Full show transcript:
Yesterday, you told the story about the escaped monkeys.
Yeah, the monkey that was on the loose. Do you have an update?
I don't have an update on him. I was hoping you had an update on him.
I haven't looked. What's going on with the Mississippi monkey?
Let me tell you what's going on in Texas because there was a monkey that got loose inside a spirit halloween. This one was a pet monkey
and he got loose from its owner
at a spirit halloween store in Texas and he spent more than 30 minutes swinging from the rafters and the poles.
The owner eventually coaxed it down with a cookie and the monkey wasn't injured.
Well, okay, that's good.
At first people weren't sure it was real because they thought it was a prop. But there was one dead giveaway. It was wearing a diaper.
They say the monkey got spooked by an animatronic display inside the store and got away from its owner. The employees weren't able to crowd the monkey and the police were called.
Eventually, the owner got a cookie out and said, come get this cookie.
It was apparently pretty chaotic, but nobody was injured, including the monkey. A few customers did book it straight out of the store.
Yeah, I'm not dealing with this monkey.
I'm actually very happy. It's probably a good thing he was wearing a diaper and also didn't escape from the door, like escape outside because that would have been insane.
Yeah, right? Yeah. Oh yeah.
What do we know about the loose Mississippi monkey?
Well, here's the deal and I'm a little bit sad about this.
Oh no, I don't want to know.
Well then, don't say. Okay. Three monkeys are on the loose, not just one. There's a lot of stuff that was misinformed, including the fact that these monkeys, these primates, were not infected with COVID-19, hepatitis C, and everything else. They were not.
However, because of that misinformation, and the driver mistakenly told them that that was the case, authorities, sheriff's deputies, euthanized five of the monkeys unnecessarily. They weren't infected. And that's when we said that the university said these monkeys are not infected. You should have listened to the scientists, not the truck driver who was driving the monkeys who crashed. That's really heartbreaking.
I know. The sheriff said that the five monkeys that were euthanized, he said, I hate that it got to the point that it did. We were told they were highly infectious and dangerous to the public. So we reacted on that information we were given at the time. 21 monkeys were aboard the truck when it crashed on Tuesday afternoon, which is, that's a lot of monkeys. Do we know what caused the crash?
I'm trying to see here. Okay. So are they all now?
Oh, the driver had fallen asleep. That's how it all happened. So the guy had fallen asleep and then said, they're crazy. They're infected monkeys. Yeah, which they weren't.
I feel like there needs to be a little bit of accountability here.
Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty wild.
That's a really, really, really unfortunate thing all around. Yep.
That's really not great.
Have they all been accounted for?
There are three missing. There are three monkeys still on the loose in Mississippi.
Are they going to use the monkeys ones too? Well, they shouldn't. No, I hope not. I know. Okay, well, that's a bad.
You asked for a monkey update. I didn't like the news I found out about the monkey update in real time. Like that's a really sad story getting sadder by the minute.
Well, stay tuned because there is better stuff coming your way in this episode.
That's right. This show has a lot of fun. And you just had to open up with the sad monkey story. No, I'm not you. I'm saying you the listener of the podcast. Thank you for making it through the sad monkey story. The rest of the show.
Top notch. Way more fun than sad monkey news. I don't like sad monkey news. You'll like the show though. Here you go. You know what I just remembered? What's that? A couple of days ago, I said, hey, we're leaving. Remind me about this.
Uh, yeah.
Do you remember what it was? No.
Did I write it in my calendar? I doubt it.
If you listen, we were leaving the house just briefly and I'd been working on a bunch of stuff, yard work and everything. And I said, Hey, now I do. I have a really important thing that I can't forget. Help me remember.
That was on Tuesday. Yeah, I remembered this morning. I put it in my calendar and I actually reminded you that night.
I don't remember you saying a word about it.
You didn't hear me because you were preoccupied with your game.
Yeah, I should have been reminded multiple times.
Well, guess what? I did my job. I reminded you once. You said, remind me. I did.
I don't remember you reminding.
Well, that's because it's not your fault. I'm upset that I didn't remember. And I don't think it's like super, super, super detrimental at this point. Oh, no. It shouldn't be because the first year we had the trailer, it sat there and I didn't know that was a thing.
Okay. And it was way cold that year. So any real damage that would have been done, would have been done then. What I forgot to do was to take the batteries out of the little battery box and put them inside on their trickle chargers so that they just stay charged all winter. That's the big deal. So they're a deep cycle solar battery. So they have liquid in there that can freeze, which is not good.
That's what I'm saying. It's been in the 20s, so it's been colder than freezing, but it hasn't been like negative 22 or anything crazy like that.
So, Okay, yeah.
I think that's what I'm saying. And they're still hooked up to the solar. So during the day, they're still getting recharged. So it shouldn't be terrible. I don't think. No, I think was driving in this morning and I went, Oh, no. Yeah. So, Hey, would you do me a favor?
Yeah, I've already put it in my calendar. Thank you very much. I moved it. I moved it to this afternoon.
This afternoon. Yeah. I mean, just send me a note or something. Because I'm going to forget by the time this afternoon comes around, probably.
Put it in your calendar. How about? Yeah, I just did. I can't be responsible for, Oh, Hey, I just was looking at today's reminders. I have a note to push leaves to the street because this week is kind of when they're going to come do leaf pickup in our neighborhood.
We'll talk about that later. Okay. I got a couple of things I need to tell you about. Okay. Okay. In regards to leaves. Leave me alone. Yeah. All right. Anyway, Hey, we're here. I'm remembering things. My brain's on fire today. Here we go. Yeah. I got all the synapses. Let's go. Did you remember?
I got nothing. I'm just going to come up with something funny, but my synapses are not firing.
That's because I've got all of them this morning. Tonight. A very ghoulish, creepy, scary night. Tonight?
Yes.
Why? It's haunted refrigerator night. What's that mean? Clean out your fridge of all the scary stuff inside.
No. Who wants that?
No, not doing that. Yeah, there's scary stuff lurking inside the fridge.
There absolutely is, but that's just going to stay there. I'm not.
It's haunted refrigerator night.
Yeah. I looked, there was a bag of green beans that I bought about a week and a half ago and I looked at them this morning and went, did they look back at you?
Yep.
Oh, scary. And they said, please eat me. And I said, I can't be bothered. I got a cook. Yeah. You sounded really good when I was at the store and then I brought you home and then I went, no, I have to wash you and I have to prep you and I got to cook you. I don't. So much work. Haunted refrigerator night. No, I'm not. Nope. No, it's going to stay there.
It's a good time to do it. Here's why. What's about a month away? That's right. Big leftovers. So it's a good, it's a good first run at getting your fridge ready so that in about a couple of weeks you can do it again. Isn't that fun? It is fun. Yeah. You know what else is going on today?
What's that? It is candy corn day. I saw that.
And there's a debate about, is there a proper way to eat your candy corn? Yeah. I see what's happened.
A proper. You're telling me that you need your headphones turned down. That's because somebody messed with my volume. So I've got it turned up to my normal level and you're having a bad time.
