Full show transcript:
I'm trying to log into a website and I can't remember my username or my password, and I thought it would just be the thing I use for most things, but it's yelling at me and saying that I it's not.
Oh no. And so I wanted to do a username reminder and a password reset. And so I have to put in my uh my email address, and then I have that I'm not a robot checkbox that I have to hit. Uh-huh. It's just sitting there spinning. It's been spinning for minutes. It's driving me nuts. How do I fix that? That's not even my problem.
No, yeah, I don't think you can fix it. I think you just have to wait. I think maybe the sites may be just overloaded with people. I don't think so. Their site's broken of some kind. Right. I don't think you can't.
You're gonna have to call their support people. You're gonna have to. That's ridiculous. I'm gonna have to call support people and go, I can't prove to your website I'm not a robot. I hate that.
Why do I have to tell a robot that I'm not a robot? Like you should know.
What was your capture?
No, it's just the checkbox. Oh, I see. It's just the I'm not a robot.
I like the checkbox. I don't like the find all of the bicycles. I don't like that one. Um, the puzzle one's not so bad where you have to move the puzzle piece over to fit in the spot. Do you know what I'm talking about? That one's not bad.
What about the circle one? Have you seen that one where you have to move the dial and the two circles turn opposite directions? That one's annoying. I haven't seen that one. Yeah. I don't like the find all the stoplights.
That one's a lot of things. That's what I just said. I can't. Because I'm like, I got them all. And there's like a little snippet of the crosswalk in one of the pictures, and I go, Are you kidding? Oh, that one makes me mad.
Um there's all select all the motorcycles.
There's also the one where you have to read the letters.
Yeah, I could see those letters a long time where they're all squiggly. And then you're like, is that a Y or a Q? I can't say.
You have to be case sensitive. And I'm like, I can't tell if that X is capital or not. Good point. Get out of here. Robots. I know.
But I can't uh I can't complete the CAPTCHA. Sorry, Josh. Because uh it won't process that I click the box as a human. It's making me crazy. Sorry. Good luck. Here's today's show. Good morning.
Uh good morning. What's happening? What's happening with you, buddy? We've made it to the middle of the week. Last night I was taking the garbage out to the corner, and you said, Is it Wednesday already? And I said, Yes. And you were like, Yes.
Because I'm excited for it to be Wednesday already. Yeah. Everybody's working for the weekend. I Everybody.
All week. Every week. And we had a short week last week, which always makes a full five-day week that much longer, doesn't it? Agreed. Yes. Yes, it does. And uh and on Friday, we've got a little bit of an adventure. Which will be fun. So we've got a little after work. Work. Work. Adventure. So that just pushes the week even that much a little bit longer.
It's okay, because that's a fun. It's a fun adventure.
I'm excited too, yeah. Because you know what else is gonna happen down there. What's that? Um probably get some popcorn. That's what's gonna happen. You can't go to the popcorn shop and put the cello and not get popcorn. What's your favorite kind of popcorn? Well, they have so many. I know. It's gonna be hard. I really like the cinnamon. The Tuti Fruity's never a problem. That's a that's a solid every time. Huckleberry.
Maybe. Oh, Huckleberry, buddy.
Look, I know where we live, but also I'm not that huge on the Huckleberry. I know. Like, why did uh that's fine. Why did what? Why did we decide let's make a bunch of Huckleberry stuff?
Because it's delicious. That's why.
Rocky Mountain Huckleberry. Right.
Who was the who was the first guy that was like, we can make soap, we can make honey, we could make honey butter, we could make candies, we could make any Huckleberry's good with everything. Huckleberry, all the things. Yeah. That's what we're known for.

I'm gonna get some popcorn.
I was just looking at their they have an almond joy one, so that's probably what I'm gonna get. We're gonna have so much popcorn. Yeah, and I'm just saying this orange cream sickle. Delicious. So many. All right.
That's what Friday's looking like. Not a bad thing at all. Not at all. Uh but anyway. That I would say. was saying. I should crunch. Oh. Oh. With cashews in it. Yeah.
And same with peacone crunch. That's not for me, but I know you would m you like that. I just don't even know what I'm gonna get. So all of them. All of them.
We're gonna have all of them. All right. Well, good morning. Hey, it's Josh and Chantel. And that's our plan plans for Friday afternoon. Let's do some good news here. Uh Cape Verde is one of the smallest countries in Africa. And this year, for the first time in history, uh Cape Verde's soccer team qualified for the World Cup in North America. Nice. I know.
Kind of a big deal. The goalkeeper for the team is a 40-year-old named Vozina. Go 40 year olds.
Yeah. Uh who was excited to get the chance to play in the tournament and was also excited for his mother, Anna Candida Ivora, to be here in North America to see the action live. But there were a lot of obstacles involved in getting Anna halfway around the world to see her son.
She has never left Cape Verde in her entire life. Money was an issue. Flying to America is a 24-hour trip. Well. And Anna didn't have a passport.
Oh no. So when stories about Anna's travel challenges went viral, people from all around the world have stepped in to help, and officials from the U.S. State Department, FIFA, U.S. lawmakers, Cape Verde's Football Federation. They all work together to help clear a path for Anna to travel to Miami for the tournament. And when she arrived at the airport, FIFA officials and volunteers were there to welcome her just in time to watch her son represent his country in person at the World Cup.
Oh, that's awesome. The team is still in the mix. They're scheduled to play Saudi Arabia on Friday.
