Full show transcript:
And here we are at the beginning of the podcast episode 400 million. I don't know. We're well over 400 episodes.
La-de-da. I know. Pretty cool. Thanks for being a part of our show and listening whenever you can on demand or if you listen live when we're making the show, that's awesome too. We appreciate it. We do appreciate it. We appreciate anybody listening.
And if you want to reach out to the show, wake up Classy97 at gmail.com. Hey, there is a guy that I watch on TikTok and he's called Spudlad. Spudlad. He is from Liverpool and he has a food truck and it's just a potato truck. Is he Spudlad Dan? That's his name. His name is Dan. Did you know that?
I did not know that. Yeah, Spudlad Dan. He has what they call jacket spuds and basically it's a baked potato and then he just like people just come and ask what they want.
Yeah, it's a food truck. That's typically how it works. He usually like opens it up and says like come on up and order some stuff and you're telling me people do that? People walk up to his truck and order stuff? Yeah.
No, so he's got curry, he's got pulled pork, he's got beans. I mean it's, I don't know, I don't know what about it. It's just the food looks good and the way that he is with his customers is just charming and he's got this cute little accent and it's just charming. Well, I can tell you what he looks like.
Oh, I don't think I want to know. Because you're watching him on TikTok, which is short little clips. He has 25 minutes, 16 minutes, 25 minute long videos on YouTube.
He has a YouTube channel where you can go watch Spudlad Dan serving spuds to a nonstop queue or this one is nonstop serving spuds for 15 minutes. Is it the same one person? Yes. I don't know if it is. Is the truck look the same?
I don't know, it's like a little high lux. It's a pickup truck pulling a silver trailer. Hmm.
I'll have to look and see. Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is him. So I finally was like, okay, well I'm not going to get out to Liverpool anytime soon, but I do have potatoes. That's correct. So I can make this myself. So I was pretty excited about it. I was like, I want to have a baked potato with some curry on it. I'm going to be like the Spudlad.
Oh, and he puts crispy onions on top. So we got all the ingredients and for dinner last night we baked potatoes, which took a little longer than I expected to bake a potato. It takes some time.
It takes so much. It took like an hour to bake a potato. And then we had all the fixings. I made a curry, we had melted cheddar cheese, we had the crispy onions, we had all this stuff. I mean, bacon. I cut up green onion. Like I had like all the stuff you could want on a baked potato. We had all this laid out. Everybody got their baked potatoes.
I don't like the skins. So I skinned my potatoes and put them in there and then mushed them up and then put the curry on top. And I'm going to tell you it was really good. It was a hearty meal.
Yeah. And you felt like you didn't have enough sauce. I didn't have enough sauce. Right. It was too much potato.
Okay. Not enough curry. Well, and listen, these are Idaho potatoes we're using. I wonder what kind of potatoes he's using when he does his thing. I think the general consensus from all of our family was that's a lot of potato. It is a lot of potato. We did two baked potatoes each, which might have been too much. It's too much potato. Not enough curry. It was fine.
It wasn't what I was expecting. Make plans to go to Liverpool. We'll have it there. Okay. Great.
That's the plan. Spudlad Dan. We're going to go visit Spudlad and see what's up. No, but hey, Spudlad. What's up? Hey, buddy. Hey, if you're listening because you get tagged in our podcast or whatever. Good job on the Spuds, my guy. Dude, I want one of your Spuds so bad.
Yeah. They look so good. Garlic butter and all that. Come on. We got to get over there.
We got to eat some Spudlad. Okay. All right. How about we start today's show? Let's do it. Happy Presidents Day.
That's right. What's up on Presidents Day? I don't have to work at my other job. Nice. Nice for you. I know.
If you get Presidents Day off today, high five to you. Yeah. Good for you. It is good for me.
Thank you. I got like a full day of work and meetings and like all the usual stuff. And there were times like you worked in the school system for a long time. And all those years you'd get a week of spring break and you'd get a couple weeks around Christmas time.
Yeah, it was awesome. And then I'd be like, what is the deal with having a real, not a real job. That sounds rude. Teachers and you deserve the break. But I'm going to say what's the deal with having a real job?
I don't mean it in a degrading way. I mean it in a, why do I have to work all the time? Talk to your boss. Yeah, why can't I be on that kind of schedule? I don't get that schedule anymore. I don't know why I ever left that schedule.
That was a good schedule. Yeah, I understand. Spring breaks off, Thanksgiving break off, Christmas break off, summer's off. And what did I do?
Depending on what school district you're in, sometimes you get... Harvest break. Spud harvest. Yeah.
Man, oh man. You're supposed to work during that break. What? You're supposed to work on the field?
Oh. You're supposed to work, spud harvest? No, I don't want to.
That's why the time off? I don't want to do that. No? No.
You don't want to go sort potatoes? I will say I was just thinking about what I used to do as my time off when I had the time off. And what'd you do? I can't even remember. I think I just wasted it. Wasted? Yeah.
Wasted those breaks. That's a shame. Yeah, it is a shame. Anyway. Well, happy President's Day.
Same to you, buddy. I'm just going to be busy all day. That's my whole day.
I get to go home after this and hang out with the kids. I know. I looked at my calendar and went, ugh. Ugh. What's all that? That's my life. We're here. Good morning.
Happy Monday. Well, here is something that was sort of unexpected, I think, a side effect of the GLP-1s, the Osempics. Oh, yeah? You know, that everybody's taken. Yeah. Apparently.
Apparently, it can also protect your vision as you age. Oh, really? Yeah, that's what they found out. They found out that more than 90,000 adults over 55 who did not have diabetes that were on GLP-1 medication for weight loss, half were on other weight loss drugs. So, some were on GLP-1, others were on the other ones. And they found that those on the GLP-1s had a dramatically lower risk of developing dry age-related macular generation, which is the leading cause of vision loss in older adults. After five years, the risk was 84% lower.
It dropped to 91% lower after 10 years. Huh, okay. Isn't that interesting?
Well, it makes you thin and helps your eyesight. Yeah. I'm saying doctor.
Oh, is that right? Now, again, these results only apply to people without diabetes. Researchers suspect the reduction of inflammation may play a role, and early evidence hints that GLP-1s might also lower the risk of cataracts, but they caution that it's far too soon to use these medications to prevent eye disease.
Okay. But that's an interesting thing that has happened as a side effect of GLP-1s. A nice side effect. You don't hear too many nice side effects about stuff. Yeah.
That is true. I wonder what's going on on the internals of the body that's making that a thing. I don't know, but it doesn't help with patients with diabetes? That's right. Why? I don't know.
