No thank you. Listen, there's only a few things to be afraid of, like alligators. And the giant bugs. The giant spider on her face. Like I wear a mosquito head net when I hike to keep the mosquitoes from attacking my face. This woman wears it to keep the giant banana sized spider from touching her face. No thank you. She was also hammock camping, which I imagine you could totally do and be very comfortable. Not in the Everglades, no thank you very much. Now then you said something, you said, but that's still prettier than the desert. You don't like the desert. I don't really think the desert is pretty. I don't think you've spent a lot of time in the desert. I think there's beauty in the desert. Will you live in the high desert? No, we live in the high desert, which is gorgeous. But go spend some time in southern Utah, Arizona, Vegas, hiking around there. I don't think it's ugly. I think there's beauty to be had there, but I don't look at it the same way I look at green. And I need color. And the desert is... Terracotta. Brown. Sand. Cactus. Light pale green. I think cactus are beautiful. Yeah, well and then when they bloom and they get those really bright pink and yellow flowers. And orange sometimes. Plus scorpions, coyotes, snakes, rabbits. Rattlesnakes. Also snakes. Scorpions. Said that. No. Sand crabs. Oh. Cicadas. Not cicadas. What are they called? The ones in the mummy that crawl in your skin. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever those are. Scarabs. Scarabs. Oh yeah. I'm probably pronouncing that totally wrong. Scareabs. What do you mean? Scarab. That's what they're called. Okay. What else would you call it? A beetle. A hole. Body beetles. Anyway. Yeah, I would like to do some hiking and exploring. I don't think I want to go walk past alligator. A gator. No. Not that bear country isn't any less scary, but they aren't just sitting on the trail. You're not like hiking down the trail past bears. Right. Like you are walking past alligator. Look at that. No thanks. And they're everywhere. Everywhere there's water. Gator. Can't turn your back on the water or else you're inside of a gator. Gator. Gator. Gator. All right. Should we start the show? Let's start it. Hey you. Oh, hello. How are you feeling? Fine. How are you feeling? Well, you know, today is a day that should be a holiday or they should move the big football game to a different day. Okay. Like Saturday. No. Yeah. Yeah. Because everybody's calling in sick today. No, I get that. I think maybe they should close down offices today, but I don't want it on a Saturday. It's not going to be a government holiday. You don't want the football game on a Saturday? No, I like that it's on Sunday. Okay. But I do think that they should shut things down. Yeah. We should just have three day weekends. Let's have this conversation again. Three day weekend. Yeah. Forever. I know. That'd be all right. It is what they call national football hangover day. I don't have that. Do you have that? I just feel tired. I'm just tired. Not because of the game, not because I ate a bunch of food or overindulged or anything. I'm just tired. Yeah. Because it's, you know, Monday. I didn't even watch the game. I sort of here and there, I watched the halftime show. I'm sure we'll talk about some of that. But yeah, I was in and out. And, you know, okay. Cool. Yeah. Football. I'm grounded from football. No, no, no. You're just grounded from fantasy football. Oh, I see. Yeah. You can watch football. Uh-huh. You just can't play fantasy. Because you're no fun. Well, after the game, I did say to our son, I said, well, that's it until the draft. And he goes, no football till April. Oh, that's not that long. That's not that long away. Yeah. I'd like there's baseball season runs so long. There's like always baseball. The baseball season for 26 starts March 25th. Basketball season, I feel runs long too. Is that true? Or am I making that up? Uh, I don't know. I feel like basketball season runs long. What about hockey season? When is hockey season? Hockey's going right now. No, I know. Hockey's a winter sport. I know. Do you? That's not what I asked. February 21st is when spring training starts. Okay. So there's always baseball. Like baseball's running, I guess, Friday's February 20th spring training kicks off. Okay. And then it runs, holy cow, March, March, March, March, April. It runs forever. Yeah, it doesn't. And there's just games all day. It's just crazy. I can't even, I don't even know when it ends. It goes forever. So do the innings. I know. It just takes too long. You take too long baseball. Every time there's a baseball game, I should get a day off. Yeah. Great idea. It never worked. I mean, it is, they always say that's like America. Yeah, America's past time. Yeah, America's past time. So listen, give us baseball days off. Hey, there's baseball today. Have I got an idea for you? I like it. I like it. We should really push for that. Okay. Anyway, hi, good morning. Hi. Happy Monday. Oh, yeah. Listen to this. This is my nightmare. This is my absolute nightmare. There was a woman in Pennsylvania and she decided to go get her car washed. While she was in the car wash, there was a mechanical malfunction and she became trapped inside the automated washing machine for 45 minutes. Obviously there were attendants on hand and someone there to help or what? The system abruptly shut down. The doors closed like the front, the exit and the entrance doors shut down. Her car stopped. There wasn't anybody inside. There were no attendants inside the car wash. Okay. So she, and she was the only car in there. She was unable to exit. And usually they have like a door. I feel like they have like a, like forget them, the entrance on the exit doors. Like they just have like a, it depends on how big a car wash she was in because in your head, you're thinking about one of those long tunnels. Yeah. It could have been one of the short little ones. It could have been. I'm trying to see some pictures of it. Okay. So she was stuck in there. She was unable to get out or get the attention of any staff members. Right. She recorded the whole thing. Of course. Yeah. I have a phone. She pressed an emergency button that did not work. And then she finally called police after knocking on the doors and trying repeatedly to alert the people outside. Yeah. She was stuck in there for 45 minutes. Yeah. That's a while. So then the police officers arrived and the car wash owner, they helped get her out and her vehicle out. Yeah. Her car is fine. She's fine. She gets lifetime car washes. She does the car wash owner apologized and gave her a stack of gift cards. There you go. And they said they'll investigate the incident. Would you go back there? Yeah. You would? It's just a computer malfunction or something. Yes. It'll be fine. It won't happen again. What are the odds it'll happen again? Well, and the other part is like you're, it's not like dangerous, right? Like if it's everything