Well, mine was very loud.
You were screaming in my ear. You could go up a little bit higher. Are you better? Are you good there? Okay. Good. Now we're in the middle of, that sounds good. Let's get back to candy corn.
Oh, sorry. Super. You were shouting in my head.
Originally called chicken feet. They're apparently chicken feet. Feed. Oh, because it's corn.
Now I'm going to chicken feet from now on. Chicken feet is already a thing. A candy?
No. It's chicken feet. And you can buy them.
Yeah. You can already buy chicken feet too. True.
True. True. Anyway, do you have a proper way to eat it? I don't eat it. But if you do eat it, you just throw the whole thing in there and chew it up. Yeah. Some people apparently like to bite the white part off. I've put the rest in their mouth after they've eaten just the white part by itself.
No, I don't do that. But like you can eat it piece by piece. So you eat the colors individually. But I typically will just throw the whole thing at my mouth.
Do you do the little point, the little white point, or do you turn it around New York pizza style and eat the yellow?
No, white first. Really? The point first. Because it's the littlest.
Some other people eat the yellow and first. Well, about half as many as eat the white part first. Wow. Yeah. Wow. That's science. Someone said, Hey, do you eat candy corn? And if they said yes, they said, How do you eat it?
And the majority of people just throw in their mouth. Large and first? Some people said white part first. Some people said yellow part first. But most people just eat it. Except for me. I don't.
There's a lot of people who do not eat it. So, Hey, remember a couple of years ago, I don't know if they are still doing this, but bracks, the candy. Brock. Brock. Is it brock? Brock.
Brocks. They were making like candy corn that had like different flavors and stuff. Like they had the Thanksgiving dinner one. Do you remember that? We tried them on the show. And then they had a taco night one. Were they candy corn? Yeah, I think so. Or jelly beans.
I bet they were jelly beans. I think they were jelly beans. I don't think they could pack all that flavor into a corn. That's a beans job.
But I think a candy corn is bigger than a jelly bean. I disagree. I disagree with your disagree. A
jelly bean is not tapered. Exactly. Exactly. There's more jelly bean.
I think they're bigger though. I disagree. I disagree with your disagree. Now we got to get some, we got to compare.
No, let's just not look it up and forever wonder. I like that better.
I don't want to buy a bag of either to compare. So nope. We're going to have to figure it out some way. I know. I'm going to go to the store. Yeah. I'm going to use my fingers to measure.
That'll work. Yeah, that'll work. It's very scientific. Yeah, I know.
Anything else about candy corn?
No. I'd like to talk about it. No, I'm done. Why? Is there anything else you wanted to talk about candy corn?
I don't like the candy corn pumpkins. I will say that. Cool. Cool.
Those are bigger than both a jelly bean and a candy corn.
Agreed. As they should be. Pumpkins are bigger. Agreed. All right. Good. We got somewhere today. Good.
Here's some good news. This is a story that happened recently in Australia. Listen to this. Deborah Brown and her family were cleaning up trash at Wharton Beach in Australia when Deborah's daughter stumbled upon a bottle buried in the sand.
Oh man, lucky duck.
So she grabs the thing and inside the bottle. What is it? I don't know. Do you have a guess? Sting.
A message from Sting.
Message in a box. He messaged in a box. Yeah, yeah. That's a good one. Good one. It wasn't that. So back in 1916, two World War I soldiers, Malcolm Alexander Neville and William Kirk Haley wrote two notes. When? In 1916. No. Stuffed them in the bottle and launched the bottle at sea. No. And 109 years later, the bottle resurfaced on the beach in Australia.
How can we be sure it was actually written in 1916 though? What if it was just a bunch of kids in 1995 who said, let's write it in 1916.
So Deborah used Facebook to track down the descendants, sparking emotional reunions and shared memories. Deborah connected with Herbie Neville, whose Malcolm's great nephew. Herbie said he knew of his great uncle Malcolm from stories that he heard from his aunt, who is now 101 years old.
Cool. She also connected with family members of William. His granddaughter, Anne Turner, explained that the discovery has impacted the family in a pretty big way. Yeah. We're all absolutely stunned. There are five grandchildren who are still alive, Anne said. We're all in constant contact since it happened and we can't, we just can't believe it. We do very much feel like our grandfather has reached out to us from the grave.
That's cool. Yeah. Okay. It's pretty cool to find a message in a bottle to begin with, but then to find an old one. Right.
What did it say? Let me see if I can find out. It's a really old bottle too. Oh, cool. Oh, man. Yeah, these are written in cursive.
I never find a message in a bottle. Oh, you have to know how to read cursive. This is true.
One says, dear mother, having a real good time, food's real good so far, with the exception of a meal which we buried at sea. There goes on from there. Anyway, kind of interesting.
That's cool. Good story. Yeah.
Man, I never find anything cool like that. It's a really cool old bottle. Like if you found this bottle, like this bottle, you couldn't go buy today.
Well, on the letter itself, was it waterlogged or was it pretty sealed tight?
It was sealed up. Yeah. Good job. The letter's in great shape. Yeah. That's cool. Yep. Anyway, well done.
Very cool. Dear mother, food is good. Yeah. It's good news. I saw this, what do I want to say? Is it an article? I don't know what it is. It's essentially like if you are talking to your partner and you say, hey, you can't die first because I don't know how to do blank.
Oh, okay. Yeah. So I have a couple. You can't die first because I don't know how to operate the TV downstairs. That's the thing?
I mean, I have lots of things, but you can't die first because I can't open jars. There's tools for that. There is tools for that and I have tools for that. Plus, real help.
And back with the TV. That's true. So I'm set. Okay. Well, see ya. Those are the things.
Those are the two first things that came to my head, but there's a million other things. You can't die first because I don't know how to winterize the trailer or do anything. Well, it's winterized. Yeah. How do I de-winterize? Don't know.
We have a very, very basic trailer.
It's not hard. But I also can't pull it.
Sure you can. No. We're going to work on that this year. No. You said you could.
I know. Why can't I die first? What? You don't need me around.
Yes, I need you around, but I feel like I'm capable. If I don't know how to do something, I feel confident that I could ask or learn. So I'm not trying to have you be, stick around because I'm lazy.
No, I get it. And that's that anybody can learn how to do stuff. That's not the point of the story. It's just a question.
I mean, look, these bills aren't getting paid. I'm terrible about deadlines and due dates and paying bills. It's a waste of time. It's why you do it. Because if you didn't, we would never pay a bill.
So that's what I'm around for.
Yeah, you're the financial person in the fam. Oh, thanks. Yeah, it's real important. It's a very important job. It's very important.
You can't die first because then I'll have to cook dinner every night. Oh, yeah. No, not going to happen. Our kids are going to starve. They're old enough. They can fend for themselves.
What are other things are people saying online?
People are saying pay bills. The one gentleman was like, I have no idea what the passwords are to even pay.
I know where to find the passwords. Yeah, there's a shared drive. Yeah, we have that documented. So I know where to go to get it.
