Full show transcript:
Hey, hi, how you doing? Welcome to the show. It's Josh and Chantel, and this is the podcast. It's like we took the whole show for four hours today, and then we took out all the music and commercials and stuff, and we just gave you us talking for like an hour.
Lucky you. You're welcome. We found out, we discovered last night, that two of our favorite podcasts, one of your favorite podcasts, were on Netflix. That's correct.
And we got pretty excited about it. So your podcast that you really like to listen to is My Favorite Murder. Yes. Who are the hosts? Karen and Georgia. Karen and Georgia, and you love them.
I love them. And that is now on Netflix, so you can watch the episodes that they've recorded. And it looks like they've gone and done some archival stuff, so it's like, they've got some new stuff in there, but they've got some like best ofs and things like that. Right.
Yeah. And yours, one of yours is... Last podcast on the left, which is fantastic. It's Marcus, it's Ed, and it's the craziest human being you've ever met, Henry Zabrowski.
And I've met these guys, I went to their show Live last year, great, great, great show. It's not for, what do we want to say? It's got plenty of adult language. It's very crude. It's not for the faint of heart.
So if you're not into hearing those types of things, maybe don't listen. They also have This Is Important on there too, which is one of your favorite ones too. Yeah, so This Is Important is the workaholics guys. That's really cool.
Awesome. What I found out though is I listen to these podcasts, and I don't like to listen to audiobooks because I can't focus on what they're saying. I can't focus on somebody reading me a story. But for podcasts, it's different because they're not reading a story, they're telling me a story. Yeah, I get that. For some reason, I can follow along better doing that.
Last night as we turned on one of the podcasts, I had a hard time following along with the story because I couldn't stop looking at what was behind them. Oh, interesting. Like one of them couldn't sit still and he was kind of fidgety.
Right. And so then I was focused on that, and then I was focused on what they were wearing. And I couldn't, I was like, I don't even know what they're talking about. And that was fascinating to me because I'm like, why can't I follow along? That's what happens when I read a book. If I open up a book to read, I'll be reading along and my eyeballs will keep reading the words. But my brain left and is thinking about something else for 15, 20 minutes. And then I go, I have no idea why I'm still on the same page. Watching the podcast. And I read this and reread this and reread this.
And then I get tired and I'm like, I can't read a book. I was looking at what was on the shelves behind them and I was like, that's an interesting choice. I wonder where they got that. Did they get that as a gift or did they buy that?
Where would you buy something like that? And why would they decorate it like that? A lot of what they have behind them was given to them at different shows and stuff.
People bring them gifts. But I couldn't. And then I was like, I have no idea what they're talking about.
Right. I gotta restart this episode. They were talking about chimney sweeps. And so then I finally closed my eyes because I was like, if I close my eyes and don't watch, then I'll be able to follow along. Oh, okay.
But then you fell asleep. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, that checks out. But it kind of cool, kind of exciting. I know.
And I know like our podcast is on YouTube, but it's not like you can't watch us make the show yet. Yes. Yet.
Let's get a Netflix deal. Yeah, I know. Right. Wouldn't that be amazing?
It's pretty cool though. I'm excited for all of those podcasts. There's quite a lot of podcasts on here. Yeah.
Netflix added a whole podcast section. I think it's cool. I'm excited.
Yeah. I want to figure out how to get our podcasts on Netflix. That would be awesome. That would be amazing.
I don't even know. Like, you know, if people can just publish their own, that would be really cool. Like we can put our own on Spotify and Apple podcasts. We don't have video.
I know. Well, we have some clips and stuff, but we aren't producing a full video. Here's the thing that I was really spent some time with. I was looking at the way that they have the podcast set up and I went, I could absolutely do this. Like I have all of the knowledge to make our podcast look just like that. I don't want it to look just like that. But I'm saying like the way it's framed, the way it's presented, the way they cut to different video clips and different things, I could absolutely 100 percent make that happen. They do it.
I have all the technology to do that. Why don't you do it? Oh, it's hard work. Oh, OK. And I'm lazy. I could do.
But I absolutely could do that. And that's really exciting because I think the future for this show and for us as a podcast and as a radio show is certainly in that space. And so being able to watch us make this show, I think is probably the next like iteration of what's to come.
So get excited. If you have thoughts or concerns or comments or things you want to reach out to the show, you can anytime. Just send us an email. It's wakeupclassy97 at gmail.com.
And thanks for hanging out with us. Hopefully soon on Netflix. Maybe. Maybe.
Who knows? Maybe I'll figure out a way. Shoot high. You know why not?
Why not? Dream big. I feel like our show's good.
That makes one of us. How to get your podcast on Netflix. All right. It currently requires high quality, long form video content. All right. We'll get there. It's all it takes. I get it. Enjoy the show.
Soon on Netflix. Hey, good morning. Hey. How's it going?
Fine. This morning as we were getting out of bed, you said, are you sick today? And I said, no.
You said, sure. Sure you're not sick. I'm not sick. Are you sick? Or you just want to be sick?
I don't want to be sick. You just want to not go to work. But I just wanted to have a, yeah.
I just didn't want to get out of bed. So, yeah. So then I was just like, hey, I feel fine.
Do you feel fine? Yeah. Cool. Let's go to work. So it's not that I don't want to be sick because, ew. But I would like a day off. This is the same thing we said yesterday. Is the same thing I say every day. I'll keep saying it until I retire. Okay. And then you're going, oh, now I'm bored.
No. What am I going to do today? I don't think I'll ever be bored. No? No, I have too many things that I like to do.
Okay. I look forward to it. I mean, it's years and years away, but I do look forward to it when I can just wake up and go fishing. Lazily. And be like, what am I going to do today? Have a slow morning. Yeah, just not that nice.
Wake up with the sunrise. No, that sounds awful. Does it? I'll do that maybe once. Because I'm going to bed early when I'm retired. I'm just on this like dinner at four. Like, you know, I look forward to that. It's like, it's four o'clock.
I'm going to get some dinner and I'm going to tuck it in here in about two and a half hours. Three. What do you know? I don't know much. I don't know much. Okay.
But I know how to do that. I know that's a vocal stem. I know it's International Lego Day, which is very exciting. I never did get that Goonies Lego.
No. You know what's interesting is I haven't even seen it. I've been looking around to see it in person and I haven't seen it anywhere. Because I think the stores know they're not going to sell it at $400.
They have other Legos and it's $329. Bro. Bro. You know, it's so cool.
