Full show transcript:
Hey. I saw a creepy video today of trapdoor spiders that I showed you. Yes. Were you were into it? I did.
I wasn't. I I think it's freaked out by spiders. That one comes out so fast. He's protecting his space. Dude, he wanted to eat the human.
Well, maybe the human shouldn't be all up in his business. It was crazy. I didn't like also, he was like neon blue. Also, leave him alone. Why are there neon blue spiders hiding behind trap doors?
I don't like it. They won't bug you if you don't bug them. I feel like someone needs to make a a real creepy spider movie. Arachnophobia. Beyond that, and I'm talking like there's that movie eight legged freaks.
Oh, yeah. Like, that one, but it's but it's cheesy because the spiders start, like, communicating and making human noises when they get hurt and when they're when they're running and stuff. I don't care for that. Like, make it not campy. Make it actually scary, but involve different types of spiders, including trapdoors.
I don't wanna watch the movie. I just want someone to make that. I'll watch it. Ugh. I'm not afraid of spiders.
Yuck, dude. Hey. It is wetness day, May seventh. We missed out on the big bee event last week. I know, and I'm bummed out about it because there were thousands of bees swarming around the building.
I know. I'm sad. I bet it was cool. Okra water is just weird tasting water. That's what I've decided.
We haven't tried it. We don't know. Listen. Because there's no health benefit to it. It's just okra in your water.
Then you take the okra out and drink the water. Drink the water. It's okra flavored water. It's just water. Yeah.
Just eat okra and drink water. You're not getting the health benefits of okra by leaving it swimming around in there. Hey. Idaho came in third place. Woah.
Way to go. Hey, bronze. Bronzy, bronze. Way to go, Idaho. Bronzy.
Bronzy. What? Why do you keep saying that? Josh cleaned only his side of the bedroom. Why is that a problem?
Because mine is still a mess. Clean up your side of the room. How to look cool in a motorcycle helmet. I mean, you just do. You just put it on and you look cool.
Yeah. I do. That's it. I do. That's all you gotta do.
Cool. Yeah. Leather jacket, helmet, looking cool. Tomorrow is tricep Thursday. Tricep Thursday is where you want to work out in the studio where we don't have benches.
We don't have I just have a free weight. Okay. What exercise are you gonna do? Tricep. That's not it.
I don't know what muscle you keep trying to work out, but that's not your tricep. We're gonna have an anatomy lesson. Pickle people party. Pickle people party. Anyone can join the pickle people.
It's not an exclusive club. It's just people that pickle things. That's all it is. Yeah. Yeah.
Josh says manly things, and I watch like a creeper. I know. It's weird. No. It's sad.
Said it and made a creeper face just now. Quit looking at me do stuff. It's weird. Never. Go to to the basement while I do stuff.
That's weird. And watch from the basement? That's even creepier. It's weird. Sometimes you need a disappointing affirmation.
Yeah. You're not doing well enough. Do better. Yeah. Maybe quit hanging in there and get something done.
I like that one. And we celebrate the Utah mammoths as the official name of the NHL. I didn't add an s. There is no s in there. It's the Utah mammoth, singular, as the official name of the NHL team.
The mammoth. Mammoths. There's no s. Multiple of them. Yeah.
There's look at all those mammoth. Not look at all those mammoths. All those mammoths. Yeah. Okay.
We are Josh and Chantel. This is wake up classy 97, the podcast. Podcast. Hey. Enjoy today's show.
Hey. Hi. Hey. Hi. What's up?
Howdy. Like the smell of the trees outside. I love the smell of the trees outside. And the sun is up earlier and earlier. It's very bright this morning.
Very. I walked outside, and I went, are we really super late? It's just that bright. It's delightful. It is nice.
But what what are those trees? It's gotta be the because the lilac trees haven't fully popped yet, but there's, like, the the white ones. I think they're the May trees. Are they May trees? I don't know, because there's several different flowering trees out there.
Yes. May tree, is probably one of them. So that's the that's the little flat flowery ones. But there's one, on this end of the building, on this end of the parking lot where, it, it looks like white lilac. It's probably white lilac.
But why haven't all the purple ones opened up yet? I I'm not a botanist, Josh. I don't I don't know you. I don't know because they're not ready. Every flower blooms in its own time.
Okay. I mean, it looks like a white lilac. So here's the lesson. But it smells nice. They'll bloom.
Don't rush them. Okay. Alright. I'll be patient. There you go.
Because I know that all the way across this back area, there's a ton of purple. I can't wait. Tons of it. I can't wait till they all open up. Yeah.
We were not in the in the office last week on Friday. Uh-huh. But, apparently, they had, like, a a huge amount of bees. And I am talking about, like, a swarm. Awesome.
A ton of bees. Awesome. And you could hear it, like, in the building. There were so many. You could hear it.
I know. Right? And and it freaked out some people. Other people are like, this is amazing. And when outside to look at it because the bees aren't there to hurt anybody.
They're they it was like a it was like a whole, colony or whole hive or something was moving. It was a lot of bees. That's great. A lot. They're working.
