I don't know where this happens. Where does this happen? I don't know. I gotta find out. Where's bonfire night happen?
You don't have Oh. You can't participate. You don't have a rebellious spirit. You don't know what I have. I don't know what you have.
This is in the UK. This has to do with, the 5th November. And the line goes, remember remember the 5th November, gunpowder treason and plot, which is, part of, well, what became v for Vendetta and Guy Fawkes and all that other stuff. Anyway, Guy Fieri? It's gun nope.
Different one. Oh. Gunpowder Day is, is what it's celebrating. So Gunpowder Day gets wrapped up with bonfire night in the UK. That's a that's a big deal.
Hey. It's, National Love Your Red Hair Day. I used to have red hair. Fake red hair, but it was still red hair. It was good.
It was it was good. I liked myself with red hair. K. K. It is Chinese takeout day.
Oh. That sounds yummy. That sounds like perfection. Now everyone's gonna take it out, though, and now like, yeah. That does sound good.
Now we won't ever get Chinese takeout because it'll be too busy. No. It'll be fine. American Football Day? Yeah.
Whatever. Why today? I don't know. There was a stupid game last night. Alrighty.
This particular, thing celebrating the first official football game in the United States, playing played between Rutgers College and the team from Princeton College, both schools located in New Jersey. And now there's a lot more Does it say what year that was played? In the late 1800. Yeah. How about that?
Actually had leather helmets. I don't know if they even wore those. It was kind of a it was kind of inspired by rugby. Right? Yeah.
The original ball was round, and the rule stated that it could not be picked up or carried, and there were 25 players on the team at a time. That's a lot of people. And you can't pick it up by carry it. Yeah. You said to kick it.
Kick it around. Which is kind of how rugby worked, but then rugby had a hold it and run with it kind of thing involved too. So they were just kicking around. They were kinda like, what if we can find soccer and rugby? Making up their own rules.
They were making it up in the late 1800. Which is how games are started. Yeah. Bunch of people are like, hey. You wanna play this weird game I got just thought of?
And then 2 colleges went, let's play against each other. Let's see. And each brought 25 people. Everybody on the field at once. Yeah.
Chaos. So that's, that's what's going on. That's really it. The most important thing is that it's election day. So get out there and vote and exercise them rights.
You know? Woo hoo. Woo hoo. Happy Tuesday. Oh, it's me.
Hello. Hi. Good morning. There you are. There is a new, trend that's going around for naming your baby.
What is it? It is your best friend's dad. Well, that's interesting. So, basically, you take the name of your best friend's dad, and you go, does this work for a little girl? And if it does, blammo.
Interesting. So my best friend's name's dad. He is What? He's my best friend's name. My best friend's dad's name.
I liked it the other day. Best friend's name is dad. Yeah. He is Basque. So his name is Spanish in Basque.
So his name is Andreas. Andreas. Yeah. He goes by Andy. Sure.
It would that Andy would work for a little girl. Yes. It would. It also would work for a little boy. But, Andreas, for a little white kid I think it's funny.
Like, it's a it's a cute little name. What's your best friend's name? Bob. Your best friend's dad's name? Yeah.
Bob? That's my dad's name. No. Uh-uh. No way.
No way. That's nice, Josh. The the way you discovered. Oh, wait. I was trying to figure out who your best friend was.
I discovered it. You did it. You did it. Good job to me. Well done.
Who's your best friend name's dad? Best friend's name's dad. Mhmm. So in Massachusetts, there's a town that's called, Drakut or Drakut. Drakut.
Anyway You got it. Over the last 30 years, they have relied upon a fire truck that was built in 1993, which doesn't seem that old, but it is. 1993? Yeah. I was 12.
No. You're okay. The truck was 0 in 1993. You're 12 years older than this truck. Okay.
K? So it's called an e one pumper. Okay. This this fire truck, and it is now considered obsolete by National Fire Protection Association standards. Because it's so old.
Because it's so old. Rude. Yeah. And it has to be replaced by a new pumper truck that meets the updated standards. Well, the old fire truck, it still works, and it's in great shape because I don't know if you've seen, fire trucks get well maintained.
Yes. Like, very well maintained. It's important. And, and so this fire department in Massachusetts is going to send this 1993 fire truck to a fire department in the Dominican Republic Okay. That doesn't have one.
Oh. Because they just don't. So they're gonna send them this fire truck. I I wanna know about the logistics involved in getting that on a boat. Yeah.
And then, or maybe they're gonna fly it there in a big cargo, plane. I don't know. They they fly tanks and trucks all over the place in some of these military planes. That's true. Holy smokes.
One way or another, they're getting this fire truck this too. To the Dominican Republic, which is cool. The fire department in Massachusetts had pre previously donated other firefighting equipment to this same fire department, including some protective gear that is no longer able to be used in the US. But this donation takes things up a whole new level and will go a long way toward helping the fire department in the Dominican Republic, keep its community safe. And I think that's very cool.
That's great. It's a great functional fire truck, built in 1993. It's, it's gonna be decommissioned in the US and, gonna continue to live out its life as a fire truck Still got some service left in it. In the Dominican Republic. I think that's very cool.
So they'll probably send a couple firefighters over, show them how to use everything. That'd be a fun trip. It would be a fun trip. That Yeah. Can we come along?
