How about that? How about them apples? Rotten apples. How about them rotten apples? Yeah.
Yeah. So you're putting down Mhmm. Rotten Mhmm. Apples. Mhmm.
Well, good morning. It is Josh and Chantel. Happy Tuesday. For a while, you've talked about the fact that you could totally be vegetarian. So on this here vegetarian day Yes.
What is it about meat that you're just not about? It's gross. Does it taste gross? Taste bad. I think it tastes great.
I don't. So I have to cover it with sauce to make it edible. You are very, very into sauce. Did you know that it is about 22% of the entire Earth's population that are vegetarian? How much?
22%. Hey. That's I didn't realize it was that high, but that I I mean, you could assume that there was maybe 10. I I got of a 100 people, there'd be 10 who are vegetarian, but it's 22 out of a 100. Look at us.
Yeah. Well, I'm not a vegetarian all the way just because The rest of the family likes me? Yeah. So I eat it because I'm not making 2 separate meals. This is true.
Well, I what's your I guess if you, what would you do for protein? What what's your Beans. Beans. Yeah. That's your answer?
Yes. Just beans all the things? Well, there's lots of, like you can there's protein shakes and protein bars. You can get your protein in other ways. Do you think they just, put meat in it?
No. No. I don't. Isn't meat easier? Well, yeah.
And that's probably why I still eat it because it's easy. It's the easy way. It's the easy way to get pregnant. Like it. I think it's gross.
I think preparing it makes me like, I made chicken last night, and the whole time I'm cooking it, I'm like, woah. And then I tough it up tough it up. You know? Like, I toughen through it to eat it. I don't like it at all.
Chicken is the worst. Of all the meats? Yes. Worse than beef or steak? Yes.
Steak? Ew. No. I'll never I say never, but I've had steak. No.
I know you've had it, but would you would you cook it? No. No. I wouldn't. Ew.
What about, what about fish? I like I like salmon. And tuna? And In a can? Or in a pouch?
Yeah. I've had that. Yeah? Or what about, like, pod? Thing.
I could be, like, a pescatarian. Yeah. Because I don't mind fish. Fish is not as disgusting as cow or chicken. What about pork?
Ew. Bacon. Sausage. Ew. You know you know when I eat sausage, it has to be little.
If you're making, like, a ground sausage ground sausage. Yeah. It better be small What about what about a brat Ew. And a hot dog? Stop talking about all this.
It's gross. I just wanted to get your take on all the meat here on vegetarian day. It's gross. Well, here, let's talk about some of the good things and bad things. The plant based food market Yeah.
It brings in $9,000,000,000. It's insane. It's a huge amount of money. 87% of vegetarians in the US are women. Okay.
And vegetarians experience 32% less chance of hospitalization due to heart disease. Hey. They also have a lower risk of cancer, and they're, lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Well, there you go. However, however, twice as likely to develop depression and and anxiety than meat eaters.
I wonder why. It's because you miss meat. No. Yeah. You're so sad No.
And anxious about missing out on meat. No. It's not true. No. I don't know why.
Also, vegetarians are more likely to develop allergies. Interesting. Mhmm. And if you had to guess in the world where the most vegetarians are? In the whole wide world.
I'd say New York. In the whole wide world? Wide world? Oh, probably India. That is correct.
And then China and then the United States. But India I wouldn't have guessed it. The most vegetarians. Oh my god. Yeah.
I need to move to India, which I'm not opposed to. Give me all of the curry. Curry all of the things. Okay. Now I'm gonna throw everything out the window for you.
Are you ready? Yes. Today is Tuesday. It is National Taco Day. Yes.
I did know that. And what kind of tacos do you like? Tacos? Yeah. What kind street tacos.
With street tacos. With beans? Okay. If beans was an option, absolutely. I'd Street beans?
Yeah. Because they have carnitas that I like. Pork carnitas. But it has to be cooked because I've had carnitas Yeah. In different places.
And there are places that I don't like it because it's not cooked. It's too big of meat chunks. Too big? Alright. Well I know.
I'm a weirdo. No. It's it's fine. We just need to get to know you a little bit. You're not weird.
It's that's just who you are. It's you you just don't like the meats except when you do. And when you do, you really like them. When I do, it has to be small. Yeah.
Small small. Or a whole burger. You know? From you. Whatever.