Fascinating. Maybe there's something else going on in there, some other battle it's fighting? I don't know. Hmm. Yeah.
Interesting. I might have to take some of those. I was going to go take some GLP-1s real quick. Just to work on my eyesight. My eyesight and my Majetan's eyes. You'll do anything to not have to wear glasses again, huh? Yeah, I pulled out my old glasses yesterday. That's right.
We were cleaning up the garage. I kind of risk wearing glasses. Yeah, they look cute. I put them on and I went, no, I don't. But you look cute. I hated wearing glasses.
Thank you. I had some cute pairs of glasses. I wear readers often now so I can see up close. You do. You carry them with you now. I have multiple pairs in different places. I have a pair in the bedroom. I have a pair on my fly tying bench and I have a pair here.
So when I'm reading, when I'm tying flies and when I'm working, I can see things up close. That's important. I was surprised to see you with them at the restaurant the other day when I met you. I had to be able to see. And you were using them to read the menu?
Because I know, here's what I know about menus and restaurants. Dim lighting. And it's hard to see.
I'm just telling you. And I'm absolutely not going to turn on my flashlight on my phone to read a menu. Properly light a restaurant. Why don't you want to turn on your phone to read the menu? Turn on my flashlight?
Yeah. Because I'm not 80 yet. But if it's going to help you see the menu.
Oh, okay. If you, if you wearing cheaters is going to help you see stuff up close. Where are the cheaters? Okay.
Did the cheaters, even if it's in dim lighting? Okay. Yeah, but I'm not doing the combo.
You imagine that? Throw these on. Throw your readers out and get your flashlight on. Yeah.
And then forget that I turned on my flashlight and then turn them off. Yeah, come on now. How old are you? Exactly. Old enough. Ridiculous. But that's my life. You know, my eye doctor keeps telling me they've got these drops. Yeah. I can put in and then I won't have to use the readers. It'll still let me have my far away vision, but for several hours, I'll be able to read up close with these eye drops. I know.
I probably need to get some of that. You've been saying that you need to comment. Yeah, because it would be really convenient when I'm, when I'm out fishing. Oh, yeah.
Because here's what happens. I've got to have my sunglasses, my polarized sunglasses. So I can see through the water. And then when I go to tie something on, I got to take those off, put my readers on, do my thing, take my readers off, put my polarized ones back on, then go fishing again. It's a nightmare. And then I got like 600 things hanging around my neck. It's crazy.
Don't lose anything in the water. Yeah, I got to talk to him. Yeah, you can check it out and then let me know if it works and then I'll check it out. You try the GOP ones. I'll try the drops. Great. Sounds like a plan.
Let's head off to Florida for some good news today. How about, okay, sounds nice, right? Sure.
All right. What do you suppose a rescue team that is comprised of here's, here's all these people, fire rescue, wildlife officials, and a local towing company. What do you think they rescued? Some kind of animal.
In Melbourne Beach, Florida. Well, yeah, because they had a wildlife official. A large Florida animal. Crocodile.
I'd argue bigger. What other animals are in Florida? Is this a natural resident of Florida?
Yes, 410 pounds. I don't know. A manatee. A manatee?
Mm-hmm. What is manatee doing? Being huge. It's a huge manatee. Oh, the huge manatee.
410 pound manatee was rescued from a storm drain. Oh, no. In Melbourne Beach, Florida. They had to put together this huge team, including fire rescue people, wildlife officials, and a local towing company to carefully hoist the massive sea cow. Don't say massive. That's what they're called. It's 410 pound massive sea cow. That's normal. Out of the drain.
A city worker was doing a routine survey and found the lost manatee who had gotten stuck searching for warmer waters because they just kind of sea cowed their way around trying to find. You know how like we've got on-ground cattle that move around grazing. Yes.
It's like that, but in the water. And they're big. Yeah.
410 pounds. This one? Yeah, this one was a beast. No.
So, yes. Stop fat-shaming that manatee. I'm not fat-shaming a manatee.
The rescue team had a pretty dramatic rescue here. They delivered the manatee to SeaWorld Orlando where he's already moving independently and showing a healthy interest in snacks because he's 410 pound sea cow. Bro, I'm a manatee.
No, you are not. SeaWorld experts are keeping a close eye on him. In a special medical pool, they have a goal of getting him healthy enough to return to the wild soon. So, that's the goal with the 410 pound manatee. I love that.
I'm already interested in snacks. Yeah. I mean, what do you do if you're the city worker and you go pop a manhole cover and there's a manatee in there?
I don't know. A lot of people would just close the lid and say that's not my problem. I'll wait for somebody else to find that. I guess you call your cohorts and say, hey, we got an issue.
And then you... What's the issue? A massive sea cow. It's definitely massive.
Just say a sea cow. It's so weird looking. That's rude. Have you seen a manatee? I actually have not. You gotta look and see what they look like. Well, it's kind of like a walricy looking fella. He's got two, like, give you a hug style arms.
Okay. And then like a beaver tail. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I've seen them. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They kind of look sad, don't they? It does look a little bit depressed, but it's because people keep calling him massive.
Exactly. I'm not massive. I'm appropriate.
This is just what I look like. Why does he talk all slow? He doesn't have to talk slow.
He could talk just normal. Anyway, I'm happy the manatee has been rescued. It's a big deal.
Yes. Good job. Good job, team. Good job, team. Team what?
I don't know. I was waiting for you to say something original that wasn't repeating exactly what I just said. I was like, I'm not going to come up with something, but it's too early. My brain isn't.
I can't. It's good news. You were leaving the other day. You were in your truck and you said, hey, Chantel, you called me on the phone. Yeah. You were still in front of our house.
That's right. And you said, hey, you got to come out here and check this out. It was important. Well, and I was hoping you would just hurry and look out the window or the door and be able to see, but it took you took too long to answer. And, and then by the time you had come outside, I was like, you got to come out. You got to just come out and see and come out to the truck. And there is in our neighborhood a metal detecting crew. And I needed you to know and you went, what?
They're going to find all the good treasure. There were three young people. Yeah.
Three. Were they all boys? I think so. Yeah. Well, there were two with, with detectors. Okay. But there were other people around. Yeah.
Okay. And they looked to be what, like 10, 10 years old? No, older than that. You think? Yeah.
12, 13, something like that. Okay. Yeah. And they were going around the canal by our house.
That's right. With their metal detectors. They looked like they meant business. There's going to be good treasure. I know there is.
Now here's the thing. Like right now is a good time. I'd get down in the canal.
I would too. Because that's where the good stuff is. And there hasn't filled up with water yet.
