Full show transcript:
You know how when your kids run out of something and they don't tell you that the thing is run out? Like shampoo. Like shampoo or anything. And then you, for this morning it was soap. Who ran out of soap? We did.
Oh, okay. So you went to take a shower and didn't have soap? Yep. Do you like using a bar?
I have a bar, but I also have body wash and I kind of use one or the other.
Okay, cool. Because there's three open soap bars downstairs because every time somebody took a shower, I guess they open a new bar. I use body wash and Beck use body wash. So somebody left three open soap bars in the downstairs shower. They're just sitting there.
I don't shower down there. Don't nuts. I don't shower down there. Have fun. There's three open bars of soap. But Emory and I share the upstairs shower. You and Beck share the downstairs shower.
Yeah, but then she started showering downstairs a little bit. So I think she opened up a bar or two or something. Yeah, she might have. So there's a couple of bars of soap down there. One might have gotten thrown away because there was one on the floor and you recently did a big deep clean on the bathrooms. So you might have thrown one away. It was possible. But there's at least two still down there. So go ahead, grab.
Okay, but that's not helpful this morning when I needed to take a shower.
Yeah, now it's helpful because you can now get one for later on when you shower again.
And it wasn't that big of a problem because I do have body wash also. But there's I use soap for specific things and I use body wash for specific things. That's weird. I use them both interchangeably.
I just use body wash on my little. What does that thing? Silicon scrubby thing? Because you made us get rid of Lufas. Yeah, they said Lufas are gross. Who's they people? The silicone scrubby peoples.
I bet that's who I like the silicone scrubby better than a Lufa.
Yeah, big, so big silicone scrubbies out there trying to kill the Lufa industry.
Okay, but here's the problem I had. What is it shower in the shower? Yeah, what? Yeah. No soap. Get out of the shower, dripping, dripping, dripping on the floor.
Slippery situation. No soap. I also noticed you removed the no slip mat from the tub. Yeah, I don't like it. I know you don't like it, but it's there for a reason and I don't want you to slip and fall. I don't care if you don't like it. It's a safety thing.
I know, but it's gross. It's not and I have to take it out when I want to take a bath. You don't. Yeah, I'm not gonna lay it. No, people have other gross feet on it and it collects all kinds of stuff because no, it doesn't. It does. I don't like it.
It's not like miner's moss. What? Okay, so here's something for you. When you're panning for gold and slew sing and stuff, there's this green grass stuff that's called miner's moss and gold is heavier than like pebbles and stuff and so it sinks to the bottom and so when you're doing your panning and you're slew sing, you use the miner's moss to catch the stuff.
Yeah, it is kind of like that.
It's not. It is. No, it's not miner's moss. It kind of is. No, it's not though because it's in a bathtub.
Yeah, not in a river. And all of the gross things from your feet and your dirty feet are on it and it collects all the hair.
Where are you taking your feet? On the mat.
No, I know. Where are you getting all this dirt and hair and debris that are going to get caught in the mat? Where are your feet going that you're not a hobbit?
No, I understand that but you still have yucky feet. I'm barefoot when I the second I step inside my house. I collect stuff. We have a clean house. I understand that too but I'm also whatever.
I don't understand how your feet are getting so dirty you're grossed out by a bath mat. The only people that use that bath mat are you and our daughter who are clean people. No, I know. So it's your own dirt is what I'm saying. It isn't like random strangers walking through your bath mat.
I get it. I don't like it so I took it out.
But you're gonna slip and fall. I'm not. You're you the other day said I almost slipped and fell.
But I didn't and I'm safe and I'm fine. Listen. Listen, there was no soap and the people should just tell me when they run out of stuff so that I can go buy more. Okay, I got it. Settle down. You settle down.
You ready to start the show? Yes. All right, let's go.
Hey there. Hi. I was clearing my throat. I didn't realize that that I had to clear my throat but here we are. Here we are. Hey, how are you this morning?
Great. You were kind of up and at them. You were getting some stuff done this morning. Was I? I was trying to just slumber away and you were taking out the garbage to the street for garbage day.
Starting the cars, taking showers, getting up and going. I'm like, what is happening? Why am I still I feel like a shrub? Because I was just ready to sleep. That was all I needed.
I don't have anything to say other than I woke up and I had to use the restroom and I was like, well, since I'm up, I might as well just hit all these things.
Well, I'm proud of you. Thanks.
Taking out the garbage is something to be real proud of.
For sure. What inspired you?
There was a bag by the door and I had to let the dog out. A garbage bag. And I said, oh, it's also Wednesday. So let's move that garbage can to the street. And that's what inspired me. Nice. It's good inspiration. And then I looked outside and saw frost on the windows and I went, yuck. Yeah. Who invited frost to the party?
Well, my truck was warm and toasty by the time I got in there. That was that never happens. Like I can't remember the last time I got into a preheated warmed up truck. It's been a very long time.
I feel like the morning, like most of the time, time goes quick, right? Like, you're like, no, I've got I've got to have more time than this. But you don't. But this morning, it felt like everything was taking so like time was just moving so slowly. Yeah. Like I took a shower and then I took out the garbage and then I heated up the cars and I packed my lunch and it was still five something.
Yeah.
What is going on? I could get so much done if I just did this every day. Oh, I'm not gonna. Let's be real.
I don't know. You might have turned a new leaf, new year, new you and all that. Okay.
Don't get crazy. Just don't expect it.
I see. Well, I won't. Okay. But I appreciate it. So thank you. Thumbs up. Yeah. What's on the plan for the rest of the day? Just taking it easy.
Yeah, I think I've done what I'm supposed to do for the day.
That's how I treat it. That's what I'd be like. I put in a lot of effort at five in the morning. I think I'm going to slow down now. Take it easy. I'm tapped. Yeah. Well, thank you for doing it. You're welcome, buddy. Made it through yesterday's show on this brand new spaceship motherboard.
That's right. How do you feel about it? I feel a lot better now that I've got one show down and many, many, many more to come. So that's good news. I think it's nice to be a little more confident with my ability to know what knobs do what what buttons do I really need to push and that kind of stuff. So there's definitely some additional programming that I've noticed is missing. And that's been an interesting thing is that you don't know what parts you missed when you were installing it and setting it up until you're using it. And then you go, Oh, yeah, it doesn't do that thing. I found out another one this morning, two already this morning. And I went, I got to figure out why it does that. And then I got to figure out why it doesn't do that. So I like the levels like the meters here.
Uh huh. How high can you make those go?
Well, you don't want them to go too super high.
No, I get that part. Yeah. How high are yours going? Because I feel like I talk quieter than you do. So I like to see a comparison.
Well, you can right here if you can see, and maybe you can't from where you're at, but each individual, one of these has a little meter as well. And so you can see I'm talking. And then when I get loud, it gets kind of up here into this other color, like it's green, green, green, green. And then it's kind of a yellow. And then when you talk, same thing, green, green, green, green. And then when you get loud, it stops at the yellow. And that means I've got my stuff at a good level.
Great. Yeah. Awesome. Yeah. You're doing it. Thanks. You're working the mothership. Yeah, it's quite the board. It is quite the board. And it is very intimidating. And it's pretty. Yeah. There's a lot of lights and colors.
