Full show transcript:
Hey, what's our weekend
plans? I don't even know. I'm talking about maybe doing some fishing. Uh there's uh concert.
There's we're gonna go see AJR. That's right. Tonight. Yeah. Um, you're gonna do some fishing tomorrow. Our daughter's got some plans. We got a birthday party on Sunday. Um Beck wants to go to almost the city of the city.
Yeah, he wants to go to craters and you do some telescope. Telescoping so that would have to be like either late tonight or Saturday night. There, I don't know. It's supposed to, we have to, we've got to look at the weather. It's supposed to be kind of cloudy. So it might not be a good, it's supposed to be rainy and thunderstorming and stuff. Yeah.
I gotta do some weeding in the garden, not your garden just in my flower garden area.
Yeah, it'd be nice to have some help with that project. The backyard needs more than just my hands. I can only do so much. And I've done a little, but I haven't done that whole flower bed.
No, no, flower bed is a project. I know. And it's been hot and I'm tired.
Oh, yeah, it's supposed to be rainy and overcast and a little bit cooler this weekend.
Okay, so I'll get in the yard and weed while you're out fishing. That sums. Good.
Sounds like good weekend plans we got here. I don't know. We could sleep outside. If we end up going to craters, we could sleep outside somewhere. No? No, no.
If we go to craters, I'm coming back home. I'm not sleeping in a tent.
Well, I didn't say a tent. We have a trailer. Okay.
Are we gonna haul our trailer? I don't know. I don't either.
This is weekend plans.
It's not the prettiest place to camp. It's not my favorite.
But we're going to look at the stars at night. Not necessarily to hike around craters. You have a thing where you don't like the desert.
I don't like the desert. I do not. And everyone tells me that that's wrong and that the desert is beautiful, and that I should be appreciative of the desert because what a beautiful place it is. And I go, but it's dry. Yeah. And dusty and boring.
No, you you gotta look below the dry dust and look for the beauty. It's in the lava rocks and the and the vegetation that's been able to re-establish after volcano activity. And the caves. So pretty. Lava tubes.
I want mountains and trees and there's some lava mountains. I know. And there's desert flowers. It's just not my favorite. It's just not my favorite. All right. Well.
But what about sagebrush fields? How do you feel about miles of sands?
Yeah, and ticks and Yes. sounds great. I love it. Lizards. Yeah. Desert creatures. Yeah. Coyotes. I All of the things. Yeah.
Well, you can see them this weekend. It's part of our weekend plans. No, let's. Let's build you a bingo card. Let's go. So that you can cross off things that you see. And maybe you'll like it. You like crossing off the list. Let's make a list of different items to be on the lookout for. That sounds good. Like a scavenger. Yeah. Yeah, you love that.
Have a good weekend, everybody.
Boy, all right. Hey, let's dive into today's show, huh? Happy Friday morning.
Oh yeah. Yeah? Yeah. Oh, yeah.
I mean, nothing more annoying than first thing you hear in the morning is a couple of people on your radio going. Oh yeah. It's a great way to start the day.
It's a great way to wake up, isn't it?
Oh, yeah. Uh oh yeah. I suppose you're uh excited that it's Friday. Oh, I'm so stoked. Yeah?
Yeah, can't you tell in my voice? I'm so I'm so stoked.
Yeah. Well, you got up early today, so I did.
Which means like I'm I'm feeling fine now. Yeah. But I'm gonna hit a wall. What time? Usually about two o'clock.
Two o'clock. You're going to hit that slump. Yeah. Is that when the diet coke happens?
Yes. Yes, it does.
The two o'clock diet coke. Yes. I see. And Does that help? Ah, I don't know.
I like I like to think it does. Yeah. But does it just have a placebo effect? Probably. But I guess.
Oh boy, does it get me going?
Crack open that cold diet coke and you go, ah. Uh-huh. Welcome home, baby. That's what you say.
And then you go, oh yeah. Just like that. Wow.
You know my afternoon routine.
Well, I want to see video proof at two o'clock. Okay, I will. Shh. Oh, yeah.
You forgot the welcome home. Welcome home, baby.
That's that's a weird thing to say. It's a strange thing to say. But two o'clock, you watch out. Yeah. That diet coke is uh it's gonna land. It's gonna land. Okay. Right? Sure thing. Is that what the kids say? Oh yeah. That's what they say.
When do you typically hit your afternoon slump?
Oh, about uh 11 a.m. Yeah? Oh that early? Well, listen, there's a lot of intensity that goes into the first four hours of my day. Yes. So by the time I finish the show and then produce and post the podcast episode for the day, then reality of like I have four more hours to like fill with work sets in. So yeah, about 10 30, 11, I'm like, oh here we go. Yeah, I feel that. Yeah.
Except at 11, I'm usually like, okay, I got I got lunch to look forward to. And my stomach starts a little bit like, hey yeah, lunch. I could go for some lunch. And I go, nah, it's too early.
11 o'clock, I could eat lunch. I mean, waking up as early as we do, there's nothing wrong with having lunch at 11.
There's even if you don't wake up as early as I do, just have lunch whenever you want to have lunch. But I I feel like noon is kind of that like the I don't know, the top of the mountain, right? So then it's like all downhill after lunch. I see. So you can get through lunch, then Yeah. So I'm like, oh.
Seeing see, and you work later than I do with your second job. And so on a typical day when the majority of people arrive at eight, the majority of people take lunch at noon, the majority of people leave at five.
Get to leave early, so I should probably take lunch early because I get here early. I mean, do what you want to do. Right. But then if I want to go to lunch with people at work, then I have to wait for their time. And then I go, okay, I'll wait an hour. Been hungry for two hours now. That's how that goes. And then they go, why you eat so fast? I'm like, because I'm starving.
So you hit a slump about eleven.
I just I hit reality of the day at 11. By the By the time one o'clock, two o'clock, three o'clock rock, it's I'm tired. Yeah, two o'clock, it's and I go, Yeah. Afternoon nap would be nice. Is it time to go home? Right.
I could act like if we were allowed to have like a 20-minute power nap at work, two o'clock, I'd be like, Can I just go take a quick snoozer?