It is cool, but sorry, I wasn't going to buy that for you. But then there's other ones I haven't seen like Stranger Things put out the Creel House. I've seen in person the upside down one that has Hawkins and then also has Hawkins upside down depending on how you display it. We saw the Twilight House. We did see the Twilight House and the piggyback in the tree. I don't know what that is about. If you stumble across the Twilight House one, take a look at the piggyback in the tree. I know what it is.
What is it? Well, Edward Bella. Yeah. Climbs on his back and they climb a tree. So that's in the movie?
Yeah. But why? To show how. He's fast.
Vampires are fast. So to show off his skills, he says hop on. Yeah. And does a piggyback up a tree?
Yeah. And then, oh wow. I don't know the movie very well at all, but she says something like, you're a monkey or something. She says that? It's something like that. A spider monkey, something. Hold on. Okay.
I've never seen this. Hold on tight, he says. Hold on tight. Yeah. And? I'm pulling this up here.
Hang on. I didn't know that you had never seen the movies. Have you never seen the movies? No. Yep. That's what happens. I believe. I've only seen them once because hold on tight spider monkey is what he says. He says hold on tight spider monkey? Yeah. I'm going to tell you right now, I'm watching this.
This is not good. The CGI? No, the rope work or whatever. This is weird. Well, those movies were made a long time ago.
Not like in the 70s. Give it some grace, man. Oh boy. I didn't know that was, I just thought that was a weird way to display Lego figures. I didn't know they were actually doing this. Yeah, they actually piggy backed up a tree.
To look out at the lake. Wow. It was romantic. Oh, oh yeah. It is.
That's ridiculous. Hold on tight spider monkey. Yeah, yeah. All right. I did. Neat. Hey, here's some good news.
This is super cool. There is an author in Kent, England and her name is Tola Kogu. And she is making an impact on students by donating 30,000 copies of her book. That's incredible.
That's awesome. Now let me tell you who she's donating them to and the name of her book is Onyeka and the Academy of the Sun. She is donating these 30,000 copies of her book to disadvantaged children across the UK. She's partnering with a reading charity called Bookmark Reading Charity. And she's on a mission to bridge the literacy gap for children who often don't have a single book to call their own at their home.
Yeah. And she isn't just handing out her story. She's trying to spark a genuine love for reading. She said, we want kids to read, but they're not going to do it if they aren't enjoying it. And I'm all about bringing the fun back to reading. Only 38% of children currently read for pleasure in the UK.
How much? 38%. Oh, that needs to be higher.
Correct. And so the charity is also calling for volunteers to give just one hour a week to help children dig into books. It's a big time win for young imaginations and a great reminder that the right story can change lives. That's true. Which I think is really cool. So good on Tola.
Yeah, that's nice. I don't know much about her book, Onyeka and the Academy of the Sun, but I probably should figure out a little bit about her book. Because she's doing big things. She's doing good stuff. Yeah, 30,000 copies being donated, which is pretty incredible.
So way to go, Tola. Wow. Yeah. Good job.
That is good news. I sent you a link because I wanted you to see this. Go ahead and open up that link because there is this woman.
Her name is Caroline Vizana and she's gone viral for wearing what she calls cube jeans. So I wanted to get your take on it. There is a video, if you scroll down the bottom there and you can see them in action. Okay. They are very, very, very much SpongeBob's SquarePants. They really are. Yeah. It's not my style. Do they go all the way around? You bet they do. It kind of just looks like a paper doll where it's just the front.
It is not though. They are all the way around SquarePants. How do they stay up? Good question.
Other people have asked what happens if a big wind comes up. Right. Life is too short to wear boring clothes, she said. Right. Did you watch the video? I'm watching the video now. Where she's walking in them?
Yes. She's walking strange. She is walking strange. I don't know why she's walking like that. She took a little leap in them. Yeah.
I would like to know how they stay upon your hips and your waist. It's a great question. Okay.
All right. She shows you in the next video how they work. So there's an internal belt system that's like normal pants inside and then the, and you can, you can wear a belt in there, but then the pants themselves.
It's like she bought like a, like a huge wasted pant and then turned them into square pants. Okay. Yeah. I see the belt that's right inside there. So you cinched that. But it's not like pants inside the pants. It's just the belt.
Yeah. So if it rains, your legs are getting wet. You're right.
And you'd have to wear like a longer shirt because. Right. Otherwise. You can just, I mean, you could carry lots of candy in the sides, I guess.
You can look right on down there and see skin. That is very true. That is very true. Yeah. But what a strange choice.
What a strange choice indeed. And also, yeah, if it rains. Watch out. Those just became buckets. Well, it's open on the other end too. The legs are still open. Well, it wouldn't hold the water, but it became a tube.
I don't know what she called it. How do you sit in them? Probably like normal. But then you got this big old waist, big square waist. Fashion. And then again, I guess you could tuck your hands inside of it if you get cold. Fashion.
But here's the other piece. They're pretty open. Yeah. It's a cube. I know.
It's going to get chilly. Yeah. This is version 1.0. We're going to need a version 2.0 that seals up the top.
Yeah. You're going to need to seal up that top area. Maybe put in real pockets. Maybe. Here's a wacky idea.
What is it? Just by a regular pants. Yeah, but what about square pants? Cube jeans or box jeans.
They look like SpongeBob's square pants. Yeah. 100%. That's what they look like.
And I guess if you're really super into it, you can pick some up. I bet they're... I'm trying to see the jeans originated. I was trying to see if they were going to be made available to purchase. I was going to say, did she make them or did she buy them? Is she the designer of these jeans?
She's got to be. You think? Yeah. Okay. Well, that's not for me, but maybe they're for someone.
You know? Yeah, I'm not wearing them. I don't think they make them for men. But they could.
Yeah, they absolutely could. It's just big pants with a belt inside and then some sewing to make them square. You're not wrong about the paper doll vibe. It looks like they were just pasted on when you look at it from the front because they're so flat. Yeah. So it looks like it's just the front side of you that's got some jeans on. Yeah.
And then the back side of you is going to be open. She's got over 4 million views on this video. Well, yeah. And then now she's got the whole world talking about it.
Because people are like, what? Mission accomplished, I guess. Cube jeans. Go get yourself a pair. Or don't.
Or don't. Sweethearts, the Candy Hearts Company is updated their conversation hearts with more practical messages for 2026. Okay, like what? They're calling this collection love in this economy. Okay. So they've got their new messages include split rent, carpool, share login, L-O-G-N. All right.
Buy in bulk, cook for two. There's no question marks on any of them. What do you have fun about? Go ahead. It's for dating in 2026. Who's using conversation hearts to date? Who's using conversation hearts at all? I mean, look, if this proves to anyone who ever, ever doubted that they are not the same as Candy Corn, this is, this is definitely because Candy Corn, they made once prove me wrong. See, conversation hearts, you can't say they only made them once because they're like, no, they got different words on them every year. The only thing, the only reason people buy, I feel the same as about Candy Corn too.