You see, I was got this logo in the center right here. I got to change that too. Because I can make that the Classy 97 logo.
Isn't that cool? Yeah. Yeah. I think so. So I got to do that. Anyway, yeah, it's pretty cool. Big old touchscreen right in the middle of it. Lots of cool colors down here. So like, did you notice that this button and this button match? And this button and this button match? Yes. Why do you suppose that is? Couldn't tell you.
Well, I can because I built it. So that's my microphone and your microphone, my computer and your computer. So like, if we need to play audio from your side of the room, I can make that happen. That's pretty dope. This one and this one match. Do you know why? Nope. Oh, probably because they're paired together. That's the phone.
And that one there is the phone recording software. Yeah. Pretty cool. That is pretty cool. Pretty cool. There's also this button. It's all the phone. In there. Not over here. In here.
You control the phone by the board now.
That's right. You need to do that. I know. Isn't that something?
That is something. Yeah. I'm proud of you for learning how to operate it.
Thank you very much. That's it. Old dog new tricks. Yeah, exactly.
That's a very intimidating board. So I'm, I am impressed.
You should be.
I just said I was. Oh, you shouldn't be. It's, I read a manual. Oh, gross. That's, oh, and it's like, 380 pages long. Yeah, but it is. It's huge. Did you read the whole thing?
I read a lot of it. By like, and now every time something comes up, like I said, I found two new things. Now I have to go dig into it and individually research those things. Yuck. Oh, yeah.
You read a manual. That makes my brain hurt. Yeah.
Not every line of it. I've read a portion of it.
You just skimmed over what you needed to know.
I didn't skim. I read in detail what I needed to know, but I don't need to know every little single thing until stuff comes up. And it's like, Hey, how come it does this and doesn't do that?
Sounds like you should have read every single little thing.
Well, now I go and research those pieces. That's a reference. That thing would be a three inch binder if I printed it. It's huge. You read it online. It's a PDF. Ew, that's even worse. No, it's great because then I can just search it.
I don't have to like, that's true. You know, that's true. Yeah. I was reading a printed out copy of something the other day and I went, Oh, I wish that I could just do a search for what I'm looking for in a printed copy.
Yeah. You might be able to find a PDF online if it's some regular document. It wasn't. Yeah. If it's like an internal thing, you're, it was near and tribes.
And I was like, Ah, man, yeah, I've gotten spoiled with the search button.
True story. So anyway, I got a couple of things to research more to do all the time on the new board, but day two.
Do you always read manuals? Yeah. You really kind of do. Yeah. I know that about you actually. You sit down. That's why I don't like fiction.
Struggle with fiction because I'm the manual guy. Yeah. You are. I like, I like stories that are, you know, about fishing and whatnot, but man, Ewell's manuals. Nice. Well done.
All right. Hey, it's time for some good news. And today's good news story comes from Santa Fe, New Mexico. Santa Fe. That was not the right tune. I know, was it? But yeah, that's what I was expecting.
I was it.
That's the one. I wasn't going to do it. I thought about it and then I wasn't and then you paused and I went, well, now I guess I got it.
Well, I felt like it was a vocal stem that I was going to trigger. And so I was giving you the opportunity.
It was, but then I couldn't remember the tune. And now you've made me sing the wrong tune.
I didn't make you, but I appreciate that you did.
You paused. Like you wanted me to.
Speaking of pause, check this out. Santa Fe Animal Shelter and Humane Society in Santa Fe, New Mexico ended 2025 with an amazing surprise. A mystery couple walked into the shelter and casually handed over a check for $100,000. No kidding. That's impressive.
That's very impressive.
The shelter staff obviously stunned, especially since it cost about $1800 to care for a single animal each year. The single donation covers the tab for dozens of furry friends at the shelter.
The donors explained that they have a deep history with the organization. Their family was involved with the original shelter back in 1939. The marketing communications director for the shelter is named Lex. And Lex said that the shelter is thankful for the gift and the continued support of everyone in the community.
We're not able to do the work without our community is what Lex said. Time and time again, we are shocked that people show up and care about our animals. And there are no words that can describe how grateful we are. So an anonymous couple donating $100,000 to the Santa Fe Animal and Humane Society. That's huge. Pretty amazing. Yeah. So congrats. Well done.
What a gift.
I know. That's a total gift. Thanks guys.
No kidding. The Santa Fe Animal Shelter. Santa Fe. It's good news.
So I, right before Christmas, I bought something from Amazon. And then I returned it because it didn't fit. And I just did a gift credit. Okay. Cause I was like, I'll use that again. And then I ordered something from Amazon.
Use the gift credit. Great. Fine. And then yesterday I ordered something. This was a little sneaky on Amazon and I didn't care for it. Okay. And we used to have prime, but I got rid of it a long time ago.
Do we have prime again? No.
Okay. I got mad at good old Jeff when he got, when he rented Italy to get married.
That's why I said, I'm not getting prime.
Right. I'm gonna show him. Yeah. Cause I mean, look, we're, we're speaking with our wallet. Go on.
I'm still ordering from Amazon. I understand. But I'm not subscribing. Right. I'm going to show him. Exactly. Okay. So yesterday I knew I had a little bit of gift, like gift balance left. I didn't know how much and I hadn't been tracking how much I had left or anything. And I ordered the thing that I needed to order and it was like $7 to ship. And it was, it's tiny.
I know it was. It's just, I have a little printer, like a photo printer. Yeah. And I just ordered more photo paper for it. Right. And it's small. It's very small. $7 to ship it.
And that's bananas. The cost of the paper was $26. Wouldn't you know that the amount with the shipping was the exact number I needed to wipe out my gift card balance? How about that? So are you saying that I'm saying like the total with shipping was $33.48.
Okay. And it said, Oh, you have exactly $33.48. And I went, I feel like maybe you just added the shipping cost of what to use up my card was left in my gift card balance.
For it to be that exact with that's suspicious.
That's what I thought. Yeah. Thank you very much.
It's a wild coincidence if it's not what you said. Now, why did that particular seller charge you shipping? Was there not a free shipping option? Only if you have Prime. But there wasn't, there wasn't another one because listen, the Prime benefits have gotten worse and worse.
I know. No, sometimes you can. It'll say, do you want free shipping if you subscribe to Prime or do you want free shipping anyway? Right. Because it will give you that option. And I always go, uh, yeah, free shipping. Right. No, I didn't have that option this time.
Because sometimes it'll be like, if you spend four more dollars, you get free shipping because you qualify for the free shipping for orders over this minimum purchase, whatever.
No, I didn't say that this time. Interesting. How? Because I don't have Prime
either because, you know, as you said, we got rid of it. But I have a shopping cart right here with three items. Oh, and stuff went off of sale. I hate when that happens because now it's more expensive.
Yeah. But I think I have free shipping on all of it. Well, lucky you. Oh, see, now this is on sale. If I have Prime, I can save money on the one item that's not on sale anymore. But it says, join Prime and you can buy this item for, it's like $16 less expensive.
If you get Prime. Yeah. Yeah, it's not, that's not a good deal because Prime is a lot of money.