It does the point is, I like it when it's all chopped up except when it's a big handful of meat. There's gonna be a point in this story where you say, what? Why? Let's just see what happens. Okay.
So Van of, Shrewsbury, Massachusetts. Shrewsbury? Shrewsbury finished her weekly shopping trip at the grocery store and had a moment of panic. Oh. While running her errands, she had dropped an envelope that contained some money in it.
Oh, no. $12,000 in cash. What? Followed by, why do you have $12,000 in cash in an envelope? Exactly.
Van got home, quickly called her nephew, said, I need help. Her and her nephew drove back to the grocery store in search of the envelope hoping for a miracle. And luckily for Van, a regular shopper named Skip found the cash and handed the envelope over to a store manager. Oh, Skip. What a good guy.
Yeah. Skip's the hero in this store. Is. So the family was very overjoyed and, even went back to the store to give Skip $300 as a reward even though he'd already, you know, clearly left the store. His girlfriend works at the store and accepted the reward on his behalf, which is kinda special.
She's like, oh, yeah. I'll make sure he gets this. Absolutely. The nephew, shared the story on social media and said it takes a special kind of person to do something so honest and selfless. And, Skip, you are a true example of integrity and compassion.
Thank you, Skip. You've touched more lives than you know today. Also, don't carry around $12,000 in an envelope. I'm I'm still trying to sort out why. Why she had it?
Why did she have $12,000 in cash in an envelope? None of our business. Probably something illegal. You think? No.
I don't know. I have no idea. I'm looking at a picture of Skip Yeah. With the store manager here at the at the Shrewsbury Market Basket. Shrewsbury.
And, yeah, Skip's a good dude. Skip's a good Skip Skip looks like a guy who turned in an envelope. Good job, Skip. Yeah. Skip's the man.
So do good things. That's your lesson for today. And it's also And don't carry around $12,000 in cash. And if you do, keep a better, you know A better system. Keep a better look on it.
Drop it. Unbelievable. Anyway, it's good news to get you going. Yesterday, you we were here in the studio. We were talking, and you said, hold on.
Hold on. Hold on. Yeah. And then you got your phone out, and you said, hold on. I gotta get a I gotta get a video of this.
What? Is that attached? Yeah. You had a stray eyebrow hair. It was.
Or so we thought. I or so I thought. I was I was worried because that thing was 2 and a half inches long It was very long. Straight up out of your forehead. It was very long.
So you posted the video. Yeah. I get a text from Emery about, I I don't know, 3 or 4 hours after it's posted. And she said, that close-up was tragic. And I went, what are you talking about?
And she said, LOL, I don't know. And I said, did I look bad? And she said, close ups like that don't do anyone justice. Well That's and that's all she said. The end the end of conversation.
If you wanna feel good about yourself, get yourself a teenage daughter because Yeah. That's where compliments are made. Yes. Yes. So I met scouts last night.
Uh-huh. And, one of the other adult leaders is there, and he said, hey. I saw a video. I think something's wrong. And I said, why?
And he said, because normally, when the videos show up, I can see, like, one of you talking or back and forth or there's, you know, 2 of you. But this one was, like, really zoomed in at only half of Chantel's face. And I said, what? And so he pulls it up, and I said, did you listen to the audio? Like, you gotta turn up the volume.
And he's like, I normally just read the captions on your videos. And so, so he didn't know that we'd been talking about the eyebrow hair. And then I showed him, and he went, woah. That is something else. Tragic?
Did he say I did not say that the close-up was tragic, but he was he he said that is a close-up. I'm glad it wasn't attached. It was not attached. It was not even my hair. It was a dog hair.
I don't know how that dog hair got there. That's the only thing I can think of. Right? It's the only thing I can think of. Have a Jack Russell.
She is white, and that makes the most sense. Right. I don't know why it was there. I'm glad it wasn't attached. I was nervous.
Is not. What if it was attached? What would you do? I would have pulled it. Well, I know that.
I was when you when you went to grab it, I was I was really expecting to see forehead move when you were pulling that thing. I'm glad it wasn't attached. That was a scary moment. It was a tragic close-up. So feeling good about myself.
Feeling It wasn't attached. Feel good. Good. Feel good. Last night, you had scouts.
You typically do the cooking in our house because I don't enjoy cooking. I'm happy to do the dishes. I'm happy to do the cleanup. Right. And I enjoy the cooking and not so much the cleaning.