Yeah. I'd go check out the Dominican Republic. That'd be cool. Wanna know how a fire truck works. Do you?
Yeah. For real? Yes. I bet we could arrange that. That'd be cool.
You could learn how a fire truck works? Yes. I we know people. We do know people. Hey.
You could run a hose. You could do the whole thing. Would be awesome. I bet you I bet you don't know how much pressure comes out of that hose when you start opening that valve. I bet I don't.
You better have some sturdy shoes on. You better have some bracing. Yeah. Can't be wearing flip flops that day. I don't wear flip flops.
But you really can't wear them that day. Okay. I won't. You have boots. So when you fly back, your boots don't fly off.
I'm gonna put a mattress behind you so you have some crash pad. That's a smart idea. Because you're gonna I know. That's what's gonna happen. It's good news to get you going.
This past weekend was a to do. It was a list of to dos. We had a lot of things we needed to get done. Here's what I noticed. You had in your idea in your head your own ideas of things that needed to get done.
You had a list of your things. And in my head, I had a list of my things that needed to be done. And you and I and this is the problem every time we get in an argument. It's because we've just not miscommunicated or we've miscommunicated. Okay.
We've not communicated properly. So you had an idea in your mind of things that needed to get done, and you were like, oh, Chantel's gonna help me with this. And I said, in my brain, I have a list of things I need to get done. Josh is gonna be busy doing his own things. I see.
So So when when I said, hey. I need your hand on this, and I was pulling you away from your project list Yeah. You did not enjoy that. Is that what you're saying? Yeah.
Yeah. And and yet I still help pull out the fridge. You got crazy in the kitchen. You pulled out the stove and the fridge I did. And cleaned underneath and on the sides of the stove and the fridge and the cupboards easily where all the worst jobs falls in.
It's not a great job. It's not a great job, and it's been way too long since I've done that. I try to do that more regularly than I have been. That was deep cleaning. It was some deep cleaning, but I didn't get to all of the deep cleaning that I wanted to get done because I was helping you with projects, which is fine because your projects contributed to the overall I had to put stuff in the attic, so I needed you to hand me some bins.
Not. Listen. Hold on. I know. You had to you helped me go to the dump Yeah.
Which which was good because I needed help at the dump. Yeah. Because I had big heavy stuff to throw away, that needed 2 people. What else did you help me do? We did the side of the house with all the cardboard to load into the trailer.
We did that over the day before we went to the dump. Yeah. We put all of the summer stuff in the shed and brought out all the winter stuff. Yeah. And Beck and I did a bunch of that, but there was there was you were there.
You were definitely there. We took the trailer out and dropped our trailer off in the storage. We winterized that and put that away for the winter. So, yeah, it was a lot of no. I don't wanna say they're your projects because it benefits me too.
But Sure. In the middle of me doing stuff, you're like, hey. Can you come help me with this? And I went, yes. The trailers put away for the winter, drove up, yesterday, to drop off Emery at home, and she said the yard looks weird.
It does look weird. She's like, it looks really weird. You can see the neighbors because our trailer is not blocking the view. Right. The the yard looks weird.
I don't like it. The yard looks weird. I also when we were dropping off our trailer, I got really sad because we didn't we didn't get out camping enough this year, and it makes me really sad. It's winterized, but it still has a furnace. So it literally we could go pull it and we can camp in the snow.
I know. But you know that I don't do that. But you can. I can. Absolutely, I can.
I just don't want to. Okay. You're going camping this weekend. I know. Blah.
No. Thank you. Have fun. What? I'll be home safe and warm.
See, you do this, and then I go, I don't wanna stay home safe and warm. That sounds nice. It does sound nice. You can. I well, I got, like, our responsibilities.
You could come camping. No. I'm gonna stay home safe and warm. But you could come camping. Could.
I don't want to. Rude. I was just reading a thing that there was a 80 year old woman who said the key to life is saying no to things. Oh, is that right? Yep.
Say no to safe and warm. No. No. That's exactly what I wanna do. Or come camping with me.
No. And give up my safe and warm Yeah. And get out of here. Alright. So there is a debate.
There's lots of debates of people who say, no Christmas till after Thanksgiving or directly after Halloween, Christmas shows up. And I'm here to say, it doesn't matter. If you want Christmas in your house, do it. If you don't, don't. It doesn't matter.
It doesn't. Guy who put up his Christmas tree mid October lives in an apartment, and, he ran his Christmas lights around the inside of his living room around the ceiling because he doesn't have a way to decorate outside. So he really brought all the festivity inside. Put his tree up mid October. He's like, I love it.
Just do it. I mean, if you're into it, go for it. Don't let anybody hate on you. Don't let anybody hate on you. Yeah.
We, in our house, I don't like to put up Christmas until after Thanksgiving. Right. But that's not to say we had for Halloween, I had some floating LED candles. Sure. And I loved it.
It was all down the hall and in the living room, and I had some twinkly lights, some purple twinkly lights in the window. Mhmm. And when I took all that down, it was kinda depressing. So I almost wanna put up some lights just to get, like, that ambiance. That energy back in there.
Yeah. I got it. I understand why people would wanna put up Christmas because what's not to love about Christmas lights? Twinkly lights are the best. I don't know.
