This is wake up classy 97, the podcast. A replay of today's full show in about an hour. It's Tuesday, December 3rd. Today on the show, give your favorite cough a great big hug. That's a weird thing to say.
Kick it out. Yeah. Okay. Bye bye. Bye.
You gots to go. Grandma got run over by a reindeer or Bambi on ice. Yeah. So we didn't know what to call that particular part of the show. You called it grandma got run over by a reindeer, but they weren't caribou.
They were deer Oh. Like Bambi. Jeez. But, also, they're all legs like Bambi on ice. Yeah.
So which then you thought was an ice skating thing. Anyway, listen to the show. Is it tacky to decorate for Christmas like it's the nineties? No. It's the nineties.
It is tacky, and that's the best kind. Josh's McRib experience wasn't the best, and it's not because it involves a McRib. Which is what you would think. You would think it's because it's a McRib, but the McRib was even delicious even though it was not The best. The the best.
You know. What's the name of that bad holiday baking show we watch? Still don't know. Is a cold shower good for a fever? I don't know.
It's an old wives' tale. I didn't think it was. I knew it wasn't. You made me do it. Don't tell me me how to eat my pudding.
Okay. Hold on. Can we go back to the cold shower thing? Sure. Because I forgot I was gonna make a little women joke in there, but I it doesn't matter.
Just listen to the show. Oh, and about your pudding? Yeah. No. Tell me how to eat it.
That's fine. If you ring our doorbell, I'm gonna be holding the dog in the kitchen. Don't expect me to come say hi. Even if no one else is there, just probably just walk in because she'll be in the kitchen holding the dog. Yeah.
Yeah. Hiding. There was a real time realization of fantasy football outcomes on the show today, and I am upset. You are upset? I was gonna say mad, but I like upset better.
Mupset. Like a muffet when they're mad. Mupset. I like extra upset. Okay.
Mupset. And just how much Christmas is too much Christmas? We're getting close to that line. Not even. Yeah.

Tuesday. How are you feeling? Tuesday. Tuesday. Tuesday.
I feel okay. Why? How are you feeling? Nasally. Yeah?
Yeah. I feel that. Do you? I got some nasal happening. I still am clinging onto this cough.
Yeah. I love it so much. I've I've kind of lost my cough, which I'm grateful for, but for some reason, I just can't shake the nasally stuff. It's a it's a long process apparently. We're so cool, you and me.
Did this start? A week ago today? Mine started on yeah. Monday night. Yeah.
A week ago. Yep. You've been dealing with it for a week. Yes. I'm a couple of days behind you, but I've lost my cough, which is good.
I'm I'm very grateful for that. I'm hugging onto mine. I love it so much. It's here to stay. Quit it.
It is let's hug day. So hug your cough. Uh-huh. All hugs. Is it really hug day?
It is let's hug day. Let's hug. Let's hug day. I could use a hug. What are the benefits of hugging?
It releases endorphins. Yes. It makes you feel nice. It makes you feel loved. It makes you feel appreciated.
K. It's a nice way to tell people that you love them and care about them. Yeah. That's more of that love. It feels protective.
Okay. It feels, that's about all I got. It lowers stress. Okay. It boosts happiness.
Okay. And it can strengthen bonds Hey. In addition to showing love and appreciation. Let's strengthen a bond. Yeah.
You and your cough, hug it out. No. You and me. I'm I'm nervous the cough will come back if I hug you. You're so rude.
No. Not really. They missed the boat on this one. It's green bean casserole day. They did miss the boat.
The gravy boat? I missed green bean casserole this year. No. I didn't miss it. I did.
No. I like green bean casserole. I like green beans. And that's it. That's because you have a terrible palate.
No. As we've discussed, I have quite the mature palate. Anyway, good morning. It is Josh and Chantel on, Tuesday. Tuesday.
There was a turkey trot in upstate New York I've, on Thanksgiving? I've worked at those. I've never run one, and I've thought it probably is about time that I commit myself for real to, to running a 5 k. And that's a fine one to to choose because, it's in November. It works out really good.
Your daughter, because she's a runner, I know that she would be happy to go with you to do that. I totally agree. And and I don't know. Like, there are people that are straight up, like, I'm just gonna go run it. I'm just gonna I don't train.
I'm just gonna show up. I'm gonna go run this 5 k. And then there are, like, real serious runners that are, like, doing it too. I think I could muster my way through 3.2 miles. Yeah?
Yeah. I can't. If it was, if it was just jogging, if it was a jog walk. Now I'd like to be in better physical, endurance mode so that I could actually just run the whole thing. So maybe I'll get You can try it.
Ambitious and You've got a year. I'm that's what I'm saying. It it feels like a in November is a good time. Do it. I'm here to support you.
All you need is the confidence to try. Sure. A support system. Yeah. And what's the third thing?
Well, you kinda combine the first two. Oh. You have a willingness to try. Oh. Little bit of confidence and a support system.
Okay. You've got all 3. Look at you. I gotta work on that willingness to try part. That's that's the weak link.
Okay. What I'm gonna tell you about this turkey trot in New York is that a bunch of deer came charging through and I saw a video of that. So grandma literally got run over by a reindeer. Come on. There was a deer who did, like, plow into a whole there was, like, a group of 3 people.