They don't care about you. Well They're busy. All these trees opened up, so they could've just been like, this is the time we go hit this tree. I don't know. I don't know.
That's I'm I'm sad I missed it. It sounds it sounds like it was kind of cool with that. Have they moved on those days? Best of my knowledge. Oh.
I didn't hear them. I haven't heard them the past couple of days I've been in here. We'll have to take a walk outside this morning and see if we can see them. I I don't know. They can't be far.
Well, I don't know. Bees cover a huge radius. Do you know that? I do know that. Are you a bee expert?
No. No. Not even close. But their flying radius or their range, is a one to two mile radius of their hive, but they can travel up to five miles or more to find food. Oh, now we know.
Yeah. It's that for a bee, that's huge distance. They're only this big. Come back, bee. Come back.
Come say hi? Yes. They could be they I mean, there's a lot of trees around. They could be anywhere. Good morning.
It's Josh and Chantel. You know how we have a garden? Yes. And, we were at the plant store on your birthday Uh-huh. Last week.
Uh-huh. And and I said, man, I don't I just don't know if I have enough vegetables. And I put together a list of other vegetables I think it would be fun to grow. Tomatillos. Yum.
Bell peppers Yes. In a couple different varieties. I thought we had bought bell peppers. We have jalapenos. We do not have bell peppers.
Sad. I know. What I kinda feel like I need another garden glass. I can. I think that too.
And okra was on the list because, pickled okra is super yummy. Pickled okra is so good. So we were I was thinking it'd be fun to grow okra just so we could pickle it. And even if we had a bunch, we just have more jars of okra, wouldn't we? Yeah.
So I don't know. Yeah. We would. Yeah. I don't know how what else you do with okra, though.
Well, you just eat it. It's a great source of fiber, so that's good. And You can grill it. Yeah. You can.
Can. Delicious. There's a few different things you can do with it. You can pickle it. Yeah.
You can grill it. Yeah. You can slice it up. Sure. Put it in a taco.
Or soak it in water and then, drink that water. That's a new health trend. Really? Well Like cucumber water. I guess.
Yeah. Okra water is, is taking over the Internet Internet right now, and people say that you can chop up some okra, soak it in water overnight, drink the water in the morning, and it has all sorts of, benefits. People say it helps with pregnancy to managing diabetes, to improving gut health. I need to improve my gut health. Is it true, though?
I don't know. Or is it an Internet fad? Could be an Internet fad. But Well Uh-oh. What?
But what? And then I'll tell you what No. I don't have any what the doctor says. You tell me what a doctor says. Doctor says that, while drinking, it certainly won't hurt you.
And if it helps boost your daily water intake, that's a win. However, you're not gonna get any, not even nearly as much fiber from the okra, in water as you would if you just ate it. Okay. And so the bottom line is if you're into the taste and texture of okra water, go wild, but don't count on it to deliver all the magical health perks that the Internet claims. Do you remember a couple years ago, there was a big fad, and now I don't hear it at all.
Okay. Everybody for a long time was talking about celery water. Oh, yeah. I've gotta juice my celery water. Here's what happens.
You see this stuff, and you go, this is where I better try this. I gotta do this. I gotta do celery water. I need to do I carrot bacon. I need to do Hey.
Carrot bacon, I just wanna eat because I like carrots. Yeah. Eat a carrot. I will eat a carrot, but don't you think carrot bacon looks delicious too? There's a guy on the Internet who's making, banana peel pulled pork.
We had there was a banana peel thing I saw not too long ago, and I was like, I'm gonna try that. I don't remember what it was. Might have been banana peel bacon. No. Okay.
Listen, though. It's not. Because the celery water, there was an Instagrammer that I followed. Mhmm. And I she was all into celery water.
Uh-huh. Celery water. And I messaged her, and I said, what are the benefits of eating celery water rather than just eating a thing of celery? I feel like you're gonna get the most benefits just by what you have to juice the celery. Eat the celery, drink a glass of water.
Eat the celery, drink a glass of water. She never responded. Yeah. No. Really?
And now you don't see anybody talking about celery water. In in about five seconds when we finish this conversation, you're not gonna hear anybody talking about okra water either. No. It's over. It's done.
Just eat the okra. You'll be fine. Okra is delicious. Pickled okra. I've I really like pickled okra.
Me too. Alright. There's gotta be a place you can just buy that. Yeah. Oh, you can I mean Or we could grow our own and then pickle it ourselves?
You can buy it. But you gotta wait for that harvest. You can't just have it right now. So that's the thing about this vegetable garden that I'm quickly learning is I'm watching these plants do their thing, and I'm thinking to myself, you know, could be eating a tomato. Instead, I'm watching it just get bigger on the vine.
It's not ready yet. No. It's not even ready. Close. It's just this little green ball.
Let's get to it. Come on, man. I got a ways to go before harvest. Patience. I keep waiting for the beans in the back row to start Beans?
Popping up, the beans and the peas. Every day, I go, well, nothing yet. It's been, like, three days. When are we gonna see them? Can't wait.
Carrots? Anything? No? Alright. Pretty soon, you're gonna be overwhelmed by the bounty.