There are people that'll tell you it's, like, it's after Christmas. Throw your tree out in the lawn. Like Yeah. I know. Christmas morning, they're like, we're done.
Here's the thing. Who cares? It doesn't. It's not your house. Nobody's making you do or do not do anything.
Do whatever you wanna do, and don't throw shade. Yeah. Leave your tree up all year if you want. We did that before. No.
We didn't. Your mom did. Yeah. And she would change the decorations. Yeah.
She would decorate for the It's a Easter tree, and it's a Valentine's tree. It was cute. Yeah. Why not? Who cares?
Right? Do your own thing. If you want Christmas now, go get it. Go do it. Go have it.
No sense in wait. Today's your day. I was looking at a video the other day of somebody decorating for Christmas, and I went, if you have that much stuff and it takes you that long to decorate, obviously, you're gonna wanna leave it up for longer than a month anyway. I saw this guy who was changing the decorations from Halloween on his big fancy porch to Christmas, and the amount of stuff that he had to take down and put up just for the entryway of the house. I was like, man.
Man. I mean, his covered patio was bigger than our living room. And this huge pumpkin arch thing that he had over the doors, he had to disassemble. It's like PVC pipe run through pumpkin pails. He had, like, those totes we have, the big black and yellow ones.
Yes. He had 4 totes just of pumpkins Just for the edge. From that arch. That's a lot. Straw bales.
He was taking down skeletons. He had things hung on a fan they have out there on this patio. Where do you store all that stuff? I have no idea. That gives me anxiety.
Probably in the 4 car garage with the loft above it. That's where. We don't have a If his entry weighs as big as our living room, he's got Yeah. He's got a 4 car garage with a loft to store all of his decorations in. Unreal.
Saw I saw a woman who is a lot of people in her comments because she put up her Christmas tree. And a lot of people in her comments were, like, how could you? Thanksgiving needs to be celebrated. And she said, I love Thanksgiving. I will absolutely celebrate Thanksgiving, but I'm also gonna do it with my twinkly Christmas lights.
Yeah. You do you. Because who cares? Who? The who's.
That's who. The who will who's. Oh, the who's would be decorating. That's what I'm saying. They don't wait till after the who hash and the They don't.
Who beast or whatever it's called. A who beast? What's what's the beast beast? Beast. If they'd make a who beast, that's cannibalism.
Is it? Who is this beast? Oh, it's a who beast. It's the who beast. Yesterday was daylight savings.
Well, the day after So they they it's saving. It's singular. And I and I savings. I thought so too, and then I learned a little bit. What are you talking about?
So all my life, including this year, I have called it daylight savings It is daylight savings. Not. It's it's singular. Daylight saving. Daylight saving.
What a stupid thing that is. I know. It's Daylight Saving Time. Okay. Okay.
Daylight Saving Time, also referred to as Daylight Savings Mhmm. Daylight Time or Summertime. Yeah. Depending on where you live. I'm gonna keep calling it daylight savings.
No. I'm sure you and a whole bunch of other people will. I just thought that, like, I found that out, and I I was kind of grossed out. Gotta change your clocks for Daylight Saving Time. Sounds like it's missing an s.
And I wonder if it's Daylight Saving, but if you say Daylight Savings Time, do you see It's still saving time. Saving time? Daylight saving time. DST, daylight saving time. Because you're saving the daylight.
I guess. I guess too. For who? I didn't know. Because it's dark when I get here, and it's dark when I leave.
So who am I saving it for? I thought I was doing pretty well when I woke up yesterday morning. I was like, I don't feel tired. I feel well rested. But throughout the entire day, I felt disjumbled.
Disjambited. Word? I'm gonna look up disjumbled. That's a word. Disjumbled.
Disjointed. Jumble? What's disjumble? Why you gotta be like this? Look.
If I'm learning about daylight saving time, I better learn about disjumble. I think that's a Chantel-ism. It doesn't matter. I'm just gonna say it. It makes sense.
It doesn't matter. Felt disjumbled myself all day. I know. Right? Just the whole day.
And then, like, as though day wore on, I was like, what is wrong? Like, I just felt ick. Yeah. And then we went to bed Yeah. At 9 o'clock.
I could have gone to bed early. You actually were asleep in bed. It was probably about 8:30 when you were asleep in bed. Sounds good. And I was also laying there watching TV, and I said, oh, why are we doing like, let's just go to bed.
Why are we waiting until bedtime? If we're tired, let's go to bed. I went in and put the dog to bed, said good night to Emery, and she said, you're going to bed? I go, yeah? Yeah.
Because it's not even 9 o'clock. I went, yeah. So so I was not feeling myself last night. It was weird. I did get a text.
We were getting texts from Beck yesterday while he was at work. He was giving us updates on the football game that I didn't care to watch. I didn't I didn't have any team players or anything to to watch for my fantasy or anything. So I said, yeah. Who wants to watch that game?
So he asked if we were watching the game, and Emery said, no. They went to bed. They old, bro. That's great. How rude.
Well, it's not untrue. It's not untrue. 9 o'clock, we're tucked in bed. Sounds good. I could get real used to that.
