Full show transcript:
Today is National Rotisserie Chicken Day. Says who? Says the internet. And our daughter hates rotisserie chickens. She thinks they look gross. She thinks they smell gross. If we have to walk past them in the store, she covers her nose. I wanted to on April Fool's day get a rotisserie chicken and put it in her room. In her room? Yeah. Why? Because I thought it would be funny.
Look, I'm looking at everything that I, like I have a whole bunch of different places where I find out what day it is. I don't see rotisserie chicken day on here. It says it is. Are you sure? I'm positive.
Okay, June 2nd, 2026, National Rotisserie Chicken Day. I'm on nationaltoday.com.
All right. Well, I'm on daysoftheyear.com. And it's Love Island Day. It's Game Show Day. It's Bearfoot Day. It's Olive Day. It's Dinosaur Day. These are all, like there's tons of days. Okay. Well, I'm on nationaltoday.com.
Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Okay. Here's the problem. The calendar was yesterday. When I look at today, it's National Rotisserie Chicken Day. It's also Republic Day Italy. Okay. Rocky Road Day. No, no, no, no. Greyhound Day. We talk about leave the office early day. What are you known to knowing?
I'm, we don't need to talk about all of the other days. It's not Bubba. We're talking about National Rotisserie Chicken Day.
It's Bubba Day. Listen to me. It's Volkswagen Bus Day. What? I'm listening. What? Tell me about your chicken prank.
I'll accept your apology now. Thank you. Tell me about your chicken prank. Okay. I was going to get her a chicken on April Fool's Day and leave it in a room, but then I was like, that sounds kind of me, but she hates when I buy Rotisserie Chicken and, you know, cut it up and debone it to put it in meals. But I love it. It's so convenient.
It's easy. It's cooked. It's nice.
She went to her boyfriend's house for dinner the other day and I said, when she came back, I said, how was it? She was telling me a couple of things about the evening and then she goes, it was the food good.
And she goes, yeah, but his mom used her Rotisserie Chicken.
And she goes, then it was good, but she left it on the counter. She couldn't handle it.
She loves a Rotisserie Chicken. So what we should do is get a couple and then we'll clean one. See, the reason we're going to get two is so that she smells one in the kitchen and then she's like, oh great. But then she doesn't know about the one in the room. The hidden one. The hidden one until after dinner and she's like, why does it still smell like Rotisserie Chicken? And then you got to like put it somewhere where she's not going to like see it or whatever.
It'll just be around. But then you'd be like, hold on, I got to go get more chicken. And then you go into her room and pull the chicken out from under her pillow. And go like, ta-da, more chicken.
It's been in your room. It'll stick up her whole bed all night.
It'll be warm though.
Or we hide it somewhere in her room and then forget about it. That sounds awful. And then it sits there for weeks.
I think the dog will find it. It's not going to sit there for weeks. The dog will find the Rotisserie Chicken. Good prank. Prank master.
Anyway, happy National Rotisserie Chicken Day.
Yeah. And all those other days I told you about that you were super excited to hear about.
If you see our daughter, make sure you wish her happy National Rotisserie Chicken Day. She loves it.
Let's go ahead and kick off the show. Yeah, let's. What time do you want to get out of here today? Why? I'm just thinking it might be early. Why is that? Well, let's leave the office early.
Is it? Don't go telling everybody. No, we have to tell everyone.
It's National Leave the Office early day. Everyone.
You should know about this. You think so? Tell your boss. Hey, hey, I gotta go. Tell everyone you know. I gotta get out of here. Get out. Go enjoy the sunshine.
Let's leave the office early day. Get out. I heard about it on the radio.
Yeah, it's a federal holiday. Is it? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Don't you know that they just made it a federal holiday?
No, I'm going to find out a little bit more about it though. Okay.
What time do we leave?
That's what I'm asking. Noon? It's a quirky national day intended to be an incentive to those who often work more than 40 hours each week, reminding you to take a little time for yourself every once in a while and hashtag leave the office early.
Hashtag? Are people using hashtags still?
I mean, they did here.
Okay, let's get out of here right now.
All right. If you leave the office early, what are you going to do? Anything I want.
Go to the park. Okay. Go sit on the deck and read a book.
Nice. You were doing that when I got home last night.
Yeah, because it's pretty great. Okay. Go have a treat. Go have a... All right. I can do whatever I want.
Yeah. Recommended things. You mentioned read a book. Take a nap is on here. Catch up on shopping. That sounds like not it. Catch up on shopping? Yeah. Oh, I'm going to leave the office. I'm going to go catch up on groceries.
No, thanks. Spend time outside on a nature walk. Meet with some friends. Catch up with them. Share adventures on social media. No. Go to that thing you've been wanting to see. Oh, that thing.
Whatever that means. Oh, that thing.
When did this become a thing?
I don't know, but I like it and I want to play this game.
How do you get away with it?
I've told you before that I think this is the best motivational thing that a boss can do is to just on a random day be like, hey, get out of here early. We're shutting the office down.
Go see a movie. It's nice outside.
Get out of here. Don't enjoy the day. Yeah. Right? Yeah. Bosses, listen up.
Listen up.
Pay attention. Specifically my boss. Hey, Kevin. Yeah. Hey, Kevin. Woman to man. The best thing is. What do you say? The biggest morale you can do is to tell your employees to leave early. We don't want lunch. Pizza party?
I take a pizza party right now.
No, just let me leave. I'll go have my own pizza party.
Let's all leave and have a pizza party on our own. You don't want to hang out with the people?
I've hung out with the people a lot.
That's true.
That is true. I see them 40 hours a week. Also true. Let me have my own pizza party. That's a fact.
Well, anyway, good luck with it. Hope you can sneak away. Good luck, everybody. You just got to un-make-in a quilt. I think you'll like good news today. Okay. 35-year-old, no, she is not 35. After 35 years of teaching, Kim Roth is retiring from the classroom at Westwood Elementary School.