I can't wait. I know. Me too. Because I I'll that's good. A cornrow.
Vegetables. Let's go. That'll be cool. Zucchinis. Wait for those flowers to open.
Okay. Slow process. Patience, young Padwan. Thank you, Star Wars lady. Some good news to get you going.
This is a cool story. Mandy Eggleston. She's from Oklahoma City. She's 11 years old. Watching TV, a thunderstorm was going on outside.
A loud boom shook the house. It was lightning. Lightning had struck the house, and lightning had started a fire in the house. I know. So Mandy quickly ran to check on her mom and her younger brother, Ryan.
Possibility. Well, I don't they're on Oklahoma. Okay. Crazy lightning. K.

Let's go. Can we talk about something? What do we need to talk about? Oh, there's something we need to talk about. Oh, no.
What do you feel like we need to talk about? I came home from work last night, and you were rolling the vacuum out of our bedroom. That is correct. That's awesome because I've noticed that that has needed to be done for a while. Right.
And I was excited that you saw that it needed to be done Yeah. And did it. Yeah. Well, here's the thing. Like, when I I get home before, like, everybody, and so there's, like, an hour or so before other people in the house show up.
And so it's an opportunity for me to, like yesterday, I let the dog out. I opened up the gardens. I watered everything. I went inside. I was like, alright.
Sweet. I I wanna get some stuff done because it's a time where I can just like, as you say, I don't have to worry about anybody else. I can just hammer out a project. It's nice, isn't it? It's a good time.
So I like being home alone. I usually make the bed because it it needs to be made, so I do that. And then, I was looking around on my side of the of the bedroom, and I went, it is dusty in here. I've got, clothes that need to be put away. So I was I I just looked around, and I also have I'm a piler.
And so I had, like, old papers that I needed to sort through that were just on top of, my side of the dresser. You said, do you think I need these? Well, right. And I said, yeah. I would have thrown them away weeks and weeks ago.
Okay. Get rid of them. That's what you said. If it were up to me, they would have been gone a long time. What is it's fine.
I just want I didn't know if I needed to hold on to them anyway. Anyway Okay. Point is, I saw all of this and I said, I need to do something about this because this is gross. Like, I'm I'm feeling overwhelmed, and I should be able to walk into the bedroom and relax. Yeah.
And I and I had put away clothes, and then I looked at the bottom of the closet where all my shoes are at, and I went, that's a mess. Like, I so I matched up all my shoes. I vacuumed. I dusted. And then, as I was pushing the vacuum out, that's when you walked in.
Yes. That is what happened. My problem is thus. Why did you only do your side of the room? I don't know what's on your side of the room.
I don't know what you have over there. I don't know what you wanna do with that. You got you did the clothes swap thing. You still have your your winter clothes are in boxes on your side of the bed. I don't know what you wanna do with that.
You could've left that, though, and maybe just at least dusted my side of the room. I don't know where your stuff goes. I don't know what you left. Bro. I dust your side of the room when I'm cleaning the room.
Wait. When? When? Yeah. When I clean the bedroom?
No. Yes. I always dust and vacuum and clean your side of the room. Looks great. It does look great.
Mine does not. We'll get it done. Oh, and here's what happens. Usually, if I'm cleaning your side of the room, then I if I'm like, oh, I don't know if he wants to hang on to this, then I'll just put it on the bed. I know.
And then you'll come in and be like, oh, thank you. I needed to take care of this. Right. And then you'll take care of it. So you could have absolutely have done that.
Lot of stuff over there. I walked over there when I made the bed and about tripped on a bunch of stuff. I don't I don't know what you've got going on over there. So I I didn't wanna disturb it because it looked like you had a plan. I don't have a plan.
Oh. I mean, I do have a plan. I just don't have time to get to the plan this week. Okay. Not until tomorrow will I have time to get to the plan.
Gotcha. But it would have been nice maybe to just have, like, a little rag swept across my nightstand I don't know. My side of the dresser. You got too much stuff going on over there. All you have to do is just put it back.
You just have to move it, put it back. Like, my night dust. Put it back. I put everything away. Like, everything's nice and clean on my side.
I don't know what you're talking about. I know. It looks really nice. Good job. Yes.
Good job cleaning your side of the bedroom. Right. I was gonna clean my side of the living room today. Because I've got a lot of stuff in the living room. I I've got stuff on the coffee table.
I've got stuff next to the piano. I gotta get that stuff together. We need to do a That's what I'm doing. We need to do a spring clean. I wanna get rid of all of it.
I know. Ugh. That's what you've said. It's too much. I get it.
Too much stuff. But now my side looks not like too much stuff. You're a piler, and I'm a stasher. I know. We've talked about this just last night.
If there's a corner, you stick stuff in it or the side of the bed. Because, your side of the bed, you can't see when you walk in the room, and so you just stuff all the boxes of clothes. Yeah. You've stacked it away. Yeah.
So when you walk in the room, you go, look how nice this room looks. I can't see all the stuff that's hiding over there by the bed. That's your deal. Me, I'm a piler where it's like, I'll get to that pile of stuff. I have a pile of stuff in a box on the kitchen table right now.