I was just looking at that. If Cape Verde beat Saudi Arabia, the fun will continue for continue for both Anna and Vosina, uh, as they would qualify for the round of 32 and continue playing for a World Cup championship. So that's uh pretty cool little story.
Pretty cool little story now in the background of World Cup. Dude, I love all the World Cup stories. They're so nice. I know. It's a lot of fun. And that is good news. Have you ever had a Charlie horse?
I mean, probably in my life at some point. Bro. You get them all the time.
I do get them all the time. And I eat potassium. Okay. When's the last time you had a banana? Okay. It's been a long time since I've had a banana.
Are you taking a supplement for potassium? No. So you don't.
Well, lately, but before I have. Okay. All right.
In your life, you've had a banana. Got it. Got it. Got it. Um last night. So I should not get a leg cramp.
Bro, let me tell you, last night, a wake up, Charlie Horse. Yeah. Like crazy. And sometimes people, when they have a Charlie horse, will just rub it out. Yeah. Sometimes people will just like put their leg in a more comfortable position. So then it just kind of goes away on its own. That's what I tend to do. Except last night it hurt so bad that every time I try to get in a more comfortable position, it would hurt my ankle.
And as you remember Right. You hurt your ankle. I the step the other day. Because you hurt your ankle walking. So my ankle was all messed up. So last night, between the Charlie horse and the sore ankle, I was I was doing it.
We're just gonna have to take the leg.
Ah and I was trying to be quiet because I didn't want to wake you up. So I just kept going, oh I didn't hear anything.
No, I know you didn't. That's awesome.
I just want you to know that for about a half an hour I was like,
What you mean you could have got out the percussion gun and uh and tried to shake the muscles.
Sometimes you don't even touch it. Sometimes it just hurts too much to touch it. I heard if you punch it, that helps. No, I'm pretty sure it doesn't. I finally was like rubbing it a little bit. Like settle down. What is the deal? It hurt. It hurt a lot. I'm glad I didn't wake you up. I'm glad you were just slumbered away while I was suffering in silence.
They say you should use gentle stretching and ice and rest.
I was trying to get some rest. I I'm not I wasn't gonna get up to get ice. I couldn't even walk on it. There's no way. It should have woken you up and said, Hey, go give me some ice.
Let's see if punching a leg cramp helps. Stand up and put your weight on the cramped leg while bending your knee slightly. Alternatively, you can sit down and keep your legs straight and pull your toes towards your face.
No, I couldn't. My ankle hurt too bad. Could it? Was it in your calf? Yeah. Okay, that was the calf stretch.
If it's in your thigh, there's a couple of different stretches you could do. Here's the thing, Josh. I'm laying in bed. That's the thing.
I'm asleep. It had woken me up. I'm not getting out of bed.
Gently rub the spasmed muscle to help it release or apply a heating pad. I'm not a tight area.
You think I'm gonna get out of bed, get the heating pad, go microwave the heating pad.
No, that's the that's the rice bag. The heating pad's right there in your drawer.
Yeah, you still have to plug it in. It's right there. No way, dude.
The wall is right next to where you're at.
I still have to get out of bed to plug it in. Yeah. It's not happening. Oh, what way. I just suffered in silence. All right. Don't worry about me. Keep on sleeping. Don't even worry about it.
You were trying to not wake me up. So don't be mad at me now because I stayed asleep when you were trying to not disturb me. That makes no sense. It makes all the sense. What are you crazy? I guess I'm crazy.
I wish no Charlie Horse on anyone. They hurt. Why are they called a Charlie horse?
I don't know. I was just looking at leg cramp uh stuff, but why is it called that? I don't know. Shall we look that up really fast? Oh, okay, sure. Stall while I Google. What should I stall?
It's like talk. Say some stuff. I already have the answer. Uh you do? Sure. We'll say.
Well, the exact origin remains a mystery, but uh historians trace the slang to the 1880s. It's an American baseball jargon.
No, that's not what I see.
Yeah. The ground keeper's horse, a persistent uh antidote suggests a horse named Charlie pulled rollers on the Chicago white stockings field before they were the white socks, and injured uh player who limped around the bases and reminded teammates of the horse. So it was Charlie horse. Leg issues. They are the worst.
I I wish that on no one.
Another theory is less about a horse and more about a pitcher in the 1880s called Charlie Old Haas Radborn, who frequently suffered from severe leg cramps during games. So they're like, oh, you got a Charlie horse, because his name was Old Hoss. Oh. Those are the two theories. Fascinating.
I thought it would be more exciting than that. It's all right.
It usually never is.
No. Hey, I just want you to know that I'm ripoering today. Legs are great. Super. Ankle feels fine. You're good sitting there? It's so good. I think it's because you took me on a walk last night. I did.
It's all your fault. Hey, let's go for an afternoon evening walk. Okay. You're welcome. You know, there are things in life that like you're perfectly fine, and then like something inconsequential happens and you go, Oh, that makes me so mad.
And it can you give me an example?
Oh, I'm gonna talk about it. Yeah. Oh, okay. It might not be upsetting for other people, but this one thing that people do or have done really drives me crazy. Okay. It's when you get to a four-way stop. Yes. And you know, according to the law that it's somebody else's turn to go.
Okay. And they just sit there and they sit there and then they wave you to go. And I go, oh no. You don't get to determine who gets to go. Yeah. You're not doing me a favor. Right. That drives me crazy.
