Full show transcript:
We are all over on socials at Classy97KLCE. One social that we are not on is MySpace. And I was looking, I just pulled up MySpace. I thought I'd log in for a minute. When's the last time you looked at MySpace? I'm gonna go there today.
It's been a really long time. So likewise, I'm trying to log in. I don't even know if it'll work. If I even remember the right password and stuff. Believe you remember your login. Well, we'll see. No, it's not that.
So I've got to try a different one. This is gonna be the entirety of this. It's gonna see who can log into their MySpace account first. I'm sure it's not gonna be me.
Okay, are you in? And what are we talking about? Well, I want to see what it looks like on my page. Like, have I, why is it not letting me do that? It's tough to get in.
I'll tell you, if you don't remember your stuff. Well, yeah. Anyway.
I know the email. I just wanted to see it. I haven't seen it in a long time.
And so I was curious to see if I still had a top eight and who it was. I just saw a thing posted on Facebook this morning that said, if MySpace came back, would you join it? And I thought, I've never left. I never went in and deleted my profile.
So, you know. Could you see old things that you had? So the last time I logged in, the last time I logged in, like I couldn't get any of my photos or anything. Oh, that's too bad. Yeah.
Because they'd all been sort of deleted or something, which I don't think is super bad. Like that's probably okay, right? Yeah. I mean, I've logged in, but I can't access anything. I don't have any messages. I don't have any people.
I've got nothing. So. You're in though? I'm in, but it's not easy to navigate.
And it's just a lot of music. I think I'm in now. I think I got logged in. There are some photos. I've got a, yes.
Yes, I have some photos. Look at you. Some photos of me with some famous people.
Which is kind of fun. So some photos of me with some bands and stuff. I've got a picture of one of the warp tours that we went to.
We saw Katy Perry and I took a cool picture of the stage with like a pink gearbox that says Katy Perry on it. Nice. So that's kind of a cool photo. And then pictures of me, very, very, very young. I want to look.
I wish it, it would tell me the date that these were posted on, but wow, this is weird to see. But yeah, I do still have some photos. I don't have any videos. It doesn't have any of my like posts or blogs or anything.
It also says I have zero connections. Oh, John. Sad.
I know. I was able to find some photos, but they're all locked. So I can't even. Yeah, those, those ones have been deleted. Anything that's locked is gone. Okay. Cause I have the captions on them. Like this one says my rodeo loving husband.
But I can't see it. It's probably when I was doing the country morning show. Probably. Yeah.
Interesting. But I can't access it. I don't know what that photo is. Okay, well, I don't need to go back to my space. I'm good. No, I'm good. Okay.
I'm good. Let's kick off today's show. Hi there. Hey. What do you know?
Um, what do I know? Do they say the third day is the hardest of anything? Yeah.
And that's kind of what I expected. Today would be after day light savings. Yeah. Cause today was raw. Yeah. Yeah. No, that's, that's exactly what I expected to be the case. It takes a few days for your entire world to adjust to, you know, whatever this is.
An hour lost? Yeah. Yeah.
Cause boy howdy. It was difficult to get out of bed this morning. Yeah, I mean, I'm gonna agree with you. I could absolutely still be just slumbering away. Oh, same homie. Same.
Yeah. And one of these days I'll get to do a little sleep in and hopefully that'll give me that little bit of recovery. And I can go, all right, now that's what I needed. That full.
They say you can never make up for lost sleep. Right. So I'm not expecting that. I'm just saying I want to wake up and go, I am ready to wake up.
That's rare, isn't it? Where you wake up and you just go, yeah, I'm ready to seize the day. I think there's a couple of times on the weekends where I go, you know what, I'm good now. Like I said before, I like waking up at seven, maybe eight, look at you. That's a big ol' yawn.
I mean, holy smokes. That's definitely for me, like I'm good. A seven o'clock or an eight o'clock sleep in and I'm good to go. I feel like much later than that, you're wasting the day.
I think so too. But that's what I would like. I'd like a nice little seven or eight, that'd be okay. Oh, would ya?
Mm-hmm, that's exactly right. I don't know, what else is going on? You tell me. Besides being tired. You tell me. It's the middle of the week.
It's garbage day for us. Yes. Good job remembering. Thank you. That was a smart thing you did this morning because that garbage can is full. Yes it is. And it needs to go. I remembered. Yep.
And here's what happened. I was already running a little bit late for work and I could leave before you. Sure. But sometimes I don't like to, sometimes I like waiting, I like leaving together.
Yeah. So I was waiting for you and I was like, oh, I'll make the bed. Oh, I'll take out the garbage. Yeah. I'm already killing it this morning.
I know. I should probably just end the day. Do you want gold stars?
Yeah. What do you want? I want the rest of the day off. Ah, because. Have someone say, you did such a great job this morning.
Yeah. You made the bed and took out the garbage. That was nice of you to make the bed.
I normally do that when I get home after work. Now I have one less thing to do. I'm sorry.
I'll give you more stuff. No, no, no, no, no, no. You can replace it with something. They say that you're supposed to, listen to me. They say that you're supposed to let your bed air out.
That's correct. When I was making it this morning, it was still a little bit steamy on your side. Gross. Yeah.
What does that mean? Steamy. It was just warm. Well, I'd been there for hours.
Still full of body heat. And I went, I should probably let this air out. So you only made your half?
No, I made the whole thing, but I went, I don't know. Trapping all that body steam. I don't like that you're calling it that. That's not my favorite thing. There has to be a better term than body steam. That's what it's called.
I don't make the rules. That's ick. It's your body.
It's gross. How about some good news? Tell me something good. That's a nice one. Okay. So in Mobile, Alabama, there is an oyster place.
Do I know the name of it? I don't know, but they have a promise on the wall. And it's one of those like free food tomorrow things. And then you show up tomorrow and the sign still says, free food tomorrow. It's one of those like type of things. Their sign says, and this wall's been hanging up since like 1972, it's been hanging up since like 50 years ago.
Okay. And the sign, oh, it's Winssells. And it's offered free oysters to any eight year old man who can walk in the restaurant accompanied by his father. Free oysters for an 80 year old man and his dad.
