Full show transcript:
This is wake up classy 97, the podcast, a replay of today's full show. It's Friday, November 8. Today on the show, stuffed animals are not a good substitute for insulation. But what's their actual r value? Because I think it's just cute.
Dust bunnies. Dust bun for real. Don't use the strange loose toothbrush from under the sink. That's the cleaning toothbrush. That's what it's for.
Well, don't just grab it and start brushing. My bad date with a model. Come watch me be fashioned. Two free cookies is a decent work perk. I mean, you know, or health insurance, but what do you what do you want?
We talk about our date night at Fat Cats in Rexburg. It was a great time. It was awesome. There should be an app to help figure out what to eat. The concert of a lifetime winner makes wishes come true.
The beefcake squirrel is bulking up for winter. What do you think he's bulking up on, though? It's Pizza? No. It's it's nuts and seeds.
I don't know about nuts. Seeds. Nuts and seeds. He's too bulky. I'm a little squirrel that likes nuts and seeds.

Finally Friday. Holy moly. I honestly don't think that it was very smart for anybody to put the election Yeah. And daylight savings in the same way. Saving.
Remember? Oh, I forgot. S is silent. Whoever it was in charge of that, that was bad idea. Yeah.
Daylight saving time and election and just all of it on, like, right there at the beginning of a new month. Last week of my life. Bad idea. And cold weather. Yeah.
And that. Hey. But it's, it must be like excess. 50 today. So there's that.
It's just cold in the morning. You don't believe it? No. I do. Oh.
Fifty's okay. I'd I'd take the seventies eighties we're having through October, though. Yeah. That was way nicer. Lovely, wasn't it?
Mhmm. Well, hey. Today is, among other things, a good day for taking ample time to relax, to catch your breath. It's national ample time day. I told you, I'm gonna take some ample time this weekend.
I need to go outside. Yeah. Even if it's cold. I get it. Some I need some nature.
There will be nature to be had. Yes. Ample time day. What else going on? It is, the New York City kidney walk is happening.
I assume this is to raise awareness for dialysis and kidney transplants and those kinds of things. I would also assume It is World Town Planning Day. Now do you do you ever play any of the games where you have to build a town? No. You should try one.
No. It'll keep you busy for hours and hours and hours now. Will because I don't think that sounds very fun. It's pretty it's pretty fun. It's pretty good.
I'm not. No way. I don't wanna be a civil engineer. Ah, it's good stuff. Care about.
I mean, I care about it, obviously. But I don't care about it. It is parents as Teachers Day. It is World Pianist Day. Pertussis awareness.
I had pertussis. You did not? I did. I was 16 and I had whooping cough. You did?
I did. Do I know this? I don't know. I had pertussis. How old were you?
16. Oh, gosh. Yeah. It was wild. It was the worst cough ever.
Are you sure it was pertussis? Yes. I was diagnosed with pertussis. I either you told me and I forgot or I you've never told me that. And that is a big deal because I feel like we know everything about each other.
Well Oh. It wasn't it wasn't great. How'd you get over it? Oh, I just quit thinking about it, and then what do you got over it. I took medicine and had to deal with it.
It was awful. Okay. It lasted far too long. I'm so sorry, Joshua. Well, I got better.
It was a long time ago. It is cook something bold and pungent day. No. Ew. Yes.
Indian food. Oh, don't say Indian food is not pungent. Yes. It is. What is the definition of pungent?
Leaving an aroma. Oh, Indian food is so it's my favorite. It's so good. And Okay. Having a sharp taste or smell.
Yeah. Curry is pretty Yeah. Sharp. Let's have Indian food right now. Well, not right now.
You can't wake up at 6 o'clock in the morning and start eating Indian food. I mean, yeah, you kinda can. You can. I could I could probably get get get it okay with that. It is World Radiography Day, and it is National STEM or Steam, depending on which version you wanna add in there, day and dunce day.
So way to go dunces. Way to be at dunce. You're so done. Yeah. Put on that cute hat and go sit on that stool.
Don't do that. Public humiliation is not good for anybody. Don't do that. Do it in private. Private humiliation?
Yeah. I guess. Is that a thing? Alright. Well, happy Friday, and good morning.
Yeah. Have you seen this video? There's a couple in Canada who opened up some drywall in their house, and they found stuffed animals I did see that video. Just insulation. It's a wild video because they they were pulling down sections.
The first section they pulled down, they were like, what in the world? And then they were starting to go like, how far into the wall does this go? Yeah. And they're like, is it gonna be insulation, or is it stuffed animals? And it was more and more stuffed animals, like floor to ceiling insulation.
And they had tall ceilings too. They were like 12 foot ceilings. I know. Ten foot ceilings. They're huge.
So then I wonder if that works as insulation. Did it keep the house warm? No. They're in British Columbia where it gets real cold. Is it more cost effective than insulation?
What's the r value of a pile of stuffed animals? I don't know. I gotta find out. Where did they get them all? So they okay.