You can just go, hey, I'm gonna go for a walk real quick and just go to your car. And then 20 minutes later, after your little uh power nap, you go, all right. I'm ready to rock and roll. Welcome home.
Well, hey, uh, good morning. It is Friday. Let's get you some good news. Have you heard about this book called The Wait, The Weighty World book?
Uh uh no, I have not.
So back in 1985, uh, authors Alyssa Gerlnik and Paul Levitt co-wrote a children's book called The Weighty World Book. And it was written as a fun way to help kids learn big vocabulary words through puns and stories, and it kind of had a small following through the years and never became a big commercial success or anything.
Alyssa admitted we really never made a dime. Well, that all changed when a TikTok creator named Eli McCann shared a video reminiscing about finding the weighty world book when he was in eighth grade, and the video is apparently struck a chord with viewers, and the reaction has been insane.
Yeah, yeah, yes. Now I remember this. I remember this. I read something about this.
Yeah. 40 years after the book was first published, it is a huge hit. And the publisher has had to order an emergency reprint to keep up with demand. That's awesome. Yeah, for Alyssa, the one of the co-authors, she said the entire experience has been very thrilling, not because of the sales figures, but we're so happy to how the book's unexpected success has given a boost to people closer to her. She said, My kids are delighted. Paul's kids are delighted. In a way, the whole family is getting in on this.
I'm on a bo I'm on it. Forty years ago they wrote this book, and now all of a sudden everybody's talking about it. Yeah, I want I want it. You want the book.
Well, yeah, if everybody else is getting it. Oh, is that right? I got FOMO. And it sounds like a cool book.
Yeah, the weighty world book. I I feel like you've seen this book. Yeah, because we looked it up. Yeah, with the little pandas on.
I feel like I talked about this on the radio. I don't think so. Roll tape. Okay. I almost feel like we did.
Well, it showed up this week. Good news now.
Talk about it on the radio. We talked about it in the studio and we looked it up. I don't remember that. We did. Okay. We did. Well, nonetheless, the book is going wild.
More more of them have been ordered to be printed so you can get your hands on this 40-year-old children's book that's taken over. That's awesome. Yeah. Did we look up words that we were going to learn from it?
Yeah, because it had like cool stuff. You know? No. That's why I'm asking.
I feel like I'm losing my mind. I don't remember this at all.
Yes, because there was like a story that I had read where there was a somebody, a student who was like, I remember my teacher buying us this book. Like she got everybody in the class the book. Ah. And she was like, I can't find it anywhere. I need to find it. Okay. Okay.
I'm starting to feel like maybe I remember that. And then we looked it up. Yeah.
And we looked at some words in the book, and now I can't. Let's see. What were some words in the book? Hmm.
Well, there's big vocabulary words, but yeah. Like this one. Okay. Winsome. Winsome. Winsome, you lose some. Yeah.
No, it wasn't that. Well done. Hold on, Josh. Okay. My internet's going slow.
I love it when that happens. Anyway, so that's cool. Yeah. Well, it is uh it is uh, you know, a big successful book now. So I'm happy for those guys after 40 years. Uh that's great. Adamant. Adamant.
No, that's a work a basement.
That's where you'll find me chilling out because it's too hot upstairs. You'll find me in a basement. You need this book. You need this.
You could learn some stuff. Okay. Anyway, it's good news. If the rumors are true, okay, then that would mean that Taylor and Travis will be getting married next weekend.
If the rumors are true. Yes. Now, she's a huge Fourth of July fan. She always has a big Fourth of July party.
Who is in a Fourth of July?
No, I understand. I'm just saying that she always has like a pretty extravagant summer party uh for her and her friends on the Fourth of July. So you're thinking that it's gonna be the wedding. That's what people are saying. All right.
They're saying it's gonna be at Madison Square Garden. Okay. And they're anticipating about one to two thousand guests. Unreal. And they're anticipating that she's gonna have multiple outfit changes. Now she a lot of her fans are saying that she's gonna perform at her own wedding, which seems uh that
feels a little look at me, but it is her special day.
But there are people we've seen people in the past who have performed at their own wedding. Like that groom will get out a guitar and play a song.
Okay, and they'll do a special dance, maybe sometimes. It is your day. Yeah, it's your day to showcase yourself. Okay, you know? Yeah. I mean, so why not? She is also hinted at Ed Sheeran maybe performing.
Uh she knew very close, and that would be a very wedding thing.
Ed Sheeran makes the best like marriage songs.
You think he put together something new just for them? Or do you think he's just gonna play one of the hits? I don't know.
I I haven't talked to him lately. Couldn't tell you.
He'd be a cool guy to hang out with, I think. I think so too. Yeah.
If you could pick anybody to perform at your wedding, would it be? Hmm. Hmm.
It wouldn't be me, I'll tell you that much. I would not perform my own wedding. Let me pick up this guitar. And then I'm gonna play that one song. Which one? The one song.
The only one you know on the guitar.
I know several on the guitar, but I play the one, and you guys go, oh, here he goes. Playing the one song he knows. Because I've practiced it so much, I can play it all the time. Uh so you know. Okay. Here comes wagon wheel.
You haven't answered the question.
Uh I'm just saying it wouldn't be me. So I'd have to have somebody else perform. Yeah, yeah. Uh that was probably But I don't know. I'm on the spot. I I you're giving me crazy.
Like Would you pick somebody that we both enjoyed, or would you just be like, no, I'm gonna get a band that only I like? Yeah. Because that's how weddings work.
I'll be enjoying whatever you picked. That's what will happen. No. Yeah. Yeah. No. We got married twenty oh jeez, Josh.
What day is it? Almost 21 years ago. Yeah. Has our musical taste changed? Would we pick the same band today if we got married today?
I would still have I would have bright eyes play. That'd be fun. Like to to have our first dance to a song that we like that would be performed by a band we like live. That would be cool. That would be dope. Yeah.
But would that be entertaining for everybody else in attendance? I don't know. It's not about them. What I what I'm saying is a whole bunch of people would learn about a new band they'd never heard about. Yeah.