You said eight. 80 year old man and his dad. So it's a challenge that a lot of customers for decades had laughed about because they thought, this can't happen. You gotta be 80 and you're gonna have your dad with you.
Like that's just unlikely. Jimmy Rush was determined to be the first to make it happen. And on his 80th birthday, he walked through the front door with his 99 year old father, Jim. So Jimmy and Jim walked in and they claimed the offer. How did they prove they were father and son?
Great question, I don't know. But the restaurant did follow through on the deal. They served up the house specialty to the duo as 60 of their closest friends and family members cheered them on. They had a whole group of people involved. They were like, we're doing it. We're going and we're getting our free oysters. It's finally happening.
Now, Jimmy's little brother. It's finally happening. Everyone's just waiting around for that. Jimmy's little brother in a little over two years will turn 80 and they're saying, we're going back in two years. So hang on, dad, we're getting more of these in two years and it's gonna be awesome.
They say that you always have to have something to look forward to. And they've been looking at that sign for years and years we're gonna make that happen one day. Okay, they did it. They did it. You got your free oysters.
And that's good news. Hey, when's the last time you were called to do jury duty? I have not. Ever? Not once. You've never had to like stress about remembering to call the number to see if you have to go to court that day? I have not.
I feel like everybody around me has been called but I somehow escaped. I've put it into the universe so now I'm gonna get the letter. Okay, what if I told you you didn't have to worry about it? Why do you mean?
What if I told you that there's a new opportunity for you to say, nah, here's the deal. Idaho is facing a shortage of election workers, especially for primaries and the lesser elections, bonds and things like that that have to get passed. So the law is working its way through the state legislature right now that would let you do that volunteer to be an election worker instead of jury duty. Okay, interesting. Yeah, it says it would only happen if a county clerk determines that there aren't enough poll workers so it's not like you could just bail out any time and say, nope, I'm gonna go do this instead.
Don't call me, take me off your list. But if you were able to do it, it could be a way to get you out of jury duty for the next two years. So if there is a shortage and they say, hey, we need poll workers, this is a thing if you do, you wouldn't be on the jury duty list for two years. That's the opportunity. It's going through legislature right now, they're gonna vote on it and decide, but it's an interesting thing.
When was the last time you had jury duty? It was probably... Beck was five or younger. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you actually got three or four.
I was selected, it was tough, it was a tough case. I did not enjoy it. I mean, it was fascinating, let me be clear. The whole process was fascinating. I did not enjoy being a juror on a case that I am the case that I was on. It was not a fun time. But I also have not been selected again. Selected since then.
So maybe they're like, yeah, that's enough. That was a rough one. How long were you gone, do you remember? It took about a week or so.
I know it was... That was quick. Well, I mean, they get moving. Once you get selected, things happen pretty quick and you are in trial. And it was, I mean, it was over a weekend. So we had, let's say I went in on a Monday or whatever for the jury selection. And I think we were done the following weeks, Tuesday or Wednesday.
So it was probably seven or eight days total of actual sitting in a courtroom for hours and hours and hours. Maybe they serve you lunch and you get paid. You get paid. Yeah. You get a lot of money. Not really.
No, not even close. But it was a really interesting process. Yeah, I think it's kind of fascinating.
I think it, I think, like I didn't like the case that I was on, but if it would have been something like just a money thing, boring. Yeah, exactly. Like a property dispute. Yeah.
Yeah, like where to build a fence or who cut down somebody else's tree. Boring. Why is this going to jury? Yeah, it was, again, a judge just figured this out. Yeah, no, that's, it's interesting.
But, you know, if that passes, there's a chance you could just say, no, actually. I'm a poll worker. I have, I work for the polls.
I have poll credentials. That's right. But either way, you're doing a civic duty if you didn't catch onto the whole thing. The whole thing is that you're doing your civic duty. Reporting for civic duty, sir. You should do that.
That's what I was saying. Yeah, you ever get called and they'll go, yeah, tell us about yourself. And they have you stand up and you go, well, I am a reporting for civil duty, sir. Yeah, they'll take you real serious.
So they'll come on. Get her out of here. We don't want her. Yeah, this one's a weirdo.
Let her go. There's a press release that is out from Yellowstone National Park. On March 9th, Yellowstone biologists working in the northern part of the park reported seeing the first grizzly bear of the spring season.
Oh, yeah. Okay, it feels early to me, but I don't keep in line with the hibernation schedule. Last year, the first grizzly bear siding occurred on March 14th. Okay. In 2024, it occurred on March 3rd.
Okay. And in 22 and 23, it was March 7th. So we're right on schedule. It just seems I wondered for a minute if they were confused because the weather has been unseasonably warm.
Nope, they are right on time. The bear was observed in the back country, again, this is the northern part of the park, in the back country scavenging on a bull bison carcass. Yeah, don't get even remotely close to that because that is bad times. Yeah, that is a bear who is hungry. Don't get in its path.
No kidding. All of Yellowstone is grizzly and black bear country from the deepest back country to the boardwalks and the parking lots around Old Faithful. All of it is bear country. So definitely want to make sure that you prepare for a bear encounter by carrying bear spray, knowing how to use it and making sure it's accessible and also check the expiration date. Make sure it's not expired because that's important. I just got two new cans, we're in good shape. What happens when they get expired?
They can sort of depressurize a little bit, they can lose their potency, things can change in the chemistry inside the bottle. So it's important to make sure you're good there. Stay alert, hikerski in groups of three or more and stay on, maintain trails and make noise when hiking at dark dawn and at night. Get a bear bell. Do not run if you encounter a bear. Now I'm gonna say there's several different ways to handle a bear encounter. And depending on the posturing of the bear is how you should react.
But I don't need to get into it. If you're really curious, do the research, find out the information and you should stay 100 yards away from black and grizzly bears. Approaching bears within 100 yards is prohibited. Use binoculars, a telescope or a telephoto lens to get a closer look. I don't know what, when you tell me 100 yards.