I have a pile of stuff, probably in the chair at the end of the dining room table. I have stuff everywhere. I know. But it's all in motion. It's all it's headed in a direction.
It's going toward where it needs to be put away. I'm working on that. That's the big deal. It'll just be sitting there for weeks and weeks and possibly months. No.
Or until I move it. And then like, where did it go? I'm ready to deal with that. Where did it all go? Where's my stuff?
You go, I don't know. I have no I don't know. I didn't touch it. Right. Case in point, I didn't dust because I didn't want you to be like, where's all my stuff?
And then me go, I didn't touch it. Now you know I didn't touch it. I know you didn't touch it. Maybe you should have touched it. I don't know.
At least, Dusted. I would have done it for you. Oh, come on. Making it sound all epic. Like, I would have done it for I would have sacrificed and lifted your things and dusted.
I would because I have. It's just what people do for one another. Josh So it's May. Yes. And May is motorcycle safety awareness month.
Oh, okay. It's a good thing to know about. It is a good thing to know about. Uh-huh. Look twice for motorcycles.
You ride a motorcycle. I do. I hate that you have a motorcycle. Okay. I hate it.
Alright. But I also kinda like it. Okay. Good. Super clear on, where we where we are on this thing.
What I hate when you drive it because it makes me so anxious because Okay. I understand. A lot of motorcycle accidents. I drive with these people on the road. I know that a lot of them don't know how to drive and are very distracted.
And every time you say I'm riding my motorcycle, I go, and then I pan, like, the whole time until you're where you need to go safely Okay. And you're home safely. Alright. But I also like to ride on that motorcycle with you because it's fun. Yep.
Now I also get very anxious and nervous when we ride on the motorcycle together because I'm like, we're gonna orphan our children. Okay. So last night, we were headed somewhere to hang out with some friends. Right. And you said, you wanna take the bike?
And I went, yeah. Kinda. K. And you and you said, if you do. And I said, okay.
Fine. And I told the kids. I said, hey. If you don't see us by 10:00, we've died in a fiery motorcycle crash. Which is a terrible thing to say, but go on.
But they we had to have a plan. Here is my problem with the motorcycle. I don't know how to look cool riding a motorcycle. Uh-huh. I don't let's be clear.
I don't know how to look cool doing pretty much everything in my life, but I don't know how to get on and off the motorcycle while still looking cool. I don't know how to put on and wear my helmet and take off my helmet while looking I don't know. I thought you looked pretty cool. Stop it. I'm serious.
You look good in your helmet. It's fun. And you've got a little leather jacket, and you look pretty great. Here's the thing that I would say to anyone who has a motorcycle or wants to get a motorcycle or is going to be a passenger on a motorcycle, wear a helmet. Wear a helmet.
Like, it's the easiest thing to do, and I don't care if you feel goofy, wear a helmet. I feel goofy, but guess what? I wanna protect my head. Dude, wear a helmet. I wish I got on the freeway.
I know. Every time I see somebody, whether I'm on my bike or I'm on, and and, you know, there's, like, waving at other bike riders when you're on your bike, stuff like that. But when, when I see other people on motorcycles, I I always go, why aren't you wearing a helmet? Why aren't you wearing a helmet? I know.
Wear a helmet. I know. And it's the easiest thing to do. We went for a ride around our neighborhood when you first got the motorcycle Right. Without helmets.
Just in the just around the block. Yeah. Really short. And it is much more fun to not wear a helmet because you can feel the breeze. Yeah.
It was lovely, but there's no way that I'm not ever going to not wear a helmet. I mean No way. We have full face helmets. So if you like feeling the breeze on your face, you could get a different kind of helmet. I want the full face because I also have a bottom of my face I don't want to hit the road.
But, you know, that's just me. Crazy. You have a bottom of your face? Mhmm. Yeah.
Where my jaw is and my teeth and everything else. I'd like to keep that all intact. I like the bottom of your face. Yeah. So, you know, but I'm also like, I'm not a big freeway guy.
I'm not, like, I I'm an in towner. Okay. I'm not I'm not doing the long rides. I'm not riding to a rally. Let's go back.
Okay? How do you look cool while putting on your helmet? You're on the motorcycle. How when you're putting it on? Yeah.
I mean It squeezes my face. Yes. It does. Yes. It does.
Your whole cheeks push forward, and your mouth looks like this. And it's hilarious. Like a chubby bunny. But I think you look pretty cool. I I don't look at you and go, that's not it.
You know? It also feels like I have a big bobblehead. Like, my head feels so heavy when I wear the helmet that I'm like, I gotta rest my head on the table. Yeah. I saw you doing that.
Feel a little top heavy. It is a little bobble heavy. Our friends took pictures of me last night in my helmet because my cheeks were so squished together. Not nice. It was cute.
Okay. Now getting on and off the motorcycle is tricky because I can't touch the engine. Is it the engine? The exhaust pipes. The exhaust pipes.
They'll burn on the exhaust pipes. And I have done that before. But that's only at like, that's really when you're getting off of the bike or if it's still hot and you're getting on. Like, when it's just started, they aren't super, super hot right away. Okay.