They yeah. They just kept pulling more drywall and more and more stuffed animals. One, they put it on TikTok, this video of them tearing down the wall. One commenter was like, I had a duck that was just like that stuffed animal, and I haven't been able to find it. I love that duck.
That's so cool that I saw that duck again. That's weird. Of the animals most of the stuffed animals that they found were in great condition, so they donated them, to I don't know where they donated them to. They just donated them to. But I I want to know if it worked.
Did it work as insulation? No. Stuffed animals are not better than insulation are not a better insulation than actual insulation materials. Generally, insulation is light, fluffy, and porous, so it makes sense that someone could get their hands on enough of more common kinds of things to try and supplement with stuffed animals. However, it's not recommended to do it.
Okay. So not a good idea. Bad idea. Nah. Don't fill your attic with stuffed animals and then go, why is it so cold in here all the time?
Maybe because you have stuffed animals for insulation. No. I mean, think about batting. Right? Like, that's in there.
The stuffing that's inside a stuffed animal. Right? It's usually packed in there pretty good to keep the form of the thing. It's not really super soft and airy and fluffy like blowing insulation is in your attic. It's it's made to, have a layer, that creates an r value to keep you warm.
That is missing from If you stuffed animals. If you pulled out one of your drywalls, just one wall and saw stuffed animals, would you then go through your entire house? I don't know. You'd have to because you'd have to know, and then you'd have to replace sounds like so much work. But then you would have to replace it with ins like, actual insulation so that you could, 1, be warm in the winter, and 2, keep your heating costs low.
You would have to. Oh, I feel for them. Well We learned something today. We did. Stuffed animals Don't work as insulation.
Are not a good substitute for insulation. Don't do it. Yeah. Not a good idea. You ever heard of Bubba Watson?
Yes. You think so? Yeah. Bubba Watson is hold on. Okay.
Tell me what he done. Well, what he done was he's a superstar American pro golfer, and he was playing in a big tournament about a week ago in Indonesia. And during, a round at the Indonesian Masters, Bubba hit a hole in 1, which is exciting for anyone. I've never done it outside of mini golf, and it was accidental at best. But this guy, Bubba I feel like they're all accidental, please.
I mean, it yeah. Sorta. There's a whole lot of, like, you you everything went just right. Exactly. You know?
But, anyway, this special shot was pretty exciting because it resulted in a local family getting some some much needed help and a big boost. There was a pledge from the tournament sponsor, BNI, that if somebody got a hole in 1 on this particular hole, this family who was in need would get a new home. Okay. Bubba hit that hole in 1. The family's getting the new home.
I feel like that shouldn't that's a lot of luck. Yeah. Like, maybe just give the family. Maybe. Maybe.
Just give the family without getting the hole in 1. There is that. Right? To be tied to that. But what's cool is Bubba matched the donation.
And, again, this isn't Indonesia. Right? Like, it's we're not talking about somebody who's got, like, a $400,000 house or whatever. Like, we're talking about much needed shelter here. And so Bubba matched the donation.
He said the game of golf has helped tremendously around the world. For all the charity things that golf has brought to the table, it's very special to be a part of that. And the crowd and the golf community were then treated to another bit of excitement because 10 minutes later another player, hit another hole in 1, which means another house gets donated. So there were, in total, at least three houses that were donated to families in Indonesia in that one golf tournament. Only because they got holes in 1?
Well, 2 were because the hole's in 1, and then Bubba said, I'm doing 1 as well. So yeah. It's a nice I just wish that they too nice. Well, I just wish that they would have just done it Yeah. To do it.
It'd be nice instead of tying it to, well, if we get a hole in 1, you'll get a house. Yeah. As alright. I think it's I think it's good. It's good.
The work is good. The news is good. It's good news Alright. To get you going. Thanksgiving is coming up.
Yeah. It is. People are gonna have guests in their house. There is I just read this article about some of the weirdest guests. Weirdest guests?
Yes. Like, these are people that come to your house that are family. Not necessarily family. Family and friends. Okay.
For example, somebody had a friend stay over who forgot their toothbrush. Oh, no. They used a random loose one they found under the sink. Oh, no. That's probably the bathroom cleaning toothbrush.
Said. I use that one for cleaning, and she said, oh, I was just gonna use it for my teeth. Was going to or did? Was. I'm glad you didn't.
Don't just go trifling around. Looking for a toothbrush. Yeah. Look. There are stores around that sell toothbrushes even on Thanksgiving.
Someone else had a guest going through their garbage can pulling out perfectly good food that shouldn't go to waste. Oh, boy. Look, I will say the inverse of that. There are times when cleanup is happening and people throw away food that is still, like, people are munching on. Okay.
Or you'll all of a sudden go, where is my glass? And, oh, it's it's in the dishwasher. Gone. Yeah. Forget about it.
Like, it's way gone. Where did my plate go? I was still working on it. Nope. It's gone.
Someone had a friend stay over, and in the middle of the night, they woke up to them rearranging the furniture to improve the feng feng shui. Alright. I'm into that. Somebody's like, your flow isn't working. Like, they might have a great idea.