This is in Ankney, Iowa. And to celebrate her career and all the impact that she's had on students through the decades, she is leaving her second grade students something that they can treasure for years to come. She has made each of the students a handmade quilt. Holy moly. Stitch with love, memories and personal touches unique to each child. How many kids? Let's see.
I don't know if it'll tell me, but I'll find out. So she has spent months creating custom quilts for every student in the class, and the heartfelt gifts were presented ahead of her final day of teaching, giving each child a lasting reminder of their time together. And for Kim, the project combined two of her greatest passions. She said, I love teaching and I love quilting, so it gives a little to share the love with them as they leave. And I end my chapter of teaching. She also wrote personal notes to each student, adding another layer of meaning to her farewell. As her retirement approached, she discovered saying goodbye would be much more emotional than she expected. She says it's a very heartwarming thing. It makes this harder than I thought it was going to be, but I'm excited to start the new chapter in my life. I thought it would just be at the end of the year and I'd walk out the door and they're making it a little bit harder than that.
Dude, I finished my quilt and I looked at my machine and I said, I never want to see you again.
Oh, you do. I know because yesterday I went downstairs to kind of do some cleaning up and I changed my foot and I said, there you go, we're back to normal. And I gave it a nice pat and I said, thanks for all your help.
But I will say that I did have somebody after I showed my quilt to somebody yesterday. She said, are you going to make me a baby quilt? And I said, no, no, it's too soon to even ask.
Yeah, why would you even? So in the video here, I'm watching, there's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven. I mean, there's 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, there's probably 20 kids.
Bro, she's ambitious.
Yeah, yeah, she is. That's crazy. I will say, like you made a twin sized quilt, right? These ones are a little smaller than that. Not that that means anything. It's still gonna work. Because they still take a ton of work, but every single top is different. It isn't like she made one pattern over and over and over. Each one is unique. Dude, that's so cool. And so the fabrics that she chose were specific to each student.
It's really cool. That's so nice. Yeah, they're probably, if I had to guess, they're probably like a three foot by four foot or four foot by five foot tops. Okay. Something like that. Okay. So they're, you know. They're small. Yeah, but still. But still. She has to still. And it's expensive.
Fabric is not cheap. No, that's quite the gift.
Oh, congrats on your retirement. Good news.
You and I have been busy. You've been quilting. Your hands are all stiff. You were just telling me.
Just one.
Your finger won't bend. What happened?
I don't know. I think it's just because... It bent there. Well, yeah, but it hurts. Ah. I was trying to brush...
So you can't make a fist. No, I was trying to brush my teeth this morning. I couldn't even grip my teeth. So it's on your right hand. Yes. And it's your middle right finger. That's the one.
Yeah, the brody. And it hurts. Yeah. And it won't bend right. No. That's unfortunate. I know. So...
I am looking at mine. Or fortunate, depending. I guess. I've got cuts on all my fingers. What happened to you? I've been building a greenhouse. My hands hurt. I got a pain in my thumb here.
What is going on? And I, to be fair, did not do as much yesterday as I have over the weekend. I did way more on Sunday than I did yesterday. Well, you had more time. Right, but I still... I was out there turning the ratchet, getting things put together. I should, this afternoon, I should have it done before you get home.
That would be great. That's my goal. I have not helped you at all, and I'm sorry. That's fine.
You were busy.
I was busy on Sunday. And then last night you were cold. Yeah, I couldn't be... I couldn't help last night. It was too cold.
Yeah, you were sitting outside reading your book on the deck. It was nice. The sun was setting. Like, it was really...
It was a little chilly, but I had a sweater. You had a blanket going? No, just a sweater. Yeah, I was worried. Okay, she disappeared quick. I got home and poof, there she went. And I went, okay, good to see you. And then you were hanging out, you were talking to me for a little while, and then I looked up and you were gone. You didn't even say goodbye. Well, you were busy. And I actually did try to talk to you a couple of times and I got no response.
You were too quiet. I was too far away.
You were too far away and you were too busy.
Were you wearing shoes? No, I had socks on. So you weren't going to come and see me because you'd get mulch in your socks? Yeah.
And plus also, it was time for a bath.
Apparently, because that's where I found you. Yeah, my back hurt and I was like, and I'm cold. Yeah. Let's go relax in a tub.
So I finished up what I was working on and I went, I'm going to go see where she went. And I went inside and I'm like looking and I see a light from the bathroom and I went, are you in there taking a bath? You went, yep. All right. Duh. There you are. Found you. Look at one place. Did you soak your hands?
No, I should have though. Yeah. And some Epsom salt.
I don't know. I don't want, I've got so many scrapes. We had limes for dinner. I had to be real careful. I know.
I mean, I don't have scrapes, but I did have a line.
Oh, and you tried to squeeze it. Yeah. How'd that go?
Not so good. This finger, it really hurts. I don't know what I've done.
Well, at one point you were rubbing your wrists and I said, how's your carpal tunnel? And then I got out the cool looking carpal tunnel brace and you probably had that on for a minute.
Yeah, I didn't. Yeah, I was like, I can't work like this. I ripped it off. All right.
We could split it. I could tape it to another finger.
I was going to say that idea. You were. What does that actually do? Immobilizes it. Immobile.
Correct.
Okay. Not it mobilizes. Immobile. Who says that?
We're going to tape it up. It mobilizes it. No.
Immobilize. Does that help it heal quicker, you think?
I don't even know what it's. But it stops you from being able to bend it.
I don't know what needs to be healed. I can't tape it to another finger. I can't work like this. How am I going to type? I got to type for my jobs. I don't know. No, I can't do that.
You have the tape on for about a minute.
I just don't even know what I've done except I honestly think it's just from pushing fabric through a machine. And it's like, no, I'm so tired. I can't move anymore. I think I've just strained the muscle.
Well, you want to talk about some other aches and pains. I got a bad elbow. And my knees are like, dude, I didn't realize how much of building a greenhouse would be done on the ground, but almost all of it. And then you start building the walls vertically and then you got to attach everything to the bottom. So I've been on the floor a lot. And that's where my body's like, dude.