The only reason people buy Candy Corn and conversation hearts, not to eat them. Decoration. To play games.
Okay. Like room moms buy these to play games with kids. Very good point.
Very good point. Yeah. Decorations if you need them for a decoration, but you don't want to use them for decoration because it's food.
I don't know. I mean like a bowl of them. Like you put a bowl of them out for Halloween or a bowl of them out for Valentine's Day, but nobody's like, oh, I can't wait to dig into that Candy Corn. I like Candy Corn. I'll eat it. I'll eat one or two.
And then that's it. But conversation hearts, nobody's eating those. No one. No. Why would you? I don't know.
I know that we're going to get a message from somebody that's like, I like Candy Hearts. Okay. That's fine.
That is fine. I went through a chalk eating phase as well. What? They're so gross. They are really gross. They're really like, you know, when they get wet and they're kind of soft and squishy. Have you ever had them when they're in a little damp? No. You can almost chew them. Okay.
They aren't keeping some of their classic ones like cutie pie and marry me, but they're just adding a few that the new generations might relate to. I see. Cook for two. What?
No. Buy in bulk. These aren't even romantic things. Like if I hand you the buy in bulk conversation heart, what do you think?
I guess we're going to Costco. Like what does that mean? It's almost like Taco Bell put out their hot sauces. Yeah. Like conversation hearts, not too long ago. I mean, it's been a while. For years and years and years for a very long time. It's been a long time. Like since I was in high school, it's been 20 plus years.
They've been doing that. Not too long ago. Yeah. It's a pretty new idea.
Maybe you've heard of it, but I haven't seen. I feel like theirs are more romantic than the candy hearts. Right. I'm trying to think of some that the Taco Bell one say, but now I can't think of any. Let's look it up real quick.
Look it up fast. Josh, do you want to share a Netflix password? Share login.
Here's what happens. We do share our login because yeah, we have one account. But half the time, sometimes you're like, Oh, I had to update the password. And then you don't tell me what it is or you do tell me what it is and I forget. And then you go, Oh, Josh doesn't share the password with me because it hates me.
Yeah, that's it. This, this packet says, you're my forever. That's romantic. This, this one says, I'm the hot one. That's the hot sauce. This one says good choice. The hot sauce packets are more romantic than the sweetheart. That's what I'm saying. Is our sweethearts made by Brax?
They made by the same candy corn company. Are you looking it up? It is tiny. It's Brock's candy that makes the conversation hearts. And is that who makes candy corn? Yeah. Yeah, it is. I feel like.
Brax. See, I just had a theory that they were in on this being the same kind of gross candy. They're, they don't make good candy. I'm going to tell them you said that. I got to look at what else they make. They make the candy corn pumpkin.
Also not good. They do make the Imperial hearts, the little cinnamon Imperial hearts. I like those. Those are not bad. Those are really good.
They get stuck in your teeth a lot. Yeah, but I kind of like it. They have a way, they have a recipe here for Brock's cinnamon Imperial heart punch.
I don't think that sounds very good. Here's the thing about those Imperial heart. Why are they called Imperial hearts?
Great question. I can't stop at one of those. I have to eat the entire bag in one sitting because you got to get a handful and you throw it in your mouth. Is that right? Yep. That's why you eat those. Uh-huh. So here's the thing.
I'm at the Brock's website right now. Their products in their menu are sorted by holiday. They're all about this. Their entire existence is around Easter, Halloween, holiday, Valentine's. What do they make for Easter?
They make candy canes for Christmas. They make jelly beans. Jelly beans, yep. They're the people behind jelly beans. They're the people behind the bad candy. That's what I'm saying.
How are they still in business? Halloween, it's candy corn. And then the autumn mix, which comes with the pumpkins.
Or you can get the pumpkins by themselves. They are also the chewy caramels that people melt for caramel apples. They also make their own mellow cream caramel apple candy. And then they have the harvest candy corn, the ones with the chocolate instead of the little white part. They make candy canes in lots of different flavors. They make those soft peppermints for Christmas. Oh, those are gross too.
I know. They make a ton of conversation hearts. And then in their everyday candy category, guess what they make?
What? The peppermints, the little red and white peppermints that are just peppermint. Yeah, yeah. They make hard caramels.
That's it. They make the... Hey, hey. They're not in the good candy business. I got a great business idea.
Wanted to make terrible candy for years. People will love it. It's still staying in business.
Because people keep buying it. But for why? Not to eat, to give to people they don't like. For games. No.
Yes. There's also a recipe here for Brock's Conversation Heart Whoopee Pies. So you can make that. Romantic. Sweetheart Fudge, which has those imperial hearts in it. I want some of those imperial hearts right now. Can you get...
It's Valentine's Day. I bet you can get those. No, I can't.
I can't get those. I'll eat the whole bag. They're so good. That's the only thing they make.
By the handful. That's good. That's the one that you like?
Yeah. That's why I said you're going to eat them by the handful. The bag will be gone in a minute. Yeah, I know it will. Don't buy it. Those are so good though.
Anyway, so Brock's doesn't make good candy. Hot take. Hot take.
Hey, but they made new conversation hearts with hip slang. So good job. Go get yourself a bag. You made a delicious dinner last night. Salmon, asparagus, and rice pilaf.
Yeah. It was delicious. I'm looking forward to leftovers for lunch. Emery was not a fan and she refused to even come out of her room to eat dinner.
And when she asked what was for dinner and you told her, she went, I'm not eating that. That is correct. Yeah. And then she said... I mean, I didn't even finish saying rice pilaf before she said, I'm not eating that. Which, yeah, all right. Fine. You're 16.
Right. Make your own dinner. While you were cooking it, I just kept trying to convince her that it was going to be delicious. It was working. I don't think it was. No, it wasn't.
Because that was your strategy, was to stand there and make those noises. This rice pilaf smells so good. Yeah. Mmm. Mmm.
Yeah. Her door was shut. She couldn't even hear you. You were just making noise for no reason.
Mmm. I'm going to tell you though, it was real good. It was really good. I was very, very happy with it. She came out and she said, well, I'll have a little asparagus because she likes asparagus.
Right. So you gave her some asparagus and some rice. I wanted her to try the rice because the rice was so good. I know it was. I could, I told her it was good. Rice pilaf is one of my favorite rices.
Is it? Mmm-hmm. I'd have to say rice pudding is one of my favorite rices.
Mmm. It's one of my least favorite puddings. It's not a pudding at all. I don't even know why they call it pudding.