I'm open to that. Yeah? Yeah. A person said their brother-in-law was changing their baby's diaper on the dining room table. That's a problem.
They said, hey. As it was set for Thanksgiving. I'm not sure. I would assume that otherwise, you'd be like, that's weird, but, you know, wipe the table off with a wipe when you're done. The homeowner said, we offered them a private place.
Yeah. They did not take the hint. They said, we don't wanna miss the conversation. Yeah. That feels like they were in the middle of dinner, and they were like, let's change this baby's diaper right here.
That's not okay. I know. That is not okay. I'm trying to think of guests that we've had. Nobody that we've had stay has done anything weird.
We've had perfect conditions with guests. I'm grateful for that. Yeah. We got some real norm norms in our life. As a guest, have I done anything bizarro?
Probably. I certainly have never rearranged somebody's furniture Yes. Or used a random toothbrush. What if you did that in Airbnb? You're like, this room isn't working for me.
I'm gonna rearrange it. And then you just leave, and then they come back and they're like, what happened in here? Ah, it feels so feng shui. Yeah. Oh.
Oh. I walked in, and I feel so everything's balanced. Well done. Yeah. Guest.
Yeah. That'd be ridiculous. Do it in a hotel room? No. The room's backwards.
The desk should be over there. I don't think you can move the furniture in a hotel room. I think it's pretty locked down. I've never tried. I think the beds are pretty locked down.
I don't know about the, like, the dressers, but You wanna give it a shot? No. You don't wanna rearrange a room? No. I'm on vacation when I stay at an Airbnb.
I'm not moving furniture. Very good point. Very good point. Plus, you love moving furniture as it is. It's like, hey.
Should we move some furniture? And you're like, yes. I love it. I can't wait. Let me help you move furniture.
That's my favorite. We've talked before about bad dates that we've been on, you know, just throughout our lives. About bad dates? What's a bad date that you had? No.
No. No. This is this is not about us. Oh. This is about a guy Everything is about me.
This is a guy who was on a date with a girl. The girl has dubbed it the worst date ever. Okay. Let's see if it beats my bad date. Well, her date left mid meal Oh.
Because of what she ordered. What did she order? Well, let's get down to the meat of the thing here. According to the woman, he picked a steak for the dinner date, the steak house they were gonna go eat at. While they were ordering, she, dove into, a feast.
She wanted oysters and lamb chops and mac and cheese and brussels sprouts Holy moly. Crab fried rice. And, the woman says that her date said, if I wasn't here, would you order all of that? And, apparently, this amount of food quickly added up to well over a $100, and she was he was like, I don't And was he paying? Yeah.
I mean, on this date. Yeah. Like, I mean, this was gonna be super expensive. And that that was the line. He said, if I wasn't here, would you order all of this?
Exactly. Or are you just ordering all of this because you want left overs because Because I'm paying. Because I'm paying, and and he wasn't good with that. And so he was like, I'm gonna run to the restroom or whatever. He left a $100 bill with the waitress, and he left.
I kinda don't like him. He's like, I'm out. I'm out. I'm actually am on the side of this guy. Yeah.
So unfazed, she stayed. She enjoyed the meal solo. She finished the food. She, posted on social media about it. She's got a lot of reactions on social media.
Some supporting her, others saying this guy dodged a bullet because you're, you're a wild woman. I think she's crazy. I feel like that's a bit selfish. Yeah. Well, I don't think that you should absolutely not, like, oh, I'm just gonna have this cheap little side dish.
No. Order order a meal. Order a meal. Yeah. Yeah.
Have a meal. But you no sense in going over the lamb chops and the oysters and the mac and cheese and the brussels sprouts and crab fried rice. Let's get it all. And if she had ordered all of that and said, listen. I know I'm ordering a lot.
I'm happy to pitch in for the bill. Right. That would also be acceptable. Right. But I don't like that she's like, nope.
I'm gonna order all of this, and you're gonna pay. I know. So I'm on the I'm actually on the side of the gentleman. I mean, I'm glad he also wasn't just like, I'm gonna Bail. Bail.
Like, good luck to you. He was like, look. This is the crazy thing. I was planning on spending this. Here's a $100.
I I gotta go. Yeah. No. Good for that, dude. Yeah.
That's a that's a mess. I went on a date once. Here's my bad date. Yes. Do we have time for this?
Sure. I'll I'll make it brief. He took me to a modeling show that he was in. Well, that's fun. No.
Come watch me walk a runway. No. It was so stupid. Did you enjoy it? No.
And you didn't have a good time? No. No. Do you wanna come watch me walk the runway and show off the fashions? And then when he got down to the end of the runway, he pointed at me, and I'm like, I gotta get Did you leave mid fashion show?
My he took me there, and it was cold. Oh, no. Said I like but I he no. No second dates there. That was it.
Just the one fashion show. Thanks, buddy. I was talking to Emery last night, and she is desperate to have a job, but she's only 15 and a lot of places won't hire you until you're 16. Right. And she there was a commercial that we were watching the football game.