How's your back?
How's your hips? How's your knees? Mostly my knees. My hips and back, I haven't really had a problem.
Listen, don't stop moving because I say, why don't you stop moving?
That's what they say. That's the end. That's what they say.
Got to keep moving. I'm 44 years old.
Man, I tell you, I feel a lot more recovery time than I like I used to be, I'll just take a sleep and I'll feel good in the morning. Now I sleep and I wake up and I go, I can't get out of this bed.
I know. What is wrong with my body? I feel worse than I did when I went to bed. Now my body's like, dude, no, go back to bed. You're not ready yet. So that's something I'm learning and not excited about.
Time to get that old trusty water bottle out.
The hot water bottle? That sounds nice, doesn't it? Yes. All right, I sent you a link. You can go ahead and click on that and I'll explain what's going on. So back in 2010, there was a study that was published in biology letters.
It's research at Northumbria University. And what they did is they used these 3D avatar models that they programmed to do different dance moves. So like motion tracking style dancing, they removed all identity on the avatars. So they have no facial expressions. They're just like a kind of a plastic looking body.
Okay. There's no clothes. So they're just a blobby looking dancing avatar.
And they made a bunch of these and then they had women come in and rate them to say, which dances do you think are the most attractive? All right, you have that open? Yeah, I got it open. So go ahead and hit the little to the right thing. And let me know what you think about this dancing. Because what you're watching in this video is the number one most attractive dances that men can do to attract women. And with prom coming up, I thought, you know, maybe this would be important.
Listen, there was a couple of years ago, leading up to prom. We were really good at social media during that time. Oh, is that right? And we did a couple of videos where we were teaching people how to do some dance moves. That's right. You had squash a bug dance move. And I had, I don't remember what I had, hands in the air.
Probably that checks out.
Okay, I also want to say that last night as I was cooking dinner, a good song, I turned on some music and a good song came on. And I started to dance in the kitchen, except I was kind of doing some Josh moves. And I was like, oh, I'm dancing like Josh. So smooth. Because you do like, you do this thing with your hands. Okay. And you kind of like move your hands back. What does that mean? Like you're rolling it on back, rolling it on. Okay.
We'll take a look here at this video because it starts with a running move. Yes. Which I thought that's timely, a running man type dance. I don't know. I just restarted. So it's running and then he does like this. It said they had a good neck movement. It's less about hips. It's more about knees and neck and plenty of arms. There's a ton of arm movement in this video. Okay.
Hold on. It says the highest rated dancers weren't doing complex moves, but they showed larger and more varied movements in the neck and torso. That's what I'm saying. And they suggested these movements may subconsciously signal traits like strength, health and confidence. Yeah.
Is that what you see when you look at this? Do you see health, strength and confidence?
Not so much.
You know? No. Look at him go. I'm seeing it.
Okay. Now I want you to do these dance moves.
I don't think my arms can move like that.
I like the one where he kind of like one hand goes back and one hand goes forward. All right. So he's doing like that.
I want to see the other examples. The ones where they were like, it's not that. Yeah, me too. If this is the one they were like, yeah, this is top tier.
I also want to see an actual person make these moves. Okay. Because I want to see what it looks like with an actual person and not a blob person. Right.
I don't know. It's pretty smooth.
It is pretty smooth. I mean, I'm going to try and see if I can learn these moves. I'm
pretty sure I can do that running man thing at the beginning. Yeah. There was a hint of robot in there for a second.
I feel like I can do the side kick thing.
There is like a, like a hip, you know, you know, like a bang bang, you know, there's a couple of hip bang bangs in there.
We got to, we got to work on some dance moves for prom.
You know what dance move I could do. What? You know the park ranger cartoon where he's got the bears cleaning up all the garbage in the park.
The bump bump.
First you put it up, then you put it in the back. Yeah. That one. Yeah. I think I could work that one in. You could. We could. Bump bump. Yeah. It's just a hip bump.
That's right. First you're in a nanananan.
Bump bump bump. Don't do that unless you've got somebody else's consent first, Josh. Don't just go up to random strangers.
No, you can't just walk up and go bump bump to the side of them. No. No, that's, that's rude.
Well, anyway. We got to practice some, we got to practice some of our prom dance moves.
That's right. Prom is Saturday. It's going to be at the waterfront at Snake River Landing, 8 p.m. to 11. Go to klce.com if you still need ticket info and everything. Free tickets are available. You can buy your tickets online.
You can buy them at the door. But get your tickets and we'll see you on Saturday. It's going to be fun.
8 to 11. And again, all the details are at klce.com. We've got them on our socials so you can get tickets there.
You can RSVP to the event on Facebook. You know all the stuff. Yeah. It's coming up on Saturday. We want to see you there. Practice your dance moves. Bump bump. All right.
Oh, go ahead. Oh, no, what were you going to say? You go ahead. Okay. There's a social media, a hypothetical question.
Oh, I love hypotheticals.
They're my favorite. You can only listen to one type of music for a whole year, but I'm going to give you the options you don't get to pick. What? The options.
Do people on the internet get to choose?
Well, I'm going to tell you the options. The four options. What would you pick if you could choose anything? You would pick your like, I don't even know what that genre is. It's your fishing, hiking music. That's real slow. It's not country. It's just kind of a, I don't know. I don't know what the genre is. It's just a real campfire folk music, baby.
I don't know what it's called, but I just love it.
It is campfire folk music for sure.
Yeah. It's that or I would pick. I've really been on kind of a punk rock kick lately. When I'm, when I'm in my headphones or when I'm driving in the truck by myself, I've been, been kind of punk rock and out a little bit, which has been kind of fun. I haven't been in that mode for a while and a couple of things came up and I went, yeah, I want more of that. And so I've, I've been kind of listening to some fast drumming. Okay.
Okay. Do you want a symbol? I have a car symbol. No. I have two.