There were, like, 3 deer that just ran across the road in the middle of the race and trampled a couple of people. I wouldn't say trampled. They got hit by a deer jumping across the road. But not trampled. The deer ran into them.
Yes. But they if you say trample, I think somebody's stomping on you. No. The deer kinda, like, bumped into them, knocked 2 of them over, and then took off. Did you see the video?
I'm watching it right now. Crazy. No trampling. Deer are a little chaotic when they find themselves in a situation they're not prepared for. Yeah.
And they're all legs. Yes. So trampling is not a far fetched from what's happening. You've seen Bambi on ice. It looks like that.
Bambi on ice? Have I seen bam oh, in the movie. Not like Disney on ice. No. I'm talking about Bambi on in a frozen lake.
Pond. Yeah. Slipping all over. They just do that. Deer just do that.
They they see something, and they go, legs. That's what happened as they were running through their rear. Because they get separated, and now they can't find their people. Their other deer. 3 of them ran this way.
1 of them ran this way. Opposite directions. I hope they find you dead. Out. They make noise.
Those people weren't even running. They were just walking. They were just happily minding their business. And then deer. Right.
Surprise deer. Is there any other kind of deer? I think deer is pretty much always a surprise. Yeah. Driving down the road.
Surprise deer. The deer are running fast, actually. I would be curious to know how fast they were going because they were trucking it. They're probably 2. 2 miles per hour?
No. 2. Okay. 2 deer 2 deer miles, whatever that is. 2 knots.
Yeah. Well, I'm glad everybody's okay. Right? No one was seriously injured, including the deer. They No.
They got their legs underneath them and skedaddled. Grandma got run over by her. No. I heard your joke the first time. Say it again because it's hilarious.
They weren't even caribou. They were just deer. Oh, thanks for ruining my joke. I'm just explaining. That's all.
It's a good joke. Have you seen the new trend that's happening this Christmas? I don't know. Oh, have you? I I don't know.
What is it? And I'll tell you if I've seen it. It's nineties Christmas. Like, are you talking about the tacky Christmas? Is that what it's called?
Well, tacky Christmas has been, has been trending online for a little while. People have been doing, like, what would I what I would call our childhood Christmas. Yeah. So it looks like eighties nineties Christmas. There's a lot of that, you know, string tinsel hanging in the trees and lots of extra garlands wrapped around it.
Ornaments that don't necessarily match. Lots of lights. No. It's literally just our Christmas. It is our Christmas.
Right. And I love it. Yeah. There's, this big thing about bringing back vintage. And we even in the studio here, we found this little plastic light up snowman that looks all vintage.
It looks all vintage y? Yeah. Like, that's tacky Christmas. It's these old looking decorations. And I think it's there's a constant, drive for nostalgia, I think, in in the world, and I think it's it's hit the holiday pretty hard.
I asked my mom because my mom had these ornaments when we were a kid, and they looked like little boots. Mhmm. Like, little snow boots. And we had those. Me and my sister and brother had those ornaments, and I loved them.
They were fuzzy, but, like, the fuzz had wiped off on some parts of it. Like that, like, glued on velvety stuff? Okay. Uh-huh. And she can't find them.
Every year I go, hey. Did you find those boots yet? And she's like, no. I don't think she's looking. I don't think she's looking either.
I think she puts the tree in the corner and throws some stuff on it. Your mom likes a flocked tree. Yes. Always has. She's got that, flocked tree in the corner.
Does she still run? Didn't she run blue lights on it for a long time? She had red for years years years. She liked a red tree and then blue. Yeah.
Because the flocked really pops when you have just one color on it. She's always gotten a real tree. Uh-huh. And she gets it flocked, and it's expensive. Yeah.
And she complains about the price. Yeah. And she always gets a weird shaped tree. It it is. It's like a bush in the corner.
Yeah. It's always too small. Yeah. Or too big. Like, the 1 year, it, like, it was, like, touching the ceiling, but also was halfway into the room.
There's always a hole in the middle of it, so they have to turn it. And then my dad says, there. That's all I'm gonna turn it. There's a big fight. That's how it goes.
That's how my Christmas went. Chantel Christmas. Welcome. Welcome to my Christmas of the nineties. And then, I was trying to think of some of the other, things.
Like, do you remember these were before the nineties, but they had, the lights that had the little liquid in them that would bubble, the little bubble lights. No. Oh, look those up. Those are fun. What's it called?
Bubble lights. Yeah. Christmas bubble lights. They were kind of an interesting thing where they just had a little tube, that had liquid in it. That as it would heat up by the bulb, it would bubble.
Oh, I've seen those before. We never had those. But Yeah. Those are a little bit older, but they were kinda fun. Those seem kind of dangerous.
Were they dangerous? I I don't know what they were filled with. I don't think it was, like, mercury or anything, and they're still selling them. So you can still you can still get those. I saw You had a tree once that was hanging on your wall.
We had a half a tree because we had cats, and cats like to go into the Christmas tree. And so we had, a half a tree. It was, like, 3 or 4 feet tall, but it hung on the wall. So you could still hang all your decorations and stuff, but it was just half a tree hung on the wall. That happened.
Did it keep the cats out? I don't remember. Or did they still get up there? I don't know that they did. Because cats can jump.
You know? Nuh-uh. They can. They can and do. Yeah.