There's a commercial that came on for a fast food place and she said, oh, a kid in my 3rd hour works there. Yeah. He gets 2 free cookies every day. No way. Two free cookies every time he works?
Every day. Worth it. Is that all he gets? No. I think he also gets a paycheck, but He's not working for cookies.
He works there. He gets 2 cookies. Day. And it makes I mean, that's a perk. Right?
She loved that perk. I thought like cookies every day. I don't get a cookie, let alone 2 cookies every day. I worked when I was in high school, I worked at a pizza place. It was a pizza place slash movie rental place.
And you got a free soda at your shift. I thought that was pretty high class. And they had a slush puppy machine. So did you get a soda? Get slushies every day.
That doesn't count as a soda. If I was your manager, I'd be, like, cracking them down. I'd be like, listen. You're gonna have to pay I'll give you a discount, but you're gonna have to pay for that. That's not a soda.
I know. It that probably didn't count, and I'm sorry to the owners. They're out of business now because you They are out of business. Because they couldn't they were like, how come the slushies are costing us so much? We gotta shut down.
Can't believe it. I know. I was a bad employee. I'm so sorry. And they were lovely people that owned it.
I'm sure it's fine. Right? 2 free cookies every day. No way. At this particular place, they're not known for their cookies, so it's probably just because they can't get rid of them.
So they're like, hey. At the end of the day, we're either just gonna throw these cookies away. Get 2 cookies. No way. Because at the end of your shift, like, if you're you're not waiting till the end of the day, if you work the morning shift Oh.
And you get done at, you know, noon or 1 or 2 or whatever, you're taking 2 cookies. Beck worked at Pretzel Maker for a while. Yeah. And he when he would get done with his shifts, he would always come home with things of pretzels because Yeah. Same deal.
He didn't say that. All these pretzels. Oh, those were good days. Were they? Yes.
I had so much bread. We had so many pretzels. It was a lot of pretzels, but I kinda miss them now. You can go buy them. They still exist.
No. I know. But they didn't taste the same when they were free. They tasted better when they were free? I see.
Everything tastes better when it's free. Alright. Go have a pretzel. Or a cookie. I like a big pretzel with some cheese.
That's a good that's a good thing. Mustard. The bites are fine. I don't mind the mustard either, but the cheese? I prefer the mustard.
So good. We talk an awful lot about food on our program. Yeah. It's a thing about radio people that I mean, you're kinda new to the biz. Food is, is delicious, and we all love it.
And whenever there's, like, a hint of a smell Mhmm. I'm thinking about what I brought for breakfast this morning, and I I brought a bag of bacon. You did? Yes. I'm making bacon.
I brought a string cheese and a Uncrustable because somebody needs to go grocery shopping in our house. Who's that? You. Me? Yeah.
When I listen. We've talked about this. When I say someone, I mean, somebody that's not me. Uh-huh. When I say we, then I'll be included in that.
But when I say someone, it means you. No. I understand. Someone needs to fix my washer. Hey.
Someone needs to do it. I got the parts. I was supposed to do it yesterday, but I didn't. Someone needs to do all of the things. We We will hang out Oh, okay.
And relax. Alright. Cool. So you and I decided it would be a good time to have a date night. We went on a date night.
We did. So Wednesday night, you and I went to Fat Cats in Rexburg, and we went, to check out their new theaters, that have been, remodeled. They've got brand new chairs. Let's just for a minute just for a minute talk about the entire theater is big padded, comfy rocker chairs. They are awesome.
And the cup holders are big enough. This is something I noticed. The cup holders are big enough that you can put your phone in them. I like to have my phone a little bit handy sometimes. I didn't notice you did that.
It was sometimes the cup holders are too small. But it this one was? It was big enough for my phone. And I stuffed extra napkins in because there was nobody sitting in the seat next to me. Right.
So I was able to put my cup in this cup holder and my phone and my extra napkins in this cup holder. Well, that's convenient. Was perfect. Well, good. I also wanna, just for a moment, talk about the popcorn because the popcorn was so good.
Sometimes popcorn, when you go to the movie, it can be overdone or it can be stale Mhmm. Or it can be, like, too buttered. This one was spot on. It was super, super good. I had eaten so much of it, and I was like, I still have half a bag left.
I texted Emery to see if I should bring it home Uh-huh. Hoping that she would say yes so that I could still keep munching on it and feel okay about myself. She said no, and I went, well, now I can't feel good about myself and continue to eat all of this popcorn. It was so good. But then I regretted not bringing it home.
We also, they they do pizzas. They have a a whole menu of different foods that you can get. And no matter where you are in the place, if you're bowling, if you're in the arcade, if you're in a movie, they will bring the food to you. So, they'll walk them, go, oh, there's your seat. Okay.
Cool. Here's your pizza, which is great. And their pizza was so good. I was like, come on. Right?
Like, this isn't this place is known for pizza. It was awesome. The crust? Loved it. The crust yeah.