Yeah, and I also have a document that shows what comes out each month at what time. You have access to that. Yeah, you do. No kidding. Yeah. Somebody said, do the taxes. I have no idea how our taxes get done every year. Somebody said, laundry. I don't ever do the laundry. Laundry. Yeah.
Our kids have been doing their laundry since they were 10.
I get it. Do your laundry. Somebody said, maintain the AC units. I don't know how to do that.
Yeah, you got to put them in and take them out. Can you handle that?
Let's see. Somebody goes, this gentleman said, I don't know where we keep the food. Where's some of the food? Come on, man. I think they do. It's just mostly like, I need you around. I need my people around because you take care of stuff.
Yeah, that's where I'm at. But I also, I don't feel like that's your only reason to stick around is because somebody's got to pay the bills.
No, I, you know what I mean? Right. I got to worry about it. It'll be my problem. Don't worry about it. I'll figure it out. I have to stay alive because the bills need to be paid. Got to pay the bills. You're smart. You'll figure it out.
Yeah. And I know where to go to find the information.
This one said, when my mother-in-law had to teach my father how to write a check because he'd never written one. He's a lawyer. Wow. Which did not how to write a check.
Honestly, though. Well, because he probably has people.
Well, right. But our kids wouldn't know how to write a check because they don't write. They don't use checks.
Had to use checks more recently. That's been weird. I haven't had to write them, but I've had to deal with that in banking where you get checks and you have to pay bills with. It's very strange.
Yeah. But it's because of documentation.
You have to have, and the way they handle stuff now, like they scan copies of everything. So you get like a visual of the check you wrote out. Like it's very handy. Okay. Yeah.
It's slower. Right. It's not like tap to pay where it's instant because you have to, but it's also not for like groceries. Right. Like it's not just going to stores paying bills.
Yeah. A lot of grocery stores don't take checks anymore. So, yeah. Somebody else said, here's another one. Oh, I just thought of this. This wasn't what somebody else said. This is what I said. Okay. Getting the dog a haircut. If you died first, I wouldn't know who you go get the haircut
from the back. I guess I got to, would you go ahead and remind me at some point today, I got to call and get the dog a haircut. We've been talking about that.
That's the other thing. You would just forget everything without me.
Yeah. You pay the bills and you remind me of the things multiple times. These are the things that I would, I would literally nothing would get done and the power would get shut off. And that's, that would be my life. I'd be like, oh no. I knew I was supposed to do that, but no one reminded me.
That's what would happen. I go, am I hungry? I guess. I should probably feed myself. No one reminded me that dinner was needed. You know, we got to get that done.
You're good about feeding yourself. It's just, if you're not hungry, then nobody else is hungry. So you would have a really hard time feeding the kids and you've always been this way.
I wouldn't have a hard time feeding them. I just get, I get in my zone.
Yeah, you do. And you're like, I'm not hungry. No one else is hungry.
When I'm fishing hours and hours and hours go by and I'm like, where's food? What is food? Yeah. More fishing.
Even when our kids were a little used to do that. And I'd be like, Josh, just because you're not hungry doesn't mean other people aren't. She's five years old. She needs to eat.
Is she hungry? Ask her. Check. She didn't say she was hungry. She was sitting next to me. I didn't hear her stomach go.
Check in, buddy.
Yeah, see, this is why we're a team. I'll cook. I just don't know when. Yeah, I'm fine cooking food. Just when do you need it?
Just somebody tell me. Somebody give me your reminder.
Right. Send me a text and tell me, hey, it's time to make food. Oh, okay.
A text from the grave. Hey, feed the kids.
Set a bunch of reminders. Just so my phone's just constantly like, hey.
But then you'll turn them off because you'll get so annoyed.
You're correct. I can't be having that. It only works when we're a team. That's just it.
Okay. So we go together. Yeah, that's right. Fine by me. Okay. Okay.
Tuesday is election day. That's right. And we want to encourage you to get out and vote. You and I last week went and voted early. It was the last week. Yeah.
Yeah. So about a week ago yesterday went out and voted already. There's still a couple of days to vote early. You can vote today or tomorrow early. And then you don't have to worry about it.
You can go out and vote now. Kind of bummed because they gave you my sticker. I told you not to put it in. And now I'm sad. Yeah. You said I'm saving mine for actual election day.
Yep. I'm going to wear it on Tuesday.
And now I'm sad.
You said no, I'm going to wear it today and slap it on your shirt. Did you, do you still have it? No. You threw it away. Yeah. Well, I'm sorry.
It wasn't even sticky anymore. I could have just worn the shirt that I put it on and wore that same shirt. Sure. Could have done that.
But you didn't. No, I didn't. Yeah.
Well, anyway, go exercise your right. Go get your free sticker. Yeah. If nothing else, go get your free sticker. No, I would say, go ahead. Oh, I was just going to say, I always like when they, when you drop your ballot in the little slot, they say, state your name. And then I do. And they say, Chantel has voted. Yeah. It's a big deal.
It is a big deal. I always like it. Several really super important races happening in East Idaho all over the place. So this is where, look, I would encourage you to vote every time you get the opportunity to vote. Please get out and vote. It's very important. But when it comes to local stuff, this is where your voice really matters. Your vote is very important. So take a few minutes today, tomorrow, go vote early or wait until Tuesday and do it the day of polls will be open 8am to 8pm on Tuesday. And if you have no idea who to vote for or whatever, do a little bit of research. It doesn't take long to find out different values, different platforms and find out where people lie so that you can make a decision on who you want to vote for. I can't tell you who to vote for. That's against the rules.
Nor what I want to tell you to vote for.
Go do your own research. Right. Go vote for who you want. Go vote and do learn about the candidates and the platforms and everything. If you don't know where to vote, I was just going to say, voteidaho.gov is the website. You can go in there. You can actually view a sample ballot so you can see exactly what it's going to look like when you get there. So you can go, okay, now I know, you know, maybe you don't know everybody. Maybe you know who you don't want to vote for, but you don't know who you do want to vote for. So you want to look through the list and go, I should probably figure out who these people are.
That's fine. There's still time. Tuesday is election day, so get out and vote. If you need to find your polling location, maybe you're new to the area and you don't know, maybe you moved and you don't know where you're supposed to go, you can type in your address on there.
It'll tell you exactly where to go. And it's all at voteidaho.gov. So go, check that out. Go vote. Get your free sticker.
Yeah. Post yourself online with your happy little face and your I voted sticker. And polls open on Tuesday, 8am to 8pm, or get out and vote today or tomorrow, your last two days to vote early.
Sounds good, Josh. Anything else? I think you covered everything. Oh, if you aren't registered to vote.
Yeah, same day registration in Idaho. So you can register to vote on election day if you're not registered to vote. It's not too late. Again, voteidaho.gov has all that information. Go check that out. Go exercise your right.
Okay. Yesterday, I'm on the way home after picking up Emory from school. And we're driving through the neighborhood and there's a guy who has one of the prettiest fall trees, but all the leaves have fallen in his yard and they are like golden yellow. I saw that. They are very pretty.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they were all over in his yard and he's out there because as you mentioned earlier, people are moving the leaves to the street for the street cleanup. And so he's got his leaf blower going and he's moving all the leaves from his yard out to the pile in the street, which he's already made one pretty decent pile. He's got a lot of leaves.