I know you do. You have one. Okay. You have one for you and one for your passenger.
Yeah. I need to take the passenger one out. I've, I've, well, I've kind of determined I don't like the passenger to have one. It's just fun when I do.
Okay. So what are you choosing if you can choose and then let's go through the choices.
I just have to pick the nineties alt music. That's what I listen to. Nineties alternative. Yeah. That's, that's my jams. Okay. That's what I'm, you know. That's,
that's what makes you feel like you're center.
Ever clear. Sure. Okay. Ready? Yeah. Here's the four options that you have to pick. Mumble rap. No. Post 9-11 country. No. Christian death metal. What is that? AI generated EDM.
These are the four choices.
They're all awful. Aren't they? Wow. I don't know even actually what any of these are, but you got to pick. You have to. I will tell you that the internet, most of them, like it was, it was almost a four way tie, but there was one winner by the skin of its teeth and that was Christian death metal.
That sounds the most unique.
No, they all sound unique. No. I'll tell you that.
Like the, you said post at 9-11 country. Yeah. That is going to be very sad. Yeah, I know. I don't want to have to listen to that sad music for a year.
No way. And I also... That's just a real not fun mood. And I would like to, I'd like to not be in that mood. EDM is just noise. But AI generated EDM is going to be terrible.
I don't know about that. I feel like I'm going to pick... I think that could have potential. Is that the one yourself? But it's just going to be...
Just noise. No rhythm. Yeah, I know.
No, it will have rhythm. It's, it's ones and zeros. It can make ones and zeros. But I don't want to listen to that.
I'm going to go for the mumble rap. That's what I'm picking. It's all bad. What give me an example? Do you have an example? Yeah.
Okay. So, I'm trying to find some artists. Okay. Lil Uzi Vert. Oh, of course. Playboy Cardi. Of course. Future. Young Thug. Migos. Those guys all mumble rappers.
Everybody's heard of them. Yep.
Lots of auto-tune. Lots of rhythmic cadence. Words you cannot understand. Barely decipherable vocals. That act as a texture element to the beat. You're a lyrics person. You're not choosing that.
I'm not going to choose that. But I also, I'm not choosing the death medal because I hate death metal.
I, but I think that one might be okay to like deal with. Have I had to? If I can't have my campfire. For an entire year. Yeah. I'm just going to not listen to it. You have to. No.
Every time you get in a car, it's just there. Right.
No, I understand. I will just turn it off. You can't. Yes, I can't. You can't. It doesn't say I have to listen to it at all times. For a year. Whenever I do listen to music, it has to be that music. I will just turn it off. Bro. Which I have no problem. You can't. I ride in silence all the time.
You can't turn it off. It's there. It's just there. So pick one. You're picking the AI generated EDM. Yeah, you are. I picked for you. What?
I hate hypotheticals. Toy Story 5 comes out on June 20th. June 19th.
I don't know how I feel about this.
Okay. What's your hang up?
I just feel like they should have ended at three. You think so? I thought one and two and three were great. Okay. And I know that a lot of people, like even if you go back now and look at one, the animation is not great, but it's still such a great story.
No, I know it is. Okay. So one and two and three you like. Yeah. Three is when we introduced the big bear.
Sir hugs a lot. What's his name? Big baby. Yeah. Big baby.
No mama don't love you. No mama. Which when Beck was little, that movie came out. Yeah. And whenever we said that, he got very upset. He got really sad. He's like, quit saying that. So Taylor Swift, you've heard of her? No. She was five when the first.
Wait, is that the girlfriend of Travis Kelsey?
Yeah, that's her claim to fame. Are you kidding me? Come on. They're in fiance by the way.
Oh, so sorry. So she was five years old when the first toy story movie came out. And that's insane.
I know, right? And there's been all these rumors running around that she was going to make a song for the fifth movie. So here's what happened.
I'm sorry. No song for toy story toy story will ever be as good as Sarah McLaughlin. What's the, you know, the one when she loved me? Yeah. That one makes me so sad.
I have a TikTok video. I found a Jesse doll at an antique store sitting there all sad in a case. And I took a video of it and put that song to it. Anyway, Taylor will drop, I knew it. I knew you. That's the name of the song. I knew it. I knew you. Comes out on Friday.
Is this an original song for the movie?
It is an original song. Yep. Here's what she said on Instagram. She said, I've always dreamed of getting to write for these characters who've I've adored since I was five years old. I fell instantly in love with toy story five when I was lucky enough to see it in its early stages. And I wrote this song as soon as I got home from the screening.
Sometimes you just know, right? That's what she said. Okay. So she has written the song called I knew it. I know I knew it. I knew you. The title is a little tough.
The title is a little tough for me. I knew it. I knew you. The song comes out on Friday. So two things happening. One, toy story five comes out June 19th. We're going to get to hear the song before the movie. Two, it's new Taylor Swift music coming out on Friday.
Okay. Hang on. We got to go back a minute because isn't this movie the one where like there's the toys are struggling with.
iPad.
Yep. So it's going to be a little bit country.
It is an acoustic song. Which Taylor and an acoustic is not a bad thing. Are you struggling? You look at you have so much to say, but you're holding yourself back.
I don't want to make this. Swiftie's angry. Why would you make the main? I don't know.
I'm just everybody has their own preferences.
Here's the thing. I don't hate Taylor Swift, but I don't love Taylor Swift. So I'm just kind of feeling a meh about it. All right.
Well, a lot of people are feeling the yay about it.
I know. I totally get it. I don't, I don't feel that. I just go, okay, I'll hear it when I hear it.
I'm excited to see this movie. This has got to be the last one, right?
That's what we said about the last one.
They can't do toy story six.
Was a toy story four was when they were in forky. Yeah. Yeah. Forky is the best forky is so good. Mostly because I really like the actor. That's forky. All right.