So why don't I just do the free trial and then unsubscribe?
You can do that. Over and over and over. I've done that before.
I mean, who's going to tell Jeff? Is he going to show up here in his giant boat? No. And be like, Hey, what are you doing? You can't do free trials over and over and over.
You think you're the only one who's ever going to do that?
Absolutely not. That's what I'm saying. Jeff isn't going to show up and tell me anything.
Just because we're not subscribing doesn't mean he's not still making, we're still buying stuff from Amazon. I get it. I just didn't like the fact that I was like, you're going to charge me $7, which is exactly the price I need. Yeah, that's weird. To wipe out my gift card balance. Hmm.
Suspicious. Free delivery, free delivery, free delivery. Yeah. On all three of the items in my cart right now with no Prime.
Listen, I know because I've ordered stuff before. I think they just wanted me to use all of my gift card.
Two items in my cart changed price. One went from $22 to $24. And then the bigger one went up considerably. And I don't like that. Like it went up. What do you have in your cart? $32.
That one went up. What is it? Oh, truck parts in a book. You know how I do. Truck parts in a book. That's what I shop for. I know. I know this about you. I always put stuff in my cart and then I look at the price and then I go, let's move that to save for later.
Well, see, I was going to buy it when I put it in the cart and you were like, hold off. And I went, okay, because I have a little bit of a gift card balance. Oh. But then I held on and now everything went up multiple dollars. Oh, no. See, and now I'm like, I missed a deal and I hate that.
I didn't, I didn't know. I know.
You wouldn't have. It's my cart, not yours. Exactly. How would you know? Jeff, give me the deals.
Just give me the deals, Jeff. You don't need it. Just give me the deals back, Jeff.
I was going to start off by saying that I have a lot of skills and then I want to change that to say I have some skills. Okay. What are some of your skills? Well, yesterday I came to my attention. Somebody was very impressed that I could type without looking at my hands. Is that right? Yeah. And he said, you can type without looking? He was very impressed.
I mean, we only like learned how to do this in elementary school with typing, you know, little typing class. Well, we had the, what were those called? Keyboards. They were just called keyboards. It had to have had a better name than that. What was it?
I don't know. I learned on a computer. I don't know where to, I don't know how you learned.
It was an actual machine that taught you how to type.
No, we didn't have that. We just had a computer and a keyboard.
Well, we had that too. We had the computer lab. See, I was fortunate in fourth, fifth, and sixth grade they had built a new elementary school. And when they built the new elementary school, they put in a whole new computer lab. And so we had, we had really nice, brand new Macs at the time. And, and I say it that way because I'm not a Mac guy. Anyway, but that's where I learned some work.
No. I, thank you. I learned typing and word processing and also how to play Oregon Trail. So that was all in the computer lab, but we had these little typing machines that we, that we would, they were like on a cart and they would be brought into the classroom and they would teach us how to, they would show a word and you had to type the word. And it would teach you proper hand placement and you'd work on your typing speed.
If my school had that, I don't remember that. I just remember going to a computer lab, taking typing class and spending 10 minutes pushing a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a. Now, s.
S, s, s. Oh man. Maybe they were blue. Maybe it's this.
I have no idea. I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah. We didn't have that in Burley. You were at the real fancy school.
Well, I told you it was a brand new elementary school.
So it was, You guys were so fancy.
Yeah. A little bit. I, I realized we might have been a little bit fancy for whatever 1990, whatever it was. But anyway, I learned how to type without looking at the keyboard. That was very important.
It was important. They wanted every, all of us kids to learn how to type on the keyboard and we all did.
It was Mavis Beacon was the software that we would all type with, by the way.
Okay. Congrats.
Do you, do you remember the, uh, the typing software Mavis Beacon? I do not. You should look it up. I am. Okay. Anyway, uh, yeah. So that was an impressive skill. What other, what other skills do you have?
Oh, that was just the one I wanted to talk about. Yeah. Just the typing skill. How fast can you type? I'm a pretty fast typer, but I have a co-worker who is very fast.
Yeah. I don't know. There's an online thing that you can see how fast you can type. You could do it if you want. We'll find out how many words per minute.
I kind of want to. Yesterday, our friend sent us a reading challenge. It was how fast you can read. Right. What was mine? I made it to like 900.
900 words per minute?
I don't know if that's true. Hold on.
Let me like, I'm, I, my eyes started bugging out between 450 and 500.
I made it all the way to the end. Let's see. It was, it was speed, speed reading training. It started at 300 words per minute and ended at 900 words per minute. I made it all the way to 900.
But I'm telling you between 450 and five, my eyeballs were like, what is going on right now? Yeah.
It was hard. It got tricky there at 900. But it said, if you read it, it said, like, don't focus on actually reading the words, like, no, I know, you just read. Right.
But I told you, my eyeballs started going, wow, wow, wow. They got all shaky. I didn't like that. Okay.
I do not remember Mavis speaking. Okay. I have no recollection of that. Well, it was a thing. Well, Mountain View Elementary in Burley, Idaho did not have that.
But Fox Hollow in Idaho Falls did.
In 1990.
Now, whatever it was, fourth, fifth and sixth grade. Okay. Whatever that is.
Yeah. That's, that's how old I was when I went to Mountain View. There you go. Was it Mountain View or Mountain Valley?
Now I can't remember. I don't know. I didn't go there. I didn't either. You didn't go there? I did go there. All right. Are you looking it up? Yeah, it was Mountain View. Are you sure? Yeah. No, you're not.
I'm looking it up. Why did you switch elementary schools? You lived in the same neighborhood. Did they redraw the lines? What are you talking about? Why did you go to a different elementary school midway through your elementary school?
Because we had to. The first elementary school, Dorschag, was first, second and third grade. And then we went to Mountain View for fourth, fifth and sixth grade. There were two separate elementary schools. Huh. You could actually stay at Dorschag or go to Mountain View. You had to, you got to pick for fourth grade.
Why did you pick that one?
Because I wanted to go to the new cool school. I was like, I don't want to stay at this baby school. I see. So some kids stayed and then they just met up with us again in fifth grade.
They only stayed for fourth. Oh yeah. You had to move at fifth.
Yes.
There wasn't room at that school. There's no room at Dorschag.
But I was like, not this baby school. Okay. I'm moving on to bigger things. Good for you. It was called Mountain View Elementary.
Okay. Solid. Thanks for the update.
Barrow. What? There is so many football teams without coaches.
Do you think as it seems like every time a playoff matchup ends, a coach is like, I'm out.
Yeah. Every time a bell rings, an angel gets a swing.
Yeah. Every time a whistle blows. Every time a playoff match loses, a coach gets fired. Yeah. Yesterday, Mike Tomlin quit. He didn't even get fired. No, he stepped down. Quit. Yeah. And what was interesting is we were talking about this yesterday on the show and we were like, is he gonna end and then yeah, yesterday afternoon, boom, the news. Crazy.
Yeah. Do you think, because he didn't retire, so I wonder if he's been scouted for a different team. That's potential. And wouldn't it be crazy if he went to the Ravens?
Okay. Now, you and Beck were talking about this because Harbaugh is also out. Yeah. So you've got two inner conference. They're both AFC.