I was thinking we could go with unwritten law. Yeah. That's a band we really like. Right. That would be very cool. That'd be a good one. Yeah. They'd put on a good party.
They do some slow stuff. They do some upbeat stuff. That'd be a fun party. You're right. I'll get Scott on the phone. I'll go, hey dude, come play the wedding. I know him.
Oh, do you? Yeah. Okay. Totally cool.
I mean, there's a couple of like smaller groups that would be fun. I think we've talked about like uh our like our our buddy Jeremy Buck. Uh his band would be fun to have. They would be fun. That'd be a good party. Uh I don't know. Stuff like that. Okay. Like so like that.
You wouldn't would you call up Ed Sheeran and say, hey, listen, I know I know. That'd be something. I know you played Taylor's wedding. Do you want to come play mine too? Yeah.
How much 21 years ago, what was he doing? Couldn't tell you. I haven't talked to you. Did he make music 21 years ago?
I don't know. I'm sure he did. I don't think he just one day picked up a guitar and was like, uh, what does this thing do? Well, no. I want to know.
Like 21 years ago, what was he did? He had music out. don't I don't know, Josh. Yeah. I don't. I don't know. I don't know.
Sheeran's history.
Well, his first album came out in 2011. So yes.
We got married in 2005. That's true. So no. Math.
Yeah. His self uh independent uh EP re was released in 2005. But his first album was released September 9th, 2011. So couldn't have had Ed Sheeran. You'll have to pick somebody else.
You could. He was he was making music. He just wasn't the edge of the show.
So we could have afforded him. Exactly. Okay. Got it. Exactly. So yeah, Ed Sheeran. Because he would have been. He would have been cheap.
And we were cheap at our weddings.
Very true. Very true.
There you are. At a pool. Do you shower before you get into the pool? Or do you just jump right on in?
No, I I like to uh pre-wetz. it's not a shower. I'm not soaping up.
You're not soaping. Okay, so that's not a shower. You're just wedding yourself. Right. It's pre-wedding. So does that.
I don't understand. Yeah, so to speak. Yeah. Uh I don't understand it. What do you mean? You don't understand why why do you shower? I I guess you're supposed to wash off maybe a sweat layer or something.
Sweat, lotion.
Because I I I would do that in the locker room, and then I'm gonna go out and I'm gonna set up my blanket, I'm gonna you know, my towel, I'm gonna put up a tent, whatever.
Uh, and then I'm gonna spray on sunscreen, and then I'm gonna go get in the pool. Yeah. So it doesn't make sense. I don't understand. Do you know what I'm saying? I know what you're saying.
I'm trying to figure out why are those rules there, is what you're saying.
Yeah. And I'm sure there's a reason. And I would hope that everybody does pre-wet. But that's what it is. It should say pre-wet before entering the pool, because you're not showering.
Some people do shower. Some people get the soap out and they really do they? Yeah. Do you shower?
Because my experience has been there's no curtains on the pre-wet shower area.
Depends on where you're swimming. I guess so. Now, do you when you get out, do you shower immediately there at the facility? Depends. Or did I bring supplies? Not usually.
Then then I'm gonna rinse off the chlorine water so I post wet and then I dry off and put on my regular clothes. It's a pre and post wet.
I I'm learning that now. Yeah. Uh mine really depends on how cold I am already. So the pre-wet, as you say. Yeah. I go, mmm. No. I don't want to get wet and then have to get into the pool. And then walk to the pool. Because oftentimes it's a bit of a walk to walk from the shower to the power.
It depends on where you're swimming.
And I also don't want to get my towel. I don't want to get my towel pre-wet. Yeah, yeah. I want to keep my towel dry until I do it.
Well, you don't have to dry off. I'm not walking dripping. Yeah. No. Yeah. No, I'm not. Yeah.
I you can keep saying that. I'm not gonna walk dripping. Why? Because I'm not. That's the point of the pre-wet. No, it's not because then you're just gonna get water everywhere, and that's dangerous.
No. It's a pool. That's why no running.
Not in the bathroom though. I'm gonna tell you though. In the in the shower area. You don't want water all over in the shower area.
It's a shower area. It's supposed to be wet.
But then you're walking from the shower all around the bathroom. What? Or the changing room. No. Oh, what are you even talking about? What are you gonna say? Go in clothed, go to locker area,
change into swimsuit, put clothes in locker, grab towel and self, go to pre-wet shower area. Uh-huh. Hang towel, pre-wet, pick up towel, walk out to pool.
Okay. Listen to it.
That's it. I'm not using my towel until I get out of the pool.
That's what I'm saying. That's why I don't want to pre-shower because I go. Don't try off. I'm not gonna walk out dripping. Why? I already said I'm not.
Doesn't make sense. You're gonna go your pre-wetting to get into the pool. You're gonna be dripping when you get out of the pool to walk to your towel.
Yeah, I know, but I don't want to whatever. Whatever.
But also, can we uh can we talk about whatever that floor is made of that they try to make that concrete have some traction on your bare feet and how much that hurts? Yeah, it does. I don't care for that.
Especially for feet as delicate as yours. I have nice soft feet. You have delicate feet. And it hurts. too. You don't often walk barefoot. Right. Now my feet that are always.
You don't even need to wear shoes. I would rather have a sandal or a flip-flop or something.
So get flip-flops. What are you talking about? Now listen to me. Yeah. There was a time during COVID, and we had this routine where we were going to the gym later at night. Yeah. And we were typically the only ones there.
It was a lighter crowd for sure. Right. And then we would go for a we would we would pre-wet before we before we would get in the pool. That's right. After the workout, shower, pool, hot tub. Right. Shower. Shower, shower. Real shower, yes. At the facility at the gym.
Correct. The gym's a different thing.
That was awesome. I know. I loved that routine that we had. Right. That was super.
We weren't doing a morning show. No. And everyone's. Because we were going to the gym at like nine o'clock at night. Yeah. Or later sometimes.
The world had slowed down a little bit. And so we had the time to do that. Right. That was nice. I know. I liked that. Right. Same. That was fun.