shut, like you'll find a way out, especially if you have your phone. It's not necessarily a life or death situation. You're not trapped upside down on a roller coaster. Right. That's true. You're fine. Yeah. Then you can get out, you can walk around. You know, you're good. The worst, worst case scenario, you break something to get out. Right. But if you have your phone, she had her phone. Yeah. That is scary to me though. Going through a car wash, getting stuck. I went through the car wash the other day. I felt like it was like really pulling my car. I'm like, I'm off the track. I know it. I feel like I'm off the track. It's fine. You were just fine the whole time. It was all good. You're going to be okay. And you have a clean car. So have you ever been trapped somewhere? Do you ever get stuck anywhere? I don't like getting stuck places. I don't think so. I get stuck on an elevator once. Yeah. I know you have a tendency. To get stuck. You have a tendency once. So it'll happen again. Yeah. Lightning strikes twice. I know it. Because now I think the way that works, like people that get hit by lightning more than once, it's because they become like a little conductor of electricity the first time it happens. So then lightning is like, ah, I've already hit that guy. I know it'll work. That's sad. It's not. I don't think how it works. But there are people who've been hit multiple times. I know they have. I'm glad I haven't been. You want to be stuck in lightning? No. Stuck. Yeah. How do you get stuck in lightning? Well, after you get hit by that much power, you're in a cast. Oh, I see what you're saying. Sometimes full body. What would you do? Oh, I'd lose my mind. And then you have an itch. Oh, that's awful. Yeah. That sounds awful. And you just have to lay there with that itch. And try to think of anything else. I'm itching right now thinking about it. Oh, well. You can't reach it. Yeah, I got it. No. I got it. Nope. Now you're stuck. I don't think I've been stuck anywhere. Not like that. You've never gotten trapped anywhere? I don't think so. Well, good. Knock on wood. Did you find more to knock on? Looking around. Oh, there's some wood. Got it. Oh, Nadine. Nadine Roberts. What's Nadine do? She's from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Okay. She is 100 years old. She just celebrated her birthday. Happy birthday, Nadine. Congrats, Nadine. She celebrated by donating blood for the 51st time. Nadine. Yeah. That's nice. Yeah. She rolled up her sleeve to lead by example, she said. She also coordinated an entire blood drive at her local church. She still lives and drives on her own. She has made it her mission to give back multiple times a year because she knows that the need for blood never stops. The team that she works with during the blood drive points out there is no upper age limit for being a donor. Really? Yeah. So Nadine plans to keep stepping up to help as long as she is able because you're never too old to make a life-saving difference. She says. That's nice. Isn't that cool? 100-year-old Nadine. Nadine. You're still driving? She drives on her own. She lives on her own. It's kind of worrisome. Yeah. Well, she's awesome. She's killing it. Nadine, you're doing the best. So thanks, Nadine. Yeah. Hey, Josh, you want to talk about the last time you went to donate blood? And they said, please don't come back. Listen. Sometimes donating blood helps you take a nap. Whether you want to or not. And that's what happens to me. That's what happens to you? That's what happens to me. You pass out. They're like, hey, thank you for donating. Go have an orange. And I sit there in the table and then I wake up from a nap. And then they say, you're too much work. Please don't come back. Yeah. That was weird how you did that. We don't like that. So my bad. I appreciate you trying to help. You know, I do try. Happy birthday, Nadine. You're good news. I was influenced again. You were? Yes. What happened? Well, let's see. A week or two ago, I bought a, what's it? What's that thing called? Well, you called it some band thing. Yeah, resistance band. Yeah, which I think resistance bands are what we already had that you use on your leg like this, this, or you can use them on your arm like this, you can stretch it on your leg like this. And so you said, no, I need something else. I need something with like, like surgical tubing. Well, this one, yeah. So you, there's a part of it that you hold it apart where you put your feet into. Right. So you can do. Yes. How's that going? I haven't used it yet. No way. It's a little bit intimidating. I think that's why I don't know how it's intimidating. I don't know how it works. All right. You were influenced. So that, I have that, got that. And you don't know how it works. Right. I'm going to use it today. Settle down. Okay. Josh, quiet down. Next. Next. I was, what else did you buy? Influence. There's a lot of people I've been seeing that are using this face brush. It's called. Listen, you have more things to rub on your face than anyone I know. That is not true. You have a Jade roller thing. Yeah, I have that. You have the lip brush thing. Yeah. Whatever that is. It looks like a baby spoon that you're rubbing on your face. Like a teething toy. It's not scooped. A teething toy. It looks like a teething toy that you're rubbing on your face. There's others. You have other things. Okay. What does this do? I don't think that I have as many as some other people do. Okay. This is a lymphatic drainage massager. All right. It's a double chin reducer. Oh, God. Really? They say. Come on. It relieves fatigue. Oh. And it makes your skin glow. Wow. They did. Oh, man. The videos I see are like they're covering half of their face. Yeah. And they're using it on this half of their face. And then they're like, look at the difference. We need to take away the internet from you. And then this one guy was watching his wife. Don't worry, Katie. He was watching his wife do it. He was making fun of her. And she said, let me use it on you. And she used it on him. And he went, okay, I like this. So. So. So that guy who also gets paid when she does. Enjoyed it. Okay. Here's the thing. It's 10 bucks. The way you justify this. Like it isn't a problem. Why is it a problem? How many of these little things are we going to so far? No, this is a slippery slow. No, what is it? These are two things because here's the other part, Josh. I look at other stuff and I go, that's really cool. Yeah. And I look at how much it costs. And I go, no, I'm not spending that much because I'm a cheapskate. I get it. I'm not going to shell out more than 20 bucks or something. Sometimes. I understand. Depending on what it is. I'm with you. But $20 for a cheaper version of something or something that it is just a gimmick. You think this lymphatic roller is a gimmick? Yes. Wait. Wait till you see my face. Just wait. It's going to be. I don't know why you think something's broken with your