Divisional rivals. Divisional teams, right? So you've got in that division, you have Cincinnati, Cleveland. The Browns, the Bengals, the Ravens, the Steelers.
Yeah. Baltimore and Pittsburgh. And so you're saying what if Baltimore and Pittsburgh switched coaches?
Yeah. Wouldn't that be nuts?
That'd be quite the shake-up.
The fans would lose their minds. If you're a Ravens fan and you've gone your whole life hating the Steelers and then all of a sudden you get a Steelers coach, you'd be like, what? You'd be, that'd be crazy. That'd be crazy.
He didn't retire.
No, he just quit. He just stepped down. So he's still got his name on the list of like, hey, I can coach places. So that's, I think that's the ninth team now that is coachless. Is it really? Yes. That's insane. Wow. Because you've got the Dolphins, don't have a coach. The Ravens, the Steelers. Yeah, nine. I think the Jags, the Jaguars.
I can't remember. Falcons, Cardinals, Ravens, Browns, Raiders, Dolphins, Giants, Steelers, Titans.
Oh, the Raiders. I forgot the Raiders coach too.
Yeah. Tomlin could totally go to the Raiders.
Do you think he would? I don't know. I don't either. What is going to happen?
I doubt he goes to Cleveland or Baltimore. Why? Because those are the same confidence.
Divisional rivals. Yeah. They're the same division. Yeah. I don't think they're going to do it. I don't think that's going to happen. Interesting. I know. It's crazy. I wonder if this is unheard of.
Like if this is the most coaches displaced in a season. That's a good question too. Yeah. Because that seems like a lot. Nine coaches without a home. They're so lost.
I want to see in NFL history what year had the most head coach changes. Record tying coaching turnovers with 2021 and 2023 seasons saw eight head coach changes. So yes, this year would be the biggest one. 2025 saw nine teams. And as of this year, we're at nine right now.
So if any more coaches decide to roll as the playoffs go on, 2026 will be the most coaching turnover in NFL history. What a stat. Is that good? No. I mean, I feel like you want some consistency in your leadership in an organization
like what's happening at NFL individual teams. But what do I know? Listen, we talked about this before. I'm available. You're in a coach or be the mascot.
I like it. I like you as a coach because I think it'd be fun to hear you just say, hey, we're running into the pile of people go around. No, we're not wearing those uniforms.
Those look gross. I think those are your big coaching moments. Oh, yeah. And then I did like when we talked about it last time, your locker room speech was really strong. Go get him. Go get him. What a motivational moment. Hey guys, let's beat him. Wow. You know, we didn't think of that. You're right coach. Let's beat him.
I mean, I could be, you've seen Ted Lasso. Sure.
He's not, he's a football coach. I could do what he does. You could. Oh yeah.
Yeah. I'm an awkward dancer, which is much what Ted Lasso is famous for.
I don't know how that necessarily plays into your coaching, but it's important on the sideline.
When calls are made against your team, are you gonna throw the red flag? No, that's the challenge flag. Are you gonna, are you gonna get in the ref's face and then end up getting ejected from the game?
No, I can't do, I'm not that kind of a person. I'll be like, hey, buddy, hey, ref.
Listen, no, you're not. You never have ever been like, hey, buddy. Yeah, cool. Come collect it. No, you are not. When you are faced with someone taking something from you and the people you care about, which is your team, you will be a raccoon and that referee is going to be sad that he crossed you.
You're absolutely right. Actually, that's what I'm saying. If he calls something on my team that I consider unfair, I'd be like, Oh, buddy.
You're like, that was not passing interference. Now we're going to have some words. Right. This is what I want to see. This is coach C. Let's hear it. Hey, listen here, buddy.
Hey, ref, I got some Mike one and Mike two.
Oh, these are your fists? You're threatened. Don't threaten violence. I won't. I'm just gonna. Mike one and Mike two. That's hardcore. That is very, very aggressive. I know.
I think it actually would be very, very cool to see a female coach.
I agree.
They're out there. I know they are. Sure thing. Let's do it. I'm on board. Maybe some of these men could do with, I mean, it's too much testosterone. I can't even say testosterone on that field. Okay. Let's get a lady in there. Let's do it. Cool things down a bit.
I'm on board. Take over. Do it. Do the thing. That'd be awesome. Go for it.
I make some NFL history.
Mike one and Mike two. Ref, be on the lookout for this one. We have a lot of outfits for Luna. We should probably put her in a couple of them. She hates them. I understand, but today's dress up your pet day and we need to put some stuff on.
We don't need to. She hates them. She doesn't hate them. Yes, she does.
You think she hates being warm in her cozy sweater?
She doesn't like them. When you put them on, she just sits there like, I guess I can't do anything now. She doesn't like them. They keep her warm. She doesn't like them. What about her pizza head?
Or her bat wings or her lion hair main thing? Her chicken suit. Her full body chicken suit. We have a lot of outfits for the dog and it's dress up your pet day.
She does have a little old man's sweater that looks oddly familiar to what you're currently wearing. It's adorable. I think you bought that sweater for her so that you could match. The two of you could be matchies.
I don't have, it's a cooler sweater than what I am wearing. It's a very, very cool sweater. When I was in Utah with my cousin, we were doing the fishing thing. We stopped by one of those outdoor stores, a couple of different ones. We're looking around and he found a very, very cool winter puffy coat looking thing for his dog. His dogs love clothes. I know. His dogs wear clothes all day. They have pajamas they wear around the house.
They're also hairless.
That is true. They probably love having clothes because they're probably real cold. Right. But he found a very cool puffy coat for the dogs and I went, man, that's cool. It's really cool.
You have a rain jacket for Luna.
Right. She does have a rain jacket. She has a zip up coat as well.
Hates it. She forgets how to walk when she wears that.
She goes into front wheel drive. It's what you call it. Yeah, because her back end quits working.
I don't know why.
It's like it's touching her back in a weird way and it's ticklish or something. And so she's like, no, I don't like it on my back. I can't walk right. Clenches up her whole back half and then it sort of just follows low and then she's like doing this weird crawl thing. But then she gets used to it and then she's okay. It's just that first few steps that are real weird looking.
Dress up your pet day, huh? Yeah. I mean, she has a basket of clothes. I know. She's a whole basket. Every time we go to the pet store or any kind of store where they have pet clothes, Emery wants us to buy more and more and more. Because if you've seen her in clothes, it's pretty cute.
Anyway, dress up your pet today. Take a picture. Share it with us if you want on socials at Classy 97.
I love Steve. I do love pets in clothes. I just don't like to put my pet in clothes when she hates it.
What about chickens in pants?
Have you seen that? That's great. I've seen that. That is awesome. Or goats. They put goats in pants.
Have I seen goats in pants?
The chicken in pants, those are my favorite.
Chickens in pants is hilarious. Goats in clothes is really fun too. Look at goats in clothes. That one's wearing pajamas. That one's got on overalls. That one's wearing full on denim. It's pretty cute, isn't it? Goats in clothes is pretty funny. I kind of want a goat. No. No, you don't. Fine. This one's dressed like a princess. This one's in a sweater. Goats in clothes is pretty fun.