So it's we make a good team. Last night, you had scouts, and I said, oh, I'll give you a night off. I'll cook dinner. Yeah. And I picked a recipe that I thought was gonna be delicious, and it was.
It was actually very delicious. It was a coconut curry soup. Right. It was good. It took a very long time to cook.
I was in that kitchen for maybe an hour and a half, and I realized that's typical. Like, that's how long it takes to cook sometimes. Sometimes. But that that recipe is only a 30:35 minute long recipe. Yeah.
But it had to 40 times. It had to simmer for 30 minutes. Yeah. And then it has to Like prep time, cook time, total time. So it but I thought it was, like, a 40 minute thing.
No. I started cooking at, like, 7:30. Mhmm. And you got home at 9 Mhmm. Is an hour and a half.
And I went, ugh, this is why I hate cooking. Well, okay. Maybe you just need a little more practice No. On it. No.
It's not that. Okay. Maybe I need This is not me trying to get out of cooking. I know. I know you like it.
I'm I'm just saying that it it probably is a 40 minute recipe, but it took you an hour and a half for some. 45 minutes. Those are never those are never right. The recipe always asks how long. No.
It isn't. Set a timer. You should. Are you cooking tonight? Sure.
K. We'll set a timer and see how long it takes. K. Look at your recipe, see how long it takes to prepare k. And then we'll see Okay.
If that's accurate. Can do. Will do. This is what's gonna happen. You're gonna is you're gonna be under.
You're gonna be under par. K. This is gonna be nonsense. I'm just I am only saying that I've been cooking these, these prepared meals that we've been doing, where all the ingredients are there. Like, everything's ready to go.
Like, all I have to do is follow along with the recipe. Chop the vegetables and But I also, like, non stereotypically multitask through the whole recipe. So do I. I know. That's what I did too.
I didn't say you didn't. No. It feels like you're pointing fingers. Like, maybe you just took longer because I'm just I'm what I'm trying to say is I've had more practice with these recipes than than you have with these recipes. Here's what I do that you do not do.
You clean as you go. Exactly. Yeah. Because I was like, well, let me help you clean at least, and you were like, I've been cleaning as I go. Yeah.
Yeah. I don't do that because, it takes time away from No. It doesn't. From cooking. No.
It doesn't. Yeah. Because while your chicken is cooking, you can put away your dishes. And then you go back and you stir and you put away more dishes in the dishwasher. That's gonna vary per recipe.
Because if I have to make a sauce or if I have to make something else while things are happening, then it's it's just it's going it's gonna go different. It's gonna go I can't 3 things at once. I can do 2. Well Let's keep it let's keep it limited. Look who's better.
Look who took 90 minutes. Look who's better. Well, time me tonight. See if my recipe times out. K.
It should. If I'm doing it right, I should be able to do it on time. Because I start cooking at about 5, because you get home I know. I love 30 ish or whatever. This game where I walk in the door and dinner's already prepared in other way.
I'm like, ho ho. This is what it's like to be a capped woman. Yeah. Right? It's the least I can do.
We're shopping. We're at the grocery store. We're shopping with Emery. Mhmm. And, we're having a great time, and she said something.
I don't even remember what. And then I said something. I don't even remember what. This is the best story I've ever told. Then here's what happened.
Good mood changed to bad mood got fast. What'd you say? I don't even know. And what did she say? I don't even know.
Well And that's the part about living with a teenage teenager, because it happens to boys too. Yeah. And then she was in a bad mood the rest of the night. Rest of the night. Wouldn't talk to me, wouldn't look at me.
What'd you say? She walked, like, 3 steps behind me, the whole store. She wouldn't she was on her phone. And then Yeah. Yeah.
Here's the kicker. I make dinner. She comes out. She sits there. She complains about the food.
Yeah. She doesn't even wanna eat it. No. And then she says, I'm going to my room. I was there for that part.
Fine. Go to your room. That's fine. Then it's time for bed. She comes out.
She eats something, so she didn't go to bed hungry. She goes back to her room after she eats, and then you and I go in to say good night to her. I go in first. She's not talking to me. Yeah.
She's answering me in very clipped one word answers. And I'm standing there waiting for her to get up so that she can hug me. She's not making any moves. We're at a standstill. Right.
And then you come in Right. Start poking the bear. And she's I was like, what are you doing? And I was poking her. Yeah.