face. Why do you have to get all this stuff to rub on your face? It's just going to make it look extra glowy. Why do you need that? It reduces puffiness. Do you have that? Maybe. It reduces facial tension. Do you have that? I got some facial tension. Where? Right here in my upper part. I thought you were just going to go right here in my whole face. That's just where your forehead is. Yeah. Those are expression lines. It's all good. It's going to make me have a lifted, refreshed look. What does that mean? You know what else has a lifted look? What? That truck that I drove past this morning. Had a lifted look. I listen. Oh, I'm hearing. I think it's going to, if nothing else, it's going to be like a nice little massage for your face. And who doesn't want that? I get that. You're going to like it. Where's that jade roller that you're just talking about? Probably in your drawer with all your other things that you put on your face. You're supposed to, that jade roller, you're supposed to put it in ice. Yeah. And then roll it on your face first thing. I bet that's nice. I bet it does feel nice. But I don't know the long-term effects of it. It's not like, it's just the way skin works. Like people, what do you always tell me about fishing? People just go out there with a stick and whatever they could, they didn't have all this gear. I've never said that. They didn't, you know, these guys used to go out there with a wicker basket and catch fish. Maybe you're overdoing it. Maybe you have too much gear. Maybe just let yourself age. I don't know. No, I am. I'm not, I did think about Botox the other day though. What'd you think about it? Well, because I looked in the mirror and I was a little bit crinkly in my face. It's nice to have eyebrows that move. I know that, but look at this part. That's just your forehead, dude. I know, but it looked a little scowly and I didn't want to look scowly. Because you were scowling in the mirror. I wasn't. Did you try smiling and looking happy in the mirror? And then the scowl went away, didn't it? I'm scowlin' now. I know. I feel it. I see it. We finally took a trip to the donation center. That is something that's been on the list. Drop off some goods that have been sitting in our living room for a while. I know, because you know, a project kind of got it finished and then it was, well, we've got all this stuff that needs to get donated. We got three boxes of stuff. What should we do with it? Leave it in the living room for a few weeks. That is a good idea. It was a bad idea because I kept walking past those boxes full of stuff that I, I thought I no longer wanted or needed and I kept going, this was kind of fun. Should we keep this or this was really cute? Should we keep this or this was a gift? Should I keep this? I pulled a couple of things back out of that box. Well, okay. And then I went, no, no, you don't need this. Put it back. So we finally took it to the donation center, got rid of it once and for all. Are you having donation remorse? Kind of a little bit. Oh, no. That's so weird, isn't it? Well, there's a sentimental thing. Stuff. I get it. But it's stuff that either wasn't being used or sitting around. I know. Yeah. I'm full aware. Yeah. But I also think, and this is so stupid. I think about the stuff going like, oh man. That stuff is lonely. You don't want it anymore. Oh, toy story has ruined you. I know. I'm thinking about that Fortnite Monopoly game. Oh, no. Oh, no. It's okay. As we said goodbye that how many times did we play that Fortnite Monopoly? Zero. Because Monopoly is boring. Right. The kids might have played it a couple of times, maybe. Right. Like it's, it's not a big deal. But that Afghan I know that I made. You spent a lot of time and money on skeins. But here's the thing about it. It's huge. It's huge. And nobody ever used it. Because I don't even know where it lived. Because I'd never finished it. Right. And it was wonky. Right. Because accounting. Yeah. You have to count when you're crocheting. And that's the part I'm real bad at. Otherwise it gets wonky. Also, it was huge. I know. And whose fault was that? Well, you made it. I understand. A couple of years ago, your mom said, I'm going to make this Afghan that's based off the temperature. That's right. And I said, that's a great idea. So like the 20 to 30 had a color, the 30 to 40 had a color. Gotcha. And then you would just keep track every day of the temperature. Yeah. And every day was a chain. Right. Like the line on the, on the blanket. Yeah. It's called a train. Super. And I said, I don't know how, how wide I want to make it. And I had an idea like this. What is that? How big do you think this is? Well, that's a variable because you keep moving them closer and further apart all the time. All right. I have my, as you have it there, three feet. Yeah. Okay. So it was about three feet wide. That's not wide enough. It would have been. And then you said three feet. Yeah. Okay. Hold on. Let me see. How many inches is three feet? What? Three times 12 is. Come on. What? Yeah. Okay. So probably this long is what I wanted to do. What is that? That is. Closer to four feet. Okay. Great. And then you said that's not big enough. That's right. Make it bigger. That's right. And it was too big. You overdid it. I didn't say make it a 10 by 10. It doesn't need to be a tarp. You know, I made it to your specifications. What were my specifications? You said make it the size of a queen size bed. That's what you said. And I said, Use it as a big blanket. I said to you, that's too big. And you said, no, it's going to be so cool. It was too big. I think you went too big. But then it also was janky on the side. It was too big. And then it was, They were all different. And so it was not that edge. It had one solid good edge. The bottom was good. The one side so good. That other end was like the way states line up sometimes. I know that's because I'm not going to the counting. Right. I see that. Don't say my quilt. My handmade quilt. Is janky. So anyway, that janky afghan. Yeah. It's actually very pretty. And it's actually very warm. It is donated. If you want it, go get it. It's at a thrift store. Whenever they process it and put it out, keep your eyes open. They're going to look at it. If you hold up a blanket at a thrift store and go, This has got to be it. Send a picture. We'll let you know. It's somewhere in East Idaho. It's been donated. Probably just thrown it away. No way. No, that's going to keep somebody warm. It's going to keep a lot of people warm. It's really big. Well, I'm sorry you're feeling sad and feeling your donation remorse, but it'll be okay. Okay. Because in like a matter of even a month, you're going to go, I don't even know what was in there. It'll be fine. I already don't know what's in there. There you go. Ta-da. Look at you. Do you ever feel guilty too? Like if somebody goes to the thrift store and sees something, they're like, You're overthinking it. I gave that to