah.
Double lane roundabout, stops, crosswalk and bus lane, railroad tracks, bike parking. It's got it all. That's cool. And then they added in, like, a snake course and a a way for you to learn how to stop quick and put your foot down, and then what they call the ring of doom. And you ride each circle working your way down to the smallest, which is a real tight turn so you can really work on your balance and stuff.
It's a cool thing. I think it's really neat. So That is very cool. Anyway, I would like to see that in East Idaho, please. Somebody make that happen.
It's very cool. That's gonna do it for the show. We're done. Hooray. Happy Tuesday, everybody.