And then she starts laughing. I'm like, oh, what in the world is happening here? I don't know. I don't need that. Part of the grocery trip.
No. I don't know what happened there. I wasn't part of the grocery trip right there. Apparently, I because I have no idea what happened. What'd you say?
I don't know. I have no idea. What do you think you might have said? Something that really just Did you tell her wrong way. That did she want, like, a cereal or something, and you said no?
No. Or or a treat? Was she like, I I wanna get a treat, and you were like, no. No. Don't.
Because usually no is all it takes. Yeah. Exactly. And then You tell her no, and then she's like, I don't know what you did. I don't either.
I bet she doesn't remember either. Oh, I bet she does. I bet she probably does. I guarantee she does. But what did you do?
I don't know. You know, I just tell somebody yesterday that because they had a daughter that's 13, and they said, oh, 13, 14. Those are rough years, but we're finally in the clear at 15. Our daughter turned 15. In the clear of what?
We're finally in the clear of, like, emotions. No. Radical emotions. No. No.
No. I jinxed myself. I've I've heard rumor that that does balance out, but it's it's still a couple years away. Yeah. It's rough.
It's rough living with teenagers, guys. What'd you do? I don't know. I don't feel so much like a goof driving around today. Good.
You got a new tire. I did? Good job, buddy. Indeed. Get, got a tire.
So all of them match now. Why did you feel like a goof driving around on your shoulder? See it? Yep. It looked ridiculous.
It's smaller than the other 3. The front of the truck leaned a little bit. Did it? Yeah. It's a smaller tire.
Things are okay. Alright. So then what happened to the spare? Did it go back under the truck? Yeah.
They put it back under there? Yeah. That's pretty And, hopefully, it just lives there for the rest of its life and never have to see it again. Don't run over any fire pit. Hey.
Easy. Easy. Be okay. Easy. It's a terribly placed fire pit.
Can we talk about that? Yeah. Can we talk about the fact that those fire pit those fire pits, 1, they're too big. Yes. And 2, they're placed in an awkward position.
And unsafe. And an unsafe position far too near to the road where I should be driving unobstructed by campfire pits. Also, there was one jaggedy piece. That is very dangerous. Right.
Thank you. I coulda snagged a sock. Yeah. But I didn't. I snagged the whole time.
I'm glad you didn't snag a sock because the way that that thing ripped through your sidewall Yeah. It probably woulda ripped through my foot. It woulda ripped through your skin Yeah. Wall. Anyway.
Your skin wall. I'm my what? I'm pretty pretty happy that I have, matching tires now. It it's a lot better. Did you skip out of the joint yesterday?
Yeah. That's what I do after I get a tire. I skip out of the joint and go, what a thing. What a day. Golly gee.
Look at me. You did a hit click. You're like, oh, my tires, Matt. Yeah. Woo.
Let's go driving. Hip hip hooray. What a strange thing to think I might do. Skip out of a place. Can't wait to go drive on my brand new tire.
More people should be skipping out of places. I might skip out of work today. Now that's a different kind of skip. It is. Yeah.
Head it off. Yeah. Skipping out of work. Later. Whoop a doo.
Congrats on your tire, bud. Thanks. I really needed the acknowledgments. Good morning. Good morning.
Today is, CD player day. We talked about that earlier this morning. Yes. And, apparently, cars are getting rid of them. They're just not putting CD players in cars anymore.
And as a matter of fact, the last model of car to include a CD player, which, the Subaru Forester SUV Uh-huh. No longer featuring CD player in the dashboard. Oh, no. And so there is only one new vehicle that you can buy with the CD player. That's the Isuzu D Max, which is a truck.
And it comes with the CD player. Isuzu made trucks? Sure. Oh, yeah. They've been making trucks for a long time.
They made a little pickup truck for a long time. But that is the final remaining I knew that. Truck that, that you could player? Okay. But what about all these kids that are bringing CDs back?
They're gonna have to do it old school. We're gonna have to either go aux cable No. Or, Or that tape thing. Well, there's no tape. Player.
Yeah. So you're gonna have to go aux cable. Isn't that Or crazy. You know, put in a different head unit so that you can listen to CD players, I guess. When you say head unit, does that mean, like, the Internet base?
That's a radio in your car. Quit talking electronic. It's Speak. Did you not hear back the other day? He goes, I think I wanna get a new head unit.