Pre and post-wet, though. It's important. Is it? I think so. You think both? I think oh yes, definitely after. You gotta get that cold. For sure after. Yeah.
Um, okay. I'm just maybe I'll take two towels. One for the pre-shower.
That's ridiculous. One for the pool shower. It says that showering with soap before swimming is essential to wash away sweat, lotions, and body oils and prevents these contaminants from reaching the chlorine, which creates harsh chlorinum chloramines. You've heard of them? Which irritate your skin and eyes.
Are you an open your eyes in the pool kind of person? Uh no. There are people who do that. I'm a goggle guy. I'm also a goggle. And listen, sometimes when I put my goggles on in the pool. And listen, I'm not sure.
What? I'm still listening. You've said listen three times. What?
I'm all ears. Oh, I'm not one of those moms who sits on the sideline.
I am a mom who's like, in the pool and trying to do handstands. Yes.
And all that. Yeah. I like it. Diving. Let's see who can hold their breath and push off the side furthest. I know. Yes. Yeah, no, I play in a pool like a kid.
So when I have my goggles on, sometimes I get grossed out by what you can see underwater.
Usually a floating band-aid or two. No big deal. Some hair that gets hit on your hand and you're like, why? Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean unusual stuff. Yeah. Now I gotta get public pools. Shower. Always a treasure hunt. You know?
Yeah, I do. I do know. I don't go to the pool that often. Because I get I get an ick. Yeah, I know.
Yeah, I don't like that.
And the older I get, the more ick I get.
And the more people at a pool, the less I want to be in there. Yeah. I don't mind a water slide because that water's changing quicker. But same way. But just in no, I know, but it I it's filtered, it's moving. I feel less ick about moving water than I do like a lazy river that water's moving too. I know you love a lazy river. But just go into a pool to bob around like a no thanks. I just I just saw this thing.
Tell me, tell me if you would like to participate in this or not. It is a relationship hack, is what they say. So it's like a date. You buddy read a book together. Like literally read out loud to each other. No.
And then you alternate who reads each night. Absolutely not. It's great bonding. No. Good for your brain. It gives you something to talk about and it gets you off your phone. No.
But why? Uh, first of all, I read enough out loud all day to you and to people listening. Uh, because a lot of like, oh, I'll do some research real quick, and then I read the internet. So I've read to you plenty. Uh, for one. Yes.
And we don't need more time doing that. For two, you hate being read out loud too. Hate. And the and uh just a second ago, there was a big word that I went, ah, just make it up. Stumble my way through sounding out the big words. I'm not gonna have you go, no, that word is and I'm like, oh, uh, it doesn't matter. You knew what the word was. I it just creates too much. You think that I was I'm a slower reader than you. Yeah. And that's gonna drive you nuts. Yeah. And I don't want to listen to the story.
No, I either I know. I don't want to read out loud. I spent a lot of time reading out loud to my kids when they were little. Right. Hated it.
And I don't like to read out loud. Just be clear. I didn't mind reading to the kids at all. It's just that like when you are doing chapter books, it takes a long time to do chapter books.
Correct. I don't it's a commitment. Yeah. I don't enjoy. I did enjoy reading to the kids. Yes, let me be clear about that. I don't enjoy reading out loud. I don't like listening to people read out loud to me. Just give me the book and let me look at the words myself.
Give me give me give me kids. That's what I would do. If you were reading to me, I'd be like, nah, let me just look at it. Can I just read it?
No, you can. It's my night to read. Sit down and listen.
No, I can't. I would get so bored. I know you would. I gotta read the words myself or go do something else. I can't just sit there and listen.
That's a terrible idea. I don't do audiobooks for that very reason.
People say you can do stuff while you're listening. I can't. I can't stand people reading to me. I don't really know.
But have you tried an audiobook? Yes, I have. But but recently with with like uh a series of of readers or you know, that are in character
or I haven't, but I want to because we have a friend who works.
Right. And he does audible, yeah.
Voice work for audible. Yeah. So I want to listen to some of the books that he's voiced.
Yeah. Like that having your friend read to you might be different.
That might be different. And he's got a great voice. Right. So, hmm. Hmm. I'm gonna have to try one of his books. Yeah. Because I haven't in a while. And I can listen to podcasts. Right.
But that's conversation. conversational. Different. Yeah. I mean, that's what we do, right? Like, that's a familiar medium. Yeah, no, I I saw that and
I went, no, no, I'm not doing this.
No, I whether I wanted to or not, that's not happening. There's no way you're putting up with that. Let me read this. Hold on. Let me read. Hold. It's my night to read.
I just don't think that we'd ever find a similar book that we'd both be interested in reading. Yeah. I don't think that we would.
What if we found one we both didn't like? We're like, we're we're we're not even into it. We just picked randomly.
This is genius. I have a coworker who, and this is so smart, and I wish I had thought of this myself, but she would read out loud to her kids, and then she got tired of reading out loud. And so she started a book club with just the three of them. Her and her two kids. And they each have the book and they read silently. Right at their own speed.
At their own speed, and then they get together when they're all finished and have a little book club meeting. And I think that's adorable and smart. And I'm sad I missed out on that opportunity. You could still do it. Yeah, but it'd be good.
Get the kids off their phones. It's all the reasons you said that would work. Instead of reading out loud, it's a family book club. Then you gotta have four copies. Would you participate? Maybe.
In that. You're not much of a reader. You have to do an Audible.
Maybe. I don't do audio books either, but like I I have the audio book for Project Hell Mary, for example. Like I would like to go through that. I saw the movie, love the movie. I think the book would be great. Just haven't. Let's do that.
I bet the kids would be into that book. Okay. That's the first book club. Wow. Let's do it. I'm gonna kick it off. Put it on the calendar. I am right now. We were taking a walk yesterday. Yeah.
Um. And that walk quickly turned into invasive plant. That's a Chinese thistle. That's a that's the bad vine. That's right. Invasive plant. What's the problem? Invasive weed. There's more of that invasive vine.
The city's got to do something about that thistle. They should really cut back these willows. They uh there's too many here. The water could use a little less willow around it. That would be helpful. Who's in charge of this? Well, they've mowed, but they really didn't do a great job. They could have cut back some of this.