them. How did this end up here? Or they, it doesn't have a name on it. They make more than one thing of everything. I know I'm a weirdo. You're fine. Hi, Chantel. I'm a weirdo. Have we met? If you find that Afghan, send us a picture. If you want to go to the grocery store and have absolutely free reign on every aisle, go during the third quarter of the Super Bowl. Is that right? You had to run to the store. You were working on dinner and you said, I got to run, get some things. For being as empty as it sounds like it was, it took you a minute. Well, because I had to get a lot of stuff. Yeah. I mean a few bags of things, which is fine. I'm just, I was surprised. I thought you were like going like one quick thing and then back. Well, that's how it always starts, isn't it? But then you came back with multiple bags. Like I have three items on my list and then I go, You know what? I'm going to need lunch for tomorrow. And then the kids are going to need this and we need some school supplies. I got to go get this. So then halfway through the store already. And then you're like, Oh, I forgot I needed that. Grab that. Oh, that's a new item. Let me try that. It's dumb. What I will say is that the chip I owe was wiped out specifically tortilla chips. Really? No tortilla chips. Now they had a deal. It was a buy one get one. Well, that's a good deal. So I snagged the last two bags of the tortilla chips that we like. Nice. Which was great. But wiped out. Wiped out. Was there anything else that it was obviously low, low quantity? I'm trying to think about other things that I saw. I didn't see anything else, but I didn't go in. I didn't go to the meat department. So I don't know if like the meat was wiped out. I don't know. I didn't specifically look for anything else. I just needed chips. They were gone specifically tortillas. But you found a couple bags on a deal. Winner. I know. Did they have them on like an end cap as well that was all tapped out or did they only have them in the aisle? Only in the chip aisle. I'll tell you what though. You can go anywhere in that store and be totally all by yourself. How about that? Third quarter of the Super Bowl. That's the time to go grocery shopping. Nice. I wonder if that would have been true at all the stores because you went to one specifically. True. Which is, which you know tends to have people at it. It's, it's, people freak with that place. Yeah. But there are other stores where it's like jam packed. I wonder what those ones were like. Fair point. Yeah. I got, I got a front row seat. Did you say front row when you parked? You have a tendency to do that. Oh, front row. Every time. I thought you were going to say it the other day and I was prepared to, to have a rebuttal because it was third row. But you didn't end up saying it. So I went, all right, well, I'll just save that one for later. Yeah. Well, next time it'll be third row and she'll go, oh front row and I'll go technically third. And then you'll go, and roll your eyes at me. You know, I wonder if the stores were less busy during the first quarter. I wonder which quarters see the fewest people. There were other people there though. There were, yeah, there were some. I kept bumping into this one woman and a dude and another dude. I'd say like 10, 10 people. Yeah. Wow. That's not many. No, it wasn't. And they were polite and friendly. And we were like, we all had like the secret like, Don't tell anybody about it. And then here you are telling everybody go during the third quarter. Listen, it's not going to change anybody's shopping habits. I'm just saying once a year. Yeah. Once a year. If you don't care about who's playing in the Super Bowl, Go do your errands. Go do some grocery shopping. Have the place to yourself. I bet, you know, other things. What, what's some other high traffic spots? You remember when we were doing the laundromat thing and you had to wait forever. I bet you get right in. I bet you could. What else? A drive-thru. It's a Sunday. So I was going to say the Chick-fil-A drive-thru, but it's closed. So, but I bet that line doesn't exist. I bet you're right. Yeah. Where else is busy? What do you think about the Super Bowl? You want to actually dive into it right now or later? Should we wait? Let's wait. Is there more to talk about other than? Other than? I'll wait. We'll wait. All right. We'll talk about it later. Friday evening, I was a little annoyed by everyone in my family. Oh. And I needed to get some housework done. And as a mom sometimes you expect your family to pitch in, especially when you start doing stuff. And when everybody escapes and disappears conveniently, then you just get more and more mad. Tell me more about it. You know, you know all about it. I think you and I hashed it out. Did we? Well, I might have some. You had some things to say in your head. Uh-huh. How's that going? Here's the thing. I was contributing. Oh, no. Yes. Here's what you said to me. I'm doing little things here and there. And I went, oh, aren't you? Yeah. Oh. Yeah, you are. As I'm cleaning the bathrooms and mopping the floors, you're like, I'm doing little things. Yeah. Well, I was working with the vacuum. Me and the vacuum were doing stuff. And then I was waiting and I was going to vacuum the bedroom. And then you came in and hurriedly took the vacuum away. And I went, I'm not getting in the way anymore. And you had the vacuum perched near the stairs. Like you were going to take it down the stairs. And I said, I want to vacuum the bedroom first. Yeah. Okay. I would like to add that zero of this was communicated. Okay. But it should have been communicated in my action. I understand. When you get loud cleaning, it's not going to tell anyone that you want help cleaning. It should. I understand. And you guys should know that by now. I understand. All it makes everybody do is go, mom's cranky. We got to disappear. But you guys know that the fix is just to pitch it and help. I understand. And then I'll be happy. Yeah. But that wasn't, that is never gets communicated that way. Okay. So when you just like get loud, everybody goes away. Here's what I did. I retreated into my headphones and turned on my music. Loud. You couldn't hear my music. No, I could hear you singing along to it occasionally as you walked by though. And I went, oh, okay. All right. Here's the part of the story that I, because when I'm mad, I like to listen to very angry, loud music. And sometimes I was sitting there thinking as I was like scrubbing floors like, yeah. Yeah. Rock music. Yeah. I wonder if these musicians sometimes, if they ever think about these middle-aged women who are just so mad at their family, just raging out. Yeah. Yes, they do. They write songs specifically for you to mop to. This, this one will be a good angry mop song. That's right. Metallica is like, yeah. This, this 40-year-old is going to get, she's going to get angry to this one. Yeah. Yeah. This is a good one. This is one you can really