Well, is that Tony Hale? All right. Toy Story five June 19th new music from Taylor Swift. I knew it. I knew you there. There's an acoustic version. There's a piano version. There's a couple of different ones that will be dropping and along with the actual like full track. So there's three versions because that's a Taylor thing to do. Release three versions. If you're going to do it once, do it three times.
Get out of here. Come on. Come on.
I'm excited to hear it. Well, hopefully we'll get it early enough on Friday that we can play it on the show. Oh, please. We'll see how good, stop it. What if you love it? What if it's what if it's slipping through my fingers?
What if it's that song for you? Listen to me. The problem is that you hear it and then you go, oh, I actually really like that song. And then you hear it and you hear it and you hear it and you hear it and you hear it. And then I can't stand that song because I've been over saturated with that song. That's all.
That's all I'm saying. Well, get ready to begin the oversaturation on Friday.
That's what I'm saying. I can wait to hear it.
It's the song. I can wait. I can wait.
Okay. You got a little, I don't know. When I met you, you were wearing glasses. And then it was only like 10 years into our marriage when you got contacts finally. And now I've gotten so used to you in contacts
that now when you put your readers on. I had Lasik six years ago. And so now I like, I wear readers because I'm old. And so I put them on because today I'm feeling a little bit extra. Like I need them.
Hey, I'm not listening to me when I tell you, I'm not mad about them.
So, but, but I can't, I can't keep them on. So I have to do this like on off thing. Yeah. Because you're far enough away that if I'm wearing them, you're blurry. Yeah. But up here now I can see like my immediate area. That's how they work.
Well, guess what? What is it? It's pretty handsome. Oh, is that right? Mm-hmm. Settle down.
Calm yourself.
Look away. Let me time out. Let me just also point out that I am older than you and I still don't need readers.
Yes, you do. Try these on. No, I don't. Try them on. You're going to put them on and you're going to fake that like, no, I don't need them. My eyeballs are fine.
Get out of here. What do you want me to read? Look at your phone. It's blurry. I don't need those. Oh, come on now. Come on now, you. I'm jelly-fine. You look at stops sometimes and you go, I can't read that. And I go, let me see it and I can read it. I know. Okay. That actually looks okay.
Yeah. It's pretty good. I have these ones too. These ones are blue light. Okay. What are these? Those are like one. They're very minimal magnification.
But I don't need them. I could still read this fine without them.
Try them on. Try the blue light ones. Those are different. This is fun. This is passing around different glasses. I like the blue light ones.
Yeah, the blue light. Are these also readers?
No. They're just blue light. But if you look at your computer screen, that's where you notice the big difference.
I had some blue light ones. They looked a little Harry Potter-ish. Where did those go? I couldn't tell you. I couldn't tell you either, but they were kind of fun.
But these are horn rim and I like these a lot. Yeah. If I ever get back to when I need glasses, they'll be horn rim, for sure. Yeah. I like that style. Anyway, what's up? What's going on? I'm sorry. It's a lot of glasses.
Sorry, I got distracted by your very Clark Kent.
Oh, not Superman. When I take him off though. New person. New guy.
Okay. If you could choose AI to do something for you that wasn't something you wanted to do. What?
Here's the thing. AI should be doing the stuff that people don't want to do. Right. That's what I'm asking. If we could figure out how to make it do the things that we don't want to do so that we can spend more time doing the creative things, that would be phenomenal.
Yeah. Because what is happening, the trend is to use it to replace people in work or to use it to do creative things, which is annoying. Which is not creative at all. But the point is like free up my time so I can be creative. Don't rob me of creativity.
Okay, right. That's what I'm asking. What would you want it to do so that you could have more time for your hobbies? All the household chores.
All of them?
Figure out. Pick one. What? You can only pick one. One thing. So when you say all the household chores, you pick one. That's it. Chores. No, you pick one chore. That's one thing. Chores.
No. It's one thing in life. Chores.
I feel like there's more than one chore. That's why it's plural. Take care of the yard. But that's the one thing. Are you going to have it to the dishes? Are you going to have it clean? Are you going to have it? Yeah, clean the whole house. No. You have to pick one thing.
Clean the house. That's one thing.
I hate playing hypotheticals with you. You don't play right.
This is the same thing you said when you were five. No, you can't play because you don't play right. I'm going to go play with these by myself.
Yeah, right. I didn't like playing Barbies with my friends.
Because people don't play the way you want to play.
Yeah, they didn't. Oh, you just want to change their outfits and do their hair. No, I have a whole storyline. This is a family. And the sister came into town with her kids.
And now they have to figure out where they're going to sleep. And why is a Muppet Baby a baby? Because, John, I'll tell you why. It's a Muppet Baby.
In the 80s, they did not have Barbie babies. And so you had to get imaginative.
So you used a Miss Piggy as a baby.
A Happy Meal. As a baby that looks like a pig. Yeah. Imagination.
So why were those so heavy? What kind of plastic were they made of? They were like a rock. You could skip Miss Piggy across a lake. She was heavy.
I'm trying to remember if she sunk in the bathtub. I think she probably did. 100%. Yeah.
That thing wasn't floating. It was heavy.
I will say, here's the funny thing about my imagination. When I was little playing with the Barbies, I had to use Miss Piggy as my baby. But if somebody brought like a Superman doll that was like the boyfriend of Barbie, I'd be like, no. Get that out of here.
That's an action figure.
That is too unbelievable. But here's my Pig Baby. Right. Got it. Checks out.
Get Superman out of here. Give me my Pig Baby.
I was trying to think of the, what was the planet Superman was from? Krypton. Yeah.
Krypton. So anyway.
What were we talking about? AI.
What you wanted to do for you. I wanted to clean the house so that I can have more time for fun.
The dog's nose window?
That, yeah. But no. The one in our bedroom where there was cobwebs up by the curtains and I went, somebody needs to really clean this house. See?
We live in a haunted house. We just have sheets all over the furniture and we have cobwebs everywhere. That's what it sounds like. It does sound like that. Somebody needs to clean this place.
Somebody please come sweep my floor.