I know that about you. I know that you are not the type of person to be uh real hip on uh somebody telling you how to drive your car. Even when they're uh your spouse and they're just trying to be like, hey, you could go, and you're like, oh, can I?
I just I don't, yeah. I don't like when people are like, and I know that they're being kind or they're being polite and they're saying, go ahead, you can go. I go, no, you don't get to determine the rules. The rules have already been determined, and you blew it. So yeah, I am gonna go because you didn't go when it was clearly your turn.
So you you end up giving them the like, see, I did a good thing. No. Look at how she goes. There She goes. I waved her through, and there she goes. I win.
No, I I go fat, like I go mad out of the four-away stop.
I go, and and other people in their other vehicles can sense that. They know you are angry. I don't like when people wave yawn uh because you're not in my car. And I will just sit. And I like that way more. It's way more fun.
What do you mean? When people wave yawn, I just sit there and I go, no. I shake my head at them. I go, no. No. And then they go, okay, fine, I'll go. And I go, Yeah, you will. Yeah, because you're in your car. I will drive mine.
Thank you very much. You have the right of way. Yeah. So you go.
I mean, even not at a four-way stop. If I'm stopped and somebody's trying to tell me that it's like, oh, it's clear to go. No, it's not. You don't know what I can see. Have a nice day. Continue on your way.
I just don't like when people are like, hmm, I'll make up all the rules, so I'm gonna let you go. I go, no, you don't have any power here. But then yet you still go. Well, yeah, because I go,
stay still and shake your head out.
No, no, I was gonna go. Because I was gonna get out of the way. I was like, yeah, I'm not gonna be stuck behind you. Because I we were all we were both going to the light. And I went, I'll go darn right. I'll go. Okay. All right. But you better know that I'm mad about it. And you better know that I didn't go because you told me to.
I hope you three people wave at you today and go, come on. Come on, go. It's your turn. And you go. Try it, try my method. Sit still and just shake your head at them. Look them right in the right in the face and go, no.
No, because then that means that I'll be stuck there for a while. Yeah. But that means you win.
No, doesn't it though? You take you retake control. They go, go, and you go, mm-mm. No. I refuse. Put your car and park and get out. Throw the keys at their car. Now who's driving? Nobody.
Now who's gonna go? Guess it's gonna be you. Yeah.
My car isn't even on. I'm not even in it.
I should have sat. You know what I should have done? Is just wave them to go. And then they would wave me to go. And then it would just been a battle of waving each other.
And then when they start to go, you start to go. Yeah. Yeah. And then you collide.
No, no, no, not that part. Yeah, well.
That's the progression of things.
That's actually a funny sketch that you just slowly inch by inch.
Like, go, no, go.
Get through the intersection. Come on. There's no crashing involved. You just slowly make yourself get there inch by inch to the light.
Stupid. Anyway, don't try to drive my car, is what I'm trying to say.
Don't wave me to go when it's clearly your turn. Yeah. I don't like that. I just want everybody to.
But also just don't wave me to go at all. You just drive your drive. I'll drive mine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right? Go ahead. If you're trying to wave, it better be to say hi, how are you doing? Yeah. I'll just wave back. Like I think you're waving at me like you know me. Oh, hey. Hey, good to see you.
I was in our bathroom at home yesterday and I happened to look around and I went hmm, that looks like a random toenail. Gross. And then I looked around, I saw another one, and then I saw another one. And I went, no.
Who in my family has clipped their toenails and hasn't bothered. They just let him fly all willy-nilly. Who? I have one guest. I have one guest too. Was it you? It was not me. It wasn't me. And I know it wasn't our daughter. Well.
So leaves one there's one young man in the house.
Do you think if I ask him about it, he's gonna admit to doing it? No, I do not. No, I do not either.
And then we're gonna have to do DNA tests to find out.
We're gonna have to have another lesson. We're gonna have to have listen. You think you teach your kids stuff? And then the things don't get done properly. And you go, I really feel like I taught you this as a parent.
Like I feel like you talked about what to do with your toenails when you clip them. Okay, we're because I'm feeling like it's probably like well, I clipped it and it flew, and I didn't know where it went. Yeah, but there were multiple. That's one. And then the next one flew and I don't know where it went. And then I did the third toe and it flew, and I don't know where it went.
I feel like it's common sense to just maybe do it over the uh garbage can. Yeah, or you know, know where they land and pick them up.
Yeah, clean up after yourself. Yeah.
I thought I I thought I taught that lesson. I don't know, but apparently not. Yeah. Apparently not. I'm still teaching, I'm still trying to teach the replace the toilet paper on the little thing. On the hook. Yeah. I still still I called everybody in one day and I said, I was there.
I was there for that family meeting.
Does everybody know how to do that? And everybody said yes. And I said, let's have a quick lesson anyway. Let's have our little refresher. Mm-hmm. I still go into the bathroom and the toilet paper's on the counter, and I go. Why? I'm living with animals.
That's what I am doing. Living with animals. I I know. Sometimes do you ever think? I never lived alone. Like I went from living with my parents to living in the dorms to living in an apartment where I always had roommates to living with you. Yeah. I'd never lived alone. But sometimes I go, oh man. Doesn't that sound nice to live alone?
And have things be right where you left them. Yes. You leave the house. The house is exactly the same as when you left. Right. Doesn't that sound nice? Uh-huh. Panama man.