Yeah. It was a lot of that for about three miles.
Yeah, we went on a three-mile walk and I pointed out a lot of things.
I should have kept track. I should have counted the amount of times you pointed at.
Look, there's here's the thing that I've noticed about uh people. And and I've noticed this with like neighbors too. Uh so it's it hits real close to home. People will take care of their immediate space for the most part. And uh anything outside of their perimeter, they're like, nah, not my problem. Well so when you're walking down a street and you're behind someone's property on a on a pathway, they go, ah, my yard's good, but the rest of that not my problem.
Well, it technically isn't their problem.
I get it, but that is going to produce more trouble for you on your property. Like I've been working on knocking down noxious things inside and directly outside of my boundary. Yeah. Because I don't want the nasties to make it inside my boundaries.
We had a noxious weed. What's that vine called? Terrible. I can't remember what it's called.
I don't either, but I've been digging it up like crazy.
You have, and I'm winning that battle this year.
You noticed that the neighbors had some kind of creeping over our fence. That's right. I gotta either I'm gonna go knock on their door and tell them to get rid of it, or I'm gonna go do that myself. Yeah.
And you I told them over the fence. I said, hey, I just want you to know this particular vine that is starting to grow up the fence is real bad. It's poisonous. You gotta put on some gloves, and you gotta dig up the root of this thing. And by the way, it's gonna be surprising how big that root is because it's a tuber. And it and it's gonna be big. And they were like, no way. I'm like, yeah, no, for real. Put on gloves. Don't touch the stuff. Dig it up.
I don't know who you've become in 23 years I've known you.
So they dug it up and it was the size of a volleyball, and they went, no way. They were very excited about it. It's surprising when you dig up that tube.
Hey, you gotta get rid of this tuber. Yeah. Invasive weed. You didn't used to do this. I'm a new man. I know I'm full on aware.
Honestly, we have a friend who kind of educated me a little bit on some of this stuff. And then I've been, you know, learning a lot on my own, and having a garden all of a sudden you start caring about this stuff for some reason.
I don't know. It's it's interesting how you you do a garden one year and you're like, that was neat, and then the next year you have a bigger garden, and then all of a sudden you walk around for three miles pointing out how many different plants shouldn't be in existence right now in this area, and how badly the willows need cut back. They're out of control.
There's there's a good vine and a bad vine, and they look similar. They're different.
They have different leaves, different berries, different flowers. I mean, they're they're very distinct. They look similar to me. The Virginia creeper does not look like that other one. They look the same too. And the Virginia creepers from the grape family. Did you know that? I sure didn't.
Please tell me more gardening things. What else would you like to know? Whatever you'd like to share.
I have those little uh chubby cucumbers growing. They're pretty fun. Showed you those. But I think my potato buckets are causing too much shade on my computer on my computers on my cucumbers. Yeah. So I've I'm trying to figure out how to get them more afternoon sunlight.
I just want to I just want to take a walk and enjoy it.
Put in earbuds, I guess. I can give you a guided tour. I'll record it. I'll go on the walk beforehand. Kind of set a pace, and then you can put in earbuds and listen to my audio narration.
If you look to your right,
it'll be to your left, you'll see overgrown willows. And along this path, you'll notice there's uh, you know, an unkept.
You want to have a good time. Go on an afternoon walk with Josh. Oh boy.
Well, and then when the people let their yard get like real tall grass and go to seed like that. I go, what are you doing? Get out there and mow.
Who cares? It's their house. I don't care. It's out of control. Who cares?
They're gonna have to get out there with a weed eater first, knock it all down, and then mow. That's a lot of work. Their work, not yours. But they've they've let it go, and they should have kept up on it.
Maybe they've got some extenuating circumstances. Perhaps.
But you don't. guys go knock and say, hey, would you like me to knock that down? There you go. See? I saw a guy uh who has a bunch of goats. And you can rent them for your property. It'll bring them over.
And in a few hours, they'll have knocked it all down for you. Yeah. No way.
Yeah, way. You can rent his goats and they'll come eat your weeds. And thistle. They eat the thistle too.
And in like a matter of like between five and eight hours, depending on the side of your size of your yard, they will have it down to nothing. Really? Yes. But he brings over a lot of goats. They eat the thistle? Yeah. Doesn't that hurt? I guess not. Goats. He's got a lot of them. I'm talking like it's 50 plus goats that show up.
It's so smart of him to be like, I gotta rent these out.
It's like a mowing service, but it's animals. They need to eat anyway. So Awesome. Yeah.
we don't have any we don't have any need to rent goats.
I mean, I could put them on the edge of the field back here where I got a bunch of stuff they could eat. Yeah. I want to rent those goats.
Kind of. Well, it's not on my property. I can't put them out in the not my property. I can't like bring your goats over. I don't own this land, but have them eat all this. I can't do that. can't You can't like send goats places. Like, hey, go over to this guy. I don't like him much. Have him go eat his garden.
No, he's not eating the garden. He's eating the thistle. Yeah. That's so smart. But they'll eat everything. They they just eat. Yeah, I know that. Yeah. Interesting. So smart. Yeah. You're so happy about it.
It's a good thing I found out about. I don't have a use for it right now. But it's kind of uh it's kind of cool to know.
Keep that in your back pocket.
Yeah. Rent a goat or 50. Maybe it was 80. It was a lot of ghosts. No way. It was a lot of ghosts.
So many goats to rent. It's a ton. That is genius. Yeah. Anyway, that's a thing. Okay. I was watching a TikTok video, and this woman on here says, Women always talk about their icks about guys, but I want to hear guys icks about girls. And so I went, hmm, interesting. Let's hear what this has to say. And so I looked in the comments, and some of the comments are blaming the stars for their personality. Oh.
These are these are uh icks that guys have with uh with women. Yeah, got it.
Uh moving slow, like with no sense of urgency or just a general lack of awareness. Okay. Uh then they said snake hands. What's arms? What is snake arms? I don't necessarily know. I had to look it up because it said somebody said snake arms, and then somebody said bird hands. And I'm bird hands are these. Like this? Yeah. So bird hands are like pincer hands, so it's an animated hand gesture where a speaker brings their fingertips together to a point. Oh mimicking a pecking motion.