There's three ghosts wandering around the halls and one of them will turn into a boy and dance with you. You know that movie came out over 30 years ago? What are you talking about? Casper. Over 30 years ago. Yeah, we're all old, Josh. I know. Anyway, this has been a very random conversation. You want to trade glasses again? Sure.
What's something you have to remind yourself to do every day?
Why are you going after me for being old all day? No, no, no. All your body aches. Oh, you can't remember things.
You said that your body aches. I didn't say that.
I feel like I'm being attacked about being old.
No, this has nothing to do with being old. This is just, this is a question for even the young folk.
Well, here's the deal. I have to remind myself a couple of things every day. Okay. Take your pills. Old people stuff. Put on your mask before you fall asleep.
You did not do that last night.
I did. Well, I mean, I put it on, but I was falling asleep and you went, put on your mask. And I went, okay, please settle down. Put on your mask. That's what you said. I kicked your foot too. Yeah, and you went, put on your mask.
Fine. Okay, here's why though. Because I went. Because I was asleep and then I was awoken to some snoring.
And so then you kick me. And then you go, put on your mask. And then you went back to sleep. Okay. So cranky.
Marriage is fun. Put on your mask. I'm sorry. It makes me cranky when I get woken up. And the fact that you can't remember to put on your mask.
It's not that I forgot. It's that I fell asleep before I did.
Yes, Josh. But as we've discussed before, if you lay down, you need to put your mask on.
Because you will fall asleep. But it's, I got to like hang out a little while before I fall asleep. And I don't just want to hang out in it. In your mask? Right. Just do it. It's not for hanging out. It's for sleeping.
No, but you're gonna fall asleep if you're just. Kicked. Kicked. It's just because my full is touching your foot and I just went. Kick. No, it wasn't a kick. It was more like a.
Oh, here we go. It's not a push. It's a nudge. It's not a kick. It's a foot tap. Yeah, like a. It's a kick. Tickle. It was not a tickle. Tickle, tickle. Put on your mask. That's what you said.
It is what I said. I don't disagree with you.
You turned away and went, I'm going to sleep.
No, I was already turned away. That's why our feet were touching.
Oh, so you did a horse kick. Yeah, kind of. Yeah. Rude.
It wasn't that aggressive. It was like a.
There's no way it wasn't aggressive. It woke me. From my slumber.
Well, you woke me from my slumber.
So anyway, so anyway. Pills. Pills. Putting on my mask. Put on my mask. And.
Water. That's what I always have to remind myself. Drink water. How's that going? Good. You have water everywhere you go. Yeah, it doesn't mean I'm drinking it. Just carried around for looks. I'll have a sip every now and then. But that's what that's what water does. I keep a tally of how much water I've drunk a day. And then I go.
Yeah. How many times do I drink? Drink. Drunk.
Drunk. So I can get 16. ounces in this mug. Okay. Of water. All right. And so technically. You need to drink four. Yeah. And on a good day. I've emptied it once.
So. I have my. My big water bottle. If I drink two of those. That's 64.
Well, here's what happened. I was. What is it? I was doing really good about drinking water. And then I went to the doctor and the doctor said. You're drinking too much water.
Well, it wasn't that you were drinking too much. It was that it was. It was desalinating you. You need salt. Yeah.
Electrolytes. He said you're drinking too much water. That's what he told me.
It just means you don't have enough salt. Correct. So what is it? You're drinking. You need to drink 64, but you need salt.
Am I drinking too much water? No. Not enough. Doc.
Because you aren't drinking 64, but you're not taking in the salt you need. I know.
So then I got some liquid IVs. And I was drinking that. You had one. Because it's too salty. Yeah. It's too salty. Too much. So every day I have to remind myself to drink water. Yeah, but also electrolytes.
Get the salt. You need that too. All right. Put on your mask. Oh, wow. She's so witty. I'm like, so you, you forget water. I forget pills and apparently I'm a mask. Those are, that's it. Yeah.
That's pretty easy. It is pretty easy. Do you remember deodorant? Yeah. Today I did it. You did it? No, I did. Today I remember deodorant. Did I? Oh, here we go. Oh yeah, I'm good. Okay.
I read something yesterday and I proposed it to the family yesterday. It is a. Was I there for that?
Yeah. I sent a text. I didn't see it. Go ahead. I'm not surprised. You don't respond usually. I don't even know if I saw it. It's the idea to have a 90s summer.
So this is the disconnected. Yeah. Do things like you used to.
Well, not necessarily disconnected because you can have physical media. You, you just don't have streaming. When did you send this? You go to the movie theaters. You go to arcades, bowling alleys. I sent it. Maybe I sent it in Instagram. Oh, oh, probably. I bet I did because. Was it a real? Yeah, it was a real and Beck said, because Beck responded and said, I have a physical media collection.
Oh yeah. I see that. I didn't see that one until now. That's okay. I saw that dog with the sad legs and I saw that miserable driving video, but I did not see that post. I see it now. It's here.
Okay. Yeah. I know. There it is. And I think it sounds fun.
So you go to bowling alleys, arcades, movie theaters.
You sit outside and watch the clouds. You put some sidewalk chalk. Great. You do some slingshots. You build. Swingshots. You play board games. You do double Dutch jump rope. You walk around the neighborhood, slipping slides, water gun fights, driving movies.
Bookets for personal pan pizzas library visits.
I think this sounds awesome. Pool days with a picnic lunch. What kind of sandwich? Tuna fish. No. Sagi.
We're not doing tuna fish because we're going 90s. We're doing it right. You know what that means. What does that mean? That means your baloney has a first name.
No, I'm not doing baloney.
You gotta. No, I do. It's the baloney and squeeze it.
I'm doing a tuna fish sandwich, but we're out of plastic bags. And so it has to be in the bread bag.
Everyone's sandwich is just tied up in the whole bread loaf bag. Yeah. You're gross. This one is wet.