But, yeah, you don't wanna hit that with your leg. No. I've done it before. It hurts. It hurts.
It does hurt. And it was a bare leg that I touched it with. Right. Not a human one. Every time.
That joke is funny every single time. I was walking around with my bare feet. Oh, not your human feet? Every single time. You haven't given me any advice on how to look cool.
You all you do look cool. You got a you got a leather jacket. You got a helmet. You're on a motorcycle. Automatic cool factor.
Cool is done. Putting on and taking off the helmet, getting on and off the bike, that just comes with practice. Okay. But you look really cool when you're squeezed in your helmet. You do.
You look really cool. And guess what? Being safe is the coolest thing of all. Let's go. Please look twice for motorcycles.
Please. Because it might be us. And, you know, that's the last thing you want. You know? I do know.
Yeah. Look twice, and then look a third time just to be sure. Safe. Mhmm. There's a lot of them out there.
There's a lot of motorcycles out there. Absolutely. About a week ago, I mentioned how I wanted to work on my triceps. Yeah. You've you've said that, you didn't like the saggy arm skin or something.
I don't know what you called it. But, but, yeah, you've you've been talking about that. How's it been going? Have you been doing the dumbbells and the kettlebells and all that? What?
Is that a no? So no changes, no improvements, no no adjustments, nothing, no attempts, nothing? What's the story? Don't just been busy. Okay.
I'm not I'm not being critical. Well I'm just asking the question. Sounds like you're being critical. Asking the question. I we went out with some friends last night Yeah.
And my friend said, hey. How are the triceps going? Uh-huh. I felt attacked. Oh.
I immediately hid my arms and said, good. Going so so good. But you haven't done No. And listen. This morning, I walked out the door, and right by the door is, some weights, some 10 pound weights.
I have 10 pounds and five pounds. And I went, oh, I see. Those when I vacuumed my side of the room. Go on. I thought to myself, I should grab those because in between when we're in here talking, I could absolutely be Oh, you wanna bring them in here?
Yeah. I could be lifting while I'm in here. We could do the show in a pool, and you can do water aerobics. That'd be cool. I'd be down.
Do you think, I Do I think what? Nothing. Go on. I'm just saying, I could be lifting while I'm in here. Yeah.
I could be lifting while I'm talking on the radio right now. So why don't I do that? I don't know. I'm gonna I gotta make a note. I'm gonna put it in my phone.
Write it down. Okay. Bring weights to work. Bring bring weights. Do you think that's okay?
For you to bring weights to work? Yeah. Do you think the boss will mind? I don't I don't think it's gonna be an issue. It's not gonna inhibit me doing my job.
Right. I think I think if you need to bring weights To work on these tries? That's what people call them, don't they? Tri triceps. Yeah.
The tris. Work on my tris. Yeah. Like that. Sure.
That's what cool people say. Uh-huh. Last time I checked. Because look. I gotta do some work.
Okay. I hit are you are you gonna look up the exercises, or what are you gonna do? I don't know. Okay. I don't know what to do.
It's all about, I thought you knew what to do. I do know the tricep method exercise. Tell me what to do, and I'll do it. Okay. When do you wanna start?
Tomorrow. Tomorrow. No. I don't have the weights. We'll start tomorrow.
Well, I look around. I'll find something. What is tricep Thursday. Yep. Yep.
Like, I'm practicing right now without what? Without the weights. I've got the arm motion. What's your I can't see it. What are you doing?
It's okay. I gotta see your form. I don't I somehow because you're sitting, I don't think you're actually working triceps. Well, I'm not working triceps because I don't have any weights right now. I was just trying to get the motion in.
But that's what I'm saying. You're not in a in the right position to be able to do the right form for triceps if you're sitting down. What's your tricep workout sitting down? Nothing? Yeah.
Exactly. I don't know how to help you. It's no. We'll work on it tomorrow. Tomorrow is tricep Thursday.
I'm putting it in the calendar so I can remember. Bring weights. Tricep Thursday. If you wanna join along, let's do it. Great.
I was reading something. We talked a little bit about pickled okra. Ah, yes. I think my phone was listening because I stumbled upon an article that said, when you've finished your jar of pickles Yes. Don't dump the leftover brine Right.
Down the drain because you can reuse it. That's right. You can pickle things in it. You can pickle things with it. It's like, why bother making a new, like, sourcing your dill, garlic, and coriander seeds?
It's already done. So Do you know what coriander is? No. Go on. No?
It's cilantro seeds. Oh, you told me this the other day. I just learned that. Thumbs up, bud. Neat.
It is neat. You can pickle any vegetable you have in your fridge. Did you also know this? You can pickle eggs. Those aren't a vegetable.
You can pickle that. You can pickle pigs' feet. People do that. That's meat. Gross.
Pickle the meat. Okay. So your unused unreused brine What's that mean? So if you have your brine, your pickle juice K. We'll just call it pickle juice.
Pickle juice. Good. Yeah. We're good. Your if you keep that Uh-huh.
And don't reuse it for something else, it will go bad after about a month or so. But you can you can put anything in there. If you wanna put carrots in there, great. Peppers, great. Tomatoes, onions.