The half tree was was, was cool. But, anyway, I I like the tacky Christmas thing. Me too. And I kinda wanna go to some thrift stores and see what kind of tacky Christmas decorations they have at their their stores. I think you and everybody else.
I know. Everyone's already taken my idea. You gotta look after Christmas when people are like, alright. I'm getting rid of all of this old stuff. Yeah.
Because they're gonna go to put away Christmas, and they're gonna find a bunch of stuff where they're gonna be like, I don't want this. I'm not gonna put this up next year. No. This was too tacky. Right.
I went too far. Yeah. I went too far in the top direction. I've got all this new tacky stuff I like. I gotta get rid of this old stuff that's tacky that I don't like.
There you go. It's out of here. You're out of here. Yeah. Then you go thrift shopping is what I'm saying.
But happy tacky Christmas. To everyone or happy non tacky Christmas. Just happy Christmas. Yeah. Happy Christmas.
Tell me when you've heard this story before. K. In 1972, 4 friends, Marlon, Sue, Carol, and Mary were teenagers on vacation in the English seaside town of Torquay, and they posed for a picture while they were there. And since then, the women have remained friends. And whenever they see that old picture, they're transported back to the excitement of that first trip together as the 4 friends.
Okay. I haven't heard it yet. When the friends were younger, they often talked about one day returning to that seaside town. It doesn't sound like beaches. Small seaside town, some friends.
There's only 2 friends in beaches. My point is we've we've told this story. This story's been told. So when the friends were younger, they talked about going back, and now they have reached a milestone birthday of 70 years, and so they decided, hey. We're 70.
Let's go back. So they planned this trip, and along the way of planning, Sue said, we've gotta recreate that photo. Okay. So, they spent hours shopping thrift stores, looking at online secondhand stores, trying to find clothes that would closely resemble the outfits they wore as teenagers. And, and they actually did go back and they recreated the photo.
So if you They did. Look, there's the photo of them when they were teenagers. I the one thing stands out to me, skirts aren't made the same way No. They're 70 year olds as they are for 18 year olds or 19 or whatever. Kinda funny.
They look so happy. They do look very, very happy. In the old picture, the the the original when they're on vacation as 18 year olds Uh-huh. They all those dresses are so cute. I want all of them.
Yeah. That blue one that the woman on the right is wearing? Yeah. I'm like, where do you find that dress? I know.
Cute dress. Well, you find it back in the seventies is where you find it. Anyway, super cute, super fun that they that they were able to recreate that. Is that taken in the same exact spot? I I don't know for sure.
I know they went back to the same place, but it's been a lot of years. It's been 50 some odd years since they were there. So I I would imagine some stuff has changed in 50 years. I'm trying to see, you know, if you look in the left part of the photo, you can see there's kind of a brick wall there. Uh-huh.
And there is a a bit of a thing that goes across the roadway there. Yep. So I think it is because the bricks are there, and there is now a newer causeway over the top of the, street. So I think it's the same place. I just think a lot's changed in 50 years.
How cute. Look at those little friends. Isn't that fun? Yes. Anyway, it's good news.
Adorable. We should post the pictures. That would make sense. I just deleted the email that you sent. Way to go.
Go ahead and drop it. Trash. It's not like it's gone forever. Undo it. Oh, come on.
Alright. We'll we'll put them on, on Facebook so you can see. It's good news to get you going. So yesterday, I decided it was gonna be McRib Day as you remember. I was pretty excited that I was gonna have my Yes.
My inaugural. I don't know why we have to keep talking about the McRib. Delicious McRib? Disgusted. Well, listen.
I'm listening. Let me tell you how my McRib experience went because Gross. There's a likelihood I'm gonna have to have another one. Why? Let me explain.
I'm waiting. It's taking a long time explaining. Haven't even started. You're drawing it out. Well, yesterday was, was the day for me to try the McRib because it is back, and I was very excited.
So I went to the drive through, and I got my sandwich. And then, I was on a lunch break, and I didn't wanna come back to the office. And so I said, I'm just gonna go, park somewhere, listen to some, music, and then and enjoy my McRib Okay. In in the car. That was kinda my thought.
Cute. So I was on my way to I was gonna go to a park and and park and eat more. A park and park? Yeah. And, then you sent me a message and said, hey.
Can you go pick up our daughter? Which is very much not near where I was. Oh, shit. I said, alright. Yeah.
No worries. Reroute. So I drove all the way across town, picked her up, took her home, dropped her off, and then I went, alright. Headed back to work. Got back in my car, drove back to work, sat in the parking lot for a minute, and I was like, alright.
I'm finally gonna eat. Well, by the time I had done all that It was cold. It was cold. I bet it called McRib. No.
It wasn't taste that much better than a hot McRib. There's it definitely was not as good as it would have been hot. Why didn't you eat it hot? Because I got to reroute. I wasn't gonna eat and drive.
Not that saucy monster. So, you know, there's there are things you can eat while you're driving, but, that saucy McRib is not high on the list. So, so I I ate a cold one. So are you saying that I'm the one that ruined your plans? I'm saying my my McRib experience was interrupted.
Your McRib experience was It was interrupted. Sorry. So I need to probably have another one. I'm not doing it today. Why?