I was like, yeah. That's right. That's right. No. I did not hear that.
Yeah. So because his doesn't have a CD player. But I remember when they started to put CD players in cars, and we were like, this is the jam. Yeah. Because all I had was a tape deck.
Yep. And, and I had a special tray in my in my truck, with Velcro on it so I could put my CD player on the little tray. Yes. And it had little rubber, shock absorbers in the tray so that it would help anti skip. Hey.
Yeah. You are so fancy. I know. I know. Gotta be driving around listening to your Blink 182 records without skips.
Do you have a CD play in your current truck? Yes. What year is it? 19. Mine is a 2003.
So, of course, I have 1. It's a 13. 13. 2013. Right.
It's not an o three. No. How sad? And you do. You have one.
I do. Yes. I never use it. I just Well, there you go. Change your CD player in mind.
Yeah. What? I could know. I had no idea. I don't use it because you know why?
I only listen to the radio. Good answer. Good answer. Good answer. Survey says The radio.
Only listen to the radio. There was a dad from South Carolina named David. Uh-huh. He needed to get to his daughter's wedding in Tennessee. As you know, in South Carolina, there's been some problems.
Hurricane? Uh-huh. And so he it's supposed to be a 2 hour drive from South Carolina to Tennessee where his daughter was getting married. The roads were blocked by flooding from hurricane Helene. He told first responders he needed to be there at 11 AM to walk her down the aisle.
They said, no can do, bud. You're not gonna get there. I'm terribly sorry. This is an very unfortunate instance, but that's not gonna happen. He ignored them.
Okay. And walked the 30 miles way. From Tennessee. Nope. From South Carolina to Tennessee.
It took him 5 and a half hours to get there. He had to climb over debris. He got stuck in knee deep mud at one point. He made it about 20 miles before someone picked him up and drove him the rest of the way. That's incredible.
He didn't tell his daughter what had happened until the reception. So he showed up. He's like, everything's fine. Let's get to work. Let's do this.
What do we need to do? And then at the reception, he's like, oh, by the way What a champ. Holy cow. Talk about love. Yeah.
That's pretty incredible. Yeah. That's wild. Good for him. Congratulations to her.
That's a big deal. And, yeah, I I mean, I've I've done some hiking. I've done 50 miles in a week. Uh-huh. Not 30 in a day.
He did 20. Okay. Still 20 in a day over debris and everything else. It it's a lot. In mud and debris and flooding and probably wind.
Sure. Yeah. It's pretty incredible. His So did he have his his suit with him or his tux or whatever as well? Like, I mean, he had to have gear.
He had to carry stuff. Yeah. He, I don't know what he carried. Let's see. I don't know if that information is gonna be in there.
He he was able to free himself. He got stuck in mud. Right? Right. And so he was able to free himself in time with out one shoe, and he had to retrieve it after he got unstuck and then continued on his way.
K. That all makes sense. That all checks out for washing in the mud. He made it to her wedding on time. I'm I'm impressed.
I am impressed, and I'm I'm glad somebody picked him up and took him the last 10 miles. That probably was a relief. Yeah. I'm sure he's like, oh, thank you. I'm sure he was exactly like, oh, thank you.
But he was I bet he was a little more grateful than, oh, thank you. Thanks, bud. Thanks. I mean, I could walk it, but, well, that's real nice of you. That's funny.
Well, I'm glad he made it. What a good what a good story. Thanks for sharing. You're welcome. There's a man named David who lives in Boise.
I know about this guy. Do you know about this thing? World record guy. He is. Alright.
He is a serial record breaker. A serial world record breaker? Yeah. Is that right? Yes.
Did he break a world record that has to do with serial? No. Or you're just saying he's broken so many records that he's like a serial world. Yeah. Okay.
Alright. I But I bet he has done something with serial I guarantee. Cold serial. How many records does he have now? You know?
The answer to that. What I do know What's his last name? Rush. That's right. He just completed a let's see.
How long did he walk? Okay. The record to beat was 234 feet and 7 inches, and this was set in 2017. For what? I'll tell you.
Just settle down. He has over 300 world records, by the way. How many? Over 300. What?
Yeah. Okay. Go on. Okay. He took a running lawnmower, balanced it on his chin Yeah.
And walked 1,178 feet to break the world record. So he didn't only break the world record. He crushed it. The record was 234 feet. He walked 1,178.