And this is on like a main road through our neighborhood, right? And I had had a conversation with Emory. She was a little bit grumpy at me because I was trying to enforce. I was being a parent.
And when you have to be a parent to a teenager, it gets real quiet in the car. And so as we passed it by him, I went, you know what would be fun is if I went home and got my leaf blower and started blowing them back in his yard. And I thought, this would be a really funny video.
We should film this. So she started loosening up a little bit, kind of thinking about the idea. And then she said, every time he talks, I'd have to like point it up at his face. So we came up with this idea. So we went down and filmed it. And now I've got this video to post that I know we didn't.
Are you kidding me? What are you doing?
No, but how fun would it be? No, it wouldn't be fun. If he walked out this morning and all the leaves were spread back out in his yard, would do you think he'd be like, did I do that project yesterday? Like, what do I do now? Do I start over?
That'd be so upsetting.
I mean, he's got a lot of leaves, a lot.
Are you talking about the one right across from the stop?
Yes. That's right. I saw that house yesterday.
Anyway, except the when I saw it before you picked him right up because I'm like, they were all on his lawn when I saw him. They were so pretty.
I was like, just leave them. I know it's leave them. Leave them alone. Right. They're in the street now. But anyway, that would be one of the funniest things. Someone needs to do that. I'm not the guy to do it because the second confrontation happens, I'm going to run away.
It has to be somebody that you know. You think? You can't be with a stranger.
Or maybe you walk up and you just go like, hey, I've got this silly idea. Listen, just help me do this thing. It's going to be funny. After we're done with this, I'll help you put all the leaves back. But let me just do this. You know what I mean? Or do you go up and you do it unsuspecting and then you get the real aggressive reaction? Maybe. Maybe you don't.
Maybe you get just this like, what is happening right now? The stranger is blowing my leaves back onto my, I'd be like.
And then you go like, what? Quit putting your leaves in my street. You know?
You leaf blew our house the other day. Is that the right term? I don't know. But there's a distinctive line.
Yeah, now I want to talk about that later. Yeah, I've got that written down to discuss because I don't know how I feel about it. So we'll talk about that later on in the show. But this guy, he's got real nice leaves now piled up in the road and I just want to put them back. I just want to put them back in his yard.
Also, I will make a note that the leaf picker up people won't pick up your branches. We've seen a couple of piles that have Brent.
They won't pick those up. No, they just come by with like a street sweeper thing. Like they're not bringing out like a chipper. No. And I think it even says on the Facebook page and the website like no limbs. They're not a tree or human. True. No human limbs either. Or skeleton. Good point. Skeletal limbs.
Yeah, like if your skeleton breaks, don't put your skeleton limbs in your pile. If your skeleton breaks.
Yeah, no, they don't want that. They're just picking up your leaves.
Just leaves. Yeah. Leaves only. Yeah.
I saw them cruising through the neighborhood. They weren't picking anything up. He was just driving through. And I just think he was scoping it. Like where do I need to be? Where do I need to make sure I'm picking up the leaves at?
Because we don't need to, you just put all of ours in the compost, right? Yeah.
Well, yeah. Okay. Again, I'll talk about that later. Okay. The front yard is a different discussion. Okay. Then the backyard. The backyard is a separate, we'll talk about it later. It'll come together in the show later on today. Okay. For now, I just want to go put those leaves back. You in on it? We can go get a second leaf blower?
No. If it was somebody that I knew, yes. If it's somebody a stranger.
I feel like that's a really fun modern day tee peeing. Okay. Right? Put your leaves back out on your yard. Like, oh, like, forget about like having soggy toilet paper hanging from a tree. Now you have all your leaves back on your lawn. Oh, man.
And soggy leaves are worse than soggy toilet paper. Debatable. No. Yeah, it is debatable. Equal gross. Yeah. Equal amounts of gross. Right. Soggy anything is gross.
That is true. That is true. All right. So excuse me.
That was trying to find that.
I didn't know you were going to sneeze just then. It's my fault. I last week broke down the garden per instructions I was given by a friend of ours
who was a garden a very big gardening friend. Yeah. Who said, you know, just strike it all down, let it return into the soil. You'll have nice soil in the spring, whatever. So I worked on that. And then when he found out that I had built the compost, he said to me, like, Oh, you didn't say that.
So do this. So I broke down the garden. I had all the stuff in there.
And he's like, then mow your lawn one more time, throw whatever clippings and leaves and stuff in there and that you're going to have a beautiful compost through the winter. And I went, awesome. So that was the plan.
And so I tore down the beds, did that stuff earlier this week. What, Tuesday? Must have been Tuesday. I got out the mower to mow the front yard. And here's the thing, the dog is in the backyard. And so I didn't want, I had to get a lot of things in there. I didn't want the compost.
Right. Front yard, pretty safe if I pay attention. And if people clean up after their animals when they're walking them, things are pretty okay. Yeah. So, and the leaves were all over. And so I thought, Well, this would be a great way for me to pick up the leaves probably at the same time.
So I mowed the lawn, I mowed east, west first, and then I mowed north, south, second. And it picked up everything. And it looks great. And then I put it on top of the compost and it's like, it's good to go.
Like I'm very excited about like what I've got accomplished. Here in lies the issue you brought up earlier. The leaves from our tree and the wind combined have moved a good portion of leaves into the next door neighbor's yard. Yeah. And now, if someone plants a tree on a fence line and the tree hangs over into your yard, you have the right to trim that tree back. The overhang. Yeah.
That overhangs in your yard. You can do that. You have the legal statute or whatever to do that. Am I responsible for the leaves that fell off the tree that grows in my yard?
I don't think so because here's the other thing. We live at the end of a street and when it's windy, we get all kinds of stuff that blow into our yard.
Tons of garbage and other leaves and tumble leaves and all. People aren't necessarily responsible for coming to pick up their garbage that blows in our yard. That is fair. Because once it blows in the yard, it's mine.
It's your property. Yeah. It's yours to take care of. Now, would it be a nice thing to do if you went and knocked on the door and said, hey, I have a leaf blower. Would you like me to? Well, I know he does too. And he has a fancy electric lawnmower.
I know. I'm aware.
It would not be a terrible thing to do to be like, hey, can I take care of these for you? That's a nice name. I know it is. But I also know that they have a little boy. Right. And they have made leaf piles in the past to take pictures and have fun.
And they may be wanting to do that.
They don't have a tree in their yard. They got a lot of leaves.
So, I just don't know, like I pull up to the house and I'm like, man, that yard looks good. And then I look over and I, you, as you were saying earlier, there is a very clear-defined property line where my mowing ended and his new leaf collection starts.
It's almost like you did it intentionally. Like you're like, not my problem. I, that's what I'm saying.
I'm trying to like not feel bad about it. But I kind of feel bad about it.
I think you probably just go home and say, hey, would you like me to take care of my leaves that are in your yard for you? Because if you do it without
asking- All I'm going to do is push them out to the street so the thing can pick them up.