be angry at your family to. This one is really going to bring out that spite. It helped. I was feeling it. I didn't listen to Metallica. I don't know why that's the name that I brought up. I was trying to think what I was even listening to. Well, you were listening to Limp Biscuit for a while. Yes, I was. You were rolled and rolled and rolled and, no, I know. You were raging. You were breaking stuff. It was a crazy time in those headphones for you. I'm glad I was not a part of it. I was vacuuming. You were doing small things. No, listen. Small things add up to big things. I moved the couch away from the window. I had to fix all the surround sound speaker wires because they were all going to get tangled in the vacuum. I had to pick all that stuff up. I dusted the window sill. I dusted the piano. Come to find out. You dusted it the day before. So that would like negated me helping. I also dusted the window sill. I dusted the whole thing where the TV sits and all that stuff in the living room and vacuumed it. Did all the pieces there while you were cleaning a bathroom. I wasn't just sitting around doing nothing. There was a time where you were sitting around doing nothing. It looked like that. But I was busy. What were you busy doing? Things. I was not resting at all. There's no resting when you were in loud cleaning mode. I was not sitting down enjoying the quiet time. Sure it looked like that. It would look like that. But it wasn't. I'm sure of it. It was something else entirely. My favorite part too is when I said I'm done with the... No, you asked if I was done with the mop bucket. That's right. And you took care of that. I emptied that. And then you come to me and said... I don't know where this lives. And I went, oh you don't. Because usually if there's a spill I use the swiffer. I don't get out the whole bucket. So I didn't know... And we had recently rearranged the garage for one. For two it's a disaster in there with a bunch of bins and totes and boxes. But it has a home. Yeah I know it does. And you know where it is. So that's why I asked you instead of just putting it somewhere. And then you'd go, that's not even where that goes. See? I circumvent the problem by creating another problem. You can't win. You can though. Not when angry clean mode is happening. No you can. And every mom out there right now is like, yeah. There is a way for everyone to win. Because I will either do it wrong because it won't be done your way. Or I'll be in your way doing it. That's why you pick a different room and you focus on that room. And I was. And then you got angry about how I was just existing in that space. You were sitting. Resting between tasks. I didn't know. Okay. Was this Friday? Yeah. You've been hanging on to this one for like since Friday afternoon? Yeah. Yeah it's a good one to hold on to. We just said to do another hash out. Are we done with the hash out? Maybe. Until next time. Oh. We're really going to be sitting right now? Yeah. Sometimes you got to sit between tasks. You got to let things dry. You know. You don't know. You've never had to let things dry between tasks. It's when you move into a different room. Oh no. That's where you were at being angry. I didn't want to go in there. It's dangerous. A really sad thing happened. It hurts. And I think I'm going to survive. Oh. Oh do you? I think. Okay. It hurts a lot less today than it did the past two days. That's all I've heard about for the past two days. Well, in a series of unfortunate events as they call it. I injured my toe. No. And it hurt. Yeah. And my toenail, like right after it happened. Turned purple. And I went, that's not good. That's, you know, that's, that's bad news. I smashed my finger one time. And had to have a paramedic friend of ours. Like drain the pressure from it. Do you remember? I do. Yeah. That was traumatic. That was insane. And so I was worried that it was going to be a similar situation. Where I was going to have to have. Okay. The pressure drain. Is that why you were freaking out? I wasn't freaking out. It hurt a lot. You're kind of freaking out a little bit. So I did some research. And. Well, I was afraid that I was going to lose the toenail. Yes. Because of the fact that it turned purple. And there's still a chance that within the next two weeks that could happen. Okay. Keep you updated on that. I'm sure you will. But. I was, I was headed out and about into the wilderness yesterday. And I'm really concerned about infection. I don't want anything to happen. So I, I. Dobbed up some. Antibiotic ointment on there. Did a little bandage wrap situation. And then I went about my day. But I'm going to tell you there were times where I had to like stand on my tip. Toes. And that was, that hurt a lot. I'm sorry. It was really kind of compressed in my boots. And I was not. I was not comfortable. But. But it's not as bad today. Good. It's, it doesn't hurt as much today as it has the past couple of days. Okay. When I say you were freaking out, I'm not saying that you were like rushing around. Like screaming. But you're freaking out moment of panic. It comes in like a. You. Furiously search. What's going to happen? And then you go, I think my toenails going to come off. This really hurts. And then it's like a constant like. I got a toe hurt. I'm not going to stop talking about my toe. And what's happened to it. So that's your freaking out. Mode. I'm sorry. I wasn't more supportive. That. Felt. Authentic. I really. I felt like you really meant that. You just talked about it a lot. Well. It hurt. I know it. And it still kind of does. But I'm dealing with it. In my own. Way. And I'll quit telling you about it. You don't need to quit. I'm not going to tell you about anything going on in my life. No. I don't want you to feel like you have to support me. So. I'm just ease up on my complaints and issues. Take it easy. It was just a lot. You went from. This really hurts. Oh no. I think my toenails are going to fall. I'm pretty sure my toenail is going to come off. It's filling with blood. Do you want to see it? Look at it. It's changing color. That's a really big dramatization of what was going on. I feel like that's a pretty accurate. No. Not even close. You just said I wasn't running around all panicky. And then you're like. Oh my toe. No. I wasn't doing that. It was more calm. It was very calm. It wasn't very calm. I was letting you know it hurt. Roll tape. I got zero support. But I got a good apology out of it. That's so. Do you feel like I didn't support you? What were you going to do? Carry me around. I listened. I did too. I listened and I said. Yeah. All I'm going to hear about is this toe for the next month. That's. You talked about the toe a lot. I've heard a lot about your toe. I didn't have a lot going on in my life. I know. There wasn't much else to share with you. It was a big moment. I thought you didn't want to be a part of it. Oh, I was. You have made me a part of your toenail process. Thank