I don't know because you're putting it in your mouth. Yum, yum, yum. But, but if you had like, scow camp chocolate pudding out of the big can. Oh, I know that that's one of your favorite desserts. Oh man. It's, it's just pudding, buddy. Dude, it comes out of a giant can.
Yeah. It's so good. That's kind of what makes it gross.
No, that's kind of what makes it amazing. It's a giant can of pudding and you can just get a big old heap and spoonful. Boom.
It's so good. How much scow camp chocolate pudding could you eat? At once? Yeah. Not a whole can. Would hope not. No, but a half a can?
I'd hope not. I can't make any pr- It's liquid-ish. Gross, gross. My point is it- You're not selling it at all.
Chocolate pudding? It doesn't need to be sold. It sells itself. It's so good. Mmm. This chocolate pudding is so good.
That's what I kept trying to tell her. I said, mmm, look at this rice pilaf. It looks delicious. I don't think she liked the name rice pilaf. I think if it had a different name, she would have been like, oh, I might try that. But I think she heard rice pilaf and went, no. You put some on her plate and she just kind of moved it around. I don't even think she tried any. She just pushed it around on her plate. So it looked like she took a bite? Yeah.
Yeah, it checks out. Stop her little thing. I know. Here's the thing.
I always wanted like- A strong independent headstrong. Yeah. Yeah, I know. I'm just like, I'm going to raise a girl that like stands up for herself.
Yeah. But just not this way. I don't want her to stand up to me. Right. Just do what I tell you to. Right, eat your dinner. Yeah.
Yeah. She ended up having, you know what she ended up having for dinner? Cinnamon toast crunch. She had a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch. She had a hard boiled egg and she had a thing of string cheese. That was her dinner. At least she got some protein in there. But she did eat the asparagus. So she got some vegetable.
That's true. She had a little protein and then washed it down with dairy and sugar. I mean, we supplied some Omega-3s.
I did. And we told her about those Omega-3s and she didn't want to hear it. She didn't think she needed them. She said, there's fatty acids in there. Good for you. You're going to have to take a fish oil pill now.
And the Flintstones multi. I mean, get some nutrition in there. Anyway. Thanks for cooking though. It was good.
You're welcome. And that rice pilaf, your favorite rice. One of my top rices. What are their top rices? Do you like? Oh, sticky rice.
I'm glad you asked. Sticky rice. It goes with Thai food. Sticky rice.
Very good. I like jasmine rice. I like basmati. You like jasmine. I like fried rice. Jasmine.
Yeah. What other rices? I'm not a big fan of brown rice.
Probably bottom of the list. Why? It's not good. It is good. I think it's delicious.
Fine. It's probably a better rice. Like healthy rice. But.
What about wild rice? Whoa. Slow down. That's good in a soup. With chicken and wild rice. What about long grain rice? Isn't that just regular rice?
No, it's long. You know what else is kind of an interesting rice? Minut rice. Improperly named because it takes five minutes to cook. So.
That's what I have to say about rice. Okay. Thanks.
Thanks, Darren. Now we know all about rice. Let me get you caught up really quick on the Artemis II mission. I've been trying to keep some tabs on it. So the first launch window is coming up in roughly a week. And so if it all goes well, then they will be good to launch. But this one is just going.
Around the moon. They're not stopping. That's right. They're going to orbit the moon. But this, by the way, is the first time humans have ever even been close to the moon since 1972. So this is, this is a big deal. That's what, that's kind of why it's a big deal. It's just weird that it's taken this long, right?
It is, it is interesting that we decided to just stop exploring the moon. Maybe we found out all the information we needed to when we were there the first time. I don't know. But now we're going back because there's more information to gather, I guess. I don't know. See what's changed in 50-some odd years.
But here's the deal. The four astronauts of the Artemis II mission have officially entered quarantine at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. This marks one of the final steps before this 10-day trip around the moon.
This health stabilization quarantine makes sure that the crew stays germ-free and focused as they work toward a potential launch window as early as, you know, a little over a week here. They won't be landing on the surface of the moon just yet, but this is a major step toward a new moon landing. That's kind of the big deal. It's exciting. And they're working on what they're calling a wet dress rehearsal, which is where the spacecraft is fully fueled as they prepare to run through test scenarios of the launches and all of the operations to get everything ready to go. So they're getting super hyped up. Like, the first window is coming up really, really soon.
The earliest possible lift off would be February 6th. What, how many people are going up in this? Four astronauts, yep. On a 10-day mission. Men, women?
One woman, three men on this crew. Okay. Cool. Yep. I'm excited. Yeah, it's really, really neat. So we'll keep you posted, of course, because I keep looking at it. But the target date as of right now is February 6th, but it could be the 7th or the 8th, or it could be the 10th or the 11th. Depending on everything.
Just so many things, yep. Goes correctly. And if it doesn't happen by February 11th, they'll move into March and try again. If it doesn't work in March, they'll move into April and try again. Are they going to broadcast the lift off and all that?
Oh, yes. There are many places where you can watch and see how this is all going to go down. Because I want to watch it. Yeah, I think it's going to be really, really neat.
So anyway, Artemis II, the crew is in quarantine, which is big news. Jermy Frizzo. That's right. I don't know what spurred the conversation, but yesterday I got into a conversation with some co-workers about who you would want to fight in office. In the office? Yeah, yeah.
So you looked around and went, I think I could take you. Is that the idea? Here's the thing. We started talking about fights we had as kids.
That's what spurred the conversation. And I got in a fight in the sixth grade with my friend whose name was also Chantel. And we got in a fight at the bus stop, like a physical fight.
Yeah. I lost in a big way. But I, you better believe I talked a big game before. Did you get like punched in the head? Yeah. That's terrible.
I know. Don't do that. Don't get in fights.
No kidding. So then we started talking about like, if you got into a fight now, what would you do? And I said, I do my best to avoid any kind of confrontation. That's true.
That is your style. I think I could take Victor. Okay. So then it became, yeah, like who in the office could you take?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure. I picked the 70 year old woman. Wow. You think you could beat up a 70 year old woman? I think I could take her.
Wow. I looked around at everybody else and I went, no, I, she's going to be a little bit scrappy. She works out.
So she's going to be feisty. Okay. No way, man. The only person I could probably take would be the 70 year old woman I work with. All right.
I'm just thinking about who's here. I think I could, I think I could take Victor. Okay. Could you take six foot, seven foot Tom? No way.
No way. I don't think I could take peaches. He's too big. I don't think I could take Katie. She's a farmless.
She's, she's like has cattle. Yeah. I'm not going to mess with that.
She's going to be fierce, man. I could probably take Justin only because he's, he's got age on his, uh, to a disadvantage. That's what I did. But that's the only reason. He's, he bowls.