That's right. I think maybe they were just trying to find a way down. Oh, I, there's an easy way down.
Is there? Oh yeah. The dog found the easy way down. The dog has four legs. I understand, but we had to go get her out of there. She got out one time and we found her wandering the canal. Anyway, yeah, there's a metal detector club in the, in the hood. Hmm. I got some competition. I got some neighborhood competition. They're going to find all the good stuff.
You just got to get your detector. You know how to look better. Yeah. I have more patience than they do.
Right. They're going to go, okay, I'm bored. And they're going to go, I didn't find anything.
I'm going to go home. And they're probably swinging their metal detectors too quickly. They're doing like a. Yeah. You got to slow that roll. You got to go. Boo boo boo boo boo.
There it goes. It doesn't always beep. Oh, it doesn't know it only beeps when you find metal. That's right. I get it. Metal detecting club.
Yeah. Maybe you started up and you go, come on, fellas, let's find some goodies. And you like, look, I found a civil war donut or whatever. I don't know. A civil war donut. Yeah. What's that? I don't know.
We didn't have the civil war on this part of the country. So you're not going to find that kind of stuff. No.
Unless it's transported over here from ancestors. Interesting. No, I'm going to find something. You just wait and see. I can't even, I can't even tell you. Okay. All right.
But I am excited. I should, I need to find those kids and ask them if they found anything. Do you think they did? No.
You don't? No. Okay.
Here's what I'm telling you. I think they got bored too quickly. I think they weren't looking, they weren't waving their metal detectors slowly enough. I think they were going too fast and I don't think they found anything. Or they found all of the good stuff. Yeah. And there's no good stuff left. Yeah.
That's probably what happened. Save some stuff for me. Save some stuff and now there's no stuff left for you.
Rockin' kids. Join the club. Get out there. Be the shoveler for now. No. No, I'm not going to be the shoveler. You get, you can start splitting the profits.
Everything we find, I get a 50% and you guys get 25 each. See? That's not a bad idea. Because I'm doing the digging. And if you're digging, you could be like, oh, there's nothing in here. And then go back later.
You're going to steal from the kids. Good job. Good job. I had to terrible night's sleep. Thanks for asking. Okay.
So did I. If we can dive into that. No, let's dive into mine first. Go ahead. Okay. Because you had gone to bed before me. Uh-huh. Because I was doing some serious mapping.
You sure were. I've been, I had a sort of a deadline I set for myself that I wanted to have some things done before my meeting tonight so that I could review them so that we could continue planning for this big backpacking trip. So I'm working on the mapping. I come upstairs. You are asleep. Yeah.
Not for long. What did I do? Oh, here you come in the room, make it all kinds of noise.
You mean existing in the same space. I wasn't like talking, coughing a bunch. I wasn't making a bunch of noise.
No, no, no. You were making a bunch of noise. I tried to be quiet. I didn't come in there rattling chains. Here's the thing about noise when you're sleeping. It's amplified.
I get it. So I could have walked in there and went, hey, good night. And you were like, quit yelling. You had come in, done some stuff, left, came back in, done some stuff, left. You came in and out of the bedroom three times. And every time you opened and shut the door, just leave the door open. Because every time the door opened, I was like, loud.
Loud. Well, the last time I came in, your eyeballs were open and you were staring at me. And I went, hello.
What's up eyeballs? Yes, like, are you going to stop making so much noise? I should have walked back out at that time and then walked back in one more. Then you come to bed, you have to put on your mask and you get that all situated and that's noisy. And then I'm like, why is that noisy?
Is he ever going to lay down? Mask doesn't make noise. No, but you putting on your mask makes noise. What noise? All kinds of noise. Oh, it doesn't. It doesn't make all kinds of noise.
Putting it on and getting yourself situated. Noise, noise, noise. So then I'm up and I'm up and I go, now I can't sleep. Now I'm officially, officially up. Late awake for a long time. Then I finally fall asleep.
Here you are again. I don't know what time it was. Four o'clock in the morning.
Four o'clock in the morning. My eyes opened wide and I went, what is that sound? And I couldn't figure out. I thought we had a critter. I did.
I thought we, I thought I was going under the bed to find a critter. I had to turn my whole thing off. I get my mask off. I get out of bed. I go, where is this noise coming from? And I'm like, it sounds like it's coming from under the bed on your side. So I am, I get out my phone. I hit my flashlight. I'm looking all under everything.
I don't see any eyeballs looking back at me. Want to know what it was? I know what it was. What was it? It was my hangers.
Yeah. Your hangers are clanging away. Tell me I'm making unnecessary noise.
Okay. Well, you woke me up before because here you are with your flashlight shining it all over. Under the bed. And I go, what are you doing? And you go, do you hear that noise? And I go, no, I don't.
And then I did. You go back to bed because you're like, I don't know what it is. You go back to bed. I'm laid there listening to clanging. And then I, all I could hear was that noise. And I was like, what is it?
Yeah. I go, it only happens when the heater is on. Because you had a shirt hung above on your little hook thing.
Yep. And that had some hangers next to it and it was blowing in the, in the breeze. The hanger. Clanging hangers. Why didn't you move the hangers if you knew what it was?
Couldn't be bothered. I knew what it was. I was sufficiently. You were awake. Why didn't you just handle it? No, I, because I was tired. It was four in the morning. It's too early.
Yeah, I know. So I laid there for like a half hour trying to fall back asleep. Same. I didn't even know about the noise until you shine your flashlight in my face. Why did that little clanging noise make me wake me up? It was very subtle.
It was pretty. But it was enough that I was like, what is happening right now? Something is not right.
Then go back to sleep again. 530. Alarms. Your radio. No, it's your radio. That's a five, like 515. But it's not, it's 530. I'll look at it.
I'll tell you, it's earlier. You do that. I will. Anyway, rough night. Yeah, it was a rough night. Rough go. All because of you. Whoa.
Easy. I mean, it was like four o'clock in the morning on the dot. And then I went, what is that sound? And I'm laying there and I'm thinking about it. And I'm like, there's a mouse chewing some wires.
It sounds like a mouse is under the bed chewing wires. Click, click, click. All you had to do was move the hangers. That's all I did this morning.
I went, oh, there's the sound. Easy. Done. Oh. Okay. So, I'm going to go back to sleep.
Well, you know how sometimes you get influenced and you buy things and then you go like, okay, well, that's going to sit there and collect dust. No. No? No, no. No, it's not going to sit there. I'm going to use it.
I've been using the one thing. Look at how defensive you got so quick. Man.