Yeah. I've seen people talk like that. Yeah. So that's this is terrible. Quit doing this. Okay, yeah, I get it.
Snake arms. I don't quite still know what this is. Snake arms. It's almost like a body roll, kind of.
That's what I'm seeing. It's like a again, is it a like a talking thing?
But I don't know. I've never seen anybody do this. So I just I I don't know. A lot of the internet is saying it's uh like a belly roll type of dance. Like if you belly roll. Not belly roll, like belly dancing. Snake arms. But why isn't it going when are you gonna do that?
Who's out there just doing snake arms?
I don't know. That might be the incorrect. Okay. The incorrect.
I agree. That's what it sounds like to me as well. It's strange. I've never seen it, and I'm grateful for that. Because I don't want to see people running around doing snake arms.
I thought it was gonna be something like if I went to the comments, it was gonna be icks or like she never cooks me dinner or no, those are just complaints.
Yeah. I did not expect to see snake arms or bird handles. You never do. And then I had to look it up because I didn't know what they were. Another ick is being rude to service workers, and that's always gonna give me the ick too.
Yeah, I agree. And they're saying that's more often a woman that does that.
No, I don't think they're saying that. That's just something that gives them the like I'm done with you. Got you. I don't like that either.
No, that's just uh terrible behavior.
We had a friend who was rude to a service work girl just the other day, and I went, hmm. That's not. Let's don't do that.
I guess I don't remember. Yeah. Oh, I'll tell you about it. Oh, okay. That sounds good. I'll remind you. You'll remind me off air. Yes. Oh, I remember. Yeah, yeah. See? I remember. And I went, mmm.
We don't do that here. Right. Yeah, nah. You gotta go somewhere else to do that. Yeah. With different people. Yeah, not with us.
Nah. We don't I treat people nice. Uh, but anyway, um, I'm trying to think of some some icks that I have, and I I mean, not really. Like, I'm I I the barefoot at work thing drives me nuts.
We've talked about that. I don't care for that when people kick off their shoes and walk around the office, and it's always women that are like, oh, I'm just comfortable in the office. I'm gonna walk around barefoot. I'm like, put your shoes back on. That's always bugged me. But my they're so pointy. Wear sneakers then. Yeah, yeah. They don't match my look. Quit walking around barefoot. Yck.
Yeah. Yeah. A yuck, Mandy. You shouldn't say that when they come to barefoot. Yeah. Yeah. And then just point. Yeah. Yeah. So girls. Do they do you do you see that often? I haven't seen it lately. Okay.
A previous place I worked, I saw it a lot more often.
And they walk around all over the office. Yeah.
To the copy machine, to the break room, to the front desk to talk to people, office to office. Ick.
Yeah, that's I mean, I
mean, it's one thing under your own desk. Yeah. If you have a to the floor desk where no one can see your doggos, ugh. Yuck. Don't like it.
Everybody that's listening to Josh right now, everybody that works with him. No. Women. Is it different if it's a woman or a man?
If a man strolls in barefoot, go home.
I'm gonna go talk to Victor from K Bear. Gross. Mr. orthopedic shoes. Have him walk in here. Ugh. Yuck. Rude. Don't be rude about his orthopedic shoes. Yeah, you're being a bully. I'm not being a bully. Yeah, you are.
But you know the feet in there are not great. I'm gonna go tell them to come barefoot. Ugh. Yuck.
And peaches from K-Bear too. K Bear dudes. I can smell them already. Take them home. Go home. Wash your feet. Yuck. Now I just want to do a parade of feet around here. No. That's awful. Sending emails. No. No.
Everybody's gonna be like, why do you want a foot parade? That's weird. It's strange. No.
Feet parade, feet parade.
No, I'm not having a feet parade. That's a big ick.
You don't have to be involved. You just have to watch. I'm not.
I'll turn away and I'll look at the wall until the parade has gone by. Yuck.
Something came up the other day. I think you were bugging me, being annoying. And I reached over and I just pinched your nose.
Really hard. You say just pinched, like you didn't like wrench down on my nose. I just pinched it. And it hurt. I just pinched it. It hurt.
You had a big fit about it and said, oh, that really hurt. Yeah. Why did you have to pinch my nose so hard? You pinched it hard. I just pinched it. Real hard. And then you were kind of babying around for a while.
Listen, here's what happens. You are the baby of a family, and I am an older sibling of family. Uh-huh. And what are you trying to get at? I'm trying to say you, as the small sibling in your family, were pestered and became an equally abundant pest to your siblings.
Specifically your brother. And so you're started it. Listen, I know you're the baby. Your level of fight back is is little sister. It's the baby of the family fight back. When you don't need to be so aggressive because I'm not serious.
Your brother. Right now. I'm not your brother. Because most of the time, you bug me when I'm in the middle of something. And I say, hey, I'm trying to do this thing. And you go, I'm not going to
be able to do that. Quit being so cute in the kitchen.
I'm not keeping you from doing this. Right. I'm not keeping you from doing dinner. And I'm like, leave me alone. Quit being so cute in the kitchen. Stop. And then you don't. And then I go, Well, now I'm gonna fight back. And then I fight back and you go, oh. Because you- Why When did you hurt?
You go to a hundred. You could go to like 20.
That'd be fine. Stop when I say stop. Quit being so cute about it. Learn to tolerate pain.
Quit being so cute.
That's what I said to you. I said, I think I can handle pain more than you.
I disagree. Because when there's a fight back element, it it doesn't need to be a hundred. You could tone it down. You don't have to be at a hundred because I'm not meeting your hundred. Bro.
Bro. Pinching your nose was a hundred. It was very aggressive. Oh.
You were trying to rip it off my face.
It was not. I just reached it.
The adrenaline and all of the stuff hits, and you go, ah. At a hundred.
Yeah, because when I've said it down. Repeatedly, don't do that. Please stop. Stop doing my face.
Quit being so cute.
So and then I go, ah! and I pinch your nose and you go, oh.