You could? Yep. Well, let's try it again tonight. Do you feel more rested this morning? Yes and no, but not particularly like, I'm not like, wow.
What a spring in my step. You're not just rip roaring to go? I mean, I have been. I've been I've been rip roaring and go for 2 hours. So, you know, you do what you gotta do.
I really haven't seen any rip roaring from you. Just been casually roaring. Yeah. Casually humming. Humming along?
Yeah. Yeah. That's fine. I'll do I'll do what I do. Sounds good.
They always say the 3rd day is the worst. That's tomorrow. Yeah. It would be tomorrow. Tomorrow would be day 3 of getting used to daylight saving time.
Ugh. Good luck to all of us. Yeah. We're gonna make it. I just know it.
Or is today day 3? Because if it happened on Sunday, Sunday might be Tuesday. Notice it's Sunday. I did. You did?
Yeah. Only because you actually had to take the big clock off the wall and change it. Is that when you noticed? We I used to have a clock wall, an entire wall of clocks, and it has been taken down because we're gonna paint that wall. Right.
But every time daylight saving happens Yes. I hated those clocks. I hated that clock on those. Twice a year, set clocks back. Well, and the amount of double a batteries that you go through, almost as many as the, triple a's that you went through with your candle lights all Halloween.
Just leave it until the next daylight saving. Saving? Ugh. I know it's too bad. Bad.
Saving. Saving. Yeah. Just leave it as right. I mean, just tell everybody these may or may not be accurate.
The clocks? Yeah. That's what I said. I'm gonna put aside this clock wall. Check your watch.
It's either an hour ahead or an hour behind. Or maybe they're not even set right to begin with. Yeah. They they look cool. They're set they're set to the right time somewhere.
Maybe. Yeah. Maybe. Could be 15 minutes early or late. Could be an hour or 2.
Yeah. Good luck with those clocks. Polls officially open as of right now. So They did open. Go vote.

I saw this video yesterday, and it really encompasses, our life. Our life? Yes. What's up? So it's a woman recording her husband, and he's just calmly walking.
And she says, my husband's superpower is that he's never in a rush. He does everything slowly. He walks slowly. He drives slowly. He goes to the restroom slowly.
Where is his anxiety? This one says he eats slowly. You don't eat slowly. You're a fast eater. That's the one thing you do fat you're a fast driver, but I I got places to be.
I don't like being, you know, stuck in traffic. Right. I think that's awful. I'm not saying, like, this is she says he's moving slowly. You're not a slow mover.
You get things done. That's not to say you don't get things done or you're not in a hurry to get places. But you just are like, yeah. Well, it is what it is. We'll get there when we get there.
That's true. It'll get done when it's done. That's it takes as long as it takes. It's one of my big pieces of advice I did it. For everybody that ever wanted a piece of advice.
It is yours. Long as it takes. Superpower. Is it? I it is because there are lots of times when I'm like, we gotta get.
Like, I'm riddled with anxiety constantly, and you're like, speak old. Just chill out. I'm like, okay. Okay. You're a very calming influence Have some of this for my anxiety.
Give me some. I wish I could eat some of that. Like a it's like a little dust, a little sprinkle of glitter. Here. Have some of that.
Calm down. Drink drink some water. Oh, yeah. Hydrate. Okay.
Take a breath. Okay. Okay. Settle down. What are you all worked up about?
You do that. I don't know. We need to start counting how many times you say that to me a day. Did I just say settle down? I don't.
Calm yourself. Take a breath. Your sister has a tattoo that says breathe on her arm. Yes. You're the same person.
And all the time, everyone around her goes, read your tattoo. Just breathe. I am breathing. I'm microventilating. I'm breathing so much.
Read it slower. Breathe. Breathe. What'd you get that tattoo for? To remind yourself to do something you're subconsciously capable of, or what did you mean mean it to relax?
Breathe. Calm down. How does how does one have no anxiety? What's it like to live with no anxiety? I guess You think I have no anxiety.
That's the that's the fun part. I just don't outwardly express it. You don't show you're crazy? No. How do you just see that?
How do you hide your crazy? I don't hide it. I just don't show it. How do you not show you're crazy? Public display.
Don't run around going, the sky is falling. I'm late. Like, you got you got chicken little. You got the white rabbit because you're late Yes. All the time.
Yep. I'm running late. I'm running late. I'm running late. Why?
Where you gotta be? I don't know. Where you gotta be that somebody you're gonna walk in and they aren't gonna be like, hey. I'm glad you made it here safely. Now look.
I understand you gotta be places on time. I understand punctuality. I understand it's it's impolite to make people wait. Yes. That's not what I'm suggesting.
I'm not saying dilly dally throughout your day. I'm just saying if you're gonna be 2 minutes later than expected, it's probably okay. It is gonna be okay. It's all gonna be okay. Just breathe, hydrate, and relax a little bit.
That's all. Do you have any snacks? A snack would help. Have a peanut M and M. Do you have a cup?
Not on me. Aw. What are you good for? I'm not your vending machine. I'll tell you that.
Why did I marry you then? Rude. What do you consider old people food? Old people food? So I asked our kids.
Oh, no way. You did research? I did. Okay. What old people food do I eat that they think is not good?