Get over it. I was just checking my tracking on something kind of boring that I purchased. Oh. But it's supposed to arrive today.
It says expected, oh, tomorrow because there's no mail today. Correct. That's why.
I was like, it's already here in town. Why is it? It's because it's president's day and there's no mail today. Come on, man. Anyway, it's in town. I'm just going to wait.
I was excited because I thought today would be the day. What is it? My water bottles. Oh. So boring. It's such a boring purchase. I'm really excited about it though.
I got these reusable water bottles that are designed for backpacking. So whenever. Like analogy? No, because, you know how heavy that thing is? You can't, you don't backpack with that. It's too heavy. It's too much. Okay.
So what do I end up doing every time we go backpacking? I don't know. I buy smart water bottles. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You do that. And then I use them and I'm like, I'll hang on to them. I'll just keep using them. And I'm like, I'm going to throw these things away.
No, no, no, no. And then I leave them on the counter and then they get thrown away. And then, and the next time, the next trip, I'm like, I got to get two more. Well, so this company, there were, let me, let me say this lady I watch on YouTube. She worked with a company to develop a reusable water bottle for backpacking.
It's just as lightweight, but it's durable and reusable and has some really cool features. Because the one thing about the smart water bottles is that they have that tiny little cap. So it takes a little while to fill up. They're kind of a pain, right? Yeah. But that's important because that cap fits like water filters and stuff or a sport cap or whatever you like. But this one, what's great about the Nalgene is the big open thing, the big open mouth, right? The wide mouth. Yeah. So this water bottle has two lids, essentially.
You can unscrew the top portion and have the wide mouth, screw it back on and you have the little cap on top of that. It's really cool. They're really super rad.
Wow. And they had a Valentine's Day deal to get two of them for the price of one. So I got a new water bottles coming. I thought they were getting here today. I was so excited. Now I got to delay my excitement.
Wow. I'm half excited. I wish I was getting the mail today. I can't believe it. How exciting.
I just looked at tracking and said Tuesday. These water bottles. Now I can wait until tomorrow. Wow. I know.
I'm pretty stoked. In case you didn't know, Josh is the coolest person you'll ever meet. That's right. He likes to look at maps, late into the night. That is correct.
He gets really excited about new water bottles. Yes. I mean, who is cooler? A lot of people. There's like, I can think of at least eight people cooler than me. And they're all sitting in space shuttles waiting to get launched into the moon. You don't know those people are cool. Dude, they're astronauts.
They're so cool. That doesn't mean anything. Yeah.
It means a lot. I like that you think that the only people cooler than you are, the astronauts. And all the people working on the spaceships. That's pretty cool. That's pretty cool.
There's a lot of cool people. You ever go to space camp? No. I would like to. You'd never went either? I know. I think I would have liked that.
I saw the commercials all the time as a kid. Oh, how come you didn't get to go? Oh, because you were too poor? Too poor.
I didn't wish for it hard enough, I guess. I probably have to tell somebody that I'd like to go to space camp. That's what I was going to say. Instead of just seeing the cool commercial. Press interest to your parents? Yeah, no. They were like, good job.
Yeah, they were like, yeah, space camp. Keep dreaming. Okay. Oh, I'm sorry, Josh. No, it's fine. I don't think I ever told anybody.
I'll send you to space camp now if you want to go. How long is it? One week, two weeks? Easy.
Trying to get rid of me? No. I'm not going to camp. I'm staying right here by your side at all times. Because I'm cool. You are cool. Tell me about your water bottles again.
So. How do you like my outfit today? I think it looks great today. Black shirt, green pants. Yeah. So I've got olive green pants and a black shirt. Yeah, it looks great.
Okay. Over the weekend, I had on these same olive green pants. And from the same brand, might I add, this shirt and these pants, same brand. The shirt I was wearing also same brand.
On Friday. And it was a teal shirt. Yeah. And you and Emery thought I looked a mess because apparently these clash in your definition. Josh, a teal shirt and olive green pants did not look good together.
They did not look good together. Google, pull it up. You've done this. Just pull it up. What am I pulling up?
Olive green pants and teal shirt. And do a Google image search. Okay. And there's a lot of people wearing this combo. No, none of these are the combo that you had.
None of these. That lady right there is wearing it. If you go to the all search result, you'll get like the third picture over. It says blue, best blue shirt with green pants combo. Teal and green. Teal and green. Teal and green.
I don't see anything of what. Does a blue shirt go well with green pants? Yes. Yes, it does.
It goes really well, says the internet. I'm still not seeing anything that looked like what you had. A blue shirt when accompanied by green colored trousers is a combination that is both fashionable and interchangeable for different occasions. These are blue. These are the everything I'm seeing is a blue shirt. You typed in teal, right? Mm-hmm.
Yeah. It looks good. It didn't.
It really did not look good. So then I was looking this morning at the particular website where I got these outfits that have multiple pieces because here's the thing. In my man fashion understanding, is a lot of the brands, and this isn't true for everything, but a lot of the like, like this one in particular, and there are several that are like home brands from different stores. Okay. They will create pieces because men are lazy and terrible at fashion. Yeah.
They'll create many pieces that are sort of a mix and match so that you can buy a couple of pairs of pants and maybe three or four shirts and you get like eight outfits out of it because you can mix and match everything. I agree with you. Teal. So that's the whole point of that teal shirt is it can be worn with the green ones or the khaki ones.
No. It's meant to go with khaki ones, not the green ones. Now, I will say I have two long sleeve kind of crew neck shirts. I have a blue one and a sand tan one.
Uh-huh. I won't wear the sand tan one with the khakis because then I'm all brown. You've been all brown before. I've been many different colors of tan. You have. But I've not been all brown. You've had like all olive before. That's right.
All of my olive. Yeah. Yeah. There's a there's a tick tock video about that if you want to see it. And then Instagram video and that's right. Yeah.
It's a real. I should have taken a picture of you with your teal shirt and your green pants. It was acceptable. You thought it was acceptable. I think it worked well, but you were like, I can't even look at you.
It's hurting my eyes. No, I never said that. Not even once. I just said, if you want to wear that.
No, no, not once did anyone say if you want to wear that you and Emory both gave me the we can't be seen with you in public attitude. Yeah. You're. Yeah.
You're exaggerating just to know. I went and changed so that I would be able to hang out with you too. And then guess what? You were whiny the whole rest of the night. I wasn't whiny. I kept to myself. Yeah.
I changed clothes so that you would be seen in public with me and I kept to myself. That's being whiny. No, a whiny is you won't let me wear what I want to wear. That's whiny. No. And I wasn't whiny. Quiet. Yep.