Balancing a running lawnmower on his face. Correct. Correct. Now did I tell you he lives in Boise? He's not in Boise.
Okay. He said that he struggled with winds Well, yeah. But he kept going. Oh, no. Sorry.
He struggled with winds, and he would have kept going, but the breeze finally pushed the mower off of his face. Insane. An assistant walked alongside him and quickly cut the power to the mower as it fell. What a dangerous feat. Yeah.
I just want one. He has over 300. How much do you think a lawnmower weighs? Well, I don't know what lawnmower he was using because an electric lawnmower versus a gas lawnmower are gonna weigh differently. And I'm imagining he probably used, an electric lawnmower.
Yeah. It's an electric. Yeah. Which is gonna weigh less. How mower, chin balance, the road.
Right? Field. That is a 100 yards. Okay. When somebody tells me we've had this conversation How many feet are in yards?
No. I need to visualize what 1,170 feet like, 10 football fields and then some. Okay. And then some. David.
Yeah. Woah, buddy. Yeah. He walked a long way. So I'm looking at the video of it.
Chin. Yeah. He's balanced the lawnmower before, so he practiced that whole thing. I'm trying to find that's just the chin balance. I'm trying to find the actual one where he where he just did I'm trying to figure out where this is.
I'm looking at his YouTube channel right now, and he's he's record breaker Rush. Did they take the blade off of the slot more, or did they leave the blade on? It's what I wanna know. Know the answer to that. Like this is a very unsafe thing.
They should have probably taken the blade off. He has not posted on his YouTube channel in over a month, and he, doesn't have the video of this new record. So I cannot see it. I don't know if it even happened. Why doesn't he have the video?
Mhmm. Because I'm watching video of it right now where he's just walking and trying to balance and walk. I see. Do you how many tries do you get to practice, and then you're like, okay. This is it.
This is my record Attempt. Attempt. Yeah. I don't know. Go.
I I don't know. I haven't I haven't really researched that much into how to get a world record. I just want You haven't? You want one so bad. I know.
You haven't done the research into what it takes? It's sad. I should not done your homework. No. That's That's why I don't have world record.
Break this world record? No. I do not. You don't wanna balance a lawnmower on your chin? No.
I do not. What about a weed eater? No. I do not. What else could you balance on your chin?
I do I have to do that? What else are you gonna do? Not I'm not gonna balance anything on my face. This is my moneymaker. Oh.
It's not. It's not. I know you like this stuff. That's sarcasm. You don't care for this stuff, but I What is it?
What? Think this stuff is interesting. These are bizarre, like, movie facts. Bizarre facts. Bizarre facts.
Random facts. Random facts. I think it's interesting. Okay. I know you don't care about it, but here we go.
I have the microphone, so here we go. Did you know Chris Farley was originally cast as Shrek? I think I was 85% complete with his lines Right. Before he passed away. Yeah.
And then they had to get Mike Myers to come in and enjoy it. And he wanted to rewrite because he said, I'm not doing the Chris Farley version of this. I'm gonna do my own version. So they had to reuse rewrote Wow. To fit Mike Myers.
That's a lot of extra work, and I understand they're in a situation where, you know, the guy who's doing the project. Imagine if he completed the first one before. Like, somewhere exists Yeah. All of that audio. That voice work.
And I'm really curious. I would love to hear some of that. Wouldn't that be interesting? I think that's very interesting. How do you get your hands on that?
I have no clue because that's Or they just destroyed it. No. No way. That exists somewhere in an archive on a hard drive somewhere. That's very interesting.
That is interesting. Megan Mullally. You know her? Sure. She was from Will and Grace?
Yep. She was hired to voice a character in Finding Nemo, but they wanted her to use her voice from Will and Grace, and she said no. Squeaky high pitched one? Yeah. She said, no.
I'm not gonna do that. I'm gonna get a different voice. And I said, well, you're fired. So you can't do that. Michelle Pfeiffer was literally vacuum sealed into her Catwoman costume.
Really? Batman Returns. Literally vacuum sealed. Wow. Good boy.
That's uncomfortable. No kidding. Wouldn't you feel so claustrophobic? Yes. I can't breathe.
Absolutely. I feel vacuum sealed into my clothes on the daily. Too much ice cream over the sun. Is so breathable. My jeans are Uh-huh.