Perfect. You don't really often like eating the crust, but it was so good. Good. So we had a pizza. We had a couple of sodas.
We watched a movie. We had some popcorn, and we got to take a bunch of pictures that we'll post on social media here in just a few minutes, but we saw the new Venom movie Yep. Which was fun. It was a fun little movie. It was fine.
It was fine? You weren't familiar with all of the Venom stuff. You don't you don't know the first two movies. There's 2? Yeah.
This is the third one. Yeah. Oh my. Yeah. See so that's why, like, you're you're a little behind on what's going on.
Oh, it doesn't take much to catch up. It's not that I was behind of the story line. Alright. I caught up pretty quick. Okay.
But you don't know sort of the origin of how Venom came to be and needed. Okay. Fair enough. Fair enough. Did you have a good time, though?
I had a great time. Alright. The food was delicious. The Lindsay helped us out there. She was awesome.
Yeah. She was great. And the chairs were so comfy that you even took a little bit of a snooze. Don't talk about that. 10 minutes.
It was it was 10 minute little Howard man. Being an old man for a minute. Very, very, very cool, though. And they've done a lot of remodeling. And now next weekend, I'm actually gonna be hanging out there.
I'm gonna be broadcasting live next Saturday from 11 to 1 at Fat Cats in Rexburg. So if you wanna come check it out for yourself, you wanna look around the place, you'd be able to do that. You should pick up popcorn home. I probably should. You're right.
I probably should. And then you and I next month in December, we're going on another date. I've already booked it. Yes. We're going on another movie night.
We're gonna go check out another movie. Did you pick the movie already? No. Because new movies will come out between now and then. Okay.
So we'll pick as we get closer to the date, but we're gonna go back for another movie date night Awesome. With Fat Cats. Yeah. More popcorn for me. That is correct.
So, if you're looking for something to do this weekend, they have a lot of stuff to do between the glow golf, the bowling. They do the, the full arcade with great prize redemption. We have been there with our kids. We have been there with other adult couples, and we, just ourselves, we have a great time no matter who we're there with, what age group we are there with. It is a fun place.
And because it's in a college town, you see a lot of college kids in your Yeah. You can people watch. Yeah. You can people watch. And you we were sitting there as we were kinda hanging out at the table waiting for our pizza to arrive, and you were looking at the the first dates that were happening, and you're like, man, what a time.
But, also, aren't these kids looking like they're in middle school? Like, they're they're in their late teens, early twenties looking like they're in middle school. It's wild. We're not old. Place.
We're not old? No. No way. We still like to have fun. That's right.
We're still cool. That's right. I still go I still go to Fat Cats in Rexburg. Yeah. You can't stop me.
We're cool. That's right. Go check out fat cats, if you're looking for a fun date night. It's a great place. A great place.
There's an app. Well, there's not an app. There needs to be an app. There's an app. There's not an app.
There needs to be an app. What's the app? There there needs to be an app where you and a member of your family, your significant other, your partner, whoever you're deciding to eat with, you you slide left and right on restaurants until there's a match. I this has to exist already. It I it would be unbelievable if that existed.
Because I I think that I think that might exist. Last night, we're sitting there, the 3 of us, you, me, and Emery, trying to decide what to eat for dinner, and I go, I could cook. I made a menu. I've got this recipe and this recipe. Do you guys want potato soup, or do you want the spaghetti?
You weren't feeling well. Emery and I were both just kind of like blah. I didn't feel like cooking, but I also didn't feel like cooking and doing the dishes. And so I said, oh, let's just let's just order out. It's small grab them.
Yeah. And so we ordered out, but it took probably a half an hour to order or to decide on what we were gonna eat. In that 30 minutes, I could have absolutely have made spaghetti or potato soup and been we could have been eaten and done by the time our food arrived. 4 years ago, a guy developed an app. Okay.
I I'm trying to see if it's still around, but this is on, this is on a app developer website. And he said, this this will show you restaurants when you log in, that are based on your GPS location, and then everybody who you put into your group that's deciding where to eat would get a list of the same 25 restaurants. And you swipe right on the ones you want, left on the ones you don't. And when everybody's done, the app compares the selections and shows you where everybody wants to eat. Oh, I love it.
That was 4 years ago. I don't know if the app still exists. This app was called diner K. With a y, d y n e r, diner. I'm gonna look it up right now on the Play Store.
Now I don't know if it still exists, but it did 4 years ago. This guy was developing the app. So d y n e r? Mhmm. No.
Yeah. See, I think he didn't ever get it launched. Oh, no. A great idea. That's a fantastic idea because I thinks I think members of our family are afraid to say what they want because they're afraid that somebody's gonna say, oh, no.
I'm just so passive that I'm like, I will eat wherever someone picks. If somebody is really feeling something, I'm fine. Just say where you wanna go. But the one picky person in our house who always picks, by the way Never. If you've heard.
She always picks, where to eat. But, but, anyway yeah. No. I don't know. I it's a good idea, but does that is that just another step?