A football field. Okay. Okay. You're at one end, the bear at the other. That's far away. That's, seems a little too close for me still. You're still thinking that's too close? Mm-hmm.
Potentially. Remember to store food, garbage, barbecue grills, another attractants and hard-sided vehicles of bear-proof food storage boxes and report bear sightings and encounters to the park rangers immediately. Yeah, you don't wanna be a bear attractant. No.
Don't do it. Yeah, pretty consistent though on their, waking up from hibernation time. March 9th, March 14th, March 3rd, March 7th, early March. Okay. Yep. Bear, it's bear wake-up time everyone. It is indeed. So, you know, be aware, be bear aware.
Yeah, get yourself a bear bell. No. Why? I mean, look, they're fine.
I just, whenever you're jangling down the trail, it's awful. Have a conversation, say, hey bear, you know, every once in a while, just to make sure that everybody knows you're around. I do, but I also have a bell.
Yeah. So when I have those quiet moments, bears can still hear me, hear me coming. Jangling, like a dinner bell. I hear that bell coming. Here we go.
It did. If I said to you, how would you like your eggs? What would you say? I guess it would depend on the day.
Least often scrambled. Really? Yeah. You don't like the scrambled egg? That's my favorite way. I would prefer, that's your favorite way, but not the way I make them, cause they're too wet. Yeah. I prefer a fried egg. Probably. Running yolk? With a running yolk, yeah. That's probably top.
What if I told you, people are thinking this is a new way, but it's not a new way. There's a new trend on TikTok that's called frambled eggs. Frambled?
Yeah. It's a mix. Where you accidentally scramble an egg because you fried it and then you broke the yolk and then you go, I never mind anyway and you just scramble it up. Kind of. That's what it's called. It's called, oh, I messed up that egg. Yeah, you crack the eggs directly in the pan like you're gonna fry them. And then you gently break up the egg whites, moving it around the yolk. Right. And then after a couple of minutes, you can move your spatula around the yolk and let the egg set.
So it's a mix between a fried and a scrambled egg. Okay. It just feels lazy. It's like somebody decided. It feels extra. It's somebody accidentally poked the yolk and it broke and they went, eh, scribble, scribble, scribble.
Or. And they went, oh, it's frambled now. They didn't want to dirty another dish by mixing up the eggs.
And so they said, I'm just gonna do it in the pan. Yeah, I guess you wouldn't be mixing it and adding anything into a milk or anything like that. You would just have your eggs cracked. Some say they add a little bit of milk. Do you add milk when you scramble your eggs?
Yes. I do too. Or water if I don't have it. It's just a little extra. Makes it airy. That's what my mom always said. Oh yeah?
Makes them light and fluffy. Is that right? I don't know. This is good a reason as I can think of. I know.
Splash of milk, salt and pepper, lots of pepper. Okay, but when? That's a real important question for me. I knew you were gonna say that.
Because you don't add the salt and pepper to your bowl when you're stirring up the eggs. I do. It's the wrong time. I know, but I like it that way. That is the wrong time.
For you. For cooking process. The pepper turns bitter.
I like it. Well, gross. When do you add the pepper then? Right before the eggs are at their done stage.
So they reach a wet curd. And that is when you can add in salt, pepper. If you wanna add in cheese or little chunks of little squares of ham.
Any of that kind of stuff. You wanna add in peppers, omelette style. Anything you wanna do to the eggs, you do it when it reaches that wet curd stage and then you finish cooking the eggs within a couple of minutes if even. Like it's right at the end. Alton Brown taught you that?
Yes. Love Alton Brown. It's food science. Great. You should watch the one where he makes French toast the proper way. Takes forever.
Really? Because you have to make the custard as it's called, the egg batter mix. You have to make it like the day before you're gonna make French toast so that it can properly solidify. It's a whole thing. And then he talks about the proper breads to use and how to make it right and how much should be dispersed on the bread.
It's a whole thing. Now I have a lot of French toast. No, it's not on my list.
French toast is low on the breakfast here. That's because you haven't had it properly. You need a good.
What does that mean? Well, because the French toast that I've always made is just eggs, cinnamon. The same, it's the same. Your bread's all the same. You haven't had good French toast. Have you? Yes. Where?
My mom's house. That's just regular French toast? Yes.
It's the same. But it's my mom's French toast. It's the same as every other French toast. It's just low tier on the breakfast thing.
Look, if I'm gonna be picky about anything, it's gonna be about the quality of my French toast. And your eggs. And eggs. I don't like cooking eggs for you.
I don't like you cooking eggs for me. You overdo them. I don't like how they're too done. I think they're underdone when you make them.
Right, see? We'll never agree on how we cook eggs. How do you take your eggs? Scrambled.
Cooked by myself. Yeah. Yeah. Do you like how I fry your egg? Yeah.
That's a no. I mean, sometimes. Yeah.
Not always, but sometimes. All right. I'll tell you.
You try a new poaching method. I didn't care for it. I saw a thing on the internet. I didn't have the right little small wire strainer thing. And so it just made a mess. And I didn't care for it. Okay. I didn't like it. I won't do it again. It made a mess.
What were you gonna say about Emery? She is very particular about her fried egg as well. And if there's any crispy edge, she's not gonna like it. And I like that. I know. That's a good part of the egg. But she also doesn't like a hard yolk. She likes a runny. I know.
Yeah. But she's also gotten weird about her bacon too. But she'll also eat a medium steak. Like she's her own thing. You know?
You like a hockey puck of a steak and she's over here like, nah, like give me a real proper medium cooked steak. So anyway, we're all different, aren't we? Isn't that neat?
Yes, it sure is. Everybody's just a little different. How do you take your eggs? Scrambled, please.
Headable. Lots of pepper. Okay. Lots of pepper. Lots.
You do a lot. Is it because you don't like the taste of egg? No, I just like the taste of pepper and egg. Okay. But a lot.
Yeah. As part of our health kick diet, we had to get rid of some snacks in our house. So we wouldn't be tempted to eat them. Well, go ahead. What? I was just gonna say the snacks that we got rid of were the ones we didn't wanna eat in any way. Well, I like those. What?