You. It's just I said, what do you consider old people food? Fig Newtons. They both said chicken fried steak. A 100%.
Emery said Bec said automatically, chicken fried steak. Yeah. And then Emery said, what's that thing that grandma eats Yep. With the gravy? Fried steak.
That is yeah. That is a food that she will look for on every menu. Yes. And if it is not available, she gets a little frustrated. But if we go out to eat somewhere and they have chicken fried steak, you know she's ordering it.
And then I said, okay. Anything else? Emery said, brussels sprouts, mashed potatoes and gravy, any kind of Thanksgiving food, rolls, pumpkin pie. Thanksgiving food is old people food. Okay.
I can see that. Said. I could see where you should feel like that. What about, like, snacks? Beck said Fig Newtons Yeah.
Now and Laters, black licorice, butterscotch. Yeah. All of my favorite things. And Diet Coke. Diet Coke's an old people snack.
That's funny. That's rude. I think he just said that one to cut me down. Because you love Diet Coke. Emery said hard candies, caramels, and mints.
Yeah. Okay. Those are all old people. That's old people candies. I wonder if she thinks about, like, snacks, though.
Like, she immediately went to candies, and I wonder if if there's a snack in there she feels as old people. You know what would be fun is if we put together a list of all the things they like and said this is old people. This is old people food. Old people food. They don't eat anything.
Chips, old people food. The only yeah. That's the only thing he ever eats. Salt and cheese. Cheese, old people food.
I think Beck's main diet right now is Taco Bell. So Old people food. Have a vegetable. Yeah. Try that.
Vegetables, old people food. Yeah. We'll see who's we'll see who's gonna live longer Yeah. Won't we? When you go to lift up a wheelbarrow and your arms pop off.
Have milk. Old people food. Hey. We're not drinking enough milk in our house either, I've noticed. I've had to dump out a couple of half gallons because they've been expired.
Where why isn't anybody drinking milk in our house? I don't know. I ran out of chocolate chip cookies, so it's not my fault. I was I was having glasses of milk with chocolate chip cookies, and my waistline knows it. So let's not bring that back.
Well, then just have a glass of milk. Nope. Why? Because it's so good with cookies, warm cookies. Just imagine that you're having a cookie.
Nah. It's not the same. Then I'm just wasting milk. We're I'm just throwing money down the drain. They're cereal.
The kids are eating cereal. They're not. They're not. Do they know we have cereal? Yes.
Nobody's eating food in our house. It's not true. It is true. And we just ate food in the house last night. People are eating food in the house, just not milk.
Or cereal. But just buy the half gallon then. Or the vegetables. I threw out a cucumber yesterday because nobody ate it. Oh, that's too sad.
I know. I'm just throwing away. Forgot we had that cucumber. That cucumber was probably really good. I bet it was.
Should've eaten it. I should've. It's all soggy. I don't like it when they get like that. They should not do that.
Teach the vegetables to not do that. Quit getting soggy. There's carrots in there too. I don't particularly care for carrots. You don't like carrots?
Them cooked. I don't like to just chomp on carrots. Why? I don't like them. I don't like to say dirt.
I like them cooked and in stuff. I just don't I don't like grabbing a carrot out of the fridge and chomping on it. Interesting. Yeah. I don't like that.
I don't know this about you. Well, you do now. I do. I know. The old people carrots.
I know. I'm an old person. Diet Coke and carrots. Yeah. Look at you go.
Drag a carrot through some hummus. I don't mind that. That's what I packed for lunch today. I had carrot hummus. Did you put carrots and carrot hummus?
Let's do it with carrot. I had a cucumber and carrot hummus. That's nice. The carrot hummus is a little bit spicy. Oh.
It was delicious. Okay. Good to know. Good to know. Alright.
You know what today is? What is today? Well, it's one day closer to winter. That's what it is. How dare you?
I I said I was talking to somebody yesterday, and she said, we're getting one day closer to spring. Well, there's that. That outlook better. Better. You're right.
Well, I I just, saw this, on eastidhohnews.com, and I wanted to share this. There are some driver winter driving classes that are being offered in Idaho Falls and Chubbock Oh. This week. So Thursday, day after tomorrow, at Rocky Mountain Middle School at the auditorium from 7 PM to 8:30 PM. This Thursday will be the one in Idaho Falls.
Chubbuck City Hall on November 12th, which is a Tuesday, a week from today, from 5:30 to 6 30. They'll be doing that in Chubbock, which is pretty cool. And, one of the guys from the Idaho Transportation Department, he's a spokesman named Justin Smith. He said every year we see people having accidents, particularly early in the winter, and this is a way to educate young drivers, new drivers, and people new to the area on how to manage driving in the snow. And I think this is a really cool thing.
So they'll have kind of a classroom setting set up, but they will have, representatives from the transportation department, the Idaho State Police, the Chubbock and Bonneville County law enforcement agencies, all teaming up to teach the classes, which will be kinda cool. So you'll be able to get yeah. Like, they've got stuff like, if you get stuck somewhere, what should you have in your car before you go out winter driving, how to handle, ice, you know, things about, you know, snowplows on the road. Like, there's so much information in there. I think it's really cool.
Yeah. And a lot of people should go to this. Yeah. Yes. A lot of people should go to this.