Look up goats in clothes or chickens in pants.
Chickens in pants. Yeah, both really good internet searches. Your algorithm will love it.
It's so easy these days. Was it harder before? It wasn't harder. I'm just like, compared to when we were in school. Yeah. And it was like- It was still just a phone call. I understand that. I'm not saying it was difficult back then. I just, what I'm trying to say is that it would be easy. I feel like it would be easier to skip than it was back in our day.
You do. Not that it was difficult in our day. I think it's a text notification if our kids aren't at school.
I know. So you're right.
I think there are more checks in place now that would be like, I would immediately be going, why aren't you in class? And that anytime we get it, we go, are you not in class? But I'll shoot you have to do it. And she's like, no, I'm sitting here right now.
All you should have to do is send a quick, you can just email. No one knows it's me that's emailing to an excuser. You know what I'm saying?
No, but don't talk about- I know. Cheat codes here. I know. Because then the system will get broken and harder. Please.
Kids are smarter than us. I understand. They don't need, they don't need us to say, oh, here's an idea. They've already got it figured out.
But we don't need to help that process.
I agreed. I totally agree.
But that's very interesting.
But you would never do that because you were squeaky clean.
But even still, even though you've excused her, I still get text messages that she's been marked absent. I know.
So you would still get flagged. Because I think it's probably busy at the school and they probably are running through all of the emails all day.
I'm sure, yeah, in the attendance side, because you've worked on that side at a school. So I know you know that process. But I also know that when you're in there and you're putting in your, what do they call that, your role and you say this person is absent, that triggers the system. Whether they've been marked excused absence or not, it still marks an absence and sends the notification.
No, you're right.
So you're still going to get busted is what I'm saying. You can't get around it. There's no way. That's true. You're right.
It was pretty easy back in our day.
I think it was easier. And I did it a time or two. Yeah, did you? Mm-hmm. I did not. I know you didn't. Because as you said, squeaky clean. Yeah.
Oh, I forged a note from my mom.
I didn't have to. If I was late, my mom would write the note and hand it to me. It was fine. I didn't have to forge anything. My mom was on my team.
My mom was a time or two if I was late, but there was a time or two that I was like, yeah, I'm not doing this today. I know. I told you.
I know. Shantel danger. You're trouble. My middle name is danger. No, it's not danger. It's trouble. Danger is totally different.
I never got into trouble. Like I didn't go out to do trouble.
No, you're just our trouble. I was just like, hey, with my friend, my friend Rhiannon, I would say, do you want to go to Stokes, which is the grocery store in town? And I would say it. Because no one you know in the town will be at the grocery store.
That's the same, isn't it? We had a small time. We would just go get like a donut and a soda and then we'd be like, what else is there to do?
Nothing. Go to school. And we did. It was like we would just skip first and second period. You'd skip two class periods.
And then we'd go back to get a donut. Yeah. Just buy a nut. Did you walk or did you drive? No, we didn't walk. This was high school. But there was times, oh yeah, there were times that someone would see me that I knew and I'd be like, ah, crap.
Yeah.
Busted. Why aren't you in class?
Why are you at the store buying a donut? My mom gave me permission. Yeah. See this note? That's not even your mom's handwriting or signature. Oh, please. I got so good at her signature. Get out of here.
I could forge my mom's signature for a piece. Because you did it so many times.
It was easy. She didn't make it difficult. Because you did it so many times. Dang it. Because you do it right now? Oh, 100%.
Let's see it. You're right now, you're forging on live radio. You're forging your mom's signature. Look at you. Done. I can't see it. Yeah, it's pretty close. That's actually pretty close. Every birthday card looks exactly like that. So trouble. Easy. Middle name. Danger. No, not danger. Trouble.
I just want to ask you a quick question. Sure thing. Yesterday we go home. Our daughter has not been feeling well. She's lying on the floor. She has a headache. And you decide at that very moment to get the hammer out. Hold on. Yeah, okay. And start hammering in her bedroom.
All right, listen. It's not like that.
And she looks at me and goes, why now?
Yeah. She also took some video and asked me the same question. She goes, you really have to do that right now. Listen, what happened is, as we were standing there checking on her, making sure she was okay because she wasn't feeling well, her door was squeaky. And it was like, and I was like, I can fix this. I have all of the technology. And I'd already gone through most of the house and fixed squeaky hinges with my fancy hinge oil.
Yes.
And so I thought, well, I can fix this and then it won't be an annoying thing anymore. We won't have a squeaky door. And so, yeah, I got a screwdriver and a hammer and I popped up the little hinge pins and I put in the oil and then I tapped them back down. You make it sound like I was like framing a house. I did a little bit of tapping to fix a squeak.
I left. I had to do something else. So I didn't know just how much hammering you were doing.
More than either of you felt was necessary at that moment.
I just know that when I was checking on her, checking her temperature, yada yada asking questions, you're over there with the door going, brrr.
I had to fix it. It was not good.
And then I hear, I gotta go get a hammer. Yeah. Okay. Right now. This is excellent timing.
Hey, no more squeaky door. If I don't fix it now, I won't get to it. That's true. And then we would still have a squeaky door. But now we don't. See?
Good job. I guess. Thanks.
Plus what is a headache if it doesn't have some hammering happening nearby? What good is it? If you're going to have a headache, you might as well have somebody hammering nearby. You're right. It just, it makes everything better. You're right.
You know? I do. I do know. What is the video that she took?
Me hammering.
I don't have it. Oh, she didn't send it to you?
No. I don't know if she like just posted it on her story. I don't know what she did with it. If it's just in her phone, but she filmed me hammering and said, you gotta do this right now. It's fixed. No more squeaky door. Watch this. And I, and no noise. None. And I went, that's awesome. That was awesome. And then I put my tools away.
I actually noticed because you did not too long ago go through the house and fix all the squeaky doors. And this morning I remembered that you had done that because I had woken up pretty early and I opened the door expecting a squeak. And I went, Hey, that's something special.
I tried to keep up on stuff like that right away. If I know there's a squeaky door hinge, I'm on it. Look at my face right now. I fixed the hinges right away. Cause I don't like a squeaky door. Now that I have the stuff, it was several years that I didn't have the right oil,
but now I have my face is registering like, come on, bro, because the only reason that you fixed the squeaky doors is because I asked you to do it now. We've lived in that house for 14 years. And it was only a couple of weeks ago that you fixed the squeaky doors.
No, that was in like late, late summer, early fall this last year. Okay. Couple months. That's not a couple of days or weeks. It's been, it's been multitude of weeks.
Point is you only did it because I asked you to. What now?
I had to research oils to find out which one's best.
Oh, I'm sorry. Was that troublesome?
No, I learned a little bit. Oh, you'll research. About viscosities.
Just get some WD-40.
No. Why? What is WD-40? I don't know. What does WD stand for? Water displacement. Are the hinges getting wet? Negative.
I actually like not know that that's what that stood for.
Wrong kind of lubricant. Wrong.
How come everyone always says to use that on squeaky doors then?
Because they have it kicking around because it's like $2 a can. Plus it stinks. That's true. Do you smell the oil I used? No. No. Because I got the right stuff. What kind of oil did you get? It's a three and one. It's very good. It's very good. It's made for incredible squeak removal.