Oh, pickled peppers. What's that like? I bet delicious. I'll have to ask that guy. Peter Piper?
He knows a little bit about them. You can scrub your vegetables like you wanna wash them. Alright. Yeah. That makes sense.
You wanna put clean ones in there. Yeah. And then you wanna heat the brine on the stove, put it get it to a nice simmer. Mhmm. And then you'll heat up the veggies so that they can more easily absorb the flavors.
Uh-huh. Then if you wanna give it a little extra kick Okay. Then you'll throw in some chili flakes or dried Italian herbs. And then you pour the liquid over the veggies in the jar, cool it on the countertop, and put it right in the fridge. Okay.
After a few hours, you get a nice light pickle. Okay. And then Save that. You leave that. Of steps I'm not gonna remember, so I'm gonna need that when I'm when it's time.
I have saved it, but here's the problem. You saved a screenshot? Yeah. You can't search your screenshots? Yes.
I can. I've done it before. You just have to scroll until you find it. That's not searching it. You can't type pickle and then have it pull up what you need.
Yes. I can. Nope. I'll forget about it. Yeah.
But guess what? You can just search pickle brine, and it'll bring it back up. Super. I'm excited. I yeah.
I mean, we don't have okra, so we can't do that. But But you can pickle anything is what I'm saying. And you can reuse the pickle juice. Yep. Recycle, reduce, reuse.
Okay. Let's get one of those big jars. K. And we'll just collectively, if anybody finishes pickles, you can bring over your pickle juice and dump it into our jar. And then we can do that big thing in, like, the big pickles and the eggs.
I don't want Get them all swimming around in there. You can stir it with your whole hand. I don't want just anybody's leftover pickle juice. Why? Why do you want leftover people's the A community pickle?
The reason that I that I thought we would need the big community pickle juice jar is because we are not going to produce enough pickle juice to fill that jar quick enough. Why do we need a big jar? So you can stir with your arm. Get the big pickles and the eggs in there. You know?
And the garlic. The pickled garlic cloves Oh. Those are so good. Okay. Two things.
One, I'm just I'm not gonna use a big jar because I'm not gonna pickle eggs. I'm not. Okay. What about one of those, like, sun tea sized jars? Bring it down a notch from the big jar.
I thought you were I thought I thought the sun tea jar was your big jar. No. I was going big. Have you not seen the big, big jar? No.
The drive in movie theater pickle jar? That's a Suntie jar. No. It's bigger than that. It's much bigger than a Suntie jar.
Big time. No. Because we're we don't need it. I just I'm gonna keep the pickle jar, the regular size pickle jar. I'm a throw in some carrots.
I just Well, I can't. I'm growing carrots. Salt and vinegar carrots that I want to try. That too. You don't wanna try it?
I'll try it. I don't have a recipe for that one. But I've never had a pickled carrot, but I think I would like to try it. I think I would like that too. Let's try some carrots and some grilled cheese.
Beans. Those bush beans might be good. Dilly beans. That's what I'm saying. I like dilly beans.
We're gonna be a pickley household. We're getting the big jar. We're gonna Show them. What if we're known in the community as the pickle couple? I don't know if why are you excited about that?
Oh, here comes the pickle gang. I don't need that. No. Yes. I don't wanna be the pickle guys.
I do. I do. I so want to. Please. Why do you wanna be the pickle people?
It gets better every time you say it. The pickle couple is what I said. I know. Said pickle guys. That sounded cooler.
And then you said pickle people. That's the best one. I don't wanna be pickle people. I do. Why?
Because it sounds so good. Is not Peter. Peter Piper. Peter Piper. Hey.
Have you heard the pickle people in the morning? Oh, boy. I don't know if we're ready to be pickle people. Why are you so excited? You are their arms are excited.
You're really into pickle people stuff. I am pickle people club. We'll let anybody join. You can be part people Club. It's gotta start with a p.
Pickle people party. Oh, no. Oh, no. Stop. Quick question for you.
Yeah. When you're doing manly things What's like, what? Like shoveling stuff. Chopping wood. Yeah.
Alright. Stuff like that. Okay. What are well, let's get give me three more examples of manly stuff I do. Shoveling stuff.
Go ahead. Job and wood. No. I I added that one. I mean, I need more from you.
Lifting heavy things. Okay. Alright. That's all I could think about. Lifting heavy things, shoveling, and chopping wood, which I added.
Yeah. Okay. That's all manly stuff. Working on cars. Mostly physical stuff.
Physical stuff. Yeah. Getting things up and down from the, attic in the Yeah. Ladder. Sure.
That counts. Alright. When you do that kind of stuff Uh-huh. Do you ever think in your head for just even the briefest of second I I wonder Chantel's, like, watching. No.
That you're never ever ever you're like, do you ever try to, like, show off? Like, ugh. No. It's a good bicep move. No.
I do not. Never ever ever I have never ever been like, I should probably look really good while I'm doing this in case she's watching from a window or something. No. Oh, I don't either. I never do that.