And how long does it take? Yeah. Right. If you're swiping left, if you're swiping right instantiate. I gotta we have to make a match.
And then what if you never find a match, and then it's gonna be it's gonna be chaos. The other thing I just love, if we could do it every day, I would be the happiest guy, is if, everybody's like, let's go eat somewhere. And then we get into the car, and I'm driving, and I go, okay. Where are we going? And then no one says anything.
That's my favorite. It's like, come on. I love there's this place in Boise, and it's called The Warehouse. Yeah. It's very cool.
And you walk in, and it's just a giant warehouse, and there's multiple different places to eat. It's like a food court, if you will. And yes. Mhmm. And everybody is happy when we go eat there because there's something for everybody there.
There's all kinds of food. You go get your food and you meet back at the table. Yep. And I We need one of those. Love it.
We need we need that. Yeah. We do. A bit it's just a stand alone food court with good restaurants. And you can go and you can get Japanese food or you can get, Greek gyro or you can get Waffles.
Mac and cheese. You can get a a grilled cheese sandwich. You can get waffles. You can grab salmon if you want. Whatever you want.
They got all kinds of stuff. That's cool. Somebody bring that to Idaho Falls. Yeah. That's a brilliant idea.
I'll even travel to Pocatello Forest. I will go anywhere in East Idaho to just make that decision that much easier. Oh, everybody can eat? Great. Go find your food.
It's like foraging at a at a food court. Foraging. Forage. That's what you can call it. I even gave you the name.
Bring it. Yeah. I just can't be bothered to bring it. So somebody else do it. Yeah.
Tag. You're in. Yeah. I don't want I can't be bothered to go get capital. No.
But put an idea into fruition. It's a good idea. It is a fantastic idea. A construction worker in Vancouver bought a scratch off lottery ticket for a game called the concert of a lifetime. Alright.
So this is in Canada, Vancouver, Canada. Yes. The grand prize was a VIP suite for 14 people at one of Taylor Swift's concerts. No way. He also won $25,000.
That is the concert of a lifetime. He A suite for 14 Yes. And 25 k. Yes. Wow.
He could have he would have had no problem filling all 14 seats at the show, but he said he's setting aside 4 for some of his family, and then he's giving the rest the 10 rest of the tickets to the Make A Wish Foundation. That's amazing. Which is so nice. That's incredible. No word on whether or not he's giving away any of the money that he's won.
No. No. No. No. I mean I don't wanna discredit his kindness either.
That's pretty incredible. What a what a cool suit to do. Act. And for him to be like, look. I got 4 people in the fam.
We're gonna go check out the show, but I I'm not I wanna do something special. I think that's great. I think that's great too. That is really, really cool. Also, what is this game concert of a lifetime?
Well, it's probably a Canadian, lottery thing. I wanna join the Canadian lottery. But we're not not in Canada. So so sorry. No worries.
You can't. It was announced yesterday by the prime minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese. K. He said social media is harming our kids, and it's time to do something about it. He What are we doing in Australia?
He is they're trying to get a law passed to make social media, banned for kids under 16. Really? He would go they're going into vote later this year, I think. Time out. Time out called out to this month.
The parliament has to vote on the bill later this month. Yes. And it would go into effect 12 months after the law passes. So late next year, parents would not be able to opt out of it. It would be a full ban for kids under 16.
And they're talking TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, x Facebook. Twitter. I'll always call it Twitter. And YouTube. Uh-huh.
Kids and parents even. Yeah. Kids and parents wouldn't get in trouble. Just the sites would, and they'd have to take reasonable steps to prevent access to these children. That's really interesting.
I I wonder what the safeguards would be. Look. I'm all for kids, development, developmental health. I think it's really important. Uh-huh.
And screen time can hinder a lot of stuff, plus you can, you know, you can get exposed to things early. There's a lot of different, arguments for and against. I think there's a lot of information. I think access to that information is important. Yes.
Including mental health services. A lot of kids get mental health services there. I I that that one is probably the most interesting on the list. Like, social media for endless scrolling sake, I I get. But, like, YouTube itself has put out YouTube Kids, which is kids content, shows made for kids.
Kids shows. No different than Disney Channel Junior, Nick Junior, anything else. Yeah. So that's an interesting one for me to have it on the list. Now I know YouTube Shorts, the way it works is similar to Reels, is similar to TikTok, is similar to everything else.
So, that's interesting to me. And kids can get they get around things by lying about their age when they open accounts all the time. Right. It would also push the problem underground, I think, where kids would still manage to log in. They just hide it.
Can you imagine a world where the the things that go viral, the the brain rot, the stuff that is happening every day in in middle schools and and even younger where it's just these these words. I mean, the information flies so quick Yeah. That I wonder what happens in a world where it's back to like, we didn't have that stuff growing up, and we did just fine. So Look at us. We're totally normal.
Mhmm. Emotionally mature adults. That's right. Look at us. We're 5.