Tight. Vacuum sealed. Sealed. Yeah. Ice cream vacuum sealed into this.
Mhmm. No guy. No control top here. Just muffin top. You get it?

Candyman? I haven't Candyman? I don't know. I'm on sale. Like, 3 times.
Oh, like Beetlejuice? I think. How original. Go ahead. He had to have real bees in his mouth.
He wore a mouth guard, but he still got stung 27 times in his mouth. Yeah. No. Thanks. Did he get paid, like, $1,000,000 per sting?
I hope he got paid for that. The picture of Buzz's girlfriend in home alone? Woah. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Your girlfriend. It was actually a crew member's son in a wig. Yeah. She was supposed to be funny looking.
They wanted her to be, like, woof. That was a woof. That it would be cruel to actually use a real girl, so they said, let's get use a boy. Let's get a boy, put him in a wig. That's great.
Woof. Woof. And last one, Leonardo DiCaprio was going to play Max in Hocus Pocus, the boy, the teenage boy. Sure. Yeah.
But he backed out because he was up for a couple of different parts in different movies. So instead, they got that brunette guy with the with the pretty hair. Yeah. Uh-huh. I don't even know his name.
I don't think he did anything else. Guy with the pretty hair. What's that guy's name? I don't know. Look up the cast list.
Hocus Pocus cast. Pretty guy. Guy. Omry Katz is his name. What else has he done?
Whale. Whale? He's probably best known for appearing in Hocus Pocus as Max. He was also on the TV show Dallas. He was also on the show Erie, Indiana.
He is did you ever watch Erie, Indiana? I did not. That was a cool show in the nineties. I did not. He was in the movie matinee, and he was in the movie adventure Adventures in Dinosaur City.
No. With Omry, he didn't do much, but after, hey. He's kinda cute now. Alrighty. Glad we looked that up.
There you go. There's a 6 year old boy in Rhode Island. His name is Luca. Luca? Luca.
K. He wanted to make enough money to buy himself a kitten. A kitten? Yep. He wants what you said?
Yep. A kitten. A kitten. He wants a kitten. K.
He, asked his mom. His mom said, yeah. I mean, we have a dog, and we have a cat. If you wanna if you wanna pet, then you're gonna have to work for it. And so he said, alright.
I can do this. And he started a poop scooping business. No kidding. Yep. He's cleaning up backyards Yep.
To save money to buy a kitten. Not only that, he, like, goes to help at local animal shelters, and he starts folding some of the laundry. He'll sweep and mop the floors. Let's go. He just really wants a kitten really bad, and he started this poop scooping business.
Mhmm. And he he came up with this poop scooping idea. His poop scooping idea is called Poopascoopaluca. Alright. Poopy scoop a Luca.
Poopy scoop a loop Luca. And I don't know if he raised enough money To get his kids. He's going to adopt it from the animal shelter where he also volunteers at, but they're not free. They come Sure. With some expense.
Yeah. And then you have ongoing expense of food and vet bills and so forth. So yeah. So oh, he did. He did raise enough money to adopt the kitten that he wants, and he has named this kitten Pebble.
Pebble, singular. Pebble. Just one Pebble. Okay. So Pebble?
But he just because he bought this cat, he says that he is not stopping his poop scooping business anytime soon. Why would you? He's got food and vet bills now. He's he's got he's got responsibility. You gotta think.
You got a cat? You've got responsibilities. That's right. You you gotta make sure you take care of that cat. You can't just, you know, have it and then not take care of it.
You gotta get out there. You gotta you gotta raise some money. Take care of that cat. So That's what you gotta do. Poopa, scooper, loop Luca.
It's hard to say. It is. Poopa, scooper, Luca. It's a good idea. So well done, Luca.
Hey. Listen to this. Hey. I'm listening. Alright.
The Parker solo probe, which was launched by NASA back in 2018, it was it's a probe sent out to study the sun. Okay. It is on a mission to break its own speed record right now after its 6 year journey and a bunch of different gravity assists by orbiting things and getting thrown and different things like that, engineers have calculated that it is set to reach a top speed. It could go faster than this. Okay.
But go ahead. No. How fast do you think this thing can travel to space? Interesting is that this is set out to study the sun, and it's like, no. Side mission.
Yeah. It does have a side quest. Let's see how fast we can go. How fast do you think this thing can go through the vacuum of space? 65 tops.