The way mom used to do it. I don't like it. Did your mom ever used to make a tuna fish sandwiches? No. And then she would use. You had a lot of baloney. She would use the fork that she was mixing the mayo and the tuna fish with. And then she'd get bits of tuna fish in the mayo container.
Why are you using a fork to do mayo?
Mom. Well, she didn't initially, but then she was like, she would scoop out the mayo with like a spoon or whatever. And then she would use a fork to kind of mix it up. And then she would get back in the, oh, she was like, oh, I need more mayo. And then the tuna fish fork would get in the mayo container.
I'm appalled. I am. I am not okay. I know my mom did some gross stuff.
So then the next time you went to make this.
I'm struggling. I'm having a real hard time. That's uncomfortable. I don't care for that.
The next time you went to make a sandwich, you were like, mom.
No, I don't like this. No, that did not happen. And I'm grateful.
It didn't happen to me either. Okay. 90s summer. Let's do it.
Just baloney. No, I'm not doing that. You got to have a baloney sandwich. I'm going to get some Oscar Meyer baloney. No. With that yellow lid that's real sticky.
I'm not eating that. Why? Because I'm not. It's a 90s summer. I didn't eat baloney in the 90s.
I'm getting white bread and I'm getting baloney and I'm getting a block of cheddar cheese that I'm going to cut kind of straight. I'm doing it the way we used to.
I didn't have that. I didn't eat that.
I'm getting a lot of cheese. And I'm getting regular old crinkle, what are they called? Ruffles. I'm getting ruffles potato chips. And I'm getting a cold can of pork and beans.
No, I'm uncomfortable. I didn't eat that in the 90s. I'm not doing that. You're eating it now. And you're going to like it.
NASA needs your art, apparently. For what? For space. They're looking for poets, writers and artists to help tell the stories of the upcoming Moon and Mars missions. They want creative people to submit ideas for songs, books and movies by the end of June. So you got to get on it. Okay. Every week this month they're posting a simple word as a prompt.
Launch or moon. I could come up with some songs. I know. Inspire people to create and share their own art online. They are welcoming everything from paintings to nail art, latte foam. What?
Whatever. Wherever you create art. They want you to create art with the goal of inspiring people to make and share their artistic creations. That's cool. Yeah. So I was trying to pull up the words here. So this week the word is launch. Yeah.
Okay. Then next week it'll be moon. The next week will be crew. And then the fourth week of June will be earth. Okay. So this week launch. Create some art. Okay, I will.
I'm going to come up with a song. You are? Yes. Why did you pick that?
There's all these things you could choose and you said I'm going to write music.
I'm not going to write music. I'm just going to write some lyrics. So potentially a poem.
A haiku perhaps. A haiku?
Is a haiku the 353?
It's 575. Okay. Or 757. It's 575? 575. Oh no, look it up. It's 575. Okay. I'm going to make a haiku. You are? Yeah.
About launch. It's not lunch. Don't get confused.
Nope. It's a haiku about launch. Announcement for proposed partnership agreement embedded creators. So they have like very, it's under NASA inspires. How very fun. Anyway, you can, you can check out the press release and get all the details, but they are seeking partners on a non reimbursable basis. Dang it. To share the stories behind and insights into a multitude of NASA programs.
That's what it says. I would prefer a reimbursable basis. Wouldn't that be nice? Can I negotiate? No. Five bucks for each haiku I write.
What are you on? Fiverr? You can do that on Fiverr. What's Fiverr? Do you not know about Fiverr? No. Oh. No. You should learn about Fiverr. Tell me about it. It's a website. You can go on and you can say, I do this and people can pay you for it. And then you can also say, I need this and people can go, I'll do that for you. And it's all $5. Well, no, you name your price, but Fiverr is where you go.
I got a fever for Fiverr. Okay. Is it a website? Yes. Fiverr F I V E R.com. You got it. Do you not know about this? I just said no, I didn't.
Oh, well, I do now. It's got two Rs, by the way. Fiverr.
That's not how you spell Fiverr, but I'll let it slide. Fiverr.
So anyway, go create NASA art. That was the point. Okay. The word of the week is launch. Not lunch. Launch.
Don't steal my idea. You know, you who you who the drink.
Yeah. Okay. Yeah. One of the very few drinks that still arrives in a glass bottle.
I know you who so good.
I don't care for their styrofoam label.
I don't know what you're talking about.
So it used to be, and now it's just a regular sticker label, but it used to be on the outside of the jar. It was a styrofoam printed label that was stuck on there.
I do not remember that. You don't? No. And I drank a lot of you who I had a lot of you who in high school, you who and bugles. That was my lunch. Gross.
Sometimes I would change the you who for Mountain Dew. Well, healthy. Okay. Here's what you don't know.
What is it? Pepsi tried to compete with you who in 1966. And they started its own chocolate drink called Devil Shake. Well, that didn't stick.
That's a terrible name. It was made with water, sugar, cocoa powder and nonfat dry milk powder. They wanted it to outsell you who and they estimated that it would by a margin of five to three. Huh. They overlooked a crucial manufacturing component. You who held exclusive rights to the hydrostatic sterilization machines required to keep a milk based product without risk.
Self stable.
So Pepsi was forced to pay $1 million to you who to bottle the drink on their behalf.
So they, it was the same product.
It was essentially the same product and you who was bottling it for them while Pepsi was paying them. So they lost a lot of money and so they finally were like, yeah, we're not going to make any money on this.
So I was just looking, I got stuck on the Styrofoam label thing because I needed to see it again. If you look it up, just Styrofoam bottle labels, they used to be a 16 ounce glass bottle that sodas came in. So everything from Sprite and Squirt and Dr. Pepper and all the Coke products and Jolt and Pepsi, they were all doing it. And they had these little Styrofoam. Yeah, it's like a thing. Yeah, it was real. I hated it. I remember that.
Yeah, I don't care for it. I was thinking it was like a puffy or a thing. But no, you're right. It was like a thin. Right. And you who had it. Why did you hate it?