See, eventually it'll just be you and I. And it'll be my piles and your piles. Yeah. And as long as you leave my piles, my stuff will be where I left it.
Yeah, it's still not the same. As much as I love you, living with you is not the same as living alone. But it'll be closer. How about? How about? You have I'll have an adjoining house. Oh, really? Yeah.
So you can come visit my spotless clean house.
Yeah, I'll come visit your house and then yeah, you can get invited over.
I'll have my male living space. Yeah. With just a chair and a TV on the floor. Yes. Yeah.
And then I'll say, hey, I'm gonna go visit today. Yeah. But you can't come over unless I invite you in.
That is so rude.
Don't come into my space uninvited. Wow.
Adjoining houses and I'm not welcome.
You're welcome. You just can't come over unannounced. That's you have to be invited.
You're welcome. No. That's not very welcoming. Yes, it is. No. I can walk into our shared domicile right now anytime I want. That's welcome. That's the problem. That's no. I'm not the problem. Sometimes you're the problem. No. Only when you have my stuff on the table next to where you have to eat. Yeah. That's it.
And when you have a collection of bags in the middle of the living room, and I go, whose bags are these?
I am taken aback right now that your bags were laying in the living room for a week. And then finally I went, enough's enough. And I put them away. Or all of the piles of shoes that I get to trip on.
There is a pile, there's lots of piles of shoes. I'll give you that. Yeah. I know. So And that bag, there was one bag that you had to put away, and it was my hiking backpack. And you had to do that.
And all of the stuff you laid around it. Yeah. Because you went, This all just goes with it. So I'll just leave it all here.
Because you have a system in your gear loft. And I go, I don't know how his system is.
I didn't put your stuff away. It's still sitting there because you wanted me to show you where it goes. So it's still just sitting in the garage, not put away. Okay.
Let's put it away today. You can show me your system. Yeah, right. I'm excited about it.
No, no, you're not. It's not gonna happen. Talk to the boy about his gross toenails.
Yeah. You talk to the boy about his gross toenails. You tag.
I'm just gonna hand him a broom and I'm gonna go sweep up your toenails. You're disgusting. What have you what are you doing? Do it nicer. Why? Because that's rude.
Don't do it. Leaving his toenails laying around is rude. Clean up after yourself.
You have toenails everywhere. Sweep the bathroom. Gross. I mean, at least they're in there and not in the kitchen or something, but that's terrible. That is terrible. Yeah. But gross. Yeah, totally gross.
Girose is what I said. What if they're not his though? Whose would they be?
What if they're yours or the girl one?
They're not mine. And I'll tell you how I know they're not mine.
Because you haven't clipped yours in months. You snaggle toes.
I found this cool thing on TikTok. It's called drum talk.
Yeah. You were uh very excited to show this to me last night. You you were outside on the deck. I came outside and you were like, listen, look at this. I found drum talk.
Drum talk. Yeah. Uh for the past couple of months. I've uh thought about taking drum lessons and learning how to play the drums. We have a drum kit at our house. That's right. I feel like I could take drumming lessons. I feel like I kind of want to. Okay. I would like to drum as well.
I think I would really enjoy that.
I uh doesn't it sound fun and look fun. So drum talk is it's just a guy, just one guy's TikTok, and he plays maybe like what 20 seconds of a song.
I have no idea. You watched it. I don't know how long you played it.
He plays like 20 seconds of a song, and you're supposed to start it's like a name this tune.
Yeah, kinda kind of thing. Name that tune. I'm pretty good at it. Okay.
I've watched four videos now.
Oh, and he has multiple songs in each video? No.
He has one song per video. So you've watched four, and you're pretty good at it. I'm pretty good at it, yeah. Okay.
I thought maybe you'd watched like twenty or something.
No, I could watch more. Well, I know.
But don't go watching them all at once. But I was pretty good at it. Okay. That's all. It was cool.
It was a cool page to stumble across.
You uh played one for me and I got it that quick, and you were like, Yeah, I got that one too. And I okay. And then this morning you just played one a minute ago, and I went, uh, that's I know that is. And then you played another one and you were like, ah, I'm thinking about it, I'm thinking about. And then you uh sang along to the thing. Was that correct?
The one you sang? Yeah. Okay, good. Duh.
So you've listened to a total of four. Mm-hmm. Yep. But is this one guy doing it. Yeah. So why is it like usually if it's a trend, there's like a whole bunch of creators doing this content.
Well, I just haven't looked at other uh creators. Let me see if there's more. Okay. Yeah, there's more. If you click on the drum talk, yeah, all right. There's more. Okay. But this particular guy. Yeah. Yeah, he just plays like a couple of he actually plays the whole song, but you're supposed to like be able to get it that quick.
Yeah. You know what I would uh like to see happen is is for you and I to uh take a drum lesson from the the one guy who's super encouraging. And you know the guy I'm talking about.
I absolutely do because he works with people of all different ages for one, but he is one of the like coolest drum teachers ever in the way that he's like, You're getting it, you're getting it. And he's just he's right there with you. He's like, Yes! Yes, he gets very, very hyped up uh when you figure out different rhythms and stuff. Uh that guy would be the cool guy to learn from. I want to learn from that guy too. Yeah. I don't know his name. I don't either.
But he's cool. Awesome. Yeah. And he plays along in the back like he's drumming. He's air drumming in the back along with the people that he's teaching. And then it's a great hype man. Get it, get it. Yeah. Oh. Oh man. I love watching that guy.