65 what? Miles per hour. Miles per hour. So how what's the fastest you've ever traveled? Probably in a plane.
Okay. I don't know how fast a plane goes. If you had to guess. I don't know. I'm not gonna guess.
How fast does a plane go? Average speed of a passenger plane, we didn't ride on anything that big. No. But you're you're Okay. So about 600 miles per hour?
We didn't go on anything that big. But but that's fine. It's okay. Okay. We'll we'll say that that's that's pretty quick.
600? That's really fast. Yes. Right? You'd say that's in a car, you've probably never hit a 100.
Yes. I have. You dangerous. The Parker Solo probe is set to reach a speed of 119 miles per second. What?
Per second. How does it go that fast? Gravity assists from the planet Venus that it orbited and shot away from. Really? Yeah.
That's so dangerous. It's crazy fast. How is it being controlled? Who's controlling this? NASA.
1 100 some research intelligence. 19 miles per second. How much is that per hour? Well, there's some simple equations that we can put that through. But just really quickly, that is 428,400 miles per hour.
Wow. Wow. And it beat its own record? No. It's about to go that fast.
Then what is it studying on the sun? Don't know because it's like, how fast can we go? It's got a long ways to go before it gets there. It hasn't even reached the sun yet is what you're saying? Past Venus.
It still has to get past Mercury and then to the sun. It's got a long ways to go. We got some work to do. Why it has to go 119 miles per second. Gotta go faster.
It it's yeah. It's gotta be cooking. Heat and speed. That thing is cruising. Anyway, that's fast.
That's all. I just had to, for a moment, talk about how fast that is. Is it Jimmy John's fast? Maybe. Hey.
Did you know today is kind of a big deal? Today is? Well, it's October 1st, and it's Taco Tuesday. And it's what else? Hold on.
Jimmy Carter's birthday is what it is. No. You weren't on. There was. What else is there?

Jimmy Carter's birthday. Jimmy Carter. Yep. Happy birthday. Former president Jimmy Carter sets a new record today.
100 years old. Condo? He's the first American president to reach triple digits. Put him on the $100 bill. Now there's an idea.
Right? Instead of Franklin, who's not a president, that's an idea. Redo the $100 bill for Jimmy Carter. I'd lie to where they're kicking. Instead of Benny's, they'd call it Jimmy's?
Jimmy's. Carters? Exactly right. Yeah. Jimmy's.
I like it. It's it's kinda cool. I don't know if you know what he's been up to since he retired after being president. What do you think he's been up to? What do you been up to, Jimmy Carter?
What do you think the majority of presidents post presidential term, spend their time doing? Just hanging out in their slippers. That's what they do. Yeah. They're like, I did my time.
Most of them will, take positions on a bunch of different boards, and they will, do speaking gigs and make money that way, write books, so on and so forth. Not Jimmy Carter. Not Jimmy Carter. What has Jimmy Carter been doing? Jimmy Carter, got his hands dirty.
He's been building houses. He took on peace missions to Cuba and the Middle East. He negotiated the release of hostages. He lived in his hometown where he grew up. He taught Sunday school and college classes.
He wrote some books. He won some Grammys. He won some Grammys? What did he win Grammys for? Couldn't tell you, but the dude's won Grammys.
I wonder if it's easy to win a Grammy when you've been a former president. Well, you still have to I get it. It's spoken word albums, and he's won 4? Jimmy Carter, Grammy winner. 20, 2007, 2015, 16, and 19 spoken word album Grammy Awards.
Is there any other president who's won a Grammy? I don't know. Let alone 4? I don't know. Jimmy Carter.
It's been 44 years since he left office. It's been 22 years since he won the Nobel Peace Prize. Do you know that Jimmy Carter, I didn't know him as the president. Yeah. I know.
He he left office about 5 months before I was born. Yeah. So I've only known him this 4 years since he left office. Former president That is correct. Jimmy Carter.
And did you hear 22 years since he won the Nobel Peace Prize? No. Yeah. I didn't hear that. He's quite accomplished.
Yeah. He is. Setting a new record as the first former president to reach 100 years old. So congratulations. Diggity dog.
Jimmy Carter. Happy birthday, bud. Happy birthday. It's a big deal. Happy birthday, Jimmy.
Give him the $100 bill. I'm telling you. That's a great way to go. Jimmy, you did it. You're now the face of the $100 bill.