I've gotta process the first one. Gross. So before it goes, I need to have a real one, a warm one, a good one. Maybe a sit down in the restaurant and eat 1. Why sit down in the restaurant and eat 1?
Then it will be very fresh. And it's so hot. Get rerouted. It'll be piping hot, won't it? Right.
That's that's my goal. Is to get that piping hot delicious McRib because the one that I had wasn't Delicious. Piping hot McRib. Yes. Yeah?
You can have that. Delicious? Take delicious out of the equation. We know it's not that. It is good.
Ugh. It was still decent. Ew. The golden grip was delicious. About their pickles, though.
Because he I don't like McDonald's needs a better pickle. I like their pickles. No. What's wrong with their pickles? They're not a crispy good pickle.
You okay. We had McDonald's over the weekend because we were traveling, and it was just a quick stop. And you took your pickles off your burger. I get them on there. Yeah.
Put them on mine. Right. They were kinda soggy and warm. I will say that. I'm not I don't worry about I just wish they were crisp because they shouldn't pull out of your sandwich when you bite.
Saying they did. They were warm and they did that. Yeah. I don't I don't like that. I don't know what's going on.
They need a better pickle. Because that that McRib sandwich with a decent pickle If why don't you just make your own McRib sandwich? I should. You should. I should just make my own.
I could probably eat what you made. Really? Yeah. I'd give it a go. I'll need that mold to make that shape.
You don't have to make that shape. And then Just make a here's what you'll do. Uh-huh. Here's what we'll do. Uh-huh.
We'll just make a pulled pork barbecue sandwich. That's not That sounds delicious. That's not what I want. That's what I want. That's not a McRib at all.
I mean, it is pork, but it's not the same. Better. I bet I can find those McRib patties, get a get a nice bun, a real good pickle, a tangy barbecue sauce, and I could make it. You like onions, so I'll put some onion on there for you. Yeah.
I like onions. And you could even use, those butter pickles you like. Oh, the bread and butter pickles. Those are so delicious. You might really enjoy.
A little coleslaw on the side? No. See, that's what you're that's you're ruining it. You're making a pulled pork sandwich again. Stop.
Every streaming platform has a holiday baking show? Not just one. They've got many. K. So we turned on 1.
There's a couple that we turned on last week. Well, I tried a cookie one because I like cookies, and I thought, hey. I could watch cookies instead of eating cookies. That sounds healthier. And I was just trying to, like, fall asleep or whatever, rest, and so I wasn't like, I didn't wanna have to act.
I didn't wanna have to, like, keep up with anything. So it's more noise than anything. Yeah. And and there's something nice about it, you know, kitchen noises and stuff. So that was fine.
Okay. Was that the one with the pioneer woman as the judge? Yes. Okay. That was probably the the one of the good ones because we watched one that was not good.
And now I can't even remember what they were doing. What were they making? You hated everything about that one. Do you remember that one? Yeah.
I didn't like the way they were cooking. I I I was trying to see if It was the they had teams. Yeah. And the writing was kinda bad. The writing was very bad.
It was not on Netflix. I'm trying to remember where it was. I think it was probably on HBO. Yeah. On Max?
Yeah. I think. Anyway, here's what I think is interesting. So the judges are always the the one that you did like with the Pioneer Woman is the judge, this cookie show, the judges are esteemed people. Right?
Like, they're known for their cooking. They're known for their baking. They've got books and shows, and so they are they're what is considered experts in their category of cooking. Right? Here's what I think needs to happen on these baking and cooking shows.
I think the judges need to be in the hot seat. They need to be contestants while the contestants judge their cookies. If you think it's so easy Oh. To bake a cookie in 30 minutes and have it perfectly decorated, and you're gonna sit there and judge, I don't like the texture of this. You'll use too much cocoa powder in this cookie.
I get it. Or you just kinda sprinkled You don't feel like chocolate on top of this. You didn't adequately bake this. I think as part of the show, they should swap positions, and the contestants should judge the judges. That's what I think.
How about that? Or cook alongside where they also have to do the same thing. I think it's I think it's on Peacock, the one that we were watching. Oh, you might be right. And and there's a million.
There is. But I'm telling you and I'm trying to even find, the right one because it just wasn't what what I said then was correct. The the the judges were strange. Like, it was people that nobody knew, but then the contestants do that whole thing where they're like, I can't believe they're actually here. What?
Who? Yeah. Who is it? Who? You don't know these people?
And I was trying to remember who the host was even, and maybe that would have helped. I don't think it was anybody. But then it it felt like they were trying to be trendy and hip in the way they had scripted the lines for the host. And I was like, this is just not true. To be Nailed It.
Right. That show Nailed It Right. On Netflix. Which is fun to watch. And what's her name?
Nicole? Nicole Byers? Yeah. She's great. She's awesome.
But this show was not it. And I feel like we've talked about a show we can't even name. Just avoid it. If you start watching it and you feel like it's not it, just watch something else. You'll know.
You'll know pretty quick. You'll go, no. This might be the one. This one isn't very good, and that's fine. Just switch to something else.
What were they even making? That might help. That's what I was trying to I I can't remember. Here's the thing. I was fine.
I was entertained. It was fine. You were like, I can't. There was a character. They were making, they had to make some sort of character.