Yeah. I kind of want to play the drums. Let's take drum lessons.
That's what I'm saying. We have a drum kit. Here's what happens because I tried to learn how to play the piano. Yeah. I cannot get my fingers to work in tandem doing different things. Independently.
Yeah, that's it. Your left and right brain. I can do left, great, great, great. I can do right, fine, great. Together. Yeah. No. Do you know what that takes? No. Practice. It takes practice.
We're right. I don't even know where you want to be able to do. I was just gonna
say we were having dinner with the kids, and I don't even remember the joke. They said something, and you said something uh in response, a joke about the magic flute.
Well, somebody brought up a magic flute, and I don't know who. And then I it immediately triggered uh a core memory deep down in my in my brain, and I went, oh, you guys know HR Puffin stuff. And they went, well, no. Yeah, and you didn't grow up when you did. And I went, I didn't even grow up with H.R. Puffin stuff. No, I didn't either. HR Puffin stuff was well before me, but I'm educated about it.
Emory said, wrong audience, bro.
Yeah, that is true.
The first episode you texted your mom. Did I? You did. I think you did.
I don't think I did. No, my mom watched HR Puffin stuff. The first episode uh aired in 1969. The final episode was like a little over uh I guess it was actually a few months later in 1970.
It watched September 6th, 1969, and it ended January 3rd, 1970. So they made a few episodes of HR Puffin stuff. But are you familiar at all with what HR Puffin stuff is?
I've heard of it. That's about it.
So H.R. Puffin stuff was the mayor of this uh living island. Uh, he was the mayor of this island where all these kind of creatures live. And then uh all of these people are trying to help Jimmy, who's the the little boy, uh trying to help him escape the evil clutches of Wichie Pooh, and Wichie Pooh is this uh like crazy, like mossy witch character, and uh she wants to steal Jimmy's talking flute, his magical flute for her collection of magical objects. She's like, I gotta have that flute. So when someone brought up this magical flute, I went, oh yeah, yeah, I know about that. H.R. Puffin stuff. And uh then that's when Emory went, wrong audience, bro. Yeah.
That joke didn't land. Yeah, well sorry. You blew that joke.
How many episodes did they make? 10. 10 episodes.
I'm shocked that it didn't last. Just blown away. Yeah. It's it's fascinating to me because everybody's heard about this show. It's fascinat fascinating to me.
No, they made more than that. They made 17 episodes.
I'm shocked that it's more common than it should be for just 17 episodes. Do you know what I'm talking about?
But but it was so strange. I mean, the the costuming and the puppetry and the like it was just a fantastic thing to watch. I mean, just wild.
Yeah. It's like a dream. It looks a little scary. Yeah. Yeah. Wichie poo. Yeah.
Gotta watch out for witchy poo. Anyway, uh, I don't know much uh else about it other than that.
They went over, they had elaborate costumes, they had complex puppetry. Sure. And they went over their budget by millions. Yeah. And NBC offered them an a minimal budget increase for season two, and they were like, no, thank you. We're gonna need more money than that. And MPC was like, okay, see you later. Okay.
Here's something interesting. You know McDonald Land? Yes. Uh, which is where Hamburglar and all of those kinds of characters uh exist. Mm-hmm. McDonald's emulated aspects of H.R. Puffin stuff for the advertising campaign McDonald Land, and the company was successfully sued by the Croft brothers who created H.R. Puffin stuff in 1977 for copyright infringement. So a lot of the characters from McDonald Land came from H.R. Puffin stuff. That's fascinating. Yeah. How about that? Donald Land. Mm-hmm. Isn't that interesting?
That is interesting.
Yeah, Hamburglar, Grimace, The Fry Kids, Birdie. All of them. Borrowed from H.R. Puffin stuff. Can you even? I mean. Can you even believe that? What is even real? In 2004, HR Puffin' stuff was ranked number 22 on the TV guides top cult shows. No way. We gotta watch the 17 episodes. We have to. Hard pass. No way.
Witchy Pooh. No. We gotta watch. No. Hard pass. The magical flute. Hmm.
Hard pass. Sounds really interesting. No, it doesn't. Oh, there are so many things in life that I just don't want to be a part of. And this is one of them in Shaver Lake, California. There's uh a trailhead or a campsite or some kind of um Yeah, it's a camp.
It's Camp Edison in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Okay. Just before 2 30 p.m. Saturday, first responders were called to this camp to find a man who had fallen into the waterless non-flushing vault toilet while trying to grab his sunglasses that had fallen off of his head into the toilet. He fell in. No, you don't. You don't he fell in.
You don't retrieve things from there. If it falls in, it's gone forever. Yeah. Forever.
Uh man trying to retrieve his sunglasses from a campsite vault toilet had to be rescued after he fell in. He was in there for about 10 to 15 minutes before people were able to get him out.
How did people know he was in there? Well. a good question.
I don't know the answer that Maybe he was hollering, help. I'm stuck in here. Help. How do you fall in? How do you fall in? Well, he tried to reach his sunglasses.
No, it's gone. Those are gone. Get new sunglasses. What are you doing? It's gone. They're gone. Uh no.
Fire law enforcement and fire personnel responded and were able to safely get him out. Decontaminate him. No. And he'll be okay.
No. Here's what happens. You never stop smelling that smell. You never do. I don't care how much decontamination you go through. You will forever be smelling that smell. That is lodged in your olfactory forever. Uh uh.