You wouldn't add those to the compost?
No, compost is good to go. Okay. I don't need more. I need, I just, I feel bad that they're just laying there.
Right. But he might say, oh, no thanks. I can take care of it. Yeah. Or no, thank you. We'd like to take pictures with our, with our kid.
I'd rather just mow it.
But I'm not going to mow his yard. That, because he has a very nice yard and he, and he takes care of it.
I'm not, that's why I stopped at the property line like usual. I think you just ask. I think you just- I think I, maybe because I don't, I don't really want to. I just want to make sure I don't feel bad about it. So I kind of just want to know like, if he's going to do it. Like that's more the question.
I see. Then we get to the root of it.
Like, I, if I have to mow it, I'll mow it, but I don't want to. I just don't want to go out there and just leaf blow them all. Oh, somebody will drive by and try and leaf blow them back in the yard. It'll be a whole thing. I'm just trying to sort out if I
should feel bad or do something about it. Well, they've lived there for, God, I want to say probably five years. Yeah. And every year, we just let them handle the leaves that have blown in their yard. It's, it's never really felt like an issue until this year, when there is a very distinct line separating the property.
He works a little bit later than I do. So I got home, I was working on it when he got home from work. Yeah. And he looked over and waved. He wasn't like, are you going to keep going? Like he just waved and I had my headphones on and I nodded at him like, Hey, how are you doing neighbor? The other thing is Josh,
in the winter, he has a little four wheeler snow plow and sometimes he snow plows our sidewalks.
Really good point. He does do that.
So, I mean, we got to probably take care of his leaves. Ask him first.
Yeah. Are you going to be plowing the sidewalks this year? If you are, I'll blow these leaves out to the street for you. Yeah. Right. Interesting. He probably did his fall fertilizer and he's probably not going to mow until the spring.
So then just ask him. Man. Because I do really love that he plows our sidewalks for us sometimes. That is always a nice gesture and I always bring him goodies when he does it. I know. Not always, but most of the time. Have
in the past. Yeah. This is a tough situation. I'm trying to figure out how to be the best neighbor. Do I just leave him alone and let him live his life?
You're a pretty good neighbor. Are we the best neighbor? Probably not. Are we a pretty good neighbor? Yeah. All right.
Well, I got nowhere in my resolution. Oh, no, we're nowhere. But thanks for listening anyway.
So you know how as a parent, you go into the pantry sometimes and you go, oh, we have some granola bars. Let me get a granola bar. You reach your hand in there, box is empty. And then you're instantly furious because you're like, who took the last granola bar and didn't throw the empty box away? It doesn't matter. Granola bars, it could be cereal, a tiny little bit of cereal flakes at the bottom of the cereal box. Yeah, there's still some in there.
A rolled up bag of chips with just the crumbs. Someone might want the crumbs.
You just never know. I put it back just because I don't know if somebody needs the box.
It's not time to start saving boxes yet. It's we're not at that stage.
You might need that box.
I go to put something in the fridge this morning. The company fridge here, we're all adults that work here. I had brought in some leftover pumpkin cheesecake on Monday. People have been snacking on that all week. As I go to open the fridge, I see the empty container that used to house the pumpkin cheesecake, but it's now empty. It had a knife in it. It did have a knife in it, still in the refrigerator. That's right.
That means that somebody had to take out the container. This is correct. Get their piece of cheesecake. That's correct. And put the empty container back into the fridge. 100%. What is happening?
I'll tell you, it wasn't me.
I was flabbergasted.
I know. You came back down the hall. You grabbed your phone. You said, walk with me. You have to see this. And so if you want to see the video of the first time I laid eyes on the empty cheesecake thing, you can see that on our socials now at Classic 97 KLC.
You took it out. You went to throw it away. I said, do not throw that away. You put that on the counter. We're going to write a note on that. And I wrote a note on that that said, hey, just a reminder, if it's empty, just throw it away.
I like how your approach is, no, listen, your mom doesn't work here, but I'm going to mom you right now.
There is a lesson to be learned.
You posted it on Facebook. We got a comment immediately from Victor on the K-Bear morning show. I don't know if you've seen it. I didn't. He immediately said, who do you think did it? And then he said, I'm going to blame peaches.
Impaches is the afternoon guy. That is correct.
So that's immediately, who do you think did it? I'm going to blame peaches.
Well, so then we found out from Justin from the Hawks. That's right. He said it was empty yesterday. That's right. So it's been sitting there empty since yesterday.
And he did say he made a video of it yesterday, which means two things. One, someone did that still is true. Yes. Two, it also means that he noticed it yesterday.
And didn't do anything about it. And didn't do anything about it. That's right. That is correct. Who am I working with? Children. We're all adults.
No. We're all children and adult bodies. That's what's really going on. Plus, we're radio people. We're a bunch of weird radio people.
When the last person took that last piece out, like I said, you have to take it out of the fridge and put it on the counter. Now, when you're done with that, you have two options, right? It's a step to the left garbage, a step to the right fridge. And that person said, hmm, do I go left to the garbage or do I go right to the fridge?
Because here's the thing. It's bigger than the garbage can.
Oh, that's the problem, isn't it?
Right. Now I have to actually find somewhere to put it.
Problem solve. Correct. And I could, it's too big to fit in the round garbage that's right there. So, and I don't know what else to do. I'll put it back in the fridge. Yeah. I'm not going to problem solve this. I'm going to make somebody else problem solve this.
100%. Yeah. You can't chat GPT that.
You could. You absolutely could.
Hold on. We're going to do it. Chat GPT. I just took the last slice of pumpkin cheesecake. What should I do with the empty container?
That's too big for the garbage. Are you putting that part in?
That's a good thing. That is too large.
I really do think that that is the key issue.
I think you're correct too. So we'll really, here we go. Here are a few suggestions. Rinse and reuse is number one. Oh, okay. That's a recycle angle. I like that. Okay. Because it could be used later to store leftovers, cookies, or as a temporary snack bin in the pantry.
Oh, great. Okay. Not a terrible idea.
Bonus makes a great holiday treat tub for sending leftovers home with guests. Hey. Bonus. Bonus treat tub. That's rinse and reuse. Option number two, break it down. If it's plastic, see if your recycling pickup accepts large clamshells.
It is plastic. Most do if they're clean. We don't have that. No, but it's plastic. It is. So you could break it down. You could fold it in half. Okay.
Yeah. It's not metal. You don't need like a fancy tool. You could, you could do that. Temporary storage hero is option number three. Use it to, to collect compost scraps, pet food, craft supplies, or even wrapping paper scraps during the holiday. Another recycle idea. That's right. Great. If you have a pet, it could make a fun and temporary toy bin as a pet bin.
Fun. That's number four. Number five, leave it on the counter until yourself you're letting it air dry until garbage day. But again, wash it out. Okay. And then leave it on the counter until garbage day.
I assume that you guys, I've never used it before, but I assume that this company has like a dumpster where you throw. That's right. Does everybody know that you have a dumpster? Yeah.