He's got a swing, but they would be a challenge. When everybody started picking who they were going to fight, I said, you can pick me. I'm not going to be offended. I know I'm an easy target because honestly I'm, I'm weak and I don't want to fight you.
Yeah. I'll probably just like lay down on the floor and be like, just do it. Just throw a punch because I don't, I'm too lazy to fight back. And then it became, the question became, who would you want as your fighting companion?
Oh, interesting. Who would you pick as your fighting companion? Of the people I already mentioned.
Of the people that you work with. I'm taking the rancher. Oh, you're picking Katie. She's a sleeper. I'm picking Katie.
She's a sleeper. You're not going to pick me as your fighting companion. You just said I'm going to lay down and let you punch me. No, you're not instilling a lot of confidence there, buddy. nd if somebody was just attacking me, I'd be like, all right, you win. But if it was you and me and we actually had some fight on the line, I would probably do my best.
When's the last time you had to ride a horse to catch a cow? Not. Right. What does that have to do with fighting?
Fighting. You have, there's some, some big time control and attitude. I have attitude. Dude. You and me are going to fight.
No. We're not. Yeah, we are. No, we're not. And you're going to lose. Fight over.
No, we're not. So you're picking Katie as your fighting companion. I think she's, I think.
Just because she's a rancher? Yeah. Wrong choice, bro.
No, as I look around, I'm not picking Jade, who's a skeleton of a human. He has a bad back too. Right. He's going to be no help. You're right.
He's going to be out before the fight begins. And I'm keeping it just to, just to on air DJ people. Okay. Right. In this department. Okay.
I don't want to like talk about all the sales and all the other, like there's a ton of support people here that help us make things happen. I'm trying to figure out if any of them would be a good go to and I'm not a Kobe. Kobe's good. He could, he could be a force to reckon with.
I think Logan's got a bad back too, but he played football. So there's some. You're still talking about your fighting companion. Not people you're going to fight. Yeah, no. You think that you could take Victor though? Yeah.
Absolutely. The rock guy on David? He's an indoor cat.
Yes. His personality is that of an indoor cat. Yeah, I could take him. Initially, I thought I could take like, we have a very young woman who works in our office. She's sweet.
She's lovely. Yeah. And I was like, yeah, maybe. That's who I thought you were going to say you could take. Then you pulled out the 70 year old woman and I feel bad for her. I would feel so bad fighting the young woman because she's just nice. And I'd be like, I'm sorry.
I have to hit you. It's business. It's not friendship. This isn't about relationships. This is business. This is fighting business. So yeah. I like all these people. Right.
I don't want to fight any of them. Exactly. I just know I could definitely take him. Absolutely.
Victor? Absolutely. Okay. I'm going to go ask him. I know we're going to go. We're going to ask everybody.
Yeah. Because I don't think he understands how much of a target he is right now. He's an indoor cat, which is the best way to describe that man. I think who would I fight here? Yeah. I think I'm going to fight. I'm going to fight peaches. Why?
Because he's David and Goliath over here. Yeah. Sweep the leg. Get him down.
Sweep the leg. That's an old tactic. Maybe you have heard of it.
No, I have heard of it. Thank you very much, karate kid. Kick him in the shin. He's down. And then an uppercut.
Oh, I've got a good strategy already. It's a kick in the shin followed by an uppercut. Have you ever thrown an uppercut in your life? Oh, yeah. All the time. When? I do stuff you don't know about. You're right. It's a fact. Interesting question.
Listen, this is the challenge for everybody today is to look around your office and go. And who? Yeah, I could take that person. Yeah, figure out who you could take.
Yeah. And then who would be your fighting companion in a tag team match? Here's hoping your fighting companion is not also the person you think you could take. It shouldn't be.
You're not going to have a tag team with a 70-year-old woman at your work. I don't know. She is a little bit. Don't count her out.
I'm not counting her out. But you did when you said you thought you could take her. You're not going to then go, but she's also my fighting companion. No, I'm not going to pick her as my fighting companion. You're right. Sorry. I like her.
I really like her as a person. It just has, it is what it is. That's what they say. It is what it is. Hey, if we ever broke up.
Oh boy. This is a loaded question already. Here we go. Who would get the dog?
You could go. I knew it. I knew I'd get that reaction.
That's why I said it. Who would the dog want to be with? Is a different question than who would get the dog?
Here's what would happen. Yeah. The dog would want to go with me. Right. But I wouldn't want the dog.
I understand. And the dog would be fine. But boy would the dog be excited when you came over for visitation. And I would actually feel bad about not getting the dog because I would feel bad for her having to go with you.
With me? Why bad with me? Because you don't take care of her the way that I take care of her.
And so then I would be like, I'll take the dog just because I would feel so bad. When you say I don't take care of her the way you do, do you mean like the treats and the peanut butter and the... Yeah. I mean, because I feed in water.
Yeah, you take care of things and necessities. But I do that more. I hang out with her. Yeah, but you're hanging out is not my hanging out.
And sometimes you get a little alpha with her. Well, yeah. It's important. Especially when you're like training and she needs to like not bark at the mailman and we're working on that. And every day she goes ballistic at the window in the mailman. And I go, hey, quit barking. I tell her to go to her bed and she goes to her bed and then she goes the whole time she's there.
She yells at you a lot. Right. So, you know, that's a balance. But we're working through it. It's all good. You know. Would you want to take the dog? Of course. Okay. Because the dog is one that you wanted. Right.
You wanted the dog. Right. Okay. I'm not going to stick you with the dog that you don't like, but that follows you around everywhere you go. I like the dog. I do. The dog loves you. So. Protects you, loves you, follows you around is your little shadow.
A dog loves you. I know. I know. I know. Because here's what happens. And this is when our other dog died.
Right. And I said, I can't do that again. I can't go through that again.
It was too sad to say goodbye to a dog. I said, I cannot. I can't do my heart.
Can't take that again. I know. And you said, I really want this Jack Russell. And I said, all right, fine. But just be clear that this is your dog, not my dog.
That's right. And I'm not going to grow any attachment to that dog. And you haven't. I've really tried not to. I mean, I take her to get her hair, hair's cut, you know, like, like, I take her to the groomers. Like there's stuff that has to happen.
With the dog. But. You know, I think it's a fair balance. I think there's. I let her out when I get home.
We, we deal with the food at the schedule. Like she's, she's got a pretty plush life. She really got toys. She's got clothes. She's got my stuff. She's got more blankets than I think I do. She's, she's good to go. She's fine.