No word on whether he got the sunglasses back. I didn't catch that. But uh they did uh he was able to walk away from the incident after being hosed down by the fire department.
So that's the decontamination.
That was the decontamination was gonna hose down. He's gonna hose this guy off.
You have to burn all of your clothes. You have to wash yourself in and lie. Uh I don't even know what you would do.
Like, do you have to take a tomato soup bath like if you get hit with a skunk? Yeah, maybe. I don't know what you'd have to do everything we have to do.
You would smell that forever. Forever.
Bro. You're so stressed. I am. I'm so glad I found this story. This happened uh over the weekend uh at this camp in California. I've been hanging on to this story for a minute. I wanted to tell you about it yesterday. but...
Nice. Dropped her phone Yeah. In one of those. A phone is one thing. Because a phone is very expensive.
Well, this I don't know what kind of sunglasses guy had.
I understand.
They could have been his fancy metaglasses. Who knows? I don't know. Replaceable.
Your phone is a di is a different story. Uh-uh. Uh-uh. No. No. I lose my sunglasses in there. I don't care if they're meta sunglasses. I go. Ah. Yeah. I'm not, I'm not going to retrieve them. Nope. Bad day. Bad day, dude.
He's on the right side of the vault toilet now. The outside. Don't go in there. No. You're a bit stressed out by that. by... I'm horrified.
That's the that's a nightmare.
I know it is. It's an absolute nightmare.
I'm gonna dream about that. You are as a nightmare, yeah. Yeah.
One of the uh shows that I like to watch uh when I was younger was Wishbone, if you remember.
I d I don't remember you watching that. No, I didn't know you then. No, that's right.
Uh I could watch Wishbone now and still be just as happy. Another show that I like uh in a similar educational standpoint is uh Captain Planet. That's a good one. I didn't watch that one either. You didn't never watch Captain Planet? No. Did you ever watch uh Magic School Bus? No. You've never watched Magic School Bus.
I mean, I've seen uh clips of it, but I never as a kid I didn't sit down and watch it. No. Really? Really, really.
Have you watched it with our kids at all?
Uh here and there. I don't think I've watched a whole episode.
So this news may not be exciting to me.
I saw this news yesterday and I was kind of excited because I think the concept of the magic school bus is awesome.
Well, the magic school bus, which is a scholastic entertainment show. It's a very educational show, is being turned into a live action uh movie. Full feature movie. Elizabeth Banks will be producing and playing Miss Frizzle. Ms. Frizzle. The bus driver slash teacher. I think that's great. I think you like that.
Perfect casting choice. Yeah, I love Elizabeth Banks. Okay. I think that's perfect.
I'm just I'm playing it out here. I'm just trying to feel feel like how your emotions are going about it. I just told you. Okay. You like her as Miss Frizzle. Yes. But you're not super familiar with the show.
I I'm familiar with the show. Okay. They go on a bus, the kids, they go on a the magical school bus. Yeah. They go all kinds of places. They go to space. They go inside a human body.
Yeah, now let's talk about that. Because that was kind of one of the more epic episodes. Where they had to go inside of one of the students' bodies.
Um have you ever seen Inner Space No with Dennis Quaid? No. I have not. That movie is amazing. And before the magic school bus went inside a body. All right. Dennis Quaid.
I just wonder if they're gonna work this into this one. If they're gonna be like, we've gotta go inside and learn about the human body. Um so that could be fun. They can shrink down real small and learn about the human body.
Okay, time out. You haven't seen Inner Space, we're putting that on our list right now. As Martin Short in it. Okay. And Meg Ryan. Okay. And uh there's like he has to miniaturize himself. Dennis Quay does, and he finds himself floating around the body of a hypochondriac. I think he I think Martin Short is the body that Dennis Quaid is inside of. All right. Oh man, I love that.
So the Magic School Bus was PBS's first fully animated series. Lily Tomlin was the voice of Miss Frizzle. I love Lily Tom. Yep. And the show has ranked among the highest rated PBS programs for school age children. Uh and then they did the Magic School Bus Rides Again, which was a Netflix series, and uh Lily Tomlin reprised Miss Frizzle in that. Kate McKinnon played her younger sister, Ms.
Fiona Felicity Frizzle, and that series aired between 2017 and 2021. I didn't know about that. I didn't know about that either.
But uh because I've only seen the uh the old stuff. But there was also a video game uh called the Magic School Bus Lost in the Solar System, uh, which is interesting. Um but anyway, this'll be uh this will be kind of cool. Uh and uh it's just been announced, which means there's still casting, there's a lot of stuff that has to still happen in order to get this thing made.
But at some point there will be a magic school bus live action movie with Elizabeth Banks' Miss Frizzle. Okay, but have you seen Inner Space? Still no. I in the in the time you asked me to now, I did not watch the movie.
I just want to I just want to keep asking. We gotta we gotta watch it. All right. It's so good. Who in our family would accidentally burn the house down? Oh.
Uh who almost in our family has uh nearly burned the house down. Listen, uh just a note for kids, you do need to put water in the uh shells and cheese container when you put that in the microwave. Yeah. Because you're gonna put that thing in there for like three and a half minutes. Uh-huh. And if it doesn't have water in it, it melts and can potentially start a fire.
And the yeah, the pasta starts burning. Yeah. Because it's too dry. Yeah.