Character. Yeah. And then there was, like, a they had to take, like, an animal and put it in, like, a Oh, yeah. You remember? They had to make it, like, in a cute outfit, and the one group made the cat with the longest torso you've ever Yeah.
Imagined the size snowman. Snowman. And it looked like the snowman was wearing a cat costume instead. If you see that, just stop. And there was one other thing else.
Flamingo. The flamingo is wearing, like, an elf suit or something. That's the one. That's the one. Watch something else.
If you stumble across that baking show, find something else. Yeah. Alright. That's enough. I had a fever last week.
Yeah. The thermometer said a 106. They lied. I don't think that was true. I would have been dead Right.
I think. But I did have a fever. Yeah. And you made me go take a cold shower. Well, a colder shower because said needed it wasn't frigid.
I it was a little bit warm. It wasn't ice cold. It wasn't ice cold. It was not warm, but I cried like a little baby. You said, you need to get that fever down.
You need to go take a cold shower. And I said, I don't want to. Right. And you made me go take a cold shower. Which here's the deal.
There's I've been reading a lot about it because I I wanted to do more research about how to help break a fever. Yeah. And, there are people who are like, do it. Ice bath. Do what you gotta do to break that fever.
And then there are other people who are like, yeah. Don't do that. It's gonna make the fever worse. Yeah. You said this Which I don't know.
After I'm shivering in the shower. Had to do some research. You said that can actually spike your fever, so let's not do that. Then But I wasn't that cold. It was pretty cold.
It was cold enough that I was trying to help. For somebody who was already cold? Yeah. But you weren't. You were hot.
But I was freezing. Your body thought you were Okay. So that overheating. So it was trying to make you feel cold. You went and got a bowl of cold water and a sponge Correct.
Because I read my head. Yeah. That's so nice. Well, I read that that was actually more effective than the shower thing at helping, break a fever. So I said, I'll try that.
Did it work? Well, I felt like I was in the movie Little Women. I I felt the same thing. I didn't know you also thought that. I was kind of excited going in Little Women.
No. It's not that exciting. She has what's that fever that they get? Scarlet? Scarlet fever.
Thank you. They take her feet because her feet are cold, and then they raise her feet, and then they, like, rub her feet to get the cold to go up to her head. Is that a thing? I don't know if that works. But Did you try it?
When you were sponging my head, I went Yeah. You gotta raise my feet. You gotta No. No. That's hilarious.
It it felt super old timey. Like, oh I thought the same thing. Me go run some water in a bowl and pat you down. Like, what is happening? I don't know.
Have you ever read that book No. Or watched that movie? No. I have not. Oh, Josh.
I just knew Do we even know who has the fever? One of the girls? Yes. One of the little women? Yes.
Uh-huh. Her name is? Mary? No. Beth?
Beth. Well done. That's a good guess. Good guess. I might have seen Little Women.
I just don't know. Well, we gotta watch it if you haven't seen it. Yeah. We lived it. Yeah.
I ever saw the bowl of water and the sponge, and she said, what's that for? I said, oh, dad was sponging my head when I had a fever. And she goes, I think he kinda likes you. Yeah. And I cleaned the baseboards at the same time.
You did? Yeah. Same sponge. Same sponge. Did you do the baseboards after my head or before?
Time. In between. Sponge, sponge, sponge, baseboard. Just like that. So there we were a couple of nights ago.
You wanted a snack. Uh-huh. You wanted a chocolate snack chocolaty snack, but you're not so much of a sweet tooth. No. But I love chocolate pudding.
You said I wanna get some chocolate pudding. I love chocolate pudding. Do you? I do. Do you love chocolate pudding more than banana pudding?
Yes. I don't like banana pudding. You don't? Oh. Banana pudding is delicious.
Fine, but it's not chocolate pudding. Like, listen. When I would go to, like, week long camps Yeah. As an adult. As an adult with scouts, they would bring around the big number 10 cans of chocolate pudding, and they're like, here's your pudding ration for, you know, dessert.
What a what a glorious thing at number 10 can of chocolate pudding. Say number my number 10. What? Because a big can. Is that number 10?
Yeah. Number 10 can. It's a big can. I'm not talking little soup can. It's a beast.
Okay. Yeah. I see what you're saying. Full of chocolate pudding, and it's amazing. You can get you can get a number 10 can of diced beef.
No. That's not it. Anyway, the chocolate pudding is amazing, and I, I like it. Yeah. So we just got the little packs of pudding, though.
Just the little cups. Like a little snack bag. Because I don't wanna be bothered by making it. I wanted to target me. The the the refrigerated kind, I like that better than just the nonrefrigerated kind, which is what you got.
Okay. I I didn't know there was a nonrefrigerated kind. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay.
But we got also got the 0 sugar, because I'm not here to be, you know, unhealthy when I'm eating my chocolate pudding. So you get the chocolate one, the regular chocolate one for you. I like the chocolate and vanilla swirl. K. So I got those for me.
We're sitting snacking on our snack pack like 2 old fuddy duddies Yeah. On the couch. You ate yours so quick. Yeah. What did I say to you?
You said to me, you're not even savoring it. You're eating it so fast. You say I eat fast all the time. You're like, do you even taste it? Like, I get that all the time from people I eat with.
They're like, dude, slow down. Well, you eat very fast. Not my pudding. Not your pudding. You savor.