Yeah. I just, I saw this question and I initially was like, oh, Josh is getting a dog if we break up for sure. Cause it was the dog he wanted. But if it was up to the dog, I don't think the dog would want to be.
But then. Because she just loves you so much. I know. And I guess what I grew attached to her too. Oh no.
And this is what I said. I didn't want to happen. Well, don't let it happen.
Back off of it. How you can't. No, you can't.
No. Here's the best thing. The best thing is in the morning when we wake up and she knows we're awake and she quietly sits outside our door. She's like, Hey. Good morning.
She's right there waiting for you first thing in the morning. I have to go to the bathroom. Do you need to go to the bathroom? Would someone let me out?
When did she become a little British lady? I need to go to the bathroom. Just in the morning. Do you need to go to the bathroom? Yeah.
No, because then you let her in and she's like, now we play ball. And now I'm a crazy person. I'm awake. That's correct.
Yep. This morning she wasn't sitting outside the bedroom door. And so then I went, interesting. And I went and I packed my lunch and I still didn't see her. And I turned on the light and I turned off the alarm and she still didn't come out of her bed. And I said, Hey, what's going on? And she was just kind of laying in her bed like, Hey. Slow morning. And then she got up and stretched and she was like, All right. Time to go outside.
Yeah. She was just having a lazy morning. Good for the dog. I know. So I, it would be a fight.
I would fight you for the dog. Oh, really? Yeah. Wow.
I know what. I didn't want this. Well, the good news is you don't have to fight for the dog. The dog will follow you everywhere regardless. And that's the way it goes.
Congratulations on your new dog. No. If you could, okay, hold on. If somebody asked you, Hey, Hey, what's something that Chantel wants that she's embarrassed to say that she wants? What would you say?
How would you answer that? Oh, is this like, uh, is this your metal detecting hobby? Is this, cause I know I've brought it up before and you said, Don't tell people I want a metal detector.
But I don't know why you're embarrassed about it. It's a great hobby. It's kind of a nerd hobby. Why is it a nerd hobby? It just feels like it. Okay.
Listen, here's why it's not a nerd hobby. It's outside in nature. Looking for treasure. It's a pirate hobby. If you, if you picture of metal detectors though, like the people who do metal detecting, they all, what strange stereotype do you have about the people who metal detect? They've got, they've got shorts on and they got white legs and they're little old men and they got like white socks that come up.
That's the image I get of metal detectorists. Uh, hold on. Okay. What? I wanted to see if this existed and it does.
What is it? Uh, there's a metal detecting show called detectorists. And I just wanted to see the cast of this show to see if this is who you thought it would be.
The sitcom detectorists is set in the UK and based around the members of the Danebury metal detecting club. Hold on. I think somebody has already told me that I should watch this. Yeah. Uh, this is a couple of years old.
This is from 2022. Okay. Um, but I'm looking at this cast and these guys don't look like what you're talking about.
Okay. So they, I mean, they went with, uh, they went with kind of a different approach. Uh, there's some camo involved. Let me tell you my new thing. Sure.
It's also kind of a little bit nerdy. Um, I want a beach comb. We don't have a beach comb.
I know, I know, I know, I know. Unless you're just going to go to like Rigby Lake and drag it around. I don't know if that's necessarily what they're called. It's like this big, I don't know. It's like a shovel, but you scrape it along the sand and then it catches all the stuff in it and then you collect stuff and I kind of want it. Uh, I think it's, I don't know what it's called. It's like a sand flea rake is what it is.
Yeah, kind of. It's like a beach rake. This one isn't as big. Um, but that's kind of what it is. It's a, it's a beach rake, a sand rake. Yeah.
And, uh, yeah. And then you drag along the sand and then you find treasures in the sand. Now these ones aren't very large. They make bigger ones, but this is how you could go find really nice seashells or you could find some of that like, like, uh, the glass. Like that stuff's really cool. I know.
We just don't have a beach that you can go around, uh, raking. I know it, but that's why I got to get. Yeah. It's a sand comb or a sifting rake.
It's got a couple of different, I bet that's what it is. Cause it is like a sifting. Like he, I've been watching this guy on Tik Tok.
Yeah, I know. And he scoops up a pile of sand and then he sifts it out and it's got holes. And so all of the sand goes back to the earth. That's right.
And then he's left with a pile of treasure. Yeah. It's a beach sand sifting is what it's called. Yeah. Now this guy who's doing it on Tik Tok, I think he's dropping stuff in his bucket beforehand because there's no way he's pulling out like iPhones and watches and stuff.
Like he's pulling that stuff out. Uh, before. Here's, here's what I want to do. I want to do that on the beach. I want to do the sand sifting. Yeah.
And then I want to do the metal detecting on like land. Okay. As opposed to the water. Got it. But then, but then I also want to go into the water because there's treasures you can find in the water too.
That's true. So I want to do all of that. I want to find treasure in all of the places. Yeah. I know you are a treasure hunter at heart. And I think that's a great trait.
But I haven't ever. You might need, you might need the shorts. Everybody I'm looking at's kind of got the shorts. The shorts with high white socks. No, this guy's got high black socks.
This guy doesn't look like he's wearing socks, which is maybe grosser. But you're definitely going to need a hat and the hat is functional because you put on the hat and then you, you're protecting your neck from the sun because you're out in the elements. So having a big hat. No, just a wide brim.
Okay. You just need a sun hat. And you know, you can wear whatever this guy's just wearing normal clothes.
He's got on just some pants and a little t-shirt and a jacket. I'm going to tell you not a lot of women in this hobby. There's one. Now she's a nice looking lady. And here's a, here's a younger woman who's, who's participating. But I'm going to tell you, this is kind of a dude's world.
Knew it. But there, there are metal detecting clubs. Should we see if we have one in Idaho because we, there's no way we don't. I'm sure we should. There is a treasure valley metal detecting club.
Treasure valley is not our valley though. I understand. But you could do meetups. It is a private Facebook group. Oh, but treasure net has a whole bunch of stuff. Oh, wow. What's treasure net?
Go to treasure net.com. It's a forum. Tell me what it is. It's a forum where you can connect with other people who like to hunt for treasure. I don't want to connect with people. You just want to do it by yourself? Yes. All right. Very good.
Okay. I want to do it initially. And then if it's something that I'm like, yeah, I could get into this. Then I'll find other people that enjoy the same hobby. Then I'll find the community.
But I want to do it first to determine if it's something I want to get intense about. Okay. You know what I mean? Yeah, I do. You're going to need to get a kit to start out, you know? I know. So I think maybe a metal detecting kit first because we don't live on a beach. Right.