The Nilla wafers. You do? I do. None of the family liked those. Nilla wafers have a place and it's a toppa milkshake stuck in the ice cream.
That is where I will take a Nilla wafer. I like them. I think they're delicious. All right. Okay. So there was like Sam's Cub or Costco, you can get like a big box of variety snacks, right?
Sure. And so we got Nilla wafers. I think there was... Like the circus animal crackers. Not the good pink and white ones. Not the frosted ones.
Those are delicious. But then there was Nutter butters. I think it was in there, some cheese and crackers. And the kids decided that they wanted to keep the cheese and crackers and the Nilla wafers. Nobody in the house wanted the Nilla wafers. There was peanut butter rits in there too.
Oh yeah, yeah. I don't like those. My family liked those. So we kept those. I brought the animal crackers and the Nilla wafers to work. I was like, ah, somebody will eat these.
And they sure did. Are they gone? Just about. Really?
I put them out yesterday. And there, I think there's one of each left. Wow. And that was a pretty good pile. It was a pretty decent pile. It was like a grocery sack full. Yeah.
Wow. If you need some food to be decimated. Yeah, bring it to a radio station. Little poor radio people will eat it.
I would like to take a poll and see who's eating the most of it. Do you have a theory? No, do you? I have a speculation.
Again, I don't care. Because. It's Wednesday.
Why? The offices get cleaned on Tuesdays and a couple other days during the week. So all the garbages are gone. I was gonna say, you could find out.
You just have to go look at the garbages, but they got emptied last night. Darn it. Yeah.
That would have been hilarious. Again, I don't care. Eat them.
Because I would rather somebody ate them than they went to waste. Right. No, that's the point. That's just quick. It is quick. And you know what? What? They're not in my belly.
So I'm not mad about it. Somebody else is eating them. That's right. And my money did not go to waste. That's right.
I'm just gonna bet that one of the people involved in eating them, and I would imagine there's probably multiple pouches of them that were consumed, are done by one of the people who was giving me a bunch of grief about going on a weight loss journey here. Oh, it didn't work the last time you tried? Like, that was first of all. No, it's not. But it was also, that was years ago. That was three and a half years ago. But just because something doesn't work three years ago, doesn't mean you shouldn't try again.
It worked three and a half years ago. But then I quit doing it. And then I just ate whatever I wanted. Like bags and bags and bags of Nilla wafers and animal crackers.
Animal crackers in my soup. Everything's a song. And so I think there's a little bit of that projection thing in there where it isn't even about me going on a weight loss journey. It's about somebody's own struggles with their own physical state.
I think you're right. And then me saying something to the effect of I'm going to make a healthy decision was offensive. And they went, no, you can't do that.
Because I'm not going to do that. And so they came at me. And so I went, hey man, water off the duck, you know? As they say. Water off the duck, I've never heard that. Water off the duck's back. Oh, I have heard that.
Yeah. Water off the duck. Your words don't hurt me. Sticks and stones in that, you know? Sticks and stones may break my bones. That's right. But words will never hurt me.
Except that they do. No. Words are hurtful.
Yeah, no way, rubber glue. Boing flip. Boing flip. Nice one. Right. That's how I live my life. You have to deal with your own issues, buddy. Go have another bag of animal crackers. Yeah, and calm down. I don't care. Eat them.
I'm not judging you. One of each left. I mean, you brought them in yesterday, you said. That's a pretty big consumption day. But there's lots of people that work here.
That is correct. Now you're not gonna make anybody, people are gonna get self-conscious and now nobody's gonna get their snacks. I'm not judging anybody, except for one guy who gave me a bunch of grief. I thought you just said boing flip.
Yeah, no. Water off the duck. It has boinged off of me and now I'm flipping it at you. At me? No. No. This isn't about you. What? You pointed at me.
You're just the, you're in the area. Does that make it better? Yes.
Flip it out toward the door. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Go eat some snacks. Yeah, or don't. I don't care what you do.
That's right, you live your life. So yesterday I asked you if you felt like we were spending too much time together. Yeah, you said are we like actually married or are we just roommates? Or roommates, like pals, like what's going on? Yeah, that was the beginning of a conversation. We've been very, very, very busy lately.
And it felt like we were just running through the motions of life, running this kid here, making dinner here, doing this here. And so I asked Google. What did you ask Google? It's pretty common. What did you ask Google? If you've been married for a while, it said it's pretty common for you and your spouse to start to feel like roommates. Okay.
Or coworkers. Okay, listen, here's the deal. And I told you this last night and it's still true this morning. I enjoyed doing the show with you. I think it's a great time. It's a great way to start the day. I wouldn't have it any other way.
It's awesome. And then you go to your other job and I stay here and we work independently from one another for the day and we reconnect back at home at the end of the day. And then it is busy, busy, busy.
It's errands, it's run emery here and there, it's dinner, it's try to talk to everybody in the family, it's hang out with the dog, it's try to decompress, try to do a hobby, chores. Like it's just, it's so much all the time. And so it feels heavy because there's not enough time to fully decompress. And what I told you yesterday was, I feel like we're just busy all the time. We don't have time to just lazily hang out. Like we don't get to just have fun because we, and we make the most of our time together and have fun. And we have four hours every morning where we get to have fun and laugh and all that stuff. But we are so like just busy the rest of the day that we don't get that like downtime to be like, hey, you just wanna hang out?
Or do you wanna go have a dinner somewhere? Or like it's just too busy, it's busy, nonstop. So it isn't that we aren't having a spark or aren't more than just roommates sharing a coexistent life, it's just busy right now. So we gotta exhale a little bit. Yeah, it's a check in. Gotta check in with your spouse. You gotta spend at least 20 minutes a day talking about Oh, here we go. Life. Without screens. You've gotta have emotional connection.
Daily emotional connection. You're putting too much pressure on. No, I'm not. It's already pressure. And now you're going, we need 20 minutes. You also have to schedule date nights. And we can get away. I totally agree.
You have to date your spouse. It's very important. And we just haven't been so busy. We gotta make more plans for date nights. It's what I'm saying. It's your turn. And now there's the pressure. See? You got to give a little.