It's you gotta have water in your macaroni and cheese when you're gonna microwave that stuff. Yeah. So who in our house uh almost burned it down? The kids. Yeah, our son. Yeah, the I mean, I don't know that we've had a similar incident with our daughter, but maybe she has and hasn't confessed. I don't know.
Okay. So take take back out of the equation. Okay. Who among the three of us, you, me or Emery would burn the house down?
I mean, uh not intentionally. It'd be it'd be like forgetting to turn off the stove burner or something. You're you're saying it like it happened.
The last couple of times that you've cooked and used the oven.
You have the oven to turn the oven off. It's been the last maybe three times. I wonder. I like to for sure.
At least two, but I think possibly three.
But that's because I'm cooking, I'm getting things ready, and then I take everything out and I'm serving it, and I like to dish things up and plate and make things pretty, and then I sit down to eat, and then you go, are you done with the oven? And I go, Oh yeah. I am. Go turn that off.
So I think Beck, and then you. But again, the oven being on, it is not going to it's not on broil, it's just on like 350. It's just gonna sit there and stay hot.
And then our power bill's gonna go through the roof.
But I don't think I'm gonna burn the house down by leaving the oven on. I think there's more potential for a hot glue gun or an iron to be left on then but that's I'm just saying so paranoid. You're getting defensive.
No, I'm not. I'm just getting defensive. You think a hot glue gun's gonna burn the house down? Yes.
How? That your hot glue gun's insane.
It does get really hot, but how's it gonna it's not gonna set anything on fire. If it falls over. What's it gonna set on fire?
The table, the carpet.
No, it's just gonna melt wax. No.
That little end is hot. And if that gets on the carpet, it will start the carpet on fire.
Hmm. I have on occasion left the glue gun on. I get so paranoid about my iron. Right. That I I typically always make sure that's unplugged and off.
Well, it's off but plugged in. It has a bright red light on it. And I walk into your craft room and I go, is the iron on? And you're like, is it green or red? And I said, red, and you went, No. Okay. Super. I Guess it's all good. Yeah.
That one I'm super paranoid about. So I make sense. I I'd really try to make sure that one's off.
But that's probably it. I don't think uh my fly tying bench is gonna burn anything down.
They say you're supposed to take pictures of everything in your house.
Yeah, I know. You talked about all these things. You gotta go room by room and take a video and look at all the things and open the cupboards and show all the stuff. Yeah, you have to. Sounds like a nightmare. No, but then you can't.
I know, you gotta have inventory. I get it. You've gotta have inventory. Take an inventory of the house. You like doing inventory so much in professional world, inventory the house.
Different. It's different in professional form. And inventory, I like when inventory would come in. Yeah, you like stocking. Yeah.
But taking inventory is different.
I like yeah, taking inventory is the worst. But when new product would come in and you'd have to put it in the computer, I like that. That's what I missed about retail. Stocking. Not stocking.
Yeah. Because I didn't put it away. You I put it in the computer.
I liked that part. Whatever that's called. When am I gonna label this in the computer system? And how much is this gonna be? And how many are there? I like doing that. I see. That was fun. Okay. Something to note.
You like that part of retail. I do. How do you feel about the customer service? Fine. Not selling it.
No, it depends on the customer, doesn't it?
Every time. It always does.
You know how like there's some weird instructions on like a curling iron, for instance, where it says, like there's an eye, and then the curling, like it's a drawing, and there's an eye and a curling iron, and it says, No. Like, don't put this on your eye.
What are you gonna curl your eyes?
They only put those instructions on there because somebody has done that, right?
Was someone trying to curl their eyelashes with their curling iron?
I was at a slumber party once, and we were maybe 16, 17 years old. Okay. And we were doing our hair, and there was a thing on the curling iron that there was a tongue, and it said, don't stick this on your tongue. And she happened to see that, and she goes, I wonder what that would feel like. No.
And she put it on our tongue. No. It said don't. Yeah. So there was a Yeah. There was there was a man in Scotland who messed up his eyes because he used massage gun on them. No. He said he's okay, but he was really close to losing his vision.
Why did he use his massage gun on his eyes?
He said that he had some flashing lights in his right eye and increasing floaters. And he was like, Maybe they just are tired and I should use a massage gun on them. No. Yeah. And then he finally went to the doctor, and the doctor was like, Yeah, you've got like rips in your retina and widespread bruising. Yeah.
Well, then use my percussion gun on my eyeball. So now they're gonna have to have that on the label. Uh-huh. Don't use this on your eyes. Uh-huh. That's insane. Yeah. I mean, I don't like the way it makes my whole neck shake. My brain gets all scrambled when I use it on my neck too high. I'm like, ah, I don't like that. So let me put it on my eye. Don't put it on your eye. That's right.
And also don't put your curling iron on your eyes or your tongue. Yeah. Smart advice. You would think.
Would you rather this or that?
Would you rather have a theme song that plays whenever you enter a room or a laugh track that plays after everything you say? Absolute theme song.
I hate a laugh track. I don't like being told when something's supposed to be funny. Bazinga. Stop it. I do not like a laugh track or a show that heavily features one.
Most of the shows in the 80s and 90s had them. So you must have needed a lot of shows. No, no, no.
They did not have laugh track. They were filmed in front of a live studio audience, which is different. Okay. Filmed in front of a live studio audience is uh intriguing. Uh like uh home improvement was filmed in front of a live studio audience, and they had people in there watching them make the show. That is not the same as a laugh track, which is where they pause at weird times to allow for laughter, and if you delete the laughter and watch the show, it's bizarre. It's weird. So no, I'm not a fan of a laugh track. I don't care if a show was filmed in front of a live audience. That's fine. Okay.