Take my time with my pudding. I said what'd I say to you after you said that to me? Don't tell me how to eat my snack pack. Said. Yeah.
You said mind your own snack pack. Keep your eyes on your own snack pack. Yeah. You were scraping the bottom, and I was like, 2 or 3 bites in. I was going, woah.
What's going on, Speedy Gonzales? Like I ate it at a regular pace. Clearly not. I did. I didn't go too slow like you did.
Do you lick the lid? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I scrape it with the spoon. I don't like to lick it.
Why? I don't like to lick it. Why? I scrape it with a spoon. It's the same thing.
I just use the spoon. Taste better if you lick it. No. I don't think so. I would lick the whole cup of snack back if I could, but it's too deep.
My tongue is not long enough to reach the bottom. I don't why? Just use a spoon. Nah. It's funner if you have just no utensil.
No. Yeah. Mind your own snack pack. That's what you said. You you you told me.
I'll be over here minding my own chocolate pudding. Thank you very much. I should have brought one. I want one now. I don't have one with me.
I don't either. I thought about packing 1 of my lunch today. Chocolate pudding is so good. It is so good. This has been a break about chocolate pudding.
Here's a test. Are you ready? Okay. We're at home. Somebody comes and either knocks or rings the doorbell.
Who's getting up to get it? Okay. Who should get up or who will get up? Who will get up. I will.
Good. Who should? Yeah. Anyone. No.
Yes. You. Why? Because that's your lot in life. Go answer the door.
I don't want to. Why? Because I don't want to. Why? Because I don't like answering the door.
Just go answer the door. You answered the test correctly. Well done. Who will is me. Who should?
Anyone in the house. No. We can't be bothered. The kids are afraid to open the door. I know they are.
I'm not afraid. I just don't want to. Usually, it's because once I'm at home, especially in these winter months and it's cold, regular clothes come off, sweats come on. Someone came to your house. They expect you to be comfortable in your home.
That doesn't work. Be walking around in some, like, suit. Suit? I don't even have a suit. My point is, yeah, you're comfortable in your home.
That's to be expected. Plus, who's coming to the door to like, ever? Nobody. No one. It's usually salespeople.
Oh, or somebody dropping off a package or something. Nobody ever drops off packages at our house. We don't get a lot of, like, come around knocking. No. We don't.
But I just wanted to make sure you knew that that's your job. Okay. Who answers the door when I'm not there? No one. We all hide.
Oh, you guys. Just answer the door. I have. I've answered the door before. Was it a traumatic experience?
No. When you're not around, I'm the door answer. But if you're around, absolutely. I'll watch the dog so she doesn't attack the person. That's my job.
You just have to tell the dog to go to her bed. Now Yeah. I'll get the dog. You get the door, and I'll take the dog in the kitchen so that I don't have to have face to face contact. And then if somebody goes, oh, is Chantel here?
I'll say, hey, from the kitchen. Right. Just answer the door. It's your job. I'm gonna quit doing it.
Okay. Then no one's gonna answer the door. Well, it happens, like, 4 times a year. So I know. And it's usually usually solicitors.
Yeah. And then I go Well, it's your turn to tell somebody no. I do all the time. At our house, at our front door. Yes.
All the time. Just better at it than I am. Alright. You are. You're so good at it.
I just listen. When it comes to door to door sales, having done that for a time when I lived in Arizona, it's not great. No. It sucks. That's a terrible job.
But, also, don't come to my house. If I want your thing, I'll find you. I'll come to you. Exactly. If I if I need whatever it is, I'll come find you.
We always get those people that go, oh, we're just in the neighborhood. We were doing a sign for They weren't. The neighbor tells It's a line. And then they go, do you know so and so? And I go, no.
I don't know any of my neighbors. You know why? Because I don't leave my house. Right. And I don't answer the door.
I hide away in the kitchen holding the dog. You get it. So coming up on 9th, Gentry is going to be performing live at the Mountain America Center. We've got some free tickets to give away. So we decided we're gonna play a finish the Christmas Carol lyric game.

Browns and Broncos. Oh, he had I know who he had. He had the Broncos defense, but I was up by 20 points. His Broncos defense got 13. Come on.
I am so mad. I can't even. I'm can't evening right now. I I can hear that. But you lost by 2 points.
13 points. How did the Broncos have 13 on their defense? Looks like I can't. They got 2 defensive touchdowns and 3 interceptions. That's how.

I did not think that he's But instead, you're down here in the bottom with me hanging out. That is so lame. I had a terrible week. One of my worst weeks ever. I lost by almost 40 points to our daughter who just smoked me.
To be fair, she beat everyone else by 20 points. She's an animal. She's got a crazy team this week. Even believe So I don't know what to do with that. But here's the deal.
This is our final week of regular season. You are currently in 4th overall in the league, which I know really gets your goat. I don't even care. Listen. You're playing against me this week in the final week of regular season.
I am in 2nd. And everybody tells me the first place spot. Here's what everybody tells me. Because George Kittle Yeah. Scored one point.
I know. And everybody said, well, why would you play San Francisco? They were at Buffalo. Yeah. It was snow game.
Put him in? He said Buffalo. And I was like, why didn't anybody tell me? You should do research. You should do research.