I kept to myself. You're pouting. Nope. I was minding my own. Pouting. I was not pouting. They won't let me wear my teal shirt with my green pants.
They won't be seen with me wearing clothes I know look good together because they're designed to look good together. Chantel. Chantel. Yeah, dad. Yeah, dad. That doesn't look good.
She was much more harsh than I was. That's what you're going to wear? I guess if that's what you want to wear, maybe we'll just take different cars.
It never would have been that. If you wanted to wear them, I would have been like fine. Wear whatever you want to wear. I went and changed. And bowed it. So I didn't bow.
I minded my own business. I let you feel like you won one because that was what you needed. So I said, okay. I didn't.
I didn't need it. That's fine. I'm wearing a different outfit so that you will feel comfortable being seen with me. I'm comfortable being seen with you. I just wanted you to be comfortable with your own self. I was absolutely fine, felt confident until I was told otherwise. And then I went, fine, change my clothes. Whatever. Make you feel good about hanging out with me.
You're still pouting about it? I was shopping online within that same brand because I wanted to see if they had new colors. And?
They don't. I have the black. I have the teal.
I like. And I have the maroon. The black shirt, the green pants is my favorite combo. Well, that's what I'm wearing today.
I know. It's a nice look. And then I have the sand colored long sleeve and the blue long sleeve.
And I like that blue shirt with these green pants a lot. Agreed. Agreed.
I like that too. You just, but we also learned you have a little bit of a color spectrum disorder. So maybe it looks different to you than it actually does into everybody else. Maybe that's the problem. Maybe you're seeing the wrong hues.
I forgot that you had a color spectrum issue. Yeah, I have a disorder. Yeah. Now you're making that my problem. Thanks for bringing that up. Keep your disorder to yourself. Mind your own like I was after I changed to make your eyeballs feel better. Yeah.
That's what needs to happen. Get those color correction glasses and then look at me and go, actually, that looks pretty good because it does. Well, our teenage daughter thought it looked terrible too. We haven't tested her eyes. Maybe she's got the same disorder.
Who knows? I'm going to give you some quotes that some of our former presidents have said. Okay. You're going to tell me who said them. Very good. Do you think you're up for the challenge?
Sure thing. It's president's day. Let's see how bad I am at this. All right. I'm going to start off with some easy ones. Ready?
Yes. Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.
JFK. Good job. Yeah.
The only thing we have. But do it. Let's do it as JFK's voice. I can't. I was going to and then I chickened out at the last minute. When I first started, I was like, I'm going to do it.
And then I chickened out. You do it first. I really want to hear you just do it. That's all right. I can't do it.
Okay. The other thing we have to fear is fear itself. Was that Roosevelt? It was. Yeah. What's his first name?
Franklin. Good job. Very good. Two for two. Love, live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly.
Leave the rest to God. Wow. I've not heard that quote before. I haven't either. So I don't know. Take a wild guess. Can you give me like, was this... Somebody in our lifetime.
Oh. Was it, was that a Reagan? It was a Reagan. Okay.
Ronald first name. In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. That's a good one. It is a good one. This was not in our lifetime. Yeah. John Tyler. No.
What president was he? The six? Ten. Ten. Good job. I don't know.
You don't even want to take a guess. Read it again. In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. That's a good, that's a good line.
Okay. He had a beard. Oh, Abraham Lincoln. Good job.
Lincoln said that. Okay. What else we got? Here, do this one.
Believe you can and you're halfway there. I don't know. That's a good one. It's also a Roosevelt.
The other one. Teddy. Teddy Roosevelt. They called him Teddy.
Teddy. All right. See you in a couple more. Sure.
It's amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit. Oh, wow. Again, good quote. They only picked the best ones. Well, these are good quotes.
That one was from George Washington. No. Harry.
And the Henderson. S. Truman. Truman.
Good job. You need to brush up on some of your presidential quotes. Okay. Okay. One more? Sure. All right.
Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation for it is better to be alone than in bad company. Wow. They used the tis. Tis. So that's old. If you use a tis, it's old. For tis better.
For tis better to be alone. Yeah. Here, I'll do it.
Is that a Washington? I'll do it in his voice. Oh, what does that mean?
For tis better? That is Washington. Can you imagine?
What if Washington did sound like that? For tis better. For tis better? George. Yeah.
But he also said liberty when it begins to take root is a plant of rapid growth. Do you think they called him Georgie Porgy? No, they did not.
That was someone else. I bet Martha called him Georgie Porgy. I bet not. I bet she was like, Georgie Porgy? No.
Put in pie. So Georgie Porgy is from, let's see, when was it originally published? In 1841. Oh, that was around the same time as George Washington. I bet they, no, George Washington and Georgie Porgy did not cross paths. I bet they did. No. I bet it came from Georgie Porgy.
I bet not. What year was it? It was George Washington born. You know, his birthday is coming up.
Yes, I do. As a matter of fact, it is six days away. He was born in 1732. Yeah. And his teeth were made of wood.
No, they were not. Georgie Porgy appeared in 1841. He was born in what, 1732?
Yeah. He was not 109. They never crossed paths.
Sorry, buddy. We got to go see some of our talented friends in a little show called Chicago. Yeah, which, which was very good. It was very good. They did such a great job. And it was really fun to see.
And I know both of the people who we knew were performing in the show, listened to the show. So sincerely from us to you, knocked it out of the park. Well done.
Camille and Kyle. Yeah. Props out to you. Way to go. And it was fun.
That was the first time that we had done show tickets only and not the dinner experience. Yes. How do you feel it compared? I didn't like sitting that far back. I agree. Okay. But I liked sitting facing the stage.
Agreed. Because that's a challenge when you do the dinner thing is that you have to turn your chair and you're at your table. Now, I would like to have had dinner. I was thinking about it. I was thinking about it because we got there and people were still kind of snacking and eating some stuff. There was like the table in front of us had like a charcuterie thing.
Yeah. And I was like, I could go for some cheese and crackers right now while I'm watching this show. I thought the same thing. There was a biscuit at a table next to mine like a roll and I went, it won't be that. I could eat that roll. Are you going to eat that roll? I thought about asking them if they were going to eat all their cheese and crackers like, Hey, you look a little full.
Do you think you kick some of that my way? The one thing is that those tables are like set for people of six. Like it's a table of six and there's usually like three or four of us that go. So you get sat next to strangers. And not that that's a bad thing, but sometimes you try to talk to people and they're like, no, we don't want to talk to you.