Yep. Yep. I just know when we had kids I mean, we have kids, but when our kids were younger and we would put hard limits on them for certain things, there was a new app that would pop up, and we'd be like, no. You can't have Snapchat. Okay.
That's fine. I'll just use this other app that you've never heard of because you're old, but the kids know about it. Sure. They find other ways of getting what they want. And communicating and sharing stuff and whatever.
Yeah. Interesting. It is very interesting. Look. I again, totally on board with safeguards and things that we need to do to keep everybody safe and developmenting and and developing, you know, appropriately.
But that's an interesting challenge. That is a very interesting challenge. Good luck, Australia. You're about to It's you're going into a you're going into a what do they call it? A snake pit?
I don't know what the right word is. Battlefield? Yeah. You're going into a into a big conversation. Arm up.
Or whatever. I was just looking out the weakest squirrel I've ever seen in my life. You did? Yeah. What was it?
A squirrel, I said. Well, I know. But what was what was it so big? His body. You had a big body?
It was he was a little chubby. And I said, hey, buddy. Are you having some babies, or are you just puffing up for the winter? I think it's probably storing up for the winter. You think so?
Correct? Yeah. I think that's probably what's going on. It has to be because that was the biggest squirrel I've ever seen in my life. Ever?
Well, I'm sure I've probably seen more, but there's a there was a beefcake of a squirrel. If we were in Can you What? Beefcake? Yeah. A beefcake of a squirrel wanders by.
If we were in a time where we had to hunt and forage for food would have found a I would have find somebody get that squirrel because he's gonna feed our whole tribe. Wow. That big. Yeah. I'm sad I missed it.
It was I'm proud of that squirrel. I hope that squirrel lives a long, healthy, little life. Me too. I hope he's just beefing up for the winter and going, I'm set. What do you think he's been eating?
I don't know. I don't know. There's probably feeders around. I mean, there's neighborhoods around. I'm sure you squirrels all the time.
I've never seen a squirrel in our neighborhood that big. When did I fill the feeder? Sunday. Yeah. Feeder's empty.
I'm not kidding you. The squirrel got, like, real busy on the feeder. It's Squirrels. There's multiple. Oh, yeah.
Good for you. To go feed I'm gonna have to go feed them again. They are bulking up for winter for sure. I'm happy to contribute. I don't know if they're even eating it or if they're just grabbing mouthfuls and squirreling it away.
Yeah. Exactly. That's what's happening. It's it's, it's near winter. The they're beef caking up, I think, is what we can say.
So go squirrel, go. It's Friday, which means another week of fantasy football has begun. And you're not playing against me. You're playing against our son. Right?
Yeah. Good deal. Because you're no fun to play against. Why? Because when you when you win, you win and you're big, and when you lose, you're sad.
It's just you gotta I am fun. I didn't say you're not fun. I said you're no fun to play against. You said you're no fun. To play against.
Finish the whole sentence. You're no fun. I am so much fun. No. You are.
You're a blast, unless you're winning or losing in fantasy football. So as it happens, I am playing against our daughter who, was able to get some points on the board yesterday. I have 0 because I didn't have anybody playing last night. You and our son, however, do. Bro.
You had your quarterback and your defense playing last night, and our son Beck had, Ja'Marr Chase, the wide receiver, who did an insane game. He did. What an insane game that guy played. So well. Three touchdowns.
He, caught the ball 11 times. He went 264 yards. Unbelievable, that guy. I know. Unreal.
Unreal. I know. Okay. It was projected before the game even started that I was going to win our Fantasy Football Week by I think I had 73%, and he had I don't know. What what what I don't A 100 minus 73.
You tell me. No. Stop. 27. Okay.
That's what he was projected at. Don't make me feel dumb about it. Don't make me feel dumb. Josh. Okay.
Last night, after his one guy played after Jamar Chase played, I'm now down to a 44% win probability. And he's at a 56? Yep. Wow. Because he had one solid good player last night.
They got 55 points. 55 points from 1 guy. Yeah. That's that's pretty unheard of. Your quarterback didn't do bad.
Your quarterback brought in 32. Let's be real. He's the best quarterback in the NFL. The reason that you have as many points as you do is because you have a good quarterback. Your defense actually cost you a point.
I know. I know. That's okay. Because I knew Lamar was gonna bring it, and he did. Lamar Jackson, quarterback of the Baltimore Ravens.
He's primo. He's so good. I like I really enjoy watching Lamar Jackson play because he is he's a smooth criminal. I don't know. What?
I don't know. I don't I don't think that's what he is. He's a good quarterback. He's a really good quarterback. He plays so well that I think I just mean because there's a lot of pressure when you're the quarterback, and he can just Yeah.
I don't know. He brings it. He makes some really smart decisions under pressure, and I I enjoyed that. Craziest run plays I've ever seen. Like, that guy Yeah.
Like, right down the sideline, it was unbelievable. He's so cool. Lipping back, running from guys who were trying to tackle him, and almost scored a touchdown doing it. Wild. I know.