I am impressed actually now. I also didn't know that WD-40. Was water displacement? So what do you use it for? WD-40? Bike chains.
That's about it. Interesting. Look, it'll loosen. If you got a rusty bolt, it'll help loosen that. It'll do some stuff. It's good for, it has its uses. I have WD-40 in the garage. Everyone does. But I'm not using it for hinges. Okay.
I would have.
Plus, you don't have a lot of control with that spray. This has a little tiny little lid and a little drop. Boop. And then that's it. No more squeak. It's awesome. I will have that one bottle of three and one forever. How much did it cost? I don't know. $5? It wasn't super expensive.
Compared to WD-40 it is.
Plus, you buy WD-40 in like a three pack of cans you have forever. Hand those down. Generationally. Here, here's my WD-40 collection. All right. Thank you. Grandpa, I appreciate it. I was really looking forward to having all this WD-40 in my garage for the rest of my life.
I have so much water displacement. Yeah.
WD-40. I learned something. Did you? Nice. What was it?
That you don't use WD-40 for door close.
I mean, you can and people do, but there's better options. Do the research. Get some three in one. It'll change your life.
I don't know how we got started on the conversation last night, but we over dinner were talking about umbilical cords.
Yeah, I don't remember how that happened either.
Which is not a great topic to be discussing over dinner.
But specifically, we were talking about belly buttons. Yes. That was more so the conversation.
That's how it began. And I said, dogs have a belly button too. And you said, no, they don't. And I said, yeah, because they had an umbilical cord. And then you went, what? And then it was a bunch of research about dog belly buttons.
That was really what happened. This is what happens at our house in the kitchen where we're all kind of hanging out. We just try to do research about dog belly buttons like, you know, normal stuff, normal everyday stuff. I think that you think should be common knowledge. And maybe it is to a lot of people.
Well, I knew that dogs had a belly button. And you were not on board with that.
Well, obviously they do. But then I went, how? What? How?
And then you were concerned about how the umbilical cord got cut and what happened and how it all went down. And that's when it got pretty gross. Yeah.
There's a lot of information out there that's pretty gross.
Right. Unpleasant. But as far as, it was actually, we found out that mammals are not necessarily determined by how they're born or whether they, what was the verbage, something to the fact of like it's all about whether or not they have like a mother milk thing. Correct. More than if they have the way they're born or whatever.
Yes. Yep. Because you can be a mammal and deliver a baby via egg. Platypus. Yep. True. And marsupials that are mammals?
Right. Which they, that was an interesting fact too. Marsupials will give birth prematurely. So they have a shorter gestation period. But then they have a pouch. So koalas and kangaroos and wallabies and the like have a pouch where the baby continues to grow before it leaves the pouch. Correct. Yeah. Isn't that interesting?
Interesting stuff. And then we tried to find Luna's belly button.
Yeah. As you do, listen, as you, you know, when you talk about dog belly buttons, you got to find it. And it's mid belly.
I think, you know, I think the conversation started because there was a game that I made up where you have somebody that you know and trust just stand there and then another person that you know and trust will just take a finger and try and find it.
Try to poke you in the belly button.
I hate the game. You get one shot.
I hate it. And you tried to do it and I swatted your hand away.
But that's not how, that's not the rules.
And I said, and I said, poke the dog's belly button and you said, dogs don't have a belly button and off we went. That's what happens at our house in the kitchen.
Yeah. Yep. And then I had a whole discussion with Emory about a baby umbilical cord and how you have to wait for it to dry. Dry and fall off.
Yuck. Yuck. That thing. Disgusting. So yeah, anyway, now we know about that. Yeah.
Look at us learning stuff.
We did do research. That was, that was impressive because if you're going to just talk about something, you should probably find out the information that you're trying to talk about. Yeah. And now we know. And now we know. Look at all the things we learned about marsupials and mammals and platypus and dog belly buttons. Ain't that something?
What's the plural of a platypus? Is it platypuses?
I don't know. Platypie?
No way. I think it's probably just like platypus. No.
It's platypie. We got to herd. What is a, what do you call a group of, of platypie? That's a better question.
It's platypuses. Okay. How about that? The technically correct plural form is from the Greek roots. It's not platypie. Platypods. Platypodes.
Oh, a platypod. That could be what you call a group of platypie. It's a platypod.
A platypie is technically incorrect.
Okay. I like it better though.
A platypus is just also accepted like sheep or de-mousse. Or moose or geese.
There it is. Geese. Well done. All right. I saw a video yesterday and I think you're going to dig it because it involves two things that you enjoy. One, getting rid of clutter. And two, leaving it at other people's houses. Oh yeah.
You sent me this video and I think it's awesome.
I think it's so funny. It's the greatest thing ever. It is. Like I got to get rid of this thing at my house. So anytime you go to somebody else's house, you take like a basket of stuff and you just decorate their house with it. And then you get rid of the clutter in your house and then they go, where did we get that vase? I don't remember that. And you're like, I used to have one just like it, you could say. And they'd be like, weird. I don't remember. I forget that.
I think it's hilarious.
I think it's very funny. And a great idea. Yeah. And we can do this with my sister because she doesn't listen. I know. Her son does. So, Caden. Don't tell your mom that we're going to start decluttering our stuff into her house.
She has a very specific taste and style. So the second she sees something that she knows doesn't belong, she's going to be like, what is this? Where did this come from?
Yeah, but that'll be a long time down the road because as long as no one tells her that it's happened, she'll never know.
She used to have, and this made me sad and I meant to ask her about it and I forgot, she used to have a little board in her bathroom. Yeah.
That had words.
That had words. And I can't remember the initial message that she had written there.
But every time somebody goes in the bathroom, they'd change it.
We rearranged it. Like I think the first time we went in there and said something like, take a seat. It was something just normal that you'd see in a bathroom.
But then people rearranged it and said something about a steak for a while. I don't even remember. It was just a mess. Whatever you could rearrange the letters on the board to say, people did. We stayed there for Christmas and it was missing from the bathroom.
She removed it. Which means, but she also redid that, she remodeled that whole bathroom.
And that makes me sad because what am I supposed to rearrange?
Right. We need more words. Give us more words. Get the fridge magnet poetry set or something.
Did you take it out of the bathroom because we were fiddling with it so much and you got annoyed?
I think she probably rearranged. When she remodeled, she went, I'm redecorating. That made me sad. Yeah. And I bet she just threw it away. Because I've been at her house and if you set down your plate for longer than about 35 seconds, it's in the garbage. Oh, it's gone.
So you got to really keep an eye on stuff that you want to hang on to because it will be cleaned up. Where'd my cup go? Oh, I washed it. Well, I'll get a new cup then.
Okay. I think this is a brilliant idea though and we're going to do it. You just have to remind me.
So just put together a basket of stuff and then whenever we travel to someone's house, remember the basket. And then you just grab a few things and you go, I'll leave this here. And I'm going to put this here. Hilarious. Yeah. Because then you don't have to feel like I just gave it away. Like now you're having a little bit of fun with your decluttering by cluttering other people's spaces.