They give up that infection. And that might not be as awkward if it wasn't a dinner thing. Like if you just got sat at a table, just this is where you're sitting. And then you were able to go like, Hey, how are you? Nice to see you.
Let's watch the show. But you got to sit and have a meal. Yeah. And you've got multiple courses and there's time involved. So it gets a little bit awkward sometimes.
Correct. And that's why I didn't pick the dinner this time because I don't want to sit through that awkward conversation. And I don't know if it's because of when you buy the tickets, but it always seems like two people are by each other and one person's an island. Like it's never, it's never like we're a crew.
Yep. What I did think was funny was we were getting some snacks before the show. And there was a gentleman that came up to you and said, Josh.
That's right. And shook my hand and introduced himself as the name's Ryan. He didn't introduce himself.
I think he just shook your hand. Yeah. I think I'm trying to remember. But then he looked at you and went, Hey, Chantel. And then said, it's Ryan. That's what he said.
Yeah. And I noticed him immediately. He's a guy you went to high school with. A friend of mine that I went to high school with. And I went, have you guys ever met? And he was like, No.
No. Maybe we just did. Just then. When he was like, Hey, and shook my hand. I thought it was funny that he approached you first, even though you hadn't ever met.
But I think you might have been talking to Emery about what you guys were going to order or something. And I was standing there just like, you know, there I am. And he went, Hey, I'll talk to that guy.
He's just standing there like a goof. So yeah, it was good. It was fun. Met some people, saw some people perform. Very talented friends. We do have some very talented friends. And I'm happy to know them. Yeah.
Because they're pretty good. Is that show still running? Is there still a chance to go see it?
No, it's done. I think the last show was on Saturday. If you missed it too bad. If you missed it, double too bad.
Cause that was a great show. We have a lot of art in our community from Pocatello to Rexburg. I mean, there's some great, great arts in our area.
Yeah. Take up a seat at a theater. You'll enjoy it.
It's worth your time. I was watching a video of, you know, Kevin Bacon and his wife, Karen Knightley. Not Karen Knightley. I was like, what? No. Here is such a quick, said, said, yeah. Sounds fine.
Okay. They said that the theater needs you and you need the theater. 100%.
And I was like, absolutely. If you haven't seen live theater, go check it out. Or if you have, but it's been a long time, go again. Or if you had a bad time your first time, give it a second chance. Yeah, go see some else. Yeah. Maybe you'll find something else you like. Anyway, great show. Well done. Glad I got to see it.
Sorry if you missed it. Dinner next time? Cause we always go back. I think dinner next time. Yeah, we go, we usually go once a year at least. Dinner next time, I think.
Okay. I think I like that experience better. Even though I'm usually the island. Well, then I'll put you next to the people.
I always have to be next to the people. That's what I'm saying. I'll be an island. What are you saying? I'm saying I'm the island. You're usually sitting next to a family member and I'm over here like all strangers. That is such a lie.
That is such a lie. I have to always talk to the strangers. No, you talk to them. I just sit there next to them. I always get put next to them because I always take one for the team.
Is that right? Cause I know nobody wants to sit next to the strangers. So I go, I guess I'll do it. Dinner next time. You're sitting next to the strangers. Like usual. There was a big dance over the weekend for some high schoolers in the area.
That's right. It was Sweetheart's dance, Sweetheart Ball, whatever you want to call it. Did you go to a Sweetheart Ball, a girl, last guy? Oh, I went to a couple. Yeah.
I bet you did. Dancing Night Away. Yeah. Thanks. Good for you. Thank you. Did you?
I know I went to at least one. Congrats. Yeah, thanks.
Okay. Our daughter went to hers though. This was kind of her first formal dance. This was kind of like a big deal. It was fun. She had a great time.
Yeah. My favorite part was when she left, her date came to pick her up for a little day, day activity that they were going to go do. And then they left and then she came back inside the house and she goes, you brought me flowers.
I need to put them in some water. And I go, golly, he spoils you. He was standing right inside the door. That's awesome. So it's a good thing I didn't say anything. You weren't going to say anything. No, I wasn't going to say anything bad. That's so funny.
But then I went, my own husband didn't even get me flowers for Valentine's Day. And how do you feel about that? Good.
Great. I will point out I didn't get a Valentine either. I'll just say that. That's true. It isn't like, that's true. I dropped the ball and you didn't.
That's true. You know what I did do? What? Clean the garage.
Yeah. Yesterday after you said, I just kind of want to do nothing today. And then all of a sudden, I was busy doing my own nothing.
Right. And you go, hey, can you come help me? I just had a question. Which turned into cleaning the garage. Yeah. I couldn't deal with it.
What? I had gear that needed to be put away and I was frustrated that I couldn't get through the garage. And it was driving me crazy. And it's become just such a big catch-all that I said, you know what I want for Valentine's Day?
A clean garage. So I was determined to make that happen. You did. Do you feel happy about it?
Yeah. I still have some more stuff to do, but I can actually walk around in there and it's nice. So yes, there's still some more things to do. Like put away all the Christmas lights that are on the house, for example.
But nonetheless, that's later. No, I didn't want flowers. I'm just giving you a hard time for no flowers. Right.
I get it. But what I did want, we had talked about going and getting some fried dumplings. That didn't happen.
No, I know. And I was really sad about that because we had had a late lunch that was rather large. So none of us were hungry.
Right. And I went, all I wanted for Valentine's Day was fried dumplings. Didn't get them. No.
So you owe me some fried dumplings. Okay. That's easy. It is easy. You can just go get them.
It's not like you have to do anything special or crazy. You just go, say, can I have these? And they go, yeah, that'll be $8 and you go, thanks.
And then you leave with them. They're not hard to get. I know. Oh, I have the day after today. Yeah. After the show.
Maybe it's a fright. You're supposed to be making BLTs. Yeah, we were supposed, I was supposed to do that this weekend too. None of our weekend plans really went as planned.
No. The only thing that happened that was sort of planned, and I say sort of, because I know it bugged you there wasn't more planning involved, was Emery's dance. It bugged me that there wasn't more planning involved.
Right. They were just terrible at communicating their plans. And so whenever I asked her what the plans were, oh, I don't know. I think we're going to do this. What time is that happening? Oh, I don't know.
I should probably text her and see. Do you need to bring supplies? Do you need to bring, you know, food?
Do you need to go to the grocery store? Let me ask. Hold on. Yeah. All of this was on the morning of the dance. You kids are killing me.
Let's get some planning taken care of, huh? It's funny. But no, it seems like she had a good time. She looked great. It was a fun night and it was on Valentine's Day, which is special. So yeah, good dancing.