But let me tell you about the dumpster. Okay. It's far away. Oh no. I know. And for me, that's not a big issue. If I have something to throw away, I'll take it into my truck with me and when I leave to get lunch, I'll stop at the dumpster. I was just going to say that. And that's how I handle that.
That's. Or if I'm leaving for the day. That's a normal thing I will do. Good problem, Sally. Thank you. I've, I've done this before. Good parenting. Uh, hey, if it's empty, throw it away.
Or recycle it. Do something other than put it back into the fridge. Please.
It fits in the fridge. And now I don't have to see it.
Somebody else's problem. Ta-da.
So last night was the first night that I have cooked hamburger helper since I can't even tell you when. Uh, we talked about it, I think last week, because it's really having its moment. And we happened to go to the grocery store and I said, I got to just get a box. I haven't had it in a, in a hundred years.
I should probably see if it's still the same. Was a little bit nostalgic because they haven't changed the logo.
They haven't changed the little mascot. They've changed the font a little bit. Oh, how do you? Yeah, I was looking at it. If you look at, um, hamburger helper from the nineties, you'll see, um, there's just a little bit of a difference. So like now it just has the text. Like if you pull up the image search for hamburger helper nineties, you can see the new box versus the old one. So now we have like this, the cheeseburger mac runs a red box. The word helper is huge. Hamburger is small.
But they haven't changed. No, they still have the little glove guy. Yeah. He's got to have a name, right? What's his name?
You can hear me typing. His name is...
I don't know. It's a white gloved mascot. Yeah. Is all it says. I don't think he has a name. Lefty.
Which doesn't make sense because it looks like a... No, it's a left glove.
It's a left glove.
It's a left glove. It's a left glove. His name is Lefty. And he's been around for over 45 years.
Okay. Anyway, so Lefty the glove there is on the, is on the box still. He's got a little bit more like a 3D look to him now. But if you look at like the beef taco one, if you're doing the image search for Hamburger Helper 90s, that's what it looked like. It had the Betty Crocker spoon.
Okay. The kind of slid in from the side and Hamburger Helper was kind of like a western looking font. And now they've gone to this like, it looks like Hungry Man is what it looks like now. It's a little bit different. Do you see that?
Yeah, I do. And before that, like look at the old old ones where it was like in the skillet. And it just said Hamburger Helper about it.
Had a picture in the skillet. Kind of a different look then too. So they've gone through some rebranding a little bit. Oh, Hamburger Helper soup.
They had, I don't know if they still do that, but at one point they had soup. Anyway, so I made this and I took some notes because I thought you'd like to know exactly how it went over.
Yeah, I wasn't there for dinner last night, so I didn't get to hear the- Yeah.
And you sent me a text and said, how did dinner go over? I said, I'll tell you tomorrow on the show. So here it is. First of all, let me start at the end and then I'll go back to the beginning because Emery's reaction was better than Beck's. Beck waited until you got home to walk out to the kitchen. I had told him dinner was ready at least an hour before that.
I said, hey, dinner's ready, come eat. And he was on his headset with his friends. He was in a conversation. He was not gonna come and eat. It was very clear.
He was prioritizing that. Okay. So when you came home and he heard you had come home is when he came out and he walked into the kitchen and he said, what's the deal with dinner? And I said, I told you it was done an hour ago. It's on the stove. He walked into the kitchen and then walked back to his room. He never came back to the kitchen. So I don't know if he ate dinner. I don't eat there. But he certainly didn't eat hamburger helper for dinner.
Which one did you make? What was the one? I made the beef noodle one. Okay. The one that I remember eating a lot as a kid. Okay. So here is exactly what Emery said because I went to get her and she begrudgingly came out of her room and said, what is it? And I said, it's hamburger helper. Well, actually what I said is it's noodles and beef and like a gravy thing. And she goes, is it hamburger helper? I said, yeah. She said, why didn't you just say that? Because it's noodles and beef.
Yeah. Like I told you what it is. What difference does it make? Like we would have made that regardless. It's fine. It's dinner. So she dished up a little bowl of it. A pretty good okay bowl. Wasn't like heaping. But she got a good couple of scoops in there. Okay. And I was like, okay, this is promising.
And she said, why does it have no color? And I said, what do you mean? Said it's all just like one color. Like there's no vegetables. Is there spinach? Is there cilantro or something? There's no seasonings. Whoa. That's what she said first of all. Okay.
I'm impressed by that because that makes me feel like we, when we make a typical dinner, are doing a good job of putting vegetables and seasonings.
Color and seasonings. I know. And I know. Yeah. Why does it have no color? There are no seasonings. Is there spinach or cilantro or something? And I said, on the box it said you could mix in some frozen mixed vegetables. And she goes, yeah, color. And I went, okay.
So she sat down with her bowl and looked at it. And here is the quotes. This is horrid. Oh no.
If you're desperate, go for it. It tastes like plastic. I'm going to make my own pasta after I eat this bowl for your sake. That's hilarious. She did eat the bowl.
Good for her.
Which I was very happy with. Super hero of pasta. But nope. Then she air fried some chicken and put some sweet and sour sauce on it and called that dinner.
Which again, where's the color in that?
No, it was sweet and sour pink. Chicken is brown. Two different colors. To be fair, everything in the bowl was brown.
It was. A horrid, I think is extreme. She was not having a good time. I had a bowl of it when I got home. It wasn't horrid by any means. Did it lack a lot of flavor? Yeah. But we cook with a lot of seasonings.
Right. Our house cooks. I did pepper it. I didn't pepper it in the pan. I added pepper to my plate. Okay. Here's what you pointed out. And you're not wrong. There's a lot of meat in it. And I said, yeah, that's because it's hamburger helper. So yeah, it will have hamburger in it. If you just had the helper alone, I'd worry about you.
But I like to have, because I don't really love to eat meat. And I eat it because my body needs protein. Right. But I like to have a nice mix of noodle and meat. Right. And I ran out of noodle before I ran out of meat. Gotcha. And then I had a bowl of hamburger leftover. And
I went. Which you then put it back in the pan. And that's in my leftovers now for today, for lunch. So thank you. You're welcome. It's fine. I think the next one, which I assume I'm cooking tonight, which is an enchilada and rice one. That one looks good. Yeah, we've had that one before. I've had that one before. I've had it a hundred times. Maybe.
But we'll see how this one goes over. But maybe some vegetables on the side. Okay. Maybe add a few extra seasonings. We could add some cumin.
Well, this one already comes with more colors, because it isn't just brown. Okay. It's got rice and it's got that cream sauce that goes over the top.
Okay. So let's add. It's got a little bit more to it. Let's give it a little of our own. We'll put in some cumin. We'll put in some cilantro.
I can cook the meat with some seasonings. We could. I could do some onion in there. Yeah.
We could even put in some grilled corn. Hmm? I did. What? No. Why? I don't need that. Fine. I'll do it in my own. Okay. If you char up some corn.
Yeah. Yum. I'm going to do that. No, I've had charred corn. I just don't want that. I do. It's not really speaking to me. Well, then don't have it. So I'm not going to put it in the whole dish is what I'm saying. Fine.