You have lost 6 weeks in a row. You've lost 6 weeks in a row. I have lost 2 in a row. Don't tell me how to manage my football team. Clearly would never.
It's so mad. I can't even believe this. I don't even wanna watch football anymore. Oh, you're just throwing in the towel. Well, listen.
The good news is that there are 4 teams in our division. Yes. And so we're all going to the playoffs. So, the but the playoffs are gonna knock people out quick, like, because what's gonna happen is, this week is our final week of regular season, you and I against each other. There's a chance you might win.
I am gonna win. Let's just slow down a little bit because 6 in a row, you've said you were gonna win, and you haven't. I was doing so good when we first started. I know. Hey.
But guess what? What? My Vikings are killing it. In case you haven't seen, they're doing so good. So I'm happy about that.
Super. I'm not happy about anything else. Ugh. Gross. I hate football.
I don't even wanna play ever again. So you're playing against me this week. We'll have an update as the week rolls on. It's a good time to rebuild. No.
Or just stick with what's been working for 6 weeks in a row for you. Sure. You do you. Good luck to you. Good luck to you.
Did the kids ever send you videos on TikTok? No. They send, like, Instagram Reels. Oh, that's what I meant. Yeah.
We have, like, a group, thing they send stuff to. They send videos. Typically send me anything separate. Emery does sometimes. But but then I watch them and I go, I don't understand.
And then she'll say, did you see that real I sent you? And I go, yeah. And she goes, wasn't that hilarious? And I say, yep. But I don't understand it.
Okay. I don't understand what they think is funny. Okay. You get with the times. I'm with the times.
I'm hip. The same thing. I send them stuff, and I go, this is hilarious. And they go, it wasn't that funny. Yeah.
That's mom humor. Whatever. I've got good humor. I'm just telling you what they say. I know what they say.
I know what I think you think is funny, and so I send you that stuff. Do you also think you the thing. Sometimes, here's the thing about sending videos, whether that's in a text, in in, in an app, whatever. I will send a video that I think will resonate with someone. I don't just send something I think is funny.
No. I do too. I agree. Well, that's not true. I send things that I didn't care about.
You will be laughing hysterically, and then I'll get a notification that there's a video. It like, it just happened a few minutes ago. Yeah. You saw something and went, and then I hear ping, and I oh, I get to see whatever made her laugh. That should make you happy.
I'm sharing my joy Right. With you. My point is you get a video from the kids that they think is funny. Yeah. Okay.
Send a video to you that they thought would make you laugh. Okay. You're right. That's what I send. The videos I send are intended to in evoke an emotion out of someone else.
I saw this, and it made me think of you. It's a gift. Okay. That's what I sent. See what you're saying.
I don't send, like, I saw this thing. I thought it was hilarious. You should see it too. That's different mentality. I see what you're saying.
Right? So when I send a video, it's I think you'll like this. So what you're saying is that I need to be more receptive to what the kids said. No. What I'm saying is the kids are shit what what you do to others, they did to you, and you went, I don't get it.
No. Alright. I'm a Right? Yeah. You're right.
No. I didn't say you're a jerk. That's not what I said at all. I'm just putting things into perspective. It wasn't for you.
It was something they said, this made me laugh. You should watch it too. Yeah. It wasn't, I sent this to mom because I think mom would like it. It was I like this, so I'm sharing it with people.
Different mentality. I get what you're saying. Right? Hey. But you should go watch that video I just sent you because it's very funny.
Because you laughed. I did laugh. It was good. I think you'll like it. You you think I will, or you liked it and want me to see what may what you like?
Yeah. Both. Mhmm. But mostly the second part? It feels like mostly the second part.
No. Just go check it out. Alright. Let me know what you think. Well, we'll see what happens.
Last weekend, I decided to put up Christmas decorations, and it was the first time in my adult life that I've put up Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving. That was 2 weeks ago. Yeah. That's what I said. You said last weekend.
Last weekend. Last weekend, we were out of town because it was after Thanksgiving. The weekend before that, 2 weekends ago Okay. We put up Christmas Okay. Before Thanksgiving.
Yeah. Mhmm. And it was actually very nice, wasn't it? It was fine. Yeah.
Liked it. It's all good. I have found, and I was talking to a friend about this, Christmas putting up Christmas decorations is a lot of work. Mhmm. It takes a lot of time.
It's time consuming. But then once I have a few like, the majority of the decorations up, I just want to keep adding more and more and more. Is that right? Yeah. Like, here happened in this room?
Yeah. Here in the studio, like, we have been decked for Christmas for quite some time. Yeah. Before we launched Christmas music, which was November 15th. So, yeah, we've been decorated since mid November in here.
Yeah. I keep finding more decorations at home, and I go, this will look great in the studio. Studio is out of room. No. I can I can add more?
Like, I've got these ornaments I wanna hang from the ceiling, but I need a step stool. You wanna hang more ornaments from the ceiling? Yeah. Yep. We already have 2 dozen hanging from the ceiling.
But I want more. See, I've got more reindeer that I wanna hang from the ceiling. Uh-huh. I wrapped some stuff, pictures that were hanging on the wall. Uh-huh.
I put some reindeer ears on your painting over there of yourself, but they keep falling off. So I gotta figure out something else for that. Keep using the mask or the Scotch tape. That'll do it. Yeah.