She said that there weren't very few to no slow dances. Yeah. We tried that was interesting. She said that DJ was playing all upbeat stuff. And you said that your theory was they don't want anybody slow dancing. Yeah, they didn't want those teenagers getting too close. Yeah, they're like, just keep the fast paced playlist. Keep them apart. Let's keep those slow dances to a minimum. That's what they told the DJ beforehand.
Let's just keep it all upbeat. Do you remember a song, a slow dance song from when you were... So, Truly Madly Deeply from Savage Garden was new at the time. So that song was heavily used as a slow dance. That came out when I was in college. You're younger than me.
By nine months. It was in high school where that song was doing its thing. And then Boys to Men was huge. So there was a lot of Boys to Men slow dance in the playlist.
I'm trying to think what else. I think I said this last week, but everything I do, I do it for you. I swear from all for one was a big slow dance song.
You don't have to sing it. I saw your face ramping up. You were getting ready.
It's okay. You were taking a breath like you were getting ready to just belt it out. And that's what you were going to do.
I was, but I decided not to. Aerosmith, I don't want to miss a thing. Those were the staples.
Some slow Mariah Carey in there probably. Did you... I always got nervous doing slow dancing because I was like, are we just supposed to dance quietly or are we supposed to talk? Oh, you can do whatever you want. And because when I got nervous, I would just end up chatting a lot. Fun.
Queen of fun. You know, the other song that was huge was My Heart Will Go On from Celine Dion. That song was a giant when we were in high school.
Yes. You couldn't hear it if you were dancing with me. No, no, you would be like, well... Don't ask Chantel today. I took a dance class with you and you talked the whole time. And I went, I'm really trying to count. I'm really... And you were singing along with...
I know. Is that a thing you do too? You sing along with the songs into somebody's ear?
No, I only do that with people I'm comfortable with. Oh, good. What a treat. Lucky duck. Yeah, that's me. The luckiest of the ducks. Have you ever had to wait in line in the restroom?
I mean, yes. Why is it so awkward? Because everybody's just waiting and you don't really talk. No, and it's weird. It's not a fun time.
You're usually not like... At least for me, I'm not usually with someone I know. So the total of my conversation, like in a venue is, is this the line? Yeah. And then they go, yeah. And I go, great. And then I stand there. Then you just wait. And there's nothing else to say. And then it's awkward to be the person using one of the rest... The stalls.
Stalls or whatever, yeah. Because you know everybody out there is waiting for you. Sure. And so then you're like, I gotta hurry. So you just try to hurry.
Oh, I just let my body do what my body's gotta do. It's not my problem if you still have to wait. Like that's... Everybody has to wait. So my body's gonna do its thing. And then I'm gonna wash my hands and I'm gonna leave.
And then it's your turn. Yeah. I just had to wait. There were two stalls and there was a line of women. There's always a line of women. For two stalls?
Yeah. We had two stalls and two urinals. There were four spots. That's not fair. No, one stall.
So three. That's not fair. I don't know what to tell you. Because I'm quick. But there are a lot of women who are not quick. Okay.
I'm an in and out kind of person. I get it. And so then when I'm standing there and I'm like, what is that? You know what's happening? The body's doing what the body does.
That's what's happening. Somebody in there is like, not my problem if you're waiting a little bit longer, the body takes as long as it takes. It's just so awkward. It's just such an awkward part of being a human. It is not like the funnest thing. And the waiting part is just as bad.
Because then you just have to be like, okay, let's just... Here's the other thing about the queue that I was in, is that you have three people currently in use, two sinks for hand washing. And then for some reason, the line didn't just stay outside.
There were two people waiting inside. So there were a total of what is that? Three, four, five, six, seven people in the room.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. And then the line outside. So one person would come out, the one person who was waiting would move forward, and that created a queue inside the room for one person. So whenever one person came out, another person went into the room, just to continue to stand in line.
Yeah. Do dudes not wait inside the bathroom in line? I don't care for that. I would prefer if the line stayed outside. I don't like the in-rest room waiting line. Women wait, but we have stalls. We have... Which is fine.
I mean, everything's facing a wall. That's not an issue. Okay. I just would prefer to like, when I go into the room, I'd like to go into the room directly to where I'm headed and then be done. I don't like to go in the room and then have to stand there. That I don't like. That's what women typically do. It's just a line of people waiting inside the bathroom.
And it's never big enough. No, I know. I get it. I would rather just wait outside. It's like a false sense of I'm next.
Yeah. Because then you're like, oh, sweet. I'm going in the room. That means I'm next. And then you go in the room and you're still in line. And looking into the stalls, like, yeah, there's definitely feet in there.
Like, are you sure there's somebody in that one? I just kick my shoes off and leave them there so people don't know whether there's somebody in there or not. It's the worst. That's one of the worst things about being human is just having to use a public bathroom. And the waiting. The waiting. And why inside? Let's just wait outside. Can we just wait outside? I don't need to wait inside the bathroom.
How do I stop that? Like, I would have to be the person who opened the door and saw there were people waiting and went, oh, sorry, not yet. Yeah, you'd have to be that first person in line. And then I would count and I'd go, okay, there's two people at the sink and one person waiting in line still, which means I need three people to come out before I go in.
And then the people will, I'm going to be like, why isn't he going in? Three people came out. Yeah, they're going to be so mad at you.
Three people came out. They're going to be like, are you going to go in? And I'm not going to go in and just stand in line still. It's not open.
Doesn't matter. They're going to go past you and wait inside. No, I'm going to go, hey, hey, hey, I'm next. I'm just only going to go in and use the bathroom.
I'm not going to go in and wait in more line. It's the worst. And you're up against the wall. It's all bad. And then you come out.
I know. And then all the people in line are watching you as you wash your hands and you're like, yeah. Oh, and you better wash your hands. And that's, I think, that is where the real bonus comes in is that you get shamed. If there's enough people around, people will do the right thing because integrity is lost on people when they're left to their own devices. But if you've got accountability standing there, going like that guy's better wash his hands. Huh? He washed his hands.
Good job, buddy. Yes, and then everybody's staring at you while you wash your hands. You're like, did I use enough soap?
Did I take too much water? No, no, no one is doing that. I'm out. The entire judgment is on whether you do it or not, not how you do it.
It's just the sigh of relief when you leave the bathroom area and you're like, I'm done. I'm out. Yeah, good luck in there. Line's four people deep before you even get in there.
It's crazy. My line did move pretty quick though. I had a shorter line. Yeah, my line moved fast, but the men always have a shorter line, always.