So I can't get the sand sifter. I don't think it's going to be very expensive to get into. Now, depending on, because if you get in here at like an entry level, it's not super expensive. I can see how this could quickly, like as you upgrade and you're like, man, I got to find treasure deeper in the earth. Or I need, you know, as you learn about it, you're like, I need something that's going to find different metals. You could certainly start bumping up in price on some of this stuff. But I'm going to tell you, not super expensive to get into initially if you just want to get started. Where would I go first?
Just in the backyard? Oh, what do you think you'd find? Gold. You think so? You think there's gold in our backyard that we've just not known about?
I, I, who's to say Josh? Buried pennies. Yeah. Yeah. Who knows? Who knows?
Who's to say? With your headphones walking around. We got a park nearby the house. You could go check the park.
And then you come home and there's just piles, just holes in the backyard from where I've dug up. Great. Great. That's the other part. Like I can't go dig in a park. There's probably rules. There's probably rules.
I can't just go metal detect in a park and then be like, I got to start digging right here. You can't. You can't. Why not? Because I don't own that property.
Yeah, that's a problem. I was going to let you know that you could put together a table with a display on it. And on that table, you could show off your fines. You would, you have what's called a fines table and you can get like a little nice piece of felt.
And then you can lay out all the little things that you find on your fines table. Why would I? To display. Display for who? Anyone who wants to know all the cool things you found on your fines table. Mom, what's for dinner? Don't bother me. I'm metal-stepping. Go away. Dirty dancing too is in the works.
But why? I just saw recently dirty dancing one, as we call it. Dirty dancing one. There's going to be two. Then you're going to have to say dirty dancing one.
And just recently saw that again for the first time in forever. What story is there to tell? I don't know. And didn't they already do like a rebooty thing to like make it more modern? I'm pretty sure.
That sounds familiar. Yeah, they did in 2017. What was it called? It was called dirty dancing. Really?
Oh, and it was a made for TV movie. Interesting. I don't remember that. Okay, well this one, Jennifer Gray is returning. She is the one who played baby. Frances Hausman. And she's also executive directing, executive producing, excuse me. The original came out in 1987.
Can you even believe that? That movie's almost 40 years old. It came out when?
1987. That's crazy. I believe it. It felt like it. So they talked to Jennifer Gray and she said she's excited to come back. And she has always wanted to know what happened to baby where her storyline went.
Obviously Patrick Squazy can't come back because he passed away in 2009. But what are they, I'm curious what they might do. Maybe she's the new. Okay. Kellermans. Maybe she runs Kellermans.
And it's a whole new dance crew. Possibly. Who knows? I bet there's dancing in it. There better be.
There better be. So they did the TV thing, but then they did dirty dancing Havana night. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the one I was thinking about. Yeah, which that one was set in 58. So that one was set earlier than the original, right? When was the original set?
1952? Oh, okay. So it was all. 1962? I don't remember. I don't remember.
This one is in November of 1958. An American teenager moves with her parents and younger sister to Havana. Havana nights. Okay. I haven't seen that one.
Me neither. It came out in 2004. Production on dirty dancing two is set to begin later this year. It is, they're calling it a sequel. So it's not even going to be its own feel. It is a sequel.
And it's interesting. I'm curious to see what kind of storyline they're going to tell. They've done a lot with dirty dancing because in the late 80s, they did a TV series as well, which was a continuation of the movie where Francis falls in love with the camp dancer, Johnny Castle. They just continued the story in 1988 to 1989. So they already did tell a little bit of the story of what happened with baby and Johnny. They were recast. Really? I don't know anything about that. Yeah. Patrick Cassidy played Johnny and Malora Hardin played baby. I don't know those people. Yeah.
No one does. This was in the late 80s. So what I'm saying is there's already, just quick looking, there's been like four or five different iterations of dirty dancing. But none of them have had Jennifer Gray. Okay. That's fair. So. So that's why this one's a big deal. I think so. All right. She did say there's no replacing anyone who's passed.
You can never try to repeat anything that's magic before. Yeah. You've got to go for something different.
Okay. Jennifer Gray still looks great if you haven't seen her. I did. I looked at some pictures of her. She still does look pretty fantastic. Good for her. How about it? There you go.
If you're interested in dirty dancing too, it's set to be released next year. Potentially. At some point. Okay. Keep us posted, would you?
Oh, you bet I will. All right. So late last year, the whole family upgraded their phones, except for me.
Right. And so you all have been rocking the new fancy phone and I have been just on my same phone that I've had for a long time. And that's fine. It's fine. It's okay.
It functions fine. I'm not stressed about it. It's okay. I'm okay.
Everything's going to be just fine. Eventually I'm going to get another phone and it'll probably, by the time I'm eligible to move up to a new phone, it will be the newer version of the phone that we've had. Like we've had these phones in the six, the eight, you're now on the 10. We're a Google Pixel phone user.
And so by the time the 11 comes out, that's probably when I'll be looking at upgrading my phone, which they're saying could be this fall. Okay. Which great. Cool for me. So I was looking at some specs and stuff. It's not, nothing's been officially announced for the new version of the Pixel yet. But I'm excited about it and I'll have a new phone and yee-haw.
Yeah. It's a tool that I use every day. It is a phone. It is what it is.
No big deal. Right? You've seen these folding ones.
Yeah. What do you think about the folding phone? I think they're cool, but I feel like it's going to, it makes me feel like that's not going to hold up for very long. And I feel like that's eventually going to snap. Yeah.
I worry about it as well. And they say they've done a ton of testing to make these things happen. But it sounds like Pixel kind of wants to get into this folding phone space. Samsung's very into the folding phone.
And having a phone that you can have shut and you have a screen on the outside and you open it up and you have basically twice the real estate on your screen inside the phone. Well, they have one coming out that is a tri-fold. It's called the Z-Tri-fold, the Galaxy Z-Tri-fold. It is like a brochure. It has three folds. So you open it up and then you open it up and it's like the size of a large tablet once you unfold this thing three times.
But how thick is it when you fold it up? Not very, actually. They've gotten really, really good with the thickness of the screen not being super, super thick. That QLED or whatever it is, it's completely become very, very, very thin, which is impressive. It says surprisingly thin and I'm looking at a picture of it and it's incredibly thin. Does it surprise you how thin it is? And it is stunningly expansive, they say.
It's actually, I'm impressed. But the way that they've been able to reinforce the part where it folds seems like it might be okay. It has a titanium outside, like they've done a bunch of this stuff. They have this armor flex hinge is what they call it. So that the part that actually hinges has some structure in there.
It's a durable glass ceramic on there and it's really an interesting thing. But there's no way in a million years I'm paying for this thing. How much does it cost? Guess. How much is a pixel these days?