For sure. Hey, listen, I have a stack of books. I could just put some in our bookshelf.
That's what I'm saying. You just start. She'll never know. She won't. She's like, why? That doesn't match my color scheme. I've got these organized by color. But you know what she does have? She has a few books that she's got facing the wrong way on the shelf like we don't like. She does not. There's a couple on the bottom shelf. Okay.
They're like specifically designed to be facing the wrong way. Okay. They're like, these are books I don't care about. I don't want to see the spine. Just put them there. She'll never know. They're facing the wrong way. She'll never know.
Boom. Books. Done. Done. I love it. Right.
Decluttered. Check. The fine folks in Denmark where Lego is made have decided they want to put out some new Lego. Okay. So they are putting out their first ever Pokemon sets.
Hey. Pokemon is huge. Insanely popular ever since it first came out and has only grown in popularity, I would say as of late to the point of like you can't find cards. There's a bunch of scalping problems like Pokemon is incredibly popular right now. Yeah.
We were trying to find some for Christmas present.
It took a minute. But Lego's first Pokemon sets have been unveiled and they have five. Is it five sets? Now I'm trying to see how many they're going to do. Anyway, the Pokemon turns 30 next month. And so the sets are going to debut on February 27th in coordination with the 30th anniversary of Pokemon. And they are kind of a big range of pieces from 600 pieces all the way up to 6,800 piece sets and the smaller sets are about 60 bucks. The bigger sets, $650. So get ready to spend some cash on Pokemon logo Legos.
I'm not. Not you. Not me. You said get ready to spend some cash.
You, the general you, as in the listener, you get ready to spend big dollars on Pokemon Lego.
I just did a Google search because I wanted to see if Pokemon Go was still a thing.
Oh, yes, it is. It is. Preorders are live right now. So if you want to get in on, you know, getting your hands on them first, you can. I do like the one that they made with the three starters. I think that's a cool set that's got your favorite Charizard.
I don't know anything about Charizard. I just when our kids were younger and used to play Pokemon, I used to call it Pokemon,
which would drive them crazy for one. And then everyone was Charizard. Charizard. I don't even know it's actual. There's an Eevee and a Pikachu standalone sets. Those are really cool. The starter set is cool. It's the starter evolution display. It is 6,838 pieces. It has poseable models of the starters, final evolutions, as well as a themed base that lets you compose them in an environment befitting of their typing. So if you want to do a water one or a fire one, you can.
I used to. Oh, man. I'm sure my kids. I'm sorry. I got to apologize to my kids.
You do? Because you do things to annoy people on purpose. Is that why they're launching with the three first sets?
Because I used to when they were into Pokemon, Pokemon is what I'd call it. And they get so mad. And then I would just make up names. And so I'd be like, Hey, do you have any SARS gar in that pack?
SARS gar. I just made names up. And they'd be like, that's not a thing. Right. Sorry, kids. I'm really annoying. Okay, hold on. Let's go back to Pokemon Go for a minute because the game I helped build.
I was gonna sigh.
I was gonna. Tell me how you helped build it, Josh.
So there was a game called Ingress. And I got really super into Ingress when it first came out. And I don't even know if Ingress is still around. Let's look it up.
I don't see it. But Ingress was a really fun alternate reality game that was across the entire world. And it was essentially there were two teams, a green team and a blue team.
And the goal is to bad versus good.
Right. Well, not necessarily. It's just team A versus team B. Okay. And the goal is global domination. And so you would work together with your team to draw lines between points of interest that were physical in the world. And I ended up building a whole bunch of points of interest around East Idaho.
A lot of them. Because that was really fun for me. And it's like landmarks. It's statues. It's public places.
It's art. It's all kinds of different stuff out in the real world that you would make into points of interest for Ingress so that people could link and draw big giant triangles across the globe. And then Pokemon Go decided to use all of that information for Pokey Gyms and all of the places that you could battle and find Pokemon. All of the work I did for Ingress, Niantic was like, we're just going to put Pokemon Go right on top of that. They did the same thing with the Harry Potter game.
It was the same thing. Wasn't there a Harry Potter one too?
Yep. And they did the same thing. Anything they just lay over Niantic's map in the alternate reality stuff. I had a big hand in building because I was really super into Ingress for a while. Yeah, you were. So you're welcome, Pokemon Go players, for all of my work that no one ever gave me credit for. Stop. Google.
Stop it.
Google never sent me a check. They never said, hey, thanks for all that work.
You were not the only one out there doing.
No, I understand. I get it. But I did a lot of it. And then when I pulled up Pokemon Go and I went, what? Because it's the same pictures. It was the pictures I uploaded for Ingress.
Yeah. That are now showing up as gyms for Pokemon Go. And I went, this is ridiculous. Niantic, you're ridiculous. I have no idea what you're talking about.
That's fine. It is fine. People that know know. And I'm one of them. You're welcome.
Do you consider it rude when somebody doesn't text you back right away?
No, because if I did, I'd be a complete contradiction to myself. You absolutely would. So no, I can't consider that to be rude because I am no good at texting back like right away.
You are not. That's true. And I know it. And I also am not because here's what happens to me. I'll get a text and then not always, but sometimes I'll get distracted or I'll get like something will happen at work if it happens at work. And then once it's opened out of sight, out of mind, I've forgotten all about that text for sure.
Until like sometimes the next day and I go, I never responded to that. And then I go, I'm so sorry. I forgot to respond to this. And that feels like I'm making up excuses, but I really not because my brain is gets so distracted that I'm like, I, I forgot that I even opened that. Here's what happens to me is I'll get a text message. This happened yesterday. I got a text message.
I didn't get a chance to look at it because I was busy. And so I knew that it came in, but I don't regularly go back in and check my notifications or texts. I'll swipe them away. And then I won't go back in. And then when I go back into my text messages, I've got like six conversations that I haven't replied to. And then I go like, Oh, well, I probably should catch up and see what's been going on because I don't like, I just try to clear out the notifications and then I don't do anything about it. So yesterday I'm at the scout meeting and I'm having a face to face conversation. And one of the people who had texted me said, Hey, did you get my text messages? And I said, uh, I don't know. Let me look.
And I opened up my phone on red text messages and I went, yeah, I did. Sorry. I didn't reply. Was it important? Not like life or death important, but it was
like, you needed to make some decisions. I needed to provide some feedback in a more timely manner because now we're at the meeting and the information was needed before the meeting started.
But, oh, well, we got through it. It's okay. So no, that was definitely, that's bad on me, but I do it every day. Like right now I have text messages because I have the little dot. I have three conversations I haven't replied to. Why don't you respond to that? I haven't had time.
I've been busy. I don't look at my phone like that. I don't look and go, Oh, I got a text message like every minute. If you need me, call me. I will answer the phone. I will talk to you. That's way better.
You do answer your phone. I will say that about you. If you need to get a hold of Josh, call him because he will answer.
Right. That's how I communicate.
He's not great at texting. I'm terrible at texting. I hate it. I am complete opposite. I know that. I'm pretty okay at texting.
I don't like when I text. But I will not answer the phone. When I text you and I see you read it or you haven't read it and I'm like, I could have called you and had this answer four days ago.