you. Who did I show last night? Well, I tried to show Emory. She wouldn't look at it. So it must have been Beck who said I don't think it's supposed to be that color. It's not. That is correct. It hurts. So you're getting no support from your family? Maybe your mom called her. Yeah. My toe hurts. You're going to go good luck with that. You're an adult. Poor Josh. Go to the doctor if you don't feel like it's going to get better. That's what she'll say. I'll go, okay, thanks, mom. Poor Josh. You just want somebody to look at your toe. No, I don't want anyone to look at my toe. I just wanted you to look at my toe. I did. No, you haven't seen it. I have seen it so much. You've shown me every hour. I have not. I've shown it to you every hour. It certainly feels like it. Here's my toe update. Still attached. Still blue. Cool. I'll let you know in an hour what it looks like then. Can't wait. See? No support. All right. I saw something that I think is hilarious, a little bit wholesome and also dangerous. All at once. You have your old year books. I have my old year books. Did anybody write their phone number in your yearbook? No. Nobody ever gave me their phone number. Are you sure? I don't know. I'll have to go look. I don't think they did. That's exactly what a group of kids did with their dad's yearbook. They were thumbing through and they saw someone who had left a number in there. And so they called the number and the lady answered and they said, hi, is this Michelle? And she says, yes, it is. How did she still have her same phone number? Well, that was the whole thing. They were like, so we're just looking at my dad's yearbook and you had written your number in here. You know, and these are like 16, 17-year-old kids. So, you know, they've been out of school for a while. And yeah, they said, we just wanted to see if you still had the same number. And she said, yes, I do. then it was weird because then the kid was like, I don't know what to say. I don't know. We didn't prepare what I'm supposed to say. I don't know what to... And so he said, who's your dad? And he says, Ryan, something, something. And she goes, yep, I know your dad. And so, which was funny. And then he goes, I don't know what to say. Well, tell your dad I said hi. And they're like, okay, bye. And that's the whole extent of the phone call. But yeah, that really happens. If anybody, we didn't have, I didn't have cell phones in high school. So if anybody had written their phone number, it would have been a landline at their parents' house. So if I called that number, chances are the landline doesn't exist. And if somebody does answer, it's going to be their parents. You're exactly right. Now, that's our experience. Yes. But if you had, you know, a few years go by, cell phones existed within five years of us graduating. Yeah, I would say three. Yeah. Within five years. Three is within five. So, yes. Okay. So, I'm saying that like, even if you graduated in 2004, 2005 or earlier, phones were around. So you could technically still have your first cell phone number. I mean, I got my I got my first cell phone. I guess it might have been the summer after I graduated. So, yeah, it would have been 1999. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. You could technically still have that number. Yeah, that's true. Right? That's true. Well, and you think like, our oldest is 21. So, you know, if you if your oldest is 16, there's a whole extra five year window there. Like you got plenty of time to have a cell phone by that time. So, and have it in a yearbook. Anyway, it's still our number. The kids started calling. I'm just saying, if you wrote it in a yearbook, you might get a call. That's pretty funny. Did you ever write your number in a yearbook? I doubt it. Because I didn't have, I just had a home phone. Stay cool. Probably some of that. Did you? You wrote that? I'm sure. Yeah. I'm sure I wrote some obnoxious things. Who knows. Somewhere, there's little little words in a few yearbooks. I don't know. I'm gonna have to dig mine out and see. I doubt it. You guys start making phone calls? I if I have phone numbers, they're not from boys. Why are you sad about this? I don't know. I never got any phone numbers. Okay. I'm not sad about it. Nobody ever looked my way. I was last pick at the games. Like, whoa. Chin up. Yeah. I came out on top. That's what I'm saying. Relax a little bit. It's okay. I am relaxed. Anyway, I'll send you the video. I've been holding on to it. It's pretty funny. I would check it out. I liked that they didn't have a pre-pair script. No, they had no idea what to do. What did we do? Oh, somebody answered. Now what? But also, I think people just in general aren't practiced at talking on the phone. I agree. So, trying to continue to have a conversation where you actually have to talk to somebody was a challenge. Oh, they talked back to us. Oh, no, they answered. What do I say? This is unprepared. I have to improv. That's funny. Anyway, it's a kind of a fun idea. If you want to have a good time, pull up some old yearbooks and start calling. Just see if you can get ahold of some folks. Well, my feed everywhere is just full of Super Bowl stuff. I know. I know. The space needle. That's the thing in Seattle where Seattle won. And just fireworks going off on that thing. Just crazy. I feel like it was a long all night firework display. Just kept going. In Seattle? Yeah. I'm happy that they won. I'm so happy for Sam Darnold. Yeah, let's talk about Sam. So, Sam's had quite the career. Yes. And Beck was telling me last night he was in the same draft class as Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson. And he's the first of those three to win a Super Bowl. And they're amazing. And they're very good quarterbacks. Yeah. Which is really cool. And then, I mean, to be fair, he's got a Super Bowl before Joe Burrow and a few others. He had a few other things to say. But ever since the playoffs began, experts predicted the Seahawks and the Patriots would be the Super Bowl defensive battle. And that's kind of what it turned into. It wasn't a ton of offense, big offense plays. Right. It was a lot of defense holding the score. And that's why we had a 29-13 Seattle win over New England. Which was pretty cool. But Sam, Darnold, unreal. And Drake May just getting sacked. How many times? Six. That's pretty incredible. Kenneth Walker was the running back for Seattle. He was just destroying. And I believe the MVP that's what I was going to say went to what's his name? Kenneth Walker. Isn't that who got it? I don't know if he got the MVP. He definitely had 94 yards in the first half. Which is the second most in the history of the game. It says trying to see here. Oh, seven sacks from Julian Love. He got the interception there. Yeah. Just trying to learn this as I go. But anyway, I was in and out watching the game. Yeah. Same. So I didn't see the commercials. I tried to catch up on some of that stuff this morning