You lock the lid on the instant pot and you hit go and then the pressure builds up. No, you're putting that pressure on yourself. I don't think so. It's your turn. 20 minutes every day.
Got to check in. I'm not trying to attack you. No, it's not what I said. I don't feel attacked. I feel fresh. No, you shouldn't though, because you're putting that pressure on yourself. I'm just saying I have planned the last couple of dates. Is that right?
Now, we were going to have a date to do a motorcycle ride. That's right. A year ago almost. Yeah. And we bought all new wardrobe to wear. That's right. So if you wanted to plan something along those lines. Well, and it's a little, I mean, the motorcycles out.
It's let's be real. And there's some real nice weather coming here and like the next between now and next week really nice, which is which is good news. But I haven't looked to see if the the reason that we got that stuff is for a motorcycle ride that happens in May. And I would very much like to do that, do that ride again. But it got canceled last year. Got canceled and we were going to do our own thing, but you haven't ever planned it.
So, oh, I get it. It's 65 days away. Is that far enough ahead to plan?
We were going to do our own thing. I guess not. I'm just telling you, I'm just telling you the ride is coming up on the 17th of May. Okay. So, you know, okay, but I'm going to put that on the calendar. Regardless, you got to take me on a date, dude. Okay, dude.
Is your turn to plan something. Roommate, buddy, pal. Dude.
Yeah. Or a weekend getaway. I know that sounds nice. Doesn't that sound amazing? I bet there's a nice cabin somewhere with a hot tub.
We could probably rent. I'm just, Is that right? Yeah, I'm just throwing that out there. As an idea.
Yeah, just an idea. I mean, you do you. But you've looked at it. Yeah, because you already told me earlier today that you were looking at cabins. And so now I know you've already researched it.
Yeah. So you've already done the planning. I know, but the point is that it's your turn.
There can't be one person that's always making the plans. I see. I see. It's a public call out. But why not?
Because I'm tired and it's your turn. You've already planned it. You already know where it is.
I just send me the link. No, I actually haven't. I haven't. There wasn't one particular place. I just know that there's stuff out there. Yeah, there is. So find one.
Oh, okay. Plan it. This is specifically what I want. Plan it. No, there's no specifics. I would just be happy if you plan something.
That's it. I planned dinner last night. Sure did. Good job.
Wow. You're done for the year. Husband of the day.
Not month, not week, not year. Husband of the day. That's me. Roommate. I'm going to get that on a shirt. Roommate of the day.
Roommate of the day. Okay. We had some kids who went to elementary school and... You mean when our kids went to elementary school? We had some kids that went to elementary school. Both of our children. When they went to elementary school, how many things do you think they lost?
Clothes, water bottles, lunch bags. One of them lost more than the other. And he lost probably three or four hoodies and jackets. I would say more than that, even. I would say three or four hoodies or jackets. Yeah, he misplaced a lot of things.
It was like every day. Where's your jacket? I left it at school. Where's your lunchbox?
I loved it at school. Yeah, I don't remember that happening. There were so many things that that boy lost. Yeah.
I just saw, I can't even imagine, and here's the thing, we would always go look in the lost and found. Right. And it would be swarmed with stuff.
Right. And I can't even imagine the poor school being like, these kids, get your stuff. And the text messages we would receive and the... Come look at the lost and found. Come check out your lost and like it's overwhelmed where lost and found is like taking up an entire classroom at this point. Come get your kids' stuff. I just saw a video where they put all the kids, it was a nice day and they put all the kids outside and they made a little runway. And they took all the lost and found outside.
And the teachers all did a fashion show. With the lost and found things. With the lost and found. They had them on hangars and they would hold them up and be like, if this is yours, come get it. Were they getting the stuff picked up?
I don't know. Where people were like, that's my jacket. Oh, my jacket.
I wondered where that went. My gloves. No, just one. It's just one glove. My left glove. It's never a pair of gloves that's lost.
It's true. Just one. My umbrella. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if it was like, I'm too busy with school and recess to think about it or what happens. But something along the way happens to where your brain goes, I don't even think I own a coat. This, this is your coat. No, I've never seen that before. No, my coat was blue. Has your name in this? Yeah, this is a blue coat.
Yeah, my coat was blue. Yeah, I know. Here it is. No, that's not mine. It was different. It has your name in it.
That one looks dirty. Beck? Is that your name?
Yeah, but that's not, I'm pretty sure that's not mine. And plus, also, I don't even remember wearing a coat today. Yeah, you didn't. You didn't wear a coat today because this one's been lost and found for two weeks. So, so many things that boy lost. Most of it never recovered. Definitely.
There were, there were some really nice hoodies that probably got claimed by somebody else or whatever. But, you know, that's where it goes. Yeah, because Beck had an older cousin who liked really nice stuff. Yeah, and would do hand-me-downs. And it was name brand stuff.
Right. And we'd be like, we can't afford this. So, you can't afford to lose this because it's not going to get replaced. Lost. I didn't even own that. Wasn't even mine. I don't even recognize it. Have you ever found, have you ever been in a situation where you were in charge of the lost and found?
Yeah, I have a lost and found at the, the scout hut. Oh, yeah. And it's full of like a sock. And a glove. No one will ever claim socks. Not once will, will a youth claim a sock. Because they probably haven't known it. Whose socks are these?
And it, not, and again, they could say the name. You're like, those aren't my socks. That's a mystery sock. Do you think it's embarrassment? That sock appeared in the woods. Or do you think they just don't know what their socks look like? I have no idea.
I think they probably. I don't even own socks. I only have feet.
If it's not laundered and put away in their drawer by their mom, they're like, I don't know. I don't, do I have socks? Socks don't exist. What are, what even is a sock? What is that? Like a mitten?
I don't even understand. A, a foot mitten? No, I don't own those. Do you ever give yourself like if there's something cool in there, you're like, okay, if this isn't claimed in a year, that's coming home with me. I have enough stuff. I've done that before. It's never good stuff. But yeah, there's been lost and found stuff that I go, oh, that's actually kind of cool. If that's not claimed in a year.