Couldn't tell you. They're roughly $1,000, which is insane that it's $1,000 for a phone. That's absolutely crazy.
Yep. How much does the new iPhone cost? The new iPhone is, I'm looking for like the pro. I want to see like the iPhone 17 pro.
So it starts around 800 and then goes up from there depending on what you add on or how you want to, you know, how big you want your screen. So you're into it again for about a grand. Okay. How much?
The new Samsung? I'll say $1,500. Keep going. No way.
Yeah, way. $2,000. Keep going.
No. $2,900. That's insane.
For a phone. That's crazy. So I'm going to tell you right now, if you're, if you're, if you see anyone pulling out the Galaxy Z tri-fold, just know that their debt's insane because they're paying almost $3,000 for a cell phone.
Bro, that's crazy. Because it's a tri-fold. You got to pay for essentially three phones because it's three-fold. So who wants that?
I don't know. It's, there's got to be, there's somebody in the world that's like, whoa. I'm sure there's lots of people who will buy that. Yeah, I can't believe it.
Three grand. Those people are probably not fiscally responsible. That's what I'm saying.
That's what I'm saying. Not to say that I am fiscally responsible because I am not. Well, I'm going to tell you right now, I'm not spending that much money on a phone. Me neither. I hate that I'm, you know, playing around with $1,000. Me too. Yuck.
That's nuts. For a phone. For a silly little phone.
Yeah. Anyway, good luck if you want to buy that thing. Good luck indeed. You're going to have to start selling some stuff. Like body parts. Donate plasma or something. I don't know. Kidneys.
Yeah. I got the new phone, but I'm down a kidney. It's worth it. Don't drop it. No kidding. Man, I can't even, I can't even imagine three grand for a phone. Dumb.
Dumb. That opens up to be like the size of our laptops. Like, what's the point? What's the point? What's the point? What's the point?
What's the point? Would you rather this or that? Would you rather give up all your streaming services or give up all your social media?
Social media. Why? Do I really need it? I mean, like, you know, I know it's part of the job and there's like stuff I post, but do I really need it? Right. It's just kind of a time suck.
Yeah. And streaming services, like I can sit down and watch a show. Somebody created, there's a story to be told. Like, not that there isn't in small bites on social media, but social media has become such a bleh that it'd be fine to not have that. And I could just stand to have a streaming service here and there that I can watch a show with you or the kids or whatever, and that'd be fine.
That'd be fine. I think social media has taken away our ability to sit and watch a full feature, feature link show. It certainly has made attention spans smaller. Yep. I agree. So, yeah, that's my pick. I'm going to go with that, too.
Yeah. I don't think there's anything that I'm like missing out on. There's viral trends and people would be like, oh, have you seen that thing? And I'd be like, I don't have social media. And they'd go, what? And I'd go, I don't have social media. And they'd go, okay. And then they'd move on because that's, I'm not fun to engage with if I'm not up on the trends. But those trends last a week and then they're onto something next.
If even. Yeah. Some of them are like, oh, that was for a day. That was the thing people were doing for two days and then they moved on.
It's fine. I wouldn't, if it all disappeared, I wouldn't miss it that much. I know. I kind of just want to disappear all of mine anyway.
Yeah. Oh, I saw a guy yesterday who said, you know, right now would be a great time to bring back MySpace to its original glory because having a top eight could really set some people straight right now. You were always in my top eight. Oh, look at that. It was just you and my friend Tom. In your top eight. Yeah.
No, that's not true. You had a full top eight and Tom wasn't part of it. Tom was too.
No. Tom was a part of everybody's top eight. When you first signed up and then how quickly him and his little chair got moved away. Oh, MySpace.
Would you rather this or that? There's a man named Larry. Hey, Larry, what's up? Larry took a bet on social media. He guaranteed on social media that pro golfer Scottie Scheffler would not win a golf tournament in California. He posted, if Scottie Scheffler wins this week, I will only eat Wendy's chili for a month.
So I guess he's eating Wendy's chili for a month. Opening folks, zero chance. Zero chance he's going to win. This guy's eating chili, isn't he? Scottie won.
Yeah. Larry says he'll hold himself to his word. He admitted he was wrong. He congratulated Scottie and he said, the only thing I'm going to be eating until February 25th for breakfast, lunch, and dinner is Wendy's chili.
Well, I hope he likes it. No cheese, no crackers. He doesn't get cheese on it? He is not allowing himself to have cheese or crackers. So he can't enjoy it. He just gets the chili by itself.
Now is it a small chili? I understand he's got to eat it for every meal. So is he just going, like, you can buy it in cans now. You can.
You can buy it in can form at the grocery store. On day two, he posted, breakfast chili is surprisingly underrated. Oh boy.
He did note that he- Day 10, he's not saying that. He regretted that he didn't allow crackers. A lot of people are like, bro, we like include some basic toppings. Yeah, like cheese, onions, crackers. And then he said himself, he goes, well, I've been abusing my digestive tract for 50 years. So keep on eating chili if three meals a day.
Here's the thing. He's going to get more fiber than he's probably had in a long time. Everybody in the world could use more fiber. And that comes from the beans. So he's probably actually at the end of this, it's good protein. Yes, it is. And it's, and it's, he's got fiber in there. It's probably one of the healthier things you could eat at pointy days.
Actually not bad. So there you go. I just wanted to see some of the toppings that people add. You can get onions, cheese, crackers. Yes.
South cream. That's right. And that is the end of the toppings, but you could also add some of your own hot sauce. You could add in green onions or chives. You could add in jalapenos or tortilla chips. Wow. Look at all the chili toppings.
That's right. For a full meal, you could often serve it over a baked potato or fries or with cornbread. You could have chili fries. That's right. So yeah, I would argue that this guy is just torturing himself with going just raw chili. But he certainly could spice it up and add a little bit of toppings. Who's holding him to his word? That's what I mean.
Yeah, nobody. If this guy just was like, hey, I'm back having chili again. That's a pretty good fantasy football punishment. Yes, it is. Like you only get like for a week, you can only eat Wendy's chili or pick any food. I'm actually surprised that Wendy's will let him order chili for breakfast. He might have to order it the day before get the cans.
Gross. I wonder how much you could go in and say, how much chili could I order? You could probably get as much as you want. Can I get your whole pot of chili? Right. And then you just keep it in a crock pot on low for the week.
And then whenever you're hungry, you go grab a ladle. Why are you having a problem with that? I don't know. Chili for breakfast sounds awful. Apparently it's surprisingly good.
It's surprisingly delicious. Yeah. Neat.
Part of a balanced breakfast. Good luck to you, Larry. Yeah. And congratulations, Scotty Shuffler. Yeah. Big win.