Okay. When you're doing manly stuff, you like to show off your biceps while you're chopping wood. Is that what you're I'm real confused about what you're trying to say that you don't ever do that either. Yeah. I don't.
Not manly stuff where I'm concerned. Okay. But if I'm doing something, there's never ever a spot, never a chance where I think, oh, I wonder if Josh is thinking that I look cool doing this. I don't know. I don't do that either.
Never. Uh-huh. Give me an example. I feel like this might have happened recently. No.
No. No. No. I was, like, watching you do something, like, physical. Yeah.
And I was like, oh, hello. Okay. I was like, oh, 10 out of 10. Would marry again. Okay.
And then I thought, I wonder if he's, like, flexing on purpose. Like, to show up doing that was flexy? Well, it was when we got stuck in the snow. Oh. So it wasn't necessarily as doing anything, remotely I know.
To to be attractive. Not that specific time. But then it just made me think in my brain. I wonder if there's ever a time Uh-huh. When he's chopping wood, and he's like, I wonder if Chantel's watching.
No. Oh, sorry. You could. I wouldn't mind. I I'll just chop the wood, and you can just watch I do watch.
That's fine. I'm not gonna put on a show. Okay. I'll just do the job that needs to get done. And if that's enough, great.
Good for you. Okay. I oogle sometimes. It's my right. I'm allowed.
Okay. I mean, if you had, like, a shirt that you needed me to wear or something, that'd be weird too. If you're like, here, put this on. Okay. Before before you go chop the wood, could you just wear this?
Like, that would be strange too. Like, I'd be like, no. I'm just gonna wear what I'm wearing. Those shorts are too short. It's never gonna be that.
It'd be cut off jeans. No. I'm like, no. I'm not gonna wear that. The tucked in flannel.
That's weird. Tucked in flannel? Why is it tucked in? Because I'm trying to make it gross. Oh.
Little short jean short cutoffs tucked in flannel with suspenders over the top. Suspenders is never a bad choice. Unless it's over the top of a tucked in flannel. Must buy. In short cut off shorts.
Gross. Yeah. Why are you trying to make this weird? No. It's just because that's that's what I like, you you look out in the backyard, and I'm wearing that.
And you go, nah. No. See? That's that's why. One out of 10.
Yeah. You go, oh. Oh. What happened? And then I go, well, you asked me to wear this.
It's a whole thing. Never. Never would ask you to wear that. So, fun and gross. And gross.
Yeah. Don't wear that. Have you heard of affirmations? Yeah. These are, these are, like, words of affirmation that you can give yourself or these are, your love language, where people tell you that you're doing a good job.
Yeah. So sometimes those are beneficial and beneficial and helpful and encouraging and motivating. Yeah. I just stumbled across a book called disappointing affirmations. Alright.
So if you need, like, maybe positive affirmations are not working and you need maybe a swift kick in the rear I see. These are your negative, negative affirmations. Disappointing. Okay. I like the word disappointing rather than negative.
Alright. Be proud of yourself for how far you've come, especially considering that you've only ever done the bare minimum. There it is. It's okay if you aren't where you wanted to be by now. Your goals have always been unrealistic.
Oh, boy. Wow. Do you feel like these are helpful? No. I mean, look.
If you if you're somebody who, is not an affirmation person Nice. And and this is the motivation you need, then great. That's what I'm saying. But it's not that I feel better when it's like, hey. Hey.
Good job, bud. You're doing so good. Yeah. This is the saddest one. Oh, no.
No one is coming to save you. You are the adult. I'm so sorry. Gross. I know.
What? Yuck. You're doing the best that you can, which is pretty sad. These are just rude. Some of these, like, hey.
Maybe try harder. You know? Like, it's not the hang in there. It's the maybe get up and do something. Things didn't work out for a reason, and the reason is because you make terrible decisions.
Wow. K. Last one. Ready? Alright.
Last disappointing affirmation. Don't be sad. You're making everyone uncomfortable. Oh, yeah. There you go.
That one works on a lot of levels for a lot of people. How's that make you feel? Uncomfortable Yeah. And more sad. Right.
But also Disappointed. You're making everyone awful. Like, this is great. Wow. Yeah.
I don't care for that. Okay. I'm I'm the other side. I like the positive positivity? I don't need the negative slash disappointing affirmations.
I like the positive ones. You're doing the best you can, which is pretty sad. Which is still not enough. Okay. But at least you're trying.
There you go. But maybe try better. Try a little more. Hey, bud. Yeah.
Just a little more oomph. How's about we ask that question we ask every day around this time? It's would you rather this or that? Mother's Day edition. Alrighty.
But it works for dads too. Okay. Would you rather relive your child's first steps or their first I love you? Aw. I think I'm gonna go with I love you.
That's a big deal. There's a voice mail that I've kept for years and years and years of Emery saying I love you. Yeah. That's a little tiny shit. She was at my sister's house, and Yeah.
We were I don't remember where we were anyway. But she said, I love you. Yep. So it's a precious one. It's a good one.
Yeah. It wasn't the first one. I'm trying to I'm trying to remember, like, when the first one ever even happened. Me too, and I can't. I mean, first steps are pretty cool too, but there is something about that.