Including my own self. And it's free. So, again, it's happening Thursday, this Thursday, 7 PM to 8:30 PM at Rocky Mountain Middle School, which is on Ammon Road in, Idaho Falls, Ammon, whatever, and then November 12th on Tuesday, a week from today at Chubbuck City Hall from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM. Also, I saw today, this is kind of important, a section of the northbound Pocatello Creek on ramp will be closed, until late Friday. So that's happening, I believe, today through Friday.
They have this section of the freeway closed because they're this is the big interchange in Pocatello. Oh. And so, yeah, beginning this morning, and continuing until 5 PM Friday, approximately, the on ramp northbound I 15 from Pocatello Creek is closed because they're putting in the new one. They're putting in the new on ramp stuff. So, kind of a cool thing that that's getting further and further and further done, but that does affect your traffic.
So couple of driving things I wanted you to be aware of. Go take the winter driving course. It's free. Alright. I will.
Not I'm not yelling at you. No. I absolutely I think everyone could benefit from this. Whether you've been driving in the snow a short time or whether you've been driving in the snow for 40 plus years. Sure.
Everyone could use a refresher. Yep. And and it is coming. Winter driving will be here very soon. It's awful.
It's terrible. It does suck. And And the first couple of ones are the very worst because everyone just forgets how to do it. Correct. Lots of sliding around.
Even when you're not even trying. Like, I try to leave room. I go slow, and I still I I I always freaked out. I hate when they're driving. Some of us are just driving cars that are not made to drive in the snow.
Sometimes. So no matter how safe we are, our cars go, oh, I'm not made for this type of weather. Sometimes you should have snow tires. Sometimes we should have a husband that does that for us. Oh.
Oh. I'm not saying I can't do it myself. I'm just saying as part of our contractual marriage agreement. Oh, right. I'm in charge of cars.
Charge of the cars. Right. Right. Right. Right.
Right. Right. I get it. Loud and clear. Loud and clear.
Thanks. So you want snow tires? Is that what you're trying to tell me? Sure. It'd be fine.
Oh, what it would be helpful. If you want me to survive the winter driving, it might be nice. Mhmm. Mhmm. So unless you're trying to get my insurance money.
What are you talking about? No. No. I am not. You heard it here first.
Yeah. But I'm in it for insurance. I have I don't have insurance. Because nothing better than dealing with insurance. Ugh.
Alright. I got a game. Let's play a game. The game was called agree or disagree. Disagree.
Well, this is gonna end well. No. It's not. It's gonna be fine. I don't have, like, real hot topics.
Is it agree to disagree? No. No. No. No.
I'm gonna throw out a statement, and then you respond with agree or disagree. K? That's how that's how it's all there is to this game? All there is to it. Agree or disagree?
Agree or disagree. We'll start slow. Oh, great. Pineapple belongs on pizza. Disagree.
Agree. No. You said the thing. I have to agree or disagree. Also have to agree or disagree.
Oh, great. Can I play the game also? Well, I thought you were hosting the game. Well, I am, but I can also play. Alright.
So you agree with that statement. No. It's fine. We'll do it your way. Yeah.
I agree. Cold pizza is better than hot pizza. I disagree. I also disagree. Cold pizza is just as good.
No. It is not better. All movies should have subtitles. Agree. Texting is better than calling.
Disagree. What is a list of things you like that I don't? That's all this is. Tacos are better than burgers. Agree.
I'm on the fence. It depends. I neither disagree nor agree. Really? I like them both equal.
Equal. Equal parts. Because there's times I've had killer tacos and times I've had killer burgers, and there are times when both have flopped. And I would have said that burger I had was better than this taco. I can't I can't be so black and white.
That one's a gray area. Okay. I'm gonna agree because tacos are always better than burgers. Always. I disagree with you.
Let's see. TikTok is addictive. Well yeah. Agree. A 100%.
Social media in general is addictive. Right. Working on the weekend should be illegal. A 100%. Agreed.
Dogs are better than cats. Yep. Agreed. Now not to say cats are bad. I like to visit cats.
I would just rather live with a dog than live with a cat. Okay. That's all. Alright. People need time to do more hobbies.
Yeah. Agree. Who doesn't agree with that? Pumpkin spice is overrated. A 100%.
Agree. Not that great. People should use less plastic. Yep. Agree.
Well, then now you're getting all kinds all over the place. Let's see. We should write more letters. Okay. Why not?
Agree. And then mail them. Don't just write them. Like, oh, I wrote a letter. I wrote it.
Yeah. Okay. Last one. Ready? Oh, I'll do 2 more.
Apple pie is the best dessert. Wrong. Disagree. I like a good apple pie, but is it the best dessert? Nope.
No. I could think of a million other not a million, but maybe 10 other better dessert. There's a big difference between 101,000,000, like a lot. There's a there's a whole bunch of difference between that. Oh, here's another one.
I got 2 more. Okay. Music sounds better on vinyl. I don't know that I would agree. It certainly sounds warm, but I don't know that it sounds better.
I have no opinion. I can solve that for you. I will put on the vinyl record, and then I will put on the CD. Okay. And then I will put on the lossless, audio file Okay.
And let you hear the difference in the 3 medias Okay. Mediums. And, we'll see if you like I guarantee you're going to like the lossless audio file better. Okay. I'm I'm up for it.