I'm getting It about fell off.
Pinched my nose. didn't say it Like that.
No. And then you said that. I've never made that noise in my life. 20 minutes going, oh. Yeah. That really hurt.
Because you were gonna rip it off my face. Such a baby. Wanna talk about the baby in the family? Let's talk about you. Baby. What? Anyway. You're so rude to me. I'm abused. What did I say? I said, I think I can handle pain more than you.
And you said sure thing. I think you said. What was your response? I said, okay, yeah, sure thing.
No, you said, you said, or I think you're just more, you don't know your own strength sometimes.
You because you go, your eyes just go black. Everything's just black, and you attack at a hundred. And it's like, dude, you don't need to be so aggressive. I'm not attacking you. Settle down. And you're like, ah, it's just gone. Can't even see through the rage.
Yeah, you make me sound like a crazy person. Just handle your pain better. Oh, it's my fault. Okay. Big old baby. Go tell mom or something like that.
Oh, geez.
Our daughter, Emory is babysitting for the first time this morning. Yeah.
Um which seems strange. I mean, she's 16. You grew up babysitting.
From the time I was 11.
Yeah. I was an older brother, so I had to watch my sister and be responsible for that at a younger age.
So it's crazy because now I go, who put me in charge of 11 dude? What? What? Why? In charge of three kids. My first babysitting job was in charge of three kids. And I was like barely older than them. Whew, that mom. You had some faith in me. Or you were desperate.
Well, but you had people fighting over you as a babysitter. Because you were yes, you are gonna brag.
Yes, you do. You love this story. You love that people were like, No, you got her before we did, because they were going on like a double date night. Yeah. Yeah. And uh, you know, that's cool. You but you had like babysitting kits, and you were like good at it.
Like I was good at it. So for her being her first kind of like I've been entrusted to watch these kids for a day. It's kind of a big deal. It's a big deal. Yeah.
She uh she was a little bit nervous, and I was like, they're not you don't even have any babies. Right. You're not gonna be changing any diapers or kids. Making bottles. Yeah. I'm like, they're so easy. All you gotta do is like play some games with them, chill out. Like it's gonna be so chill. Right. Watch a movie, they're going to a movie. Yeah. I'm like, no big deal. This is a pizza cake.
And it's like six hours. It's not even Yeah, right.
She uh she sent me a text this morning and said they want me to make cinnamon rolls. Yeah. The kind in the can from the container that you smack on the table. I've never made those before. I'm cooked. I go, you're not cooked. You've made cinnamon rolls from scratch.
Right. Yeah. This is just easier.
Much easier. You pop open the can, they're already rolled up, put them on the sheet, done. Yeah.
And then when they're done, you let them cool off a little bit, throw the frosting on, bada bing. Pot piece of cake. Yeah. Done. So, yeah, no, she's uh she's gonna do great. She is doing fun. She's been uh I mean, she's like almost four hours into this thing. Yeah, she's almost done. Yeah, she's like halfway through. She'll be fine. She is fine. Yeah.
It just took me took me back when she was talking about what she could do with them. I went, oh, do you want my babysitting kit?
You don't you don't even have it anymore? But you were gonna help her put one together.
I I said, Do you want to take some games or some coloring books or something? And she was like, No, no. I was like, okay, but that was a I was a hot commodity in my
because of your games and coloring books. Here she comes. Mary Poppins rolling up.
I mean, I don't want to brag, but you do. I did you do want to brag.
You could have started a babysitter's club. No, I didn't want to. Because you just wanted all the jobs.
Yeah. There was that's too much responsibility if you start a club.
No, because then you you collect a fee from all of the other babysitters in the babysitter's club.
The multi-level marketing.
And then you have an empire. You just didn't have the entrepreneurial spirit back then. I didn't. I didn't know you didn't have the the business ethics to pull it off. You needed a little bit of uh a little bit of help in that area. You could have had a whole network. I could have.
And you could have been like, that's great. They're gonna pay you, you know, 45 dollars. You gotta give 15 to me. And they go, sweet, I make 30. That's great. And you go, man. look at you.
I could have been collecting 15% on all these right off the top.
Man, and you wouldn't have to work a day in your life. Take me back. I was too different. You would have been a millionaire. I blew it. You could have helped them start their kits. You could have had them buy all their own stuff. You don't have to pay out of the company, out of the club. You have like you handle all of like they call your main number and you go, This is it. CD, you gotta go.
Yeah, I got just Brittany.
You gotta go. You're boom boom boom boom boom. Like, oh, two babies, I got the one for you. It's Stephanie. Let's go. Moving them. Boom, boom, boom. 15% off the top. Man, where were you when I was starting my lawn mowing empire?
Making brochures for my lawn mowing business.
How'd that lawn mowing empire go?
I was making bank for a little while. And then what happened? I you know, summer ended, and I didn't do it the next year. Oh I didn't have the vision to on I wasn't networking. I didn't have a team. It was just me. I was doing the labor and the marketing and all of it. Too much. I it was it was too much for one guy.
Because you could have carried it over in the winter.
Yeah, could have started a whole landscaping company. You blew it. I was 12. You know what happened? Nerf. That's what happened. Super soaker and nerf. And then I went, eh, can't be bothered.
Yeah, I don't want to make any more money. No. I don't even mow my own lawn. I get yelled at.
We moved out of the neighborhood. That changed a lot of things. I went to high school, social life. Yeah. You know, a lot changes. The brochures just collecting dust. Oh. Yeah.
Good plan, I guess. Thanks. No, it's a Good plan.
Would you rather this or that?
Would you rather switch personalities for one day or read each other's minds for one day? It says for five days. I know I changed it. Don't read what I wrote.
Would I rather switch personalities as in you and I? Yeah, you and I. What is the difference between your personality and mine? I'm just curious. You tell me. I'm just saying as we've uh grown together, we've grown the similar.
So I don't know. Like, I mean, we're our own individual people for sure, but I I think we're uh so similar in like a lot of ways, which works to our favor.
I agree, but I think that we do have differences still. Sure. And I think that the way that you talk to people is different than the way that I talk to people. Right.