So you want a theme song that plays whenever you come together. Absolutely. Okay, what's your theme song?
I just want it to, I don't want it to necessarily be like a like a whole song. I want it to be like a thematic uh music bed. Because sometimes I gotta have a conversation. I'm not gonna wait for a song to finish so I can talk on like a I don't know what kind of song I want to do. It's kind of like a music bed. Some kind of uh yeah, the greatest American hero. Yeah, yeah. Maybe it changes. That has words. I don't want words.
Believe it or not. I'm walking on it. I don't want that. I hope it's that. No.
I don't want to do that. Or it's the theme to uh the A team.
Yeah, that's a music. I would I could deal with that. Do the song.
Broom, broom, broom, broom. That sounds up to the big thing.
That's Indiana Jones. It's not Superman. You did Indiana Jones. You do the AT. No, I asked you to. I asked you. two to... Broom, broom, broom, broom. That's Indiana Jones, which is what you did. I have to listen to it. Yeah.
Because it's kind of Indiana Jones-esque. I mean, sorta.
It has a lot of similar instrumentation, I guess. But I don't know that the actual song is the same.
Yours is gonna be believe it or not.
I don't want that. I don't want it.
the word. I'm working on it. All right. Another thing.
No, you gotta stop. We don't I don't want to have to pay for that. Stop singing the songs. I can't put them in the podcast. I'm gonna get copyright strikes. Sorry. That's why I say don't do that. Okay, sorry. They're gonna go, nope, we can't publish this episode.
You gotta pay money. Theme song. Theme song.
What are you picking? Theme song. What's your theme song? What's my theme song? Something cool. Yeah, it's probably like cum sail away from sticks. That is cool. Yeah, the coolest.
Sailing.
Like Christopher Crock. That too. Would you rather this or that? One thing about you is
that you will always check out of a hotel. Most people, I don't know if I want to say most people, but most people will just like leave their keys in the room and and leave.
But you, every time we stay in a hotel, you make it a point to take the keys to the front desk and say, hey, we're checking out. Am I not supposed to? I just don't think it's necessary, but you do, and it's it's just nice. I mean, I guess it's just a nice. way.
They usually just go, do you need a copy of your receipt? And I go, no. Right. Unless I'm like on a business trip, then I would need to bring a receipt back. But if I'm just going by myself, no big deal. And then they go, okay, have a great day. Right. We'll email you a copy of it or whatever. Right. And I go, okay, later, dude. That's all.
I just I guess I didn't know that I was not supposed to do that.
No, I don't think that it matters. I'm just saying that I don't think it's necessary. But you do it, and it's nice.
It's just a nice They did send me a uh an email and they said if you want, you can do a mobile checkout. But they wanted me to install their app in order to do it, and I said no.
But you don't even need to check out. Like we've been with people before, and they just leave the key in the room and they peace out. Right. So I don't necessarily even think the checkout is required.
So here's what it says. It says there's several different checkout methods. A mobile app, which I just explained, in person, which is where you go to the front desk, hand them the keys and go thanks. And they go, here's your thing.
You just want us to email you or whatever. Or they uh the other thing is if you're in a rush, some will have an express box to leave the keys, or you can leave them on your nightstand. But it says be sure to call the front desk to notify them that you've left. Oh, see. Interesting.
People we've like traveled with before, just leave them in the room. They don't call and check out.
But we're also, they do mention housekeeping courtesy on here, which I think is nice. Yeah, I think that's important. That's where you group up the towels and put them on the bathroom floor all in a pile. Yeah, I do that. Uh, if you have, you know, trash that you have on the counters or something, you make sure it's in the bin. I do that.
So that you know, they're the the housekeeping crew can come in and clean the room quickly. I think that's important. Yeah. Anyway, that's all. I just I guess, I feel like I need to tell them I'm done here. Thank you.
You know, I think it's just courteous. Yeah. It's I'm not critiquing you. I'm just saying that's a nice thing that you do.
Well, I feel like when you said one thing about you is that it was like not a normal thing.
I I don't know if it's normal or not, actually, because I've only ever really traveled with you. Okay. I just know that there's other people who just leave their keys in their room and leave. Oh, well, maybe they're being rude. It's just those two things that I know. I see I see.
Is that I don't just do that. I like to go, but I'm also like, I will go through a check stand and talk to a person because I don't mind a human interaction. So maybe there's a little bit of that where I go, like, it feels weird to just leave. Yeah, it's possible. I'm a guest here.
I should say, hey, thanks, I'm out. Maybe it's that. Maybe it is that. I don't know. Maybe I'm just old. Maybe I'm maybe I'm this old school guy who's like, I check out a hotels.
It's courteous. You're just being courteous. All right. It's nice. That's gonna wrap up the show. Thanks for hanging out with us.
Uh it's been it's great having you as our guest. Thanks for checking out. Uh we'll be back tomorrow uh with more fun for you. Uh hopefully you enjoy the enjoy the show. And uh if you do,
if you don't enjoy it, then why are you still here?
If you suffer through it every morning. Sorry. You're welcome for helping you have a really terrible day. But hey, if you enjoy it, you're welcome. Yeah, I guess enjoy it.
I don't know what I'm trying to say. Cool beatings. Have a great day. We'll see you back here tomorrow. Bye.