Just need to keep adding more. Mhmm. And your hat on your painting keeps falling off too. Same same stitch. Okay.
How much is too much do you think? We're getting close. No. There's still so much space. We still have so much space.
You're right. I can move around in here. Let's stop that. Yeah. Exactly.
Put an end to being able to feel comfortable. No. We're just gonna hang stuff on the walls. We're not I'm not gonna prohibit you from moving around. You're gonna start bringing in inflatables.
We're gonna have all that going on. Did have an inflatable. I had a buddy, the elf inflatable. Right. Apparently, he only works in your car Right.
Because he has to be hooked up to the The 12 volt adapter thing. Yeah. Yeah. Can we get a 12 is there a portable 12 volt adapter? No.
They don't make that. They do. No. Never heard of it. You just don't want them in here?
Doesn't exist. Do you? Where? He can hang out on the shelf right there. No.
It's not gonna impact you at all. I don't need it. Yes. It will. I don't need a giant inflated elf in here.
I'm gonna find portable. No. What is it? Twelve volt? We don't there's no there's no such thing.
There is too. No. It doesn't exist. Mhmm. You're a bad liar.
I checked. They quit making it. No. I'm a find 1. No.
They're illegal. Guy has 1. They're illegal. No. He doesn't.
Why would he have that? Portable Nah. 12 volts. I'm looking it up. Oh, look.
It's not even that oh, it's kind of expensive. Well yeah. Because you're probably looking at a battery pack. Yeah. Yeah.
What am I supposed to be looking at? I'm I'm just gonna leave this alone. I'm not even gonna tell you. It just doesn't exist. That's all.
Just leave the inflated elf out of here. You and I, have started to amass quite the collection of Christmas cards. You have 2? It's 2. We have 2.
Yeah. It's quite the mass. Yeah. Well, we would like to have more. And so if you wanna send us a Christmas card, it's 400 West Sunnyside in Idaho Falls at 83402.
That's the mailing address for the studios. Just send it to Josh and Chantel, and you can make it, onto the door. That's true. We'll send you one in return. To be fair, let's let's be real.
We've received a card from, from listeners, John and Valerie. Yeah. Thank you for your card. And we got one from a coworker. So, and he's and he's a good card.
He put together a card this year, and he's very proud of his card. Yeah. And he he wanted to put one on the door, so he gave us 1, and we and he made it on the door. So but but realistically, we are we got one card. So, we'd love to have one from you.

And you said you wanted to have something a little lighthearted and fun? Yeah. A little something, different than what we did last year, or you didn't feel like that was fun? No. Last year was fun.
Okay. Yeah. I guess it was. I was trying to remember what we did last year. Ugly sweaters.
We had a couple of Roland made appearance. Our Roland our, Our studio elf. Magical. Uh-huh. Studio.
Studio elf. He made, made an appearance. He hasn't been up to any hijinx yet. He hasn't returned yet. That's why.

Little would you rather this or that. It's the Christmas edition. Would You Rather be one of Santa's elves or one of his reindeer? Oh, an elf. Why?
Because it's too cold to live outside? No. Yes. That's why I'm picking up North Pole no matter what. And then, you know, if you're a reindeer, yeah, you're going outside, but you're staying warm in the barn until Until the 1 night when you have to work.
When you have to work nonstop. That's my that was my initial choice was to be a reindeer because the elves are working constantly. Right. But there's also all that hot cocoa, the camaraderie of the elves. Oh, the reindeer have camaraderie.
Sure. They do. But have you seen how cool the elves are with one another? Pretty great. The reindeer are pretty great too.
Thank you. You picking? I'm gonna pick reindeer. Take that. I'm not this is not against me.
There's no there's no take that. That doesn't even make sense. It does. Because initially, that's what I was gonna pick, and then I went, oh, it's too cold. They have to live outside.
Oh, they have a stable. They have a nice coat. So, yeah, I'm gonna pick a reindeer because they only have to work coat. Yeah. Like, they they're warm and they're Yeah.
But they gotta work real hard. Real hard. Not really. Yeah. Really, it's just one reindeer that has to work real hard.
No. And the rest of us just have to follow. And then we get to take pit stops every now and then. And then kids will leave food for us, little snacks. I get it.
Sometimes, we'll get a carrot or something here, and then we Sure. We rest while Santa does his work, and then we're like, alright. Here we go again. Okay. Rudolph, pull your weight.
See, I don't know like, Rudolph's around, but I don't know if Rudolph is, like, required to be there every year. I think he only comes around on foggy nights. You have to take Rudolph in every flight. Rudolph? It's so funny.
Whenever there's do. Whenever there's an o l f or an o l p h, the l gets left behind. It's a wolf or a wolf? It's Rudolph or it's Rudolph. Rudolph.
It's just funny to me. Would you rather be the l in a word that you say? Or Or what? Any other letter. Rudolph.
That's funny to me. That's very funny. That's a unique thing I use I sort of learned about you just now because I knew it existed with wolf and woof, but I did not know it existed with Rudolph. And now I'm very happy. I learned that 20 years plus of being like, we've been together a long time.
Yeah. We have. Was it going on 24, 25 years we've been? No. Yeah.
Only 11 how long? 21. Only 21. Yeah. It feels like 26.