Yeah, I don't want that for me from you. What do you think? But I also don't want to I don't want to read your mind because your mind is crazy. There's too much going on. What are you gonna do when you read my mind and it's just blank and you're gonna go, what's going on in here?
That sounds kind of nice.
You're gonna you're gonna feel weird for a day, not just one minute or five. I don't want to read your mind. That's but I'm just saying, like you're like what are you gonna do when you sit there and you go, he really is thinking about nothing.
Like, what? And then you're gonna feel foreign about it, and then you're gonna be like, I want to overthink, and you're gonna be like, but it this brain doesn't do that. And then you're gonna feel real weird because you're stuck in a non-functioning brain compared to where yours is. I'm gonna be overwhelmed. I'm gonna have an anxiety get there.
You are hey, rewind though. Because you said I don't want to, I don't want to do that.
Yeah, the personality thing, the way you talk to people versus the way I talk to people. I'm not saying that you do anything wrong or weird, but the overthinking thing, like the personality of it is like I'm gonna have to think about six things before I say one, and then I'm gonna have to think about 20 things I didn't say after I said one thing.
Yeah, and then with the I'm not dealing with that. No.
the conversation number person is left.
I could I could have said this. Yeah, I don't need that. That's a personality thing I don't want to deal with. So I want neither of these things. Rude. I'm not being rude. It feels a little rude. No.
Yeah, kinda. You brought up talking to people, and then I went, I don't want to do that that way. Because it's great to just have an interaction and then move on with your life.
Well, you have to you have to pick one. Switch personalities or read each other's minds. I want the five-minute mind. No, you can't. It's the day. Oh exhausting.
This feels like a lose lose.
Yeah, but then maybe if you read my mind, you'd be like, whoa, she really is thinking about us all the time. She's planning stuff for us.
I've I've never said that you don't think that. I've never been you never think of anybody else.
I've never said that. I know I know that's not what I was trying to say. Um, I don't know what I was trying to say.
Oh, there wasn't. See, I don't want this. I don't want whatever is happening right now. I don't want that. I don't want to be responsible for that.
You have to. No.
You have to pick one. No way.
Switch personalities. I'm picking that one. Yep. And what are you gonna do with that? Oh. Oh I don't know.
Have a casual relaxed day. Think about a garden. Know a bunch about weeds. Oh boy. Sounds fun. Yeah, you're gonna have a nerdy time.
Sounds it sounds okay. For a day. I'm gonna take it. Give me your personality. All right. Sorry to have my coworkers. I'm gonna be a real bore. What? Just kidding.
Uh, did you do something new with the laundry this go round? No. Do we get a new soap? No. What's different? What? About what? The smell of my shirt is different. I don't know.
Nothing has changed. Nothing. I I disagree. Nothing has changed. This shirt smells different.
It smells like it's been washed somewhere else. I haven't even.
I haven't even gone to the store to get laundry detergent in. It smells nice.
But uh it's a strange smell. It's the same one. Would you do something different? Nope. What's different? Nothing.
I've literally done nothing different. I don't know. Let me come smell you. All right. It smells different.
I mean again, it smells nice. I'm not, I'm not upset about the way that it smells, but it certainly smells different. Yeah. It Taste smells the same. Taste. It doesn't smell the same. This doesn't smell like our laundry.
Well, I don't I don't know what to tell you because nothing has changed.
Something's different. I don't know if we're using a new kind of soap or what, but something.
I just said we are not. Same Costco brand we've always used.
Just I don't know. It smells different. Where have you been? This has been is the more appropriate.
No, because this shirt I wore last weekend in Utah went into the laundry and then was uh laid on my pillow for me to put away and put it away on the hanger. It's been in my closet. Took it out to wear it today, and I went, this shirt smells different.
I don't I don't know what to tell you.
Maybe this shirt just retained scent differently, maybe. It's possible. Like my t-shirts maybe don't hold on to it as much.
I feel like it's a nice shirt. We're both wearing white button-ups today. Look at that. Yes. I was just gonna say the the front pocket area could use like a little I wasn't gonna iron it. Just to hit with the iron. No.
And it's not a pocket, it's the It's the button area. Yeah, that's what I meant. Yeah, I know. It I just can't be bothered. Mine takes too much time.
It's supposed to have the wrinkled look, but I feel like every time I wear this shirt, people go, should have hit that with an iron. But it's supposed to look wrinkled. Has anyone ever said that? No. No one is thinking that.
But I not one person looks at it and goes, yeah, you should have ironed that. Oh, if somebody says that to me today. No one has no one thinks that.
I should have ironed the sleeves because like, I don't know.
It's supposed to look wrinkly. Yeah, I you just said that. I know, but it would look weird with smooth sleeves.
No, not the sleeves. Like this part is supposed to like be upturned. Yeah. It's like your button part right there. Like this should be. That's what it's supposed to look like. Oh, you're not listening to what I'm saying.
I'm telling you, it looks normal. Okay, fine. That's you don't understand. Why would you iron it? Then it wouldn't look normal. It looks straight, all flat, starchy. Which is not that shirt.
No, look at this. Because the it's supposed to be ironed up a little bit, and this keeps folding down.
So I should I don't see it folding down at all.
I've been working on it all morning.
You gotta come over here and pinch my nose.
Maybe settle down. So aggressive. Take it down a notch.
We're just talking about wrinkles. It's okay. Settle down. So anyway, my shirt smells different. Is what I was trying to get at. Did you spray it with something? No.
nothing No, nothing is different. All right. It smells different. I smell different today.
Case anyone wants to know. We're using some kind of new laundry soap or something. Something's up. I don't know what yet. I'll get to the bottom of it. She won't tell me the truth. But that's fine. I'll figure it out.
Yeah, get get to work, detective.

Nothing is different. Nothing. It smells different. I gotta go.
All right, let's wrap up today's show. Have a good Friday. Have a good weekend. Woo-hoo! Yeah, thanks for hanging out with us. We will be back on Monday. Wonder what my shirt will smell like then.
I can't wait. Different, I bet. Have a good day. Have a good one. We'll see you Monday. Bye-bye.