Because it's how it was originally recorded and made to be played. Okay. Any particular song or artist? I'll look. I've gotta figure out what I have on vinyl.
Okay. I'll I'll look. Okay. Alright. Last one.
Ready? Where did it go? People talk too loud in public. Yeah. Agreed.
What's that about? Well, that was fun. Agree or disagree, the game. Can you buy that one for the holidays? No.
It sounds like you just get a list, and everybody sits around talking about what they like and don't like. But here's the tip. Don't make it too crazy. You don't wanna start any fights. Right.
Just keep it easy on election day. Yeah. Well, and even in the holidays. You know? You get the family together for the holidays, and you go, hey.
I got a game. We're gonna play agree or disagree. But keep it easy. Right. Keep it light.
Keep it light. You know? That's a good it's a fun game, but you gotta keep it keep it easy breezy. Breezy Yeah. Baby.
Oh, it's me. Hi again. How are you doing? What's going on? How's things?
Top of it today. I am a professional. What? Are you distracted by something today? What's going on?
Is there anything big in the world now? I was actually looking at the would you rathers. Oh, that's coming up in in just a couple of minutes. Trying to figure out what I was gonna would you rather. I see.
Well, let's talk about some trends. Talk about some trends. I was reading this article that said, what trend was here so fast and died so quickly that you can hardly call it a trend? Well, I heard the Internet's a fad. Oh, is it?
It won't stick around? No. When they first launched, it was like, the Internet's a fad. Oh, it won't stick. Yeah.
No way. Information superhighway. Remember when they used to call it that? Yes. What a bunch of weirdos.
In the nineties, do you remember as a growing up, like, we were kids at the nineties, kids walked around with pacifiers in their mouths? No. And they would have them dangling from their necks. You didn't see this? I saw that from, like, Raver Kids, but I didn't see that.
Like, I never saw it in in person. Raver Kids. I heard about it, but I never saw it. Yeah. The Raver Kids loved it.
Oh, I get it. I get it. Was also like, that was you know who wasn't your niece into that for a little while? I feel like that's the only time I saw it. I don't necessarily remember.
I don't remember that. Pretty sure. Okay. Yeah. That's probably the only time I saw it.
I think we missed that window. It's fine. It that's fine. I'm glad that's gone. Because we were born look.
We went we went through the the growing ages, 12 to whatever, early to mid nineties. Yeah. Right? Like, late eighties, early nineties is when we were going through let's have a childhood. So we weren't really like, we grew up in the nineties, but we were born in the eighties, you know?
So it's a little different. Okay. What about the trend when the poo emoji was on everything? Remember when the poo emoji was on everything? Pillows.
Everything? Little squishy things, and it was all over the place. Yep. Yeah. And then flash mobs?
Oh, flash mobs were cool, but, again, yeah. And people are still doing those, but it kinda took that was an Internet huge Internet thing. Briefly. So was the, the Harlem Shake. Oh, yeah.
That was a big thing for a little while. And then poof. And then, yeah, it just moves on. The Internet moves quick, though. Trends, like, come and go.
Like like, viral moments Yeah. Are happening every minute of the day. Fidget spinners. Oh, yeah. Those are fun.
Planking. Remember planking? I liked owling better or gargoyling, which was very similar. Let's bring some of these back. Yeah.
Just start doing the old vine trends. Yes. Yeah. The flappy bird game. Sure.
I was never any good at that thing. I never played it. But then didn't that game get banned? I think that game got banned from the Apple Store. Did it?
And there are phones that are selling online for a ton of money because they have Flappy Bird installed. No way. Yeah. You can't even download it now? I I think that happened.
I I really don't know. I didn't follow it that closely because it was an Apple thing, and I didn't care. So there's that. We're anti Apple. Whatever.
Use whatever phone you want. I don't really care. But Just don't bully people if they don't have a mug. That's right. I don't care if my text bubbles are colored either.
It doesn't matter to me. Yeah. Livestrong bracelets. There was another trend. Huge.
And then they made them, because Lance what's his name? Stewart? No. What's his last name? Armstrong.
Armstrong. I couldn't think of his name. Yeah, he had I don't know. Anyway, it doesn't matter. He had the yellow ones that kinda started the thing.
Yep. But then everybody and their brother was making those things. I probably had how many on my gear shifter in the Camry? A lot. I don't remember.
I had a lot of them. You just were collecting them? Yeah. Because everybody was giving them out. Yeah.
Because they were cheap. Oh, it was a promotional thing for sure. But it to get your your word out. Oh, I'm wearing around I had I had them from the ISU student activities board. I had them from everywhere.
I think it would be hilarious if we just brought back some of these old trends, and we're like, guys guys guys You gotta get with this. Have you heard about this? Yeah. We should. It would be funny.
Planking. Right. We have a picture of our son. How old is he in that picture? Probably 8.
Planking on the gutter in front of our house, and he's stretched out like Superman. But instead of, like, planking parallel with it, he went perpendicular, and so he's, like, sticking clear out. It's hilarious. I love that picture. I do too.
We didn't plank enough. We did. We really missed our opportunity. Let's bring it back. There were people bring it back.