That's mine. A year is a pretty big window. Six months maybe. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Do you, do you give that item the same appropriate attention as an item you don't want?
What do you mean? Like do you go, hey, we still have this item that's in the lost and found? Or do you go, no, I'm not going to send that email? No, I don't, I don't send emails about lost and found.
I don't work at a school. I understand. I'm just saying, like if, if people were saying, hey, I lost this thing and you, like if you found a set of keys, you might go a little extra and go, hey, we really need to find the keys. Yeah. Right. That seems like an important item.
Yes. But if it's an important item that's also cool that you want, would you still go, hey, we still have this item? I would.
If it was something of value, then yes, I would. Right. Yeah. Like a Batman figurine. Yeah.
So lost and found item or a Mickey Mouse. Hey, those. I'm just telling you. I did not. They found you and the found. I found those in parking lots.
I understand. Abandoned by their kids. And they get pictures taken at random places. Yeah.
It's great. I just am saying these are the types of things that show up in lost and found. Yeah. Sometimes. Yeah. Like one toddler shoe. Mm hmm. You know, we really need to find the kid who lost the shoe. Right now, currently, yeah.
Cause I'm in charge of the lost and found at my other job. And right now we have a basket. I'm not even kidding you of reading glasses. You could take a pic of any of them. There's so many of them. Yeah. And water bottles for days. Really? Yeah. Interesting.
Mm hmm. I should start a work lost and found, but it's just a basket of things I take off people's desks. Someone left this on a desk. Yeah. On my desk. We found this. This isn't claimed in six months. This is mine.
Yeah. Whose cup is this? I found it on a desk in an office. It was locked. I unlocked the door and I found this. Please claim it. If not, it's mine. That sounds like a fun time. That's a good use of company time.
Yeah. Making a false lost and found. I like it. This is mine now. Yeah. If this isn't claimed by the end of the day, I'm keeping it. That's my artwork.
Like what? That's my stapler. You took that off my wall. With my name on it. That's my stapler.
Mm hmm. That is a whole plant. You're going to take this entire plant.
If someone tried to take Vincent Van Grohe behind me. Yeah. We found this plant. You don't know who it belongs to.
Left behind. It's been sitting on this counter for like years. Somebody claim it. This is some cool news.
The largest wildlife crossing in North America just opened in Colorado. Okay. So is this the idea of let's build a big wide grass covered. Yes. Overpass. Yes. For the animals to use to hopefully try to deter them from crossing in the road. Correct.
Where the cars are. That's the idea. Yep. It's designed to connect 39,000 acres of habitat. It is a 200 foot wide structure. It aims to reduce dangerous vehicle wildlife collisions by up to 90% for elk, deer, bears, and mountain lions. I like the concept. I think we need to do what we can to mitigate those types of accidents.
It was a lot of money. For the sake of wildlife and for drivers. Yeah. It was a lot of money to build this overpass.
It was $15 million. Yeah. I imagine so. How much is a regular overpass? I don't. I couldn't tell you.
Yeah. Well, I like that this is like a nature one. So this one is a 3.7 mile gap in an area where wildlife collisions occurred roughly once a day during peak season. So they said, wildlife. That's what they said. Yeah. Somebody said that's wild. And they said, wildlife.
Okay. I like that they're doing this. I think it's cool too.
I think this is a good move. They mostly want to help their pronghorn and their deer situation. Elk and pronghorn. Yeah. Makes sense.
But it is also used by moose, bear, and mountain lions. Yeah. I like it. I think money well spent.
And hopefully I'm going to be really curious to see the data after a couple of years. Did they put cameras on it? Can you watch wildlife cross it? Oh, I don't know.
That would be cool. Where is it at? It's in Colorado. Wildlife overpass.
That's what I'm going to search for. In Greenland, Colorado, I think. The Greenland overpass. Yeah.
Colorado Department of Transportation, complete construction on the I-25 Greenland, blah, blah, blah, blah. Is there a live video? I don't know, Josh. Let's see. Do you see anything? No. Dang it. Wasted opportunity. I mean, it would be really cool to see.
Let me look. Wildlife cams in Colorado. They've got like some mountain cameras.
And I don't see anything specific to this overpass, which is too bad because I would really like to see that in action. I think that would be really cool. I agree. Because it'd be cool to, if you got like a notification, you could get an app.
Yeah. And then you could get a notification if there was movement on the overpass. And then people could be like, oh, moose on the overpass. It's a moose.
It's a milk. Yeah, 15 million they're saying. Is that what you said? That's what I said.
Yep. That's pretty impressive. It crosses six lanes of interstate traffic. That's a lot of lanes.
I said 3.7 miles. It's wild. It's a beast, but.
Well, it's not 3.7 miles long. Let me be clear. It connects. There's a span of interstate that's that long that doesn't have a safe way for animals to cross. So now they built the overpass in sort of the middle of that.
Yeah. It's 200 feet wide. 209 feet long. Featuring 76 girders to support the deck. That's a decent amount of girder. I mean, look, I'm no overpass expert, but that seems like a lot of girder. What's a girder?
A big concrete thing. Yep. Yep. Yep.
A large iron or steel beam. Yeah. Check out that. Oh, yeah, I've seen those. A girder.
Yeah. Why is it called a girder? Probably named after the guy who invented it. Henry Girder. What's the difference between a girder and a beam? Probably the size. What's the difference between a girder and a joist?
Joists are way different. Of course. Yeah. Henry that girder. Oh, do you mean the joist?
No, I do not. And also you can't hand me a girder. Why can't I?
They're huge. Yeah, but I could with some help hand it to you. I guess. Hand me that beam. With that crane.
Do you mean the girder? Yeah, I'll hand it to you. All right.
You're on. Who do you think has been broadcast to you as a villain, but in actuality is not a villain? Could be fictional or real people. Oh, man. I'll start.
Okay. Tom from Tom and Jerry, the cat. I mean, he's just doing his cat thing.
He's just doing his job. So would you say the same thing about Thelvester? I guess. Jerry, I feel is the real villain, the mouse, because he was instigating stuff. Sure.