He's the best quarterback in the NFL, and I will yeah. Fight me. I'm not going to fight you. A lot of people will because they'll say, oh, I think there's a guy who plays for Kansas who's better, and I would heavily disagree with you. You mean the guy with the most interceptions Yeah.
Of any other player, any other quarterback? That guy? Let's discuss. Sure. Call me if you're a Kansas fan.
Let's discuss. Lamar Jackson is a fantastic, fantastic. NFL right now. Alright. Well, good.
Then he's on your team as we are all aware. We've all heard. Football. Yeah. Welcome to another week of it.
Would you rather this or that Friday edition? Would you rather wash your hair with mashed potatoes and gravy or wash your hair with green bean casserole? I'm gonna pick mashed potatoes and gravy. Why? And then I'm gonna promptly take a shower.
I'm gonna also pick mashed potatoes and gravy just because I feel like it's less chunky. That's true. The beans are gonna be an issue. Unless you're trying to exfoliate, Chase, beans might be the answer. But they're soft beans, so they'll just squish.
That's a good point. They're not really gonna exfoliate anything. I feel like the green beans are gonna be more healthy for your hair. You think? Yeah.
We might have to try this in real time. What's the soup in, green bean casserole? Cream of mushroom. Yeah. That's awful.
I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. Mashed potatoes and gravy all the way. Same thing you'll find on my plate, mashed potatoes and gravy, no green bean casserole. I love green bean casserole.
Unless you put cheese in it, there's some people that put cheese in it, and I don't care for that. Some people put bacon in it. I don't care for that again. You just want green beans, the soup, and the onions. Yeah.
Keep it easy breezy. That's simple. You think the green bean company and the the cream of mushroom soup company were like, hey. Look. We got a lot of this stuff.
We need to make something happen. Yes. And French onions were over there like, me too. I want in. And they went, that's it.
It's simple. It's the 3 of us. Let's go. Let's go. Put the recipe on each one of us.
Yeah. You can make it. It's easy. I like green bean casserole. In fact, I should probably just make some you could make even just a small batch of it.
Sure can. I should make that. Yeah. I mean, you can enjoy a whole batch for yourself. Yeah.
I would. Okay. Just open up the 3 cans and just take a scoop of each. You don't even have to heat it up. Gross.
All the flavors are there. Oh, that's awful. Oh, gross. Don't put cheese in it No. Or bacon.
Would you rather this or that? Smashed potatoes and gravy washing the hair. I'm a bald guy. It's just gonna smear everywhere anyway. Wash your beard with it.
That's the rules. Nobody wants them. Gravy beard. Ugh. Come on.
You're making it worse. Alright. You wanna you wanna wrap this thing up? Wrap it up. Should we call it a day?
Let's well, not really because we still have work to do. No. I understand. I'm just meaning Let's call it a day for the morning show. Yeah.
We've put in our time. We've done the week. I hope that we've made you giggle Sure. Or at least smile. Yeah.
That's that's what it's about. Right? I was looking at, this last little football thing. For a long time, I was a Steelers fan Mhmm. Hanging in my wall.
I have a I have a Troy Polamalu jersey. That'll give you any kind of timeline for when I was a Steelers fan. And I have a real actual terrible towel hanging in my studio Okay. Downstairs. Yeah.
The Washington Commanders will host the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, and that means there will be a lot of terrible towels in the stands. But a lot of people are trying to kinda turn this around on on the Steelers. And so, the Washington Commanders have distributed 50,000 burgundy towels to fans Oh, no. So that they can drown out the yellow terrible towel. So if you're watching the game on Sunday between Washington and Pittsburgh, watch for those, burgundy towels.
Did they name them? Because the yellow terrible towel is such a great name. I'm trying to see oh, here's the other thing people are saying specifically about Washington commanders doing this is that the team colors are burgundy and yellow. So it's just gonna look like Their colors You're right. The whole stand is filled with Washington fans.
That's hilarious. Yeah. It'll be interesting. I wonder if Pittsburgh goes, alright. I'm Don't take your terrible towels.
Take something else. It's not a Viking's helmet, but it's What It's a towel. So Okay. I mean Scary. The some of the fans wear, like, a steelworker's hard hat Okay.
If you're looking for headgear Still not. Steel. Still not. There's actually quite a few. I feel like in our area, there's a lot of Steelers fans.
I see some Steelers fans. I see a lot of 40 niners fans. There's a lot of 49ers fans. I see a lot of Dallas fans. Yeah.
I've seen more Minnesota fans, and I I'm surprised by that. Because Yeah. We're the best. Lots of Denver fans. It's one of the most regional teams Yeah.
And Raiders Raiders. Because of the Las Vegas move, probably. But even before that, who do I not see fans of? I don't know. The Jaguars and the Panthers.
Aw. Sad. Anyway, that's enough of that. Have a great rest of your Friday. Have a good weekend.
We'll be back on Monday bright and early to hang out with you in the studio. Hey. Decompress this weekend. Yeah. Everybody, get some fresh air.