People planking some dangerous stuff. And that's probably why those trends die because people are doing very unsafe things. That's true. Don't It is true. Do things unsafely.
Yeah. But we could bring back some viral moments, though. Gotta do it for the gram. Do it. Yeah.
That probably died too. That's a bad one. Well, it's time to play would you rather this or that. And I say play. It's more of a conversation.
It's not necessarily a game, is it? It's not a game. It's just It's a little thing where we have 2 options that you come up with, and you go, would you rather this thing or that thing? And you've been playing this game with, anyone around you for as long as I've known you. And, usually, it's, it's a dangerous game because you offer terrible options.
I I keep it real friendly for the right now. I know. But I'm just saying in in general, even on the show here, the options are never great. You're never like, here's a real obvious good thing and another real obvious good thing. Here's the better thing.
You always have, like, 2 terrible things. So what are they today? This is not that terrible. Settle down. Alright.
Would you rather cook an entire Thanksgiving meal using only a grill or only a microwave? A grill. Yeah. How are you gonna cook mashed potatoes on a grill? I can cook everything on a grill.
You can. Because I'm gonna roast the potatoes so they soften up underneath, my my little lid thing. Uh-huh. I'll throw in oh, did they be so good? Roasted potatoes and then mashed like that?
See? You're you want me to make Thanksgiving dinner on a grill. I kinda do. That's your face right now. How are you gonna make stuffing, dressing?
All I have to do is boil water. You can boil water on a grill. But how are you gonna bake it? I don't have to bake it. You do have to bake it.
No. I don't. Yeah. You do. No.
You don't. But, again, if I have the little foil pans Oh, okay. You put those down. I could do a water bath around them. Okay.
Throw a lid on it. Boom. They're baking. Like, you can do whatever. I can do anything on my Blackstone.
Watch me. I want to. I can do turkey on there. Same same deal. Now I'd rather here's what I would rather.
I'd rather have a small smoker for things like this where I could put the turkey in there Well, you can stuffed jalapenos. And jalapenos? Yes. The stuffed jalapenos in the smoker. Is that what the original Mayflower participants had?
Who knows? I wasn't there. They coulda had stuffed jalapenos for all I know. Could have. Anyway, I'm taking the grill, not the microwave.
K. I'm with you, but I'm not cooking. You are. No. Yeah.
No. It's would you rather, not would you rather I. Well, if it's me cooking, I'm gonna pick the microwave Uh-huh. Because Gross. I know.
It is gonna be gross. Food. It is gonna be gross. Don't come to my house for Thanksgiving. Microwave Thanksgiving dinner.
Just microwaved green beans. Here you go. Ew. In the can. You're not gonna believe it.
Idaho made a list. What is is it a bad list? Does Idaho typically make a bad list? Not for the beauty of our area. Okay.
We're always on those lists. Sure. Other lists are not so great. We usually end up on, like, the the one of the states more people are moving to or, one of America's best kept secrets or, you know, some some list like that or, you know, highest priced housing. So Yeah.
Cities with nowhere for people to live. That's those are the lists I usually see. Hawaii made the top of the list. Idaho made number 7 on the list. What do you think it is?
I don't know. And I'll tell you, Utah was number 3. Oh. So Hawaii was number 1. K.
Washington state number 2. K. Utah number 3. Alaska, California, Colorado, Idaho number 7. I don't know.
Yeah. Gonna surprise you. I'd then just tell me. Healthiest states. What?
No kidding. Based on physical activity levels, dietary habits, teen obesity rates, and air quality. Oh, okay. Hawaii number 1. Idaho number 7.
We're number 7 on that list? Out of 50. I get it, but I okay. You said Hawaii? Washington, Utah, Alaska, California, Colorado, Idaho.
California beat us? Yeah. With their I imagine it's probably because of well, they might have they might have taken some air quality hits in the big population areas. Oh. California is a huge state.
And the northern part with the sequoias and the rice fields, and there's forest and there's all kinds of stuff in that big, long, skinny thing. You you hear California immediately go like, oh, LA. Yeah. Right? Yes.
You go Southern California. You don't think about all the rest of it that's really nice and pretty. But dietary habits, probably a big thing. California's big on diet stuff. Teen obesity rates and physical activity levels.
Okay. They've got year round physical activity for the most part of the state. Okay. So that's probably why they're high. Idaho.
But Idaho, number 7. Healthiest states. Number 7 on the list of healthiest states. Yeah. 7 7th healthiest state.
Yeah. Hawaii, number 1. Here's their here's their big deal. They average over 150 minutes a week of physical activity. K.
They have clean air. They have a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, and they have some of the lowest smoking rates in the country. Good job, Hawaii. Hawaii, number 1. Idaho made the list at number 7.
Utah, number 3. Not bad. Good job, Utah. But, again, think of all the beauty. And if you get down to that southern part of the state, lots of lots of warm, lots of year round activity.
People escaping cold weather in November December to go hike in canyons and stuff in the Red River. How come Southern California is called SoCal, but Southern Utah isn't called So it. So you'd. So you'd? Yeah.
That's why. That's why. No. That's why. That's that's why.
You figured it out. That is gonna do it for the show. Hope you have a great, Tuesday. Remember to get out and vote. It is election day.