He was like, I'm gonna. So what about Road Runner and Wiley Coyote? Same kind of thing. Again. Anytime you've got a predator hunting prey, as all three of these examples are, that's nature's course.
And all three of the, the praise in these stories are weaponized. Thank you, Acme. I used to think Acme was a real thing.
Oh, it is. They make anvils. Yeah, they do. The Acme Anvil Company. And Dynamite. And they move pianos. Yeah. And sheets of glass. And hammers with spring-loaded punching fists. Yeah.
A fictional one, another fictional villain that's not really a villain. This was brought to my attention just recently because I watched this movie again, but the dad from Dirty Dancing, as a kid watching that, as a teenager watching that movie, I was like, oh, that dad is the worst. Let her do what she wants. Put her in a corner. Now, as an adult and a parent, I go, yeah, that girl's 16 years old. Yeah. And she asked him for money. With that no questions asked. And she was dating somebody that was much older than her.
Yeah, I'd have a lot of questions. The dad is not the villain in that story. No, it was just being dad. I saw, I read it post about this question. Okay. So somebody had said, Henry the Eighths' wives. Oh, very interesting. All of them? Yes. I mean, there's a whole musical about them. I don't, I don't think they're villains.
No. I think they were victims. I feel like Henry the Eighth is the, there is the villain. Right.
The Salem witches. Okay. Over time, we have learned.
See, we learn, we do better when we learn. The dingo ate my baby, lady. The dingo. Yeah. No, I know the audio. What's the story?
It's about a dog that stole a baby. Yeah. Yeah. Have you not really heard this? I've heard the line, but I don't know the actual story. The actual story is that there was a woman camping. Yeah. And she claimed that a dingo ate her baby.
Okay. And everyone was like, no way, dude. No way.
Turns out a dingo really did eat her baby. No kidding. Yeah. Huh. She was not, she's not a villain, but people thought she was. Okay. I think a lot of people thought bad things about the lady who got the hot coffee from McDonald's.
Yeah. That whole story is wild. Like it was gnarly. No, it really was.
She got severe, severe burns. Yeah. It was crazy. That whole story. But people were like, you're going to sue. You're just wanting to pay a day. That woman deserved every penny.
Yeah. Because that was too hot of coffee. And when you spill it, it goes into your lap in your seat where you're sitting and you can't just escape it. Yeah. That's wild. Somebody put pit bulls on the list. That's interesting.
I think that entire dog breed has gotten a bad name unnecessarily. Yeah. True. Poor pit bulls. Yeah.
And pit bull the singer too. Oh, sure. No, nobody thinks. Mr. 305. Nobody thinks he's a villain. Somebody said Squidward. No, listen, that guy's just trying to live his life. He's an awkward guy. He just wants to play and to play as Clarinet.
To play as Clarinet. SpongeBob and Patrick are always up in his business. He's like, let me just play my life.
Can I just live my life without you two running around using your imaginations? Did he play the Clarinet or the saxophone? It was a Clarinet.
Clarinet. Okay. You got anybody else? No.
Okay. I mean, you know, like I think about all of the actual villains in comic books or comic book movies or, you know, Star Wars or any of that kind of stuff. Like, I don't go like, I really feel bad for that Anakin Skywalker.
Like, no. What about Gollum? What about him? Do you think he's a villain? I think he's a victim of circumstance. Yeah, poor Gollum.
But also, that has to end. But also, Samwise and Frodo weren't very nice to him. He was like, guys, let me just be your friend.
No, that was not what he said. Buddy, hey guys. He did not want friends.
Can I be a part of this club? That is not what Gollum wanted. Get out of here, Gollum.
Get out. I want to hear your Cliff Notes version of Epic Tales like that, like three-part series. You just going through the bullet points. Of the Lord of the Rings? Start there and then do all three of the Back to the Futures and then do a bunch of Indiana Jones and then Star Wars and anything that has like a big multi-part series, the born movies, like whatever.
I haven't seen those. Yeah, but just make it up. Okay. What's it about?
All the 007s. Okay, I could. I could.
I could do it. We could make that a bit. We could. We could make that a radio bit. That could be fun. Yeah. You doing that.
Okay, what about? He wants to be a friend. No, he doesn't. Friend. That's not what he wants.
Yes it is. He wants his precious. Friends. That is.
Precious friends. No, that is not what he wants. You don't know. I do.
He's like my precious friend. And you know what Sam wants? More breakfast. That's what he wants. Say, would you rather this or that?
Say, would you rather take the game-winning shot or give the assist to a teammate? I know what you're going to say. What do you think I'm going to say? So I'm going to assist you in that you want to take the game-winning shot. Of course I do. Because you want the props. And by that I mean literally you want to be propped up on shoulders and celebrated for winning the big game. Yeah, just once.
Everybody deserves to have that at least once in their life. Yeah, so I'm going to be the assist guy. I'm going to give you the big layup.
You just have to go grab it and dunk it. Here's what's going to happen though. You would do everything in your power to assist me and I'd still mess it up somehow.
I'd still be like, oh, I do much pressure. Miss. It's your confidence that really sets you apart. It's just what it is.
Yeah. And then the whole team would be so mad at me. No one's going to be mad at you. They'd be so disappointed. They'd be like, we knew she was going to mess it up.
Why'd you assist her? Then I'd be left alone on the court crying. Oh no. That's how my TV movie goes. Is that right? Yeah. That's a sad TV movie. I know. I know. And then I'm just all alone on the court. Like man, everyone hates me. Wow. I miss the game-winning shot.
It is your self-confidence that really sets you apart. Did I have told you? Yes. I mean really, you can do anything you can dream of. Anything you want.
Just first step is confidence and a willingness to try and a support system to support you. I'm giving you the assist. Yeah, you do. You are my support. And there it is.
And now you just got to just get it and go. Don't think about it. Don't overthink it. Just do the action. Let the muscle memory take hold.
That's my problem right there is I overthink. Just stop it. Easy. That's it. Just stop it. Turn it off.