Be my guest.
Have a room for round two tonight. We'll tell you how it goes tomorrow.
I have a condition.
Okay. I just walked in to see what condition my condition was. Is your condition where your brain, and I think it's an ADD thing, an ADHD thing. I'm not the one to diagnose you, but you can so easily sidetrack your entire conversation when something triggers a song lyric.
Or movie.
Yeah. A movie quote, whatever it is. You like everything stops until you get that purged.
And then you go, okay, and now I'm back. Yeah. Is that your condition? I'm one of. Alrighty. Whatever that's called, you have that. I do have that for sure. So I really do have a medical condition where I have to go get infusions every six months. So yesterday was my infusion day. And it's always a tricky. Here's what happened yesterday. It's always an adventure. It takes about five to six hours.
It's a long. At the infusion center for a very long time. And they give me Benadryl to begin with, which knocks me out. Fine. I'm happy to sleep the day away. The nurse that was helping me was like, it's a forced self care day. And I go, yeah, kind of, but I'd rather be doing a self care day at home. That's true. I mean, this is great and all, but. Is that an option? That would be fantastic. Wouldn't it?
I mean, you have somebody hanging out at the house all day, but is that an option?
I don't know. I don't know. I don't, I would not be able to relax if somebody was hanging out at my house, a stranger in my house. No, that would be so uncomfortable.
Maybe the first couple of times, but after, after a couple of years of doing it, I think you'd be like, Hey, what's up? Welcome back. Here we go.
Here's the problem because the Benadryl, like I said, knocks me out, but they come around every 15 minutes to check vitals. So you pass out in these very uncomfortable chairs. They recline, but it's still, and it's cold.
I know. And so it's not like restful sleep by any means. And then they attach you a blood pressure cuff and so then that's constantly squeezing your arm every, you know, half hour or so. And so then you're like, self care day, really?
So relaxing. And you're hooked up to an IV, right? So if you have to go to the restroom, you have to like. Wave for help and say, can you untether me so that I can go to the bathroom? And then you feel like a jerk because it's a process for them to hook you up and unhook you. And they're always so nice about it. But I told her, I go, I purposely haven't been drinking anything this morning because I haven't.
So they probably love that because that helps your veins when you're dehydrated. That's smart.
I can't win. Okay. So that was the one issue. I think I had to get up three separate times and I'm
always over the course of like six hours. Yeah, that checks out.
I thought that was pretty good actually.
Yeah. But I mean, it's better than once an hour.
Okay. And so then I bring like a book to read and I make sure my phone is charged and I was watching Netflix. Yeah. And then I kept like falling asleep and then I'd have to rewind my show at one point. My headphones disconnected. Oh.
And so that's just playing in the room. Yes. No way.
Not loudly and not for a long long time.
Okay. But were you aware of it or did you find that out when you woke up one time and it was playing?
I was awake. Oh, could you imagine? That would be so bad. Somebody's tapping me like, hey, excuse me.
Your show is really loud. Could you turn that down? That's very funny.
And then at one other time I had fallen asleep and I was a little bit drooly in my mouth and then I went, yeah, I know her. I've met her before. Hey everybody. Yeah. Good to see you. I always love those days. Yeah. When my infusion days come around I go hot, diggity dog.
It's the time. That's awesome. This is the day I get humbled. I've been there. I did an antibiotic infusion for a couple of weeks and had to go in pretty regularly. Man, that place. It's an experience.
If you've never had to do infusion stuff, it's something else. Like they've got it down to a science. Bro, they're very good. And those nurses in there, holy smokes, they are working hard all day. All day long. On their feet all day.
And they're so nice. Oh yeah. Great people. They, you know, the room that you're in has like eight chairs. So there's four on one side, four on another. That's right. And everybody's hooked up to something different. But anytime it empties, then you're beeping. So they always hear the beeping
and they come in and they look around. Who's in there beeping? Who's in there? They got to get a light system. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like some of it just flashes or turns on a light. So they go, oh, that's where I'm headed.
But it's so, it really is, it is a little bit of a self-care day because they're like, do you need a warm blanket and a snack?
Yes. Yes, I do. Thank you. If they're allowed to give you that, depending on what you're there for, they might not be able to give you a snack. I've had that happen where I go, come on, what about a snack? And I'm like, nope, not today.
I bring my own snacks too.
Well, you're there for hours. You can do that. I was kind of hoping you would have brought me lunch or something. I texted you and said, hey, I'm headed to lunch.
Do you need anything? And you said? I don't know what to say. No, I'm good. So if you wanted lunch, that was the opportunity to go, hey, yeah, actually, if you want to stop and bring me something, that'd be awesome.
Well, because it's awkward for the guest there because there's not a lot of room and there's no extra chairs. I don't even have to stick around.
But you wouldn't have wanted what I had for lunch anyway.
No, you picked something gross.
Because you said, no, I'm good. So then I said, all right, I'm going to my place then.
I was good because I only had an hour left. I was like, I'll just go get lunch when I'm done.
And then what was the next text that you sent me after that? I'm starving. And then I went, well, you should have told me to bring you lunch. I was out and about.
You should have read between the lines when I said I'm good and like, I'm just going to bring it anyway. Nope.
I asked, I got an answer. If you wanted a different outcome, give the different answer. That's how it works. It's very black and white in my world.
I know it is, but it is not in my. I asked 20 years later. I got an answer. You still miscommunicate. You got lunch eventually. On my own accord. Yep. Last night, it's about 9.50.
Right? I go to bed at 10. That's the time I snuggled down in my bed. But took a shower last night and then I got on my pajamas and then I just laid down on the bed and I was watching TV. The door was open, lights were on.
I was not necessarily headed to bed, but I was winding down. Here comes Emory. Oh no. She said, hey, I have that Halloween party tomorrow at work. And I went, oh, that's right. What kind of treat are you going to take? Because we've been talking about what treat she should take.
Oh yeah. Hey, don't forget to send me a reminder about that.
I've already got it down. Perfect. Thank you. Appreciate that. But I've been trying to get her to tell me what she wants. I've gone to the store a couple of different times this week. I go, do you want anything for your treat? I don't know. I don't know.
Now her party is here and I go, what do you want to take? And she goes, oh, I don't know. And I go, okay, well, I'm not going to have time after work.
So you're going to have to have dad do it when he picks you up from school. And she says, okay, fine. And then I said, do you want to wear your costume to the work party?
I kind of forgot about that part. There's a little bit of sewing I have to do on our costume. And she goes, I don't know, which means yes, I do. Yes,
but I don't want to put you out. Exactly. Yeah. And so I said, give me your costume. Because you two speak the same language.
We absolutely do. And I said, give me your costume. And she goes, no, it's late. It's late. I said, ah, I know it's late, but give me your costume. I'll just do it right now. And then I go downstairs and now it's, you know, 10, a little after 10. And my sewing machine is buried by other projects I've been working on. That's right. So then I have to make a space for my ironing board because I have to iron her costume.