just to see the overwhelming. Kenneth Walker got MVP. He did get MVP. Okay. Very good. Sorry, what were you going to say? I was going to say that I was in and out and I didn't get to see any of the commercials and stuff. I tried to catch up on some of that. I didn't see any commercials either. Apparently people are saying a ton of AI in a lot of the commercials. I heard that too. Like a lot of people used AI to do their ads. So they were like and people are like upset about it. Like the quality wasn't good. They weren't that creative. Some of the effects were really strange. Some of the decisions that people made on how they were going to advertise their product seemed weird. So you know and I'm all good for a weird funny commercial. Right. And then movie trailers. There were a few of those that came out. I will say that I I've been talking smack on the patriots for a very long time. But there was one player I don't know who it was and he was very sad after they lost and then I felt really bad for the Patriots. Because I don't want to see any bad news. I walked back inside and you looked like you were tearing up about it. Well he was sad. He said I don't like when people have to lose. The guy was sitting on the bench crying. I don't like that. I mean you have to have a winner and a loser. I know. But they worked really hard to get there. Yeah. Sad. Sad. Sad. They'll work hard again next year. I know. You know. So where it goes. I did watch the half time show. Yes. That I sat and watched. Yes. And that was awesome. Yeah. Very vibrant and colorful. I didn't know any of the words but that's okay. I didn't know the Lady Gaga part. Because Die With The Smiles song I know. That didn't stop me from dancing in my couch. No. You were dancing all over the whole living room. You were having a good time. It was awesome. It was a party. Recky Martin was there. That is true. That was nice to see him. I was spotting different celebrities and then I heard this morning that Bad Bunny had brought more guest celebrity people on to the half time show than anybody else has ever done. You know that show was only 13 minutes long. Yes. That's crazy. And he doesn't get paid. Really? Correct. He did 12 songs. Did you know that? No. 12 songs. No I did not know that. In 13 minutes. I mean typically it's a medley of songs. Gasolina was in there. That was fun. I went, hey the song with Daddy Yankee. That's fun. Real people got married. There was a real wedding. That was neat. Yeah. That whole wedding was real. That was cool. That was super cool. The cake cutting. And the shrubs were real people. That's an interesting thing you pointed out. I want to be one of them. And then I've seen a bunch of like backstage videos of them moving the bush people around. I want to be a shrub people. You do? Yeah. One person said, imagine you're going to work today and your job is shrub. Yeah. That's true. Someone had to go, I got a call time. I have to be at the Super Bowl at this time. I'm shrub. I'm shrub. Shrub 5. Group B, shrub 5. Yeah. Pretty funny. But yeah, I don't know. I mean it happened. It's over. We've got another year until the next one. And that is everything I know about it. There you go. There you go. Anything else you want to say? I think I'm good. Congrats to Seahawks. There you go. And to the 12, the Seahawks fans. We see you, JR. Yeah. I texted him. I said, hey, congrats 12 and he laughed. Thanks. You're welcome for Sam Darnold. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No kidding. Hey, listen though. That guy had zero turnovers through the playoffs and in the Super Bowl. Zero turnovers. That's awesome. That's how you win games. Well done, buddy. You worked hard. Zero turnovers. He fought hard for that. Well done. Thought I'd give you a quick little update. I have worn shorts two days so far this year. And I did, in fact, go fishing over the weekend. I have fished in February. In early February. Right. Now, success rate low. You didn't catch anything? I didn't touch a fish. However, I did. You saw some? I hooked one, but he got away before I could net him. So, you know, that happens. What size? Big. Decent. Huge. Really? It could have been. It made a splash and then swam away. So, I didn't even really get to fight it very long, which I was kind of bummed about because it could have been a decent fish. But then it was quiet the rest of the day. And you were gone all day. I fished for many hours. Yes, you did. Yeah. Yeah. I had a good time. It was nice. It was overcast for a good portion of the morning. Which is good fishing conditions. That's good stuff. Yesterday morning as you were getting ready to leave, I said, it's a little overcast today. And you went, this is the best weather. This is good. This is good news. Why is that good news? It keeps things nice and cool on the water. Things are good. When it's overcast like that, fishing is good. Yeah? Yeah. How come? It's just the way it works. Yeah. It's just the way it works. Then in the afternoon, the sun came out. I'm standing in the water. Sun on my face, I felt good. I was like, this is awesome. You waited up and all that? You put your waiters on? Absolutely. Yeah. Yep. You got in it. You got in the water. I did. I was fishing for good, handful of hours. You went with your cousin. Yes. Did he manage to catch anything? Negative. Aw. We, but listen. As we were standing on the bank, I said, look, you know what? You never get skunked if you're catching views. That's what they say. And look at it out here. Like, I can't complain. I'm standing in the water. I'm fishing. The sun's on my face. What a day. What a day, dude. What a day. What a day. Good day for it, some might say. It was a good day for it. I should have taken a photo. You should have. Yeah. But it was, it was good. It was nice to be out there. Fishing in early February. At first, I've not done that. Usually I don't get out until May. And maybe that's why you didn't catch anything. The fish are like... Oh, it's definitely more difficult, I would say. It's more difficult to fish in the winter. Because of the water temperatures and stuff and the way the fish, the way they behave in the colder temps, they don't really... Like, they're not coming up and grabbing stuff off the top of the water. Like, you got to get it down into where they're eating. And they're a little more docile and stuff. You got to use a wet fly. Not a dry fly. I was using midges, but yes. Because is that the bug that's currently hatching? There's not a lot of bugs hatching. There's some gnats and some little flies and stuff. But there's not a lot of stuff going on in the winter. It's not like, you know, big grasshoppers and any of that stuff. It's a midge, but you can use a nymph. Similar. They're very similar. Like, midges and nymphs are... Those are synonyms. Okay. Yeah. Right, right, right, right. What about... Oh, did you just Google some terms? Sure thing. I did throw a streamer for a little while. I tried doing that. A couple of different colors. And I didn't have a lot of luck. But that's okay. Sorry, but you were catching views. I was catching views. So successful outing. What about a streamer? Did he use a streamer? I just said I use streamers for a little while. I know. You weren't listening. What about cat-us? There's no cat-us right now. The cat-us hatch was not on. Got it. It's too cold. Okay. Too cold for the cat-us. That's why I was using midges. Midges. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I listened to you. Sure thing. Sometimes. Pfft. How's your toe? Oh, change the subject. Uh, would you rather this or that? Would you rather be late but look great? Or be on time but look at... Mess. Appearance isn't like... super, super important unless I have to be somewhere important and I'm looking a mess. Yeah. And I should have taken more time. So I'm trying to just understand the situation. Because being on time is important. It's more important than looking good, I would say. What if it's a very important work event? Then I need to be looking good. But you're going to be late. That's the price you pay for beauty, ain't it? Ha ha ha ha. Ain't it? Yeah. I don't like to be late. I'd rather be on time but look a mess. That's what I said. It's more important. I'm going to be late. No, I'm not going to be late. What did I say? No, I'm not going to be late. I'm going to be on time. But look a mess. Yeah, that's what I pick. Alright. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. I don't want to look a mess, especially an important work... It's an important work thing. You're going to look a mess. I'd rather be late. No! Ha ha ha ha. This has been fun. I don't know why I keep messing that up. I'd rather be on time because I hate being late. Right. So, I'm not... Yeah. I'm not going to be late. I'm going to be on time. I'm going to look a mess. Yes. Are you sure? Yes. What'd you pick? I already picked that same one. I said being on time is probably more important than... looking fresh. But I'm going to not look fresh. No. Sorry, everybody. Ready to do the thing that you asked me to do. That's right. It's a presentation in front of a group of... 50 people. Oi. Sorry for my appearance. You're going to apologize? You're going to go, I didn't have time to get ready, but I'm here on time. To the crowd? I might not apologize. You shouldn't. You should just move on with the thing. Oh, no. I'm here. Look how punctual I am. What's that stain on your shirt? Don't worry about it. Would you rather this or that? Last week, I asked you which Winter Olympic event you'd want to be a part of. Yeah. Bobsled needs a new middleman. I don't know if you saw. I did see... Team USA Bobsled had a problem. I feel so bad. I've seen that video clip over and over. Was that a qualifying or was that an actual competition round? Do you know? I do not know, actually. Was it a practice? I don't know for sure, but I saw they had an issue. They really did have an issue. Their four-man Bobsled team went down solo. Well, the one guy stayed in. That's what I said. The other three just tried to play slip and slide. I feel so bad for that. It was not cool. They need a new middleman. They need two more middlemen. And a guy to bring up the back. I got you. I was practicing some Bobsled stuff. What does that mean? In the tub? No, no. That's where you practice. In the car, I was practicing. You were practicing Bobsled in the car. Yeah. That is not the same. Every time you turned, I would be like, oh, keep it steady. Oh, I turned steady. Yeah. I'd be the best middleman Bobsleder you've ever seen. I know you would. I know. What is the... Do you know the metal count right now? No, but I do know that Breezy Johnson won the first gold medal. She is a woman who won the first gold medal for Team USA. And she is from Jackson Hole, Wyoming. How about that? So that's pretty cool. She won it in the Alpine Ski Racing. Okay. I also know that Lindsay Vaughn broke her leg in the... Have you heard about her? I did. I heard she had to be carried off. It was bad stuff. Yeah, that's not so good. No. I also know that the quad god... Who's that? Oh, he's Ilya Malinin. Okay. He did the forbidden move in... The backflip. I saw the backflip in the men's figure skating. They call him the quad god. So, hold on. Did he get disqualified for that? No, he won. He won the medal. Well, I don't think he's won yet. Yeah, he did. He won gold. Yes, he did. I'm seeing two gold medals that the United States has. 17 hours ago, he clinches gold for Team USA. Oh, weird. That's what I was seeing. Because we have one figure skating gold and one Alpine skiing gold. But I thought the girl with the cool hair won gold. She did. So, how do we only have two? What's going on? I don't know what's going on. This one says Ilya delivers under pressure securing Team USA's second straight figure skating gold. Yeah, I see that. Oh, somebody needs to learn how to count. I don't know. I don't know. His performance. I don't know if you saw his performance. I saw it just like a far away. I didn't see the actual up close TV footage. I saw somebody in the stands. It was pretty incredible. Even his sit spin. Pretty awesome. Got a great sit spin. Well, according to the official medal count we have two and they're both gold. But I can't figure out that count. I'll figure it out later. Did you find out anything about the Bob's blood team? No, but Norway leads the medal count with six according to what I'm looking at right now. Norway? Yeah, Norway. Switzerland is in second in the medal count and USA is in third. So that's at least what I know. Norway. Yeah. Yeah, way. That's what I would probably say if I was there with them. Norway. Norway. That's what you would say? Yeah. And then everybody would be like, yeah, we get it. Stop saying that joke and I'd be like, I can't. I can't not say it. It's not even my joke. It was your joke. Norway. Yeah, see, I don't understand. And maybe it's because okay, okay, okay. It's the figure skating team event that USA won gold at. Not. Not the individual figure skating event. That's why. Okay. So quad fella. Quad God? And Alyssa Lu, who is the girl with the cool hair. They are both on the team. Uh-huh. That's why we only have, it took me a minute. Uh-huh. People are watching and yelling and going, yeah, you crazy guy. Pay attention. You know what you're going to talk about before you open the microphone. We don't do our research. We do it in real time. We do it live. And you suffer through it with us. Yeah, so then the figure skating team event, United States got gold. And yes, you said Breezy Johnson got gold in alpine skiing. That is correct. Those are the two gold medals thus far. She grew up on the slopes of Jackson Hole. How about it? All right, we got to go. Have a great rest of your Monday. Go team USA. And we'll be back tomorrow morning. All right, see you then. Goodbye. Thanks for listening to wake up classy 97 the podcast.