And take that game-winning shot. Okay. Would you rather this or that? There are a couple of concerts. Well, first of all, there's a couple of concerts that we're going to. We've got some tickets to go to a band called the Dead South. We've got tickets to go to the Jimmy World Anniversary Show. So those are both concerts we're looking forward to this summer as things kind of get rolling on.
There are many, many, many shows either locally or in Boise or Salt Lake that we would travel to see if tickets weren't so dang expensive. Holy moly. Here's the thing. We love to go see live music. We love to go to concerts. There's a band on Friday that's coming.
I looked at tickets because I'm like, this is kind of a bucket list band for me. Yeah. Is that show this Friday? Yes. Okay.
I did not know that. Too expensive. Couple of days away. How much were tickets? Insane.
Over $100 for the nose, nose, nose please. One seat. That's wild.
Yeah. We have some really rich friends. They're real close to the stage. Right. Richie Richies. Yeah.
Jesus. And also thanks for inviting us. No, he invited us. We just have to pay for our own tickets.
Thanks for buying us our tickets. What? We get a form sitting next to you? Yeah. Yeah. Thanks for the gift.
I told them to take and send me lots of pictures because... It's going to be a good show. Yeah, it is. And I'm so sad. Yeah.
Because I really want to go. The other show is the gorillas that just went on sale. And our son loves the gorillas. Has ever since he was a little kid.
Yeah. I remember he was like three years old and he sat and listened to the entire album with headphones on. Just still can be just listening. It's fascinating music.
It's very, very cool. And they announced their tour and they've got a date in Salt Lake, right? And you looked at tickets yesterday and good seats, where were the seats?
No, the nosebleeds. You were still looking at the top row. The cheapest seats were $108. Per seat. Yeah.
It's wide. Plus it's on Ticketmaster so you don't have to pay all those fees. Well, all the fees are built into that price now. They had to change that. Oh, seriously?
Yeah. That's why they're so expensive. The ticket's probably $60, but they've got $48 worth of fees that are making it $108. It's insane. I know it is. I can't afford that.
It's a racket. Too poor. I know. I'm just poor. I'm just sad because I want to see those shows. Right.
I don't know how you fix it. I know that when we were younger, 20 years ago, in the good old days, it cost you like $25 to get a ticket to go stand in the pit and watch a show. You were like, yeah, but I could sit down. I'll pay 40 to go sit down. Now, you got to pay hundreds of dollars to stand in the pit. You pay less to have a seat. Sometimes. But I saw a conversation the guys down the hall were having online about people that buy a seat but then stand the whole show.
And is that okay? Because they paid for a seat, but then they're standing blocking the view of other people that paid for a seat. And I went, yeah, like I've stood at a concert. But I only stand.
When we went to Panning with the disco, we stood pretty much the whole time. I only like to stand when the people in front of me are standing and it blocks my view. And then I kind of look back to the people behind me like, I'm sorry, but I can't see. So now I'm going to have to stand and obstruct your view. But if the people in front of me remain seated, then I'm fine sitting too. And I can do a shimmy in my seat. Sure.
Chair dancing. You bet. Look at you. Doing it right now.
I know. See how it looks. It looks comfortable. It looks cool, doesn't it?
The coolest. I know. I know.
I know. We also got invited to Bruno Mars. He's performing in Vegas. We got invited? Yeah, our rich friends invited us.
They didn't buy tickets though? Not for us. Thanks for the gift. Thanks for the gift.
Like I said, no, I can't afford that. Where's that show? In Vegas. No, I heard you, but where? What venue? I don't know. I couldn't tell you. That'd be a cool show.
I said, I can't afford that. Metallic is going to be at the sphere. No doubts got a residency coming up too. No doubt in 90s, cool. No doubt now?
Yeah, but it's the actual original members all back together doing the no doubt thing. I don't know. I don't know about it. Tell me what you think about it on Sunday morning and then we'll see.
On Sunday morning. You see, yeah, right? That could be a cool show. It might be a cool show.
It could be, and it's going to be a bunch of our age people. I know. I know.
That's the thing, isn't it? We're all sitting now. When we went to the offspring show, it was a bunch of our age people. I'm like, oh, hey, what's up high school buddies that I've known since second grade? Like what's going on? How's life? Good? We're still old.
Got it. Hey, but look, we're watching a punk rock band that we listened to when we first got our driver's license. Man, oh man, that punk rock band looks not so punk anymore.
Do they? No, they looked way punk rock and they sounded great. They did sound good. They just look like old punk rockers. That's all. Still very punk rock. Anyway.
What were your prices though, guys? Yeah, like make it accessible. And I don't like dynamic pricing. I think that's got to go away.
What's that? I think that should be banned as things become more popular and the demand goes up. The price goes up. That's rude. That is rude. The ticket's what the ticket is. And here's the real problem with Ticketmaster and then I'll get off my soap box about them.
They buy their own tickets and resell their own tickets. How do you know that? Because that is the entire scheme. So they will make a ton of money off of their own tickets by buying a big selection of them and reselling them.
So here's your hack. You've got to be ready to go to the show. You have to have the expectation that you're going to go to the show and keep it on your calendar, even if you can't afford it weeks or days in advance.
Day of the show. Go look at prices because a bunch of people who are trying to sell their tickets for hundreds of dollars will try to hurry and offload them at a much lower price. And there's a potential you can get tickets to the show day of. Okay, but you have to be ready to go because it could be literally hours before the show that you're able to secure a cheaper ticket.
Let's be ready to go on Friday to that show. You do the scoping and we'll see what happens because it's a drive. I know. So you got to be ready. I know. That's how it works. It's a gas prices. It's the whole thing. I know. If you stay in the night, you got it. I know.
It's not going to happen. That's the part that's also not considered by a ticket venue. They don't go, oh, but you're also going to have to drive here and you're also going to have to stay.
They just go come to the show or don't. Wow. And it's not their responsibility. I understand. But come on. Let me go to the show. Please want to go to the shows.
Just give me stuff. But making me have to choose between food and fun. Yeah. Yeah. Come on. Yeah. I don't want to pay my power bill.
I just want to go to the show. Yeah. Let's wrap up the show.