And you don't have a stand-up one. You have one that sits on a desktop, which so now you've got to clear off your entire desk in order to put the, okay.
And it's a mess in there because I've been working on a different project. So I iron it and then I get my sewing machine cleared off. And for some reason my bobbin kept getting jammed up and I was like, don't have time. And I'm just mad and I'm cranky and I'm tired.
And I'm like, what is my sewing machine? Never cooperate. So I'm saying a lot of bad words. And I pull up my bobbin, I rethread it. It's still doing the same thing. I'm like, I don't, oh, I don't know what's happening. And I'm just getting very mad and very frustrated. And I finally just rip out my bobbin and I throw it in the corner because I'm.
You're an adult. You're a mature adult.
I'm emotionally stable. Right.
And then you turned off the machine.
It turned off the machine, turned off the iron.
I saw you hand sewing.
And I grabbed all my hand sewing stuff. I thought I'm just going to do this because this is going to be faster.
I wondered why you were hand sewing, but I was picking up an energy that said, don't ask. So I didn't.
It had been a very long day. The last thing I wanted to be doing was sewing at 10 o'clock at night.
Right. No, I got that energy and I said, don't say anything. Don't say anything. Nothing you say is going to help. Do you remember what I did say? When I walked in the bedroom? What you're working on over there and you want to know what I got? Not even a look up. So I said, that'll do. Just get ready for bed. Okie doke. What you working on there? All right. Clearly.
Clearly you can tell what I'm working on.
All right. See, and even now today, hours later, nearly 12 hours later, I said, what you working on? And you went, you knew what I was working on. It's still there. This is like when you thought you put the fire all the way out.
Yeah. And there were still some coals in there. And in the middle of the night, the wind came up and all of a sudden you wake up and there's fire going again.
No, the fire's out. Yeah, it's out. I feel like I'm getting a little burned. Little bit of scorch. That don't stand too close to the fire.
That's, see, I knew those coals were still hot. I knew it. I knew it. It's would you rather this or that?
Would you rather have a costume that scares everyone or one that makes everyone laugh? A laugh one. A laugh one for me too. Yeah.
I worked in a haunted house and I wore a scary, like a real scary like head and torso mask. It was hot. It was gross in there. But it was so when Beck and I worked in the Spook Alley.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I did it only for like a couple of nights. It was interesting to be on that side of the Spook Alley. And the thing I was wearing was a full like latex torso. So like I had a shirt on, but it covered it had sleeves and everything. So like you it covers you like clear down to your wrists. So it had arms and a torso and a head all as one piece.
Okay. So it's really hot in there because all your body is like, you know, 98, whatever degrees and then you're working in it and it was gross. I didn't enjoy the after effect of being in that thing, but it was fun scaring people. I bet. It was real fun being a scare actor. You're in that dark play. It was like a zombie thing.
It had scraggly hair. It was really cool, really cool. So I did enjoy that. But all in all, I think being a little more lighthearted, making people laugh and having a fun thing.
I like that better. Me too. That's where it's at. Me too. Yeah. I like that one too.
Yeah. Plus I don't have to be all hot.
Well, you still could be depending on what your costume is. I guess. If you pick something that's funny, that might be hot too. Depending on how high the temperature is set. You know.
In the room. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If the thermostats are hot, you can be hot.
I mean, you could be wearing a bikini and maybe it's really set at 95 degrees.
And I'm going to tell you, that makes some people laugh, but also it might scare some people. That's a scary one. So, yay.
Easy one today, I suppose.
Yeah. Would you rather this or that? So we told you that last Saturday was the last farmer's market that was going to be outside. They now enter into their indoor winter market. Yes. And this Saturday from 9 to 1 will be the first one. Do you know where they do this? I do.
Snake River Convention Center at 780 Lindsay Boulevard. That's where. In Idaho Falls.
That's right. Yeah. This is the Idaho Falls Farmers Market. And this Saturday, this is really something special. This Saturday, November 1st is when a lot of people around the country are going to start to feel the stress of a lack of SNAP and EBT credit. And so this is something really cool that the Idaho Falls Farmers Market is doing. They will be giving current SNAP and EBT recipients up to $40 on vouchers to spend on fresh local food products, including produce, meat, dairy items, eggs, and select packaged foods at the farmer's market.
You will have to show your SNAP or EBT card at the info booth, but with no charge, they'll get $20 to spend on SNAP-eligible items plus another $20 for just local fruits and vegetables, which is so cool.
I think that's amazing. So cool. And they said, come out, enjoy the market, and know that we are here for you, which is incredible. I've also seen, there's a couple of restaurants. I've seen one in Idaho Falls and one in Pocatello who have said, hey, listen, we don't want our community to go hungry. So come to our restaurant, show us your SNAP and EBT cards, and we will give you some food, which I think is amazing. And I really love and appreciate that there's community people who are stepping up and helping. Yeah, it's a big deal. I love that.
Snake River Convention Center 780 Lindsay Boulevard is where this is happening. The first indoor winter market with the Idaho Falls Farmers Market, again, it'll be happening on Saturday, 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. So if you are in need, you know you're going to be in need over the next week or so. Stop by, get yourself some stuff. That's a really great opportunity to show up and make that happen.
And thanks to friends and families and the people that are making that happen at the Idaho Falls Farmers Market, that's fantastic. Yep. And now you know. Oh, is it really the end of the show?
It really, really is.
I just looked over and we were done. Okay. Well, that's going to do it for us then.
That is going to do it for us. Tomorrow, Friday, Halloween, costume reveal.
I know. I got to, there's a couple of things I still have to do for mine. I'm kind of stressing out a bit.
Are you? Well. How out of character? I'm excited. I have no idea what you're going to be dressed up as. You really have no clue. I have no idea. Every time you have some sort of secretive surprise, you're like, you knew the whole time. No. And also, I don't bother myself with worrying about it like you do. So no, I don't have any idea. Okay. No, I haven't snooped around to try to find out anything because I'm excited to see what you've been working on. Okay.
I'm excited too. I think it's going to be funny. I hope it's going to be funny. Do I think it's going to win any awards? No.
Well, I hope so. Do I think it's going to get like a chuckle or two? Okay. I really do. And did you say it is a character? It's not a pun. So it's not, it's a thing. It's not like a play on words. Correct. Okay. Well, I'm excited to see.
I'm going to, yeah. I'm going to do a video of the reveal.
Yeah. Okay. So I will be revealing mine. You already know, but no one else does. So I will be revealing mine and I'm trying to decide if I bring it and change into it or if I just wear it all day.
I'm going to have to change into mine here. Yeah. And then I'm going to have to change out of it.
Because then I don't want to have to carry around other clothes.
Like I'm just going to wear it. I'm just going to wear it all day. Yeah, it's fine. It's Halloween. Yeah. Just do it.
It's going to wear it all day. Hey, that's me wearing this all day.
I'm excited. I like Halloween. I think it's fun.
This will be a good time. So tomorrow morning, join us for the show. We'll be here bright and early. Have a great rest of your Thursday. Check out the show on demand everywhere you listen to podcasts. You can listen to this one.