Because women take so long. Take? Take quicker. Take quicker. Put that on a sticker. Take quicker.
Would you rather this or that? It's at President's Day edition. Okay. Would you rather have Secret Service follow you around forever or never have to wait in line again? So these are both kind of a, what do I care about Secret Service? I mean, I get I understand because it's the president or a person of high profile. But if I'm just me, I don't need Secret Service following me around.
That sounds bleh. I don't need people like standing outside doors making sure that perimeters are all covered. It's just everywhere you go. That sounds obnoxious. Kind of. You can't drive yourself.
Like there's a lot of things that you just can't do. And they're just always there. Yeah. Always. Plus they have like a nickname for you. I do. Oh yeah. Every president has a Secret Service nickname.
Did you not know that? Mm-mm. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. So like the bald eagle, the bald eagle. Has landed.
Right. What would be your nickname? Secret Service presidential nicknames. Some cool I think. I've never heard of that before. They've released a few of them.
Some of them they haven't released. But like JFK's code name was Lancer. Oh. Do they get to pick them?
I don't know. But his nickname was Lancer because his administration was often compared to Camelot. Richard Nixon, his code name ended up being Ironic, Searchlight. Gerald Ford's moniker was Paske. Jimmy Carter's name was Deacon. Ronald Reagan's code name was Rahide.
Interesting. George H.W. Bush was Timberwolf. Bill Clinton was Eagle. George W. Bush was Trailblazer.
Barack Obama was Renegade. Let's see. Interesting.
Joe Biden's code name was Celtic. Yeah. Fascinating.
I did not know this. It could have been Celtic. One or the other.
It could be Celtic. But anyway, yeah, they all have Secret Service code names. I want a code name. Okay.
What would it be? I don't know. Okay, I'm gonna think about it. Danger. Yeah. No. Yes.
What are you picking? Oh, wait. Yeah, I don't want Secret Service. I like to be alone. I'm just gonna have no line.
Yeah, same. Because that's fine. I don't need, I don't need to detail. Oh, no line? You have to wait in line if you don't have Secret Service. What did you say? Secret Service or never wait in line again.
Never wait in line again. Oh. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Are you hearing what you said? Yeah. Okay. I got it. Yeah, I'm picking that. Me too.
All right. Listen, I know that there are places around the state that are popular and that other people know about them and that I shouldn't feel like I have some exclusivity to access certain parts of the state that other people don't also have access to. It's a wilderness area. It's public people can go. Other people will be there when I'm there. But boy was I frustrated when I went to the bookstore and I said, there's a book that's specific to where I'm trying to plan and I'm doing all this mapping and I'm trying to get ready for this backpacking trip.
And there's a book that I need that is so specific. I took a picture of the cover. I took a picture of the ISBN so I could look it up.
ISBN, yes. And then I looked it up to see if it was at the library. If I could check it out, they don't have a copy of it.
And I was telling you about it and you said, well, you could request them to get it and then you could borrow it. It's kind of a book that I think I will use more than just one time. So I think it's probably one that I'd like to buy. And it's a book that you'd like to write in. Yeah, I'd like to take notes and the margins and stuff.
Yeah, highlight things and whatever. So I said, I think this is a book that I probably just want to buy. So we go to the bookstore. I go exactly to the shelf where I held it, not but a few days ago.
When did I take the picture? I don't know. Uh, let's see. I took the picture on.
Oh, good grief. Do you want me to stall? Do you want me to fill time while you're looking for it? On February 7th. Okay. So nine days ago. Well, it was yesterday. So eight days ago, went to the store. Eight days later, apparently they had one copy and somebody bought it.
And I went, no way. So I went up to the counter and I said, hey, is there a chance that this book is still in stock or that you have other copies? And the nice lady who helped me said, no, it was purchased yesterday.
Yesterday. And I went, you've got to be kidding me. It's a travel book. And it's a random.
Specific to a very specific place. It's such a random book. I know. And I'm like, you've got to be kidding me.
Do you think it was purchased by somebody who's also in your backpacking group? Okay, there is potential for that. I should ask that question. I would ask. I'm gonna say, hey, did anybody purchase this book? I would. Because there's only a few of us that are even involved in the planning right now.
But that seems weird. What are the odds? That never tell me the odds, but slim. Yeah.
Slim, right? To buy this random hiking book yesterday. Yesterday. Well, the day before. So Saturday. Somebody bought it on Saturday.
Yeah. I went to buy it yesterday. It was gone. So anyway, they're going to order me a copy and call me when it gets in. I'm like, you got to be kidding.
Anyway, I'm going to tell you the odds. Someone bought my book. Okay. How? I'm not. I don't know what the odds are. I don't know what the odds are that somebody would buy the random hiking book that you were looking for. I don't know what the odds are. I'm going to see if the internet can tell me. Okay.
I think it might be somebody in your group and your hiking group. That's what I really think. Let's see. What is the probability? The odds are extremely low for an obscure book. Even lower for a very specific book. A typical bookstore with over 200,000 titles. The chances of two strangers choosing the same book are very small. They're saying the particular book, the chances are somewhere as low as one in 5000. Really?
That's what the internet says. Now, if it was a best seller, that'd be one thing. But it is a very specific, I would say obscure. I would say it's an obscure category. Yeah.
I would also say that. Because it's so specific. And they say it's less than 1% of publishers books, whoever make it to a physical bookstore shelf. And the fact that they only carried one copy means it's not a big seller.
Right. And it's also February. Who's buying hiking books in February? This is the time to plan. You plan your year of hiking and camping right now. Okay. And then you have all of your stuff planned out and then you execute. I see.
I have a Google Drive all about it. Wow. I know. I know. Pretty cool.
Coolest guy you know. Well, it's going to come. You get your own copy coming. You've got an order in.
That is cool. They call you when it's ready. Yep. And you just have to wait, which you would love to do.
Yeah. And I have no tracking. I have no idea how long it takes them to order in a book. I have no clue. You're just going to have to wait. Sorry, Charlie.
Two days, seven days, six months. They'll call you when it's in. Yeah. That's all she said. Okay.
We'll call you when it gets here. Know anything else. You're going to lose your mind. I know. I'm going to have to bind it online before I can wait.
I absolutely think that's what you'll do. Because you hate waiting for stuff that you really want. Yeah. It's important to my planning. I'd like to get it here as soon as possible.
How long does it typically take? I got to find that out. I'll look into that. Let's wrap up the show. Have a great rest of your Monday. Happy President's Day. We'll be back tomorrow. Happy Monday.
Yeah. Thanks for hanging out. See you tomorrow. Goodbye.