That's a little special moment. I'm thinking about it. I love you. Yeah. That's a that's a pretty special thing, and I don't remember that as much as, like, I remember, like, the toddling and the, like, trying to get up and the silly scooting and everything else.
Like, that stuff because it goes on for longer. But I don't remember the very first idea. The first I it's harder to remember Becks because we didn't have a camera as readily available as I did with Emery. But her first steps, I have a video of her, and she's so mad at me because I had her she was a pacifier. Oh, that's right.
And I was trying to get her to walk, and I had That was the carrot. The the dangling carrot. Yeah. I remember that. Yeah.
She kept getting up and falling down and getting up and falling down, and then she got so mad, and she just sat down and started screaming at me. And I was like, alright. That's cool. Yeah. I I'm with you.
I agree. It's gonna be, revisiting the first. No. That's what I love. Moment.
Yep. Good one. Would you rather this or that? It was announced, earlier this morning. The Utah hockey club has officially, got a name.
They've had this, kinda running around in, like, a contest type format, for people to vote on. But, officially, the Utah hockey club will next season and from now on be known as the Utah mammoth. They're promo mammoths. Nope. Singular.
Oh. Utah mammoth. Just one mammoth? I believe it works like moose. Oh, mammoth.
A herd of mammoth. Herd of mammoths? Nope. No west. It's the Utah mammoth.
They they put out a promo video on all their socials, earlier this morning, and it's it's intense. It's cool. Whoever did the videography for that thing, made some money, because there's a lot that went into that thing to do the storytelling that they did and, and to do some of the, like, extreme filming that they had to do, rappelling in caves and all kinds of cool stuff. It's a cool, cool video. Son is a big fan, so he's been kinda following along with this.
And he they had in the runnings, like, outlaw. Mhmm. And we weren't Well, the fan of that one. Really headed toward Yeti for a long time. They were going to be like, that was, like, a clear leader in popularity, and YETI was gonna be the thing.
There were some conflicts with YETI. Yeah. Like the backyard industry. Right? There were some conflicts with the Yeti cooler company because they have patented so much in the Yeti space that the that it sort of blocked them from being able to do that.
Like, you can't patent that. Well, apparently, you can trademark pretty much anything. And, and so it wasn't going to be either cost effective or it was gonna be too much of a battle, to try to do anything. So they said we're not gonna do the Yeti. And then they the mammoth.
The the mammoth is cool. And they have a tusks up thing. Tusks up. Which I think that looks tough. Yeah.
It is very cool. It's a very, very cool mascot. And they've got like, they've they've revealed the logo, the jerseys, the color scheme, a couple of different branding things, flags, and different stuff that people can get. And it I think it's pretty cool. They work the Wasatch Mountain Range into the into the logo of the mammoth.
They have one that's just the u for Utah with the tusk poking through. That's a cool look. There it's pretty good pretty good. That's like And they did keep, so right now, just as Utah hockey club, they just have Utah across the front. And I'm glad that they kept it with Utah rather than going to, like, the Salt Lake something.
They went straight up with the whole state, just Utah, across the chest. They still have that on the uniform even though they have the mammoth parts. So there's a couple different things they're doing, which I think is great. So Isn't it wild that three years ago, there was, like, no hockey even close? Yeah.
No. No. We have the spudgings, and we've got the Utah mammoths. And Yeah. Mammoth.
No s. I'll always call it mammoths. Always. I know. I know that about you.
It will you will always say mammoths. Hey. You guys wanna go see the mammoths? Nope. And I'll mostly do it just because I know it'll annoy our son.
Yeah. It's it's pretty, it's pretty out there with your s. Anyway Cool. I'm I'm digging it. I'm digging all this hockey stuff.
Yeah. There is a lot. And and this is NHL, which is kinda cool to have it right here. There's huge renovations going on right now at the Delta Center as well, in Salt Lake that because there are some seats that don't have a good view. And so they're doing some major, renovations in the stadium right now.
What do they do they call it a hockey field, a hockey court, a hockey what is it called? The ice arena. The ice arena. Yeah. You wanna go to the ice arena to see the hockey game?
That's what you say? Sure. And then you say mammoth without an s. I'm gonna say, do you wanna go to the court to see the mammoths? Let's go let's go to the, frozen court to see the mammoths.
Come on. Anyway, kinda cool. I I like that they've made a decision. I like the decision that they've made. I think it's I think it's a cool reveal, and I'm excited to, to eventually go watch the Mammoth play.
I think it's gonna be awesome. And that And that is gonna be yet. Yet's yet for us. That wraps up our show for today. Have a great rest of your day.
We'll be back tomorrow morning bright and early on tricep Thursday. Oh, yeah. I put it on the calendar. Did you? We're gonna do some triceps.
I bet we still forget. No. I'm not. What are you doing? Practicing.
That's not triceps. I don't know what exercise you're doing, but that is not it. You're never gonna get your triceps. You're going to if I've got a bad attitude surrounding me. Will I?
Here we go. I need support. See you tomorrow. Check out the podcast everywhere it's available, and, yeah, we'll play again tomorrow morning. Alright.