Like why am I waiting for someone to read and reply? I'm going to call you. I'm going to get the information. I'm going to move on. I hate waiting around like that.
You were on your way home last night. You had a meeting and then you were going to stop at the store and get some things for Emery. Correct. You knew what you had to do, but you called me and I told Emery, I go, why is he calling? He knows, I don't understand why he's calling me
because I needed to know if there was anything else that I needed to get.
No, I would have texted you if there were. Come on now. I would have.
You texted me. I was driving.
I called you because I don't text and drive. I call and then I'll talk to you. Emery and I were watching a movie on the couch and I said, why is he calling? I don't. And I said, hello.
Yeah, I know. I heard the tone. Why are you, why am I talking right now? I could be texting.
Don't call. I hate and I hate talking on the phone. I always have, even as a teenager, I hated it.
I talked on the phone for hours. I don't like it. Hours and hours.
I like to talk to people in person because I like to see expressions and I like to look at their face, but I don't. There's something about talking on the phone with somebody. I don't, I don't like it because I think I play off visual cues. Okay. And if I can't see your visual cue, then I don't, I don't know how to take the exchange. It does not make sense.
No, because when you read a text, you put it in your own tone and then you interpret it however you want. So no, that makes no sense. At least in a voice, you can hear inflection.
You can hear what the emphasis is, but you get none of that in a text outside of the way you read it, the way you interpret it, which is way more comfortable for you, I guess. I guess. Ugh, yuck. No way. I will talk to you on the phone.
I may not answer. You sometimes don't. And then I call back and you go, what? And I go, answer the phone so I can ask you this four second question. I already texted it to you. Read your text.
How would you like to do a little bit of the, uh, or would you rather? Yeah, it's a fun one today. Okay.
Would you, excuse me, would you rather always pick the movie or always pick the restaurant? Hmm. I would rather always pick the movie.
You would. Yep. Yeah, that checks out. That's on brand. That's why you always have the remote. I don't like what you pick. I know.
But I always, not always, but I'm, I'm pretty easy going when it comes to the food that I'll eat. So I'll find something that I'll like at most places.
I would agree with that. You're definitely the picker of the entertainment. Why is that? Cause I pick better choices. I don't know if that's true. It is. Settle down. Why do you think that that's a thing?
You picked something last night. I understand. I don't really want this.
Right. You said, oh, you said, but I'll give it a shot. I said, I'll give it a shot. And then you said, I'm really not into this. And I said, okay. And I turned it off.
I gave it a pretty good shot. You have to admit. I understand. It was supposed to be a comedy, neither one of us.
I understand. And I said, okay, I guess a whole bunch, like they would make a joke and I go, okay, I guess. Like I shouldn't have to say that about your comedy. Like I shouldn't be like, okay. I guess. Like if you're trying to make that a funny joke, I guess people might think it's funny. I don't, but okay.
I didn't. Yeah. I was not entertained.
I understand. So that's why I turned it off. But that's not always the case. Sometimes I pick a show and you will say, and then I'll be like, just chill out. And then you watch it a little while and you're like, actually, that was pretty good. And now I'm going to go deep dive about the thing I learned in this show. Like I like to watch how it's made. Great show. You don't like the narrator's voice.
I think it's fascinating to learn how things are made, but the narrator's voice is very boring today on how it's made. It's boring. Like he could jazz it up a little bit and make it more exciting. Yeah. Blenders. I don't like the way he narrates.
Coffee mugs. Like he just says stuff.
I know. And I'm fascinated by how that stuff is made.
The worker extrudes the clay from. Extrudes? Yeah. Those are factory words.
Oh, oh. Yeah.
I like that show, but you don't like it.
I'm going to pick the movie.
Yeah. Well, then I guess I'm picking the food.
You don't have to. Which are you going to pick?
I don't get to pick the show. So I'll pick the food. It's fine.
I was just watching a video and there was an elderly woman who was drinking a milkshake and she was, you know, how when you get to the bottom of your milkshake and there's still a little remnant. Yeah. She was doing that. And then the people around her were kind of laughing and she said, oh, I'm sorry. And she goes, I know I'm not supposed to do that, but why am I not supposed to do that? And everybody around her was like, it drives me nuts. Yeah, but.
That's my problem. I understand.
I, because I do that. It drives me nuts. I get every last drop of my milk.
I know, but I also know that when other people do that kind of stuff or like have a spoon and keep scraping at their little pudding thing or whatever, like it drives you crazy. Yeah. But again, it's a, you, I understand. I get it.
But I'm also like, why is that considered? Like, I know that it's annoying to some people, but you paid for it or you made it on of the two.
Might as well get every last drop. Yeah, exactly. But at some point you got to give up. And I think the point at which you give up on getting the last drop varies depending on who you are. Agreed. Like I'm not, I know you are like a, it's so good. I don't want to not taste it anymore. I'm going to get every little bit out of this thing.
Yeah. When you have leftovers with a sauce you love, you scrape the sauce off the plate onto your to go food. You're very a last drop kind of lady.
And then if there's a little bit left on the plate and there's a bread or something, that plate is Kaleen before it leaves the table. Why are you trying to steal my joy? Not stealing your joy. I'm saying you're a get every last drop kind of lady. Correct. Where I'm like, that's enough. Yeah.
No, that's 100%. I accurate description of the two of us.
Right. We are how three times now this show, we've realized how opposite we are. There are so many different things. Yeah, there was another one. Okay. But the point is that like between the texting and calling and then the the movies versus the the foods and then this, there's there's been a few instances today where it's it's begged the question like, how are we together? Because all we do is I mean, I love it. I think it's great. I enjoy your company. I'm not saying why are we together?
I'm saying how I don't necessarily think we have so much opposites that it's
no, but they say that attracts though, too. Paul Abdul said it best. Did she? Yep. In her song opposites attract with the cartoon cat. That's right. Yeah. No, I know two steps forward, two steps back and all that or however many steps in one direction. I don't remember. There were many steps.
And you know, right? What were we even? Oh, yeah. No, I'm a everything last drop. Yeah.
For sure. And I will go. I've had enough of that. I'll put that down now.
I don't say can I have it then?
And I'll say there's nothing left and you go, yes, there is. There's good sauce in there. And I know there's not like you're not taking all your sauce. No. Did you get it all? That's what happens. Regular conversations. And I go, still trying to get some out of that, huh? And it's like you don't even realize you've been doing it for a minutes. And I realize I go, hey, hey, hey, it's empty. It's gone. Yeah. No, there's still some in there. All right.
Stop trying to steal my joy.
I'm not. You do you. I am and I will. I know. I'm aware. Knowing you a lot of years. Should we get one last drop out of this show or do you got like you want to go?
Now, I think I'm, I think we've squeezed all we can squeeze. All right. I've had enough. Yeah.
I'm good to go. So whenever you're ready. I'm done. All right. Sounds great. Have a great rest of your Wednesday. We'll be back tomorrow morning. We're already halfway through the week. How about them apples? You know what else we are halfway through the month? Holy. I know. That's insane. I know how that happened.
I don't know. Crazy.
Ca-razy is right. All right. Okay. Have a good day. Bye. We'll see you tomorrow. Later.