Because of the noise and I don't like the texture of it. I'm glad they went away from it because Styrofoam, right? Like, it's all in landfills now. But anyway, I just popped in my head because you who had that for a while. Why did they get rid of it? Probably because of Styrofoam in the landfills. Yeah, that's pretty smart. That's probably why. But, you know, people like everybody on the internet, it's like, man, I miss peeling those off and I'm like, no, no, I don't.
Yeah, kind of like peeling those off too. No way.
Anyway, that's what I know about Devil's Shake.
I'm glad that that's not around, but also poor marketing. What are you thinking? It's really bad marketing. Like this drink over here is exciting. It's called Yoo-Hoo. Devil's Shake. Yeah, what?
How do you think people are going to buy that?
I mean, there's literally a water that, what's it called? It's the cans, death, whatever. Liquid death. Oh, yeah. It's called liquid death. It's water.
I've never had that. You know why?
Because I don't like to buy things with death in the middle. Well, that brand has stuck around. I know. So, there's that.
So, here's Yoo-Hoo. Hmm. Yoo-Hoo. I could do with some Yoo-Hoo.
You could? Yeah, sounds nice. Kind of watery. You got to shake it. I'd rather have Nesquik scoops of chocolate milk.
The scoops, the dry powder? No. Yeah. Because it doesn't dissolve all the way. And so then at the end of your cup, you're left with a big old chunk of powder. Stir better. What?
Oh, look, more hypotheticals. Would you rather this or that?
Would you rather have really strong arms and weak legs or really strong legs and weak arms? I'm going to let you pick first. Okay. Why?
Because I'm trying to decide. Okay. I have an idea of what I want, but I do go ahead. Okay.
I already feel like I have really strong legs and weak arms, so I'm going to just stick with that. Yeah. You feel like you have what? Strong legs and weak arms. Uh-huh. And you're just going to stay with that. Yeah. It's done me good so far. I mean, I'm doing all right.
What about switching it up? No, I don't want to. Just think about it for a minute.
I mean, strong arms could be cool. What would you do? Oh, I could lift so many things. Think about me moving furniture, Josh. Think about it. With them stick legs? No, if I moved and had... Yeah, you're right. Hmm. Hmm.
I'm still sticking. I'm going to say strong legs and weak arms because that's already what I experienced. I have strong legs, bro. You know it's true. Why are you looking at me like that? How strong?
Why? You do a lot of squats. Yeah.
Duh. No, you don't. No, but if I am at the gym... Yeah. What a miraculous day. That would be... Okay. But also if I'm doing like a foot press... Yeah. Dude, I can get so much weight on that. You think? Yeah, I've done it before. Now, if I go and I switch it up and I'm doing like an arm press or something... Sure. It's like a 20 pounder. 20 pounds.
That's a lot. It's not. Half a bag of salt.
No, but if I do the legs, I can get up to the hundreds.
The hundreds of pounds? Yes. Hundreds plural? Yes. Your leg pressing hundreds? Yes. I don't think so.
Bro, we better go to the gym and test this out. We better. What a miraculous day.
I'm taking strong arms. Okay, why? Because I feel like carry and stuff, I do a lot more that... I'm pretty balanced, I think, right now. I feel like my legs are okay, and my arms are okay. But if I had to only have one, I'd want strong arms. Okay. All right. Skip leg day is what I'm saying.
I wouldn't be mad about your strong arms.
But have you seen those guys who are like really torso heavy? Yeah. And then they got a little legs. Teeny little... Yeah, that's what I'm gonna look like that. This is gonna be sad.
And then I'm gonna have little wimpy arms.
Huge legs. Yeah, you're gonna hate that.
No, I won't because...
Together we are one full human.
Think of all the kicking I could do.
Yeah, plenty. You do plenty already. I know.
Because I got strong old legs. Would you rather this or that? Every time we buy something for our backyard, whether it's a plant or a fence or a greenhouse or a tree.
Or a flower.
Or a solar light. Or...
Whatever it is. A bird seed.
We get a little bit judged by our daughter. Not a little. And I don't necessarily know why she cares so much other than she feels like it's taking money away from her summer activities.
And... That seems to be the only reason.
But she doesn't have any evidence that she's not gonna be able to do the things that she normally does during summer.
But every time I got told I had Beck help me unload the greenhouse. And he said, you bought a greenhouse? I said, yeah, dude. And he said, oh, there goes hot tub money. And I went, hot tub money? Like, yeah, I want a hot tub. But then I'm gonna put that in the backyard and then you're gonna go, well, there goes lagoon money. There goes pick another thing, money. I know. Yeah.
I'm tired of these kids micromanaging.
I know. Our finances. Right. Deal with your own money. You have a job.
Last night, we were sitting out there. I ran. I was just sitting on the deck and joined the sunset. You were working away on the greenhouse. Yeah. And then we're goes, how much does that cost? What? The greenhouse.
Narnia. How about... I guess maybe it was during dinner. That was during dinner. Yes. And she said, how much was that, how much did that cost? With an attitude. Yeah. And you said, wanna take a guess? And so then she started guessing. Yeah. And then when you told her how much it cost you it. Hmm. I guess we're not going to lagoon.
Like, dude, chill out. I know what chill out.
Buy your own lagoon ticket.
That's what I'm saying. You have a job. That's what I'm saying. Stop telling me what to do with my money. Right. Oh, well, making the yard look nice. I guess that's more important. Yeah, I live here. It's important. Yeah.
I work hard for my money. I get to spend it how I want to spend it.
Somebody should write a song about working hard for your money.
Yeah, except the part of it's going to say, these kids better not tell me what to do with my money. Yeah, that's important.
Kids. Yeah, mind your own. You know, that's what we always say in the house. Mind your own. So let's try that one. All right. See if she likes that advice.
Mind your own. Mind your own, dude. Mind your own business and mind your own finances. That's what I'm saying. Mind your own.
Leave mine alone and mind your own.
Okay, Josh. All right. Do you want to wrap up this day?
