They get all amped up, and they support their country and the US. Alright. Go, RSI. And people, like, really get into it Yes. And catch Olympic fever.
Yes. Well, doctors are seeing a rise in injuries from people trying to mimic the moves the Olympic athletes are doing at home. Hey, everyday Americans, they've been training for this for Yes. Years. Yeah.
Sometimes their entire lives. So what you've got going on is a bunch of people attempting back flips, high jumps, dives, hopping on skate skateboards for the first time in years, and then ending up in emergency rooms all around the country. Yeah. Pretty good. Right?
We frequently see people come to physical therapy after watching the Olympics and either revisiting a sport that they have previously participated in or being inspired to take up something new and are unfortunately affected by an injury during this activity. A backflip is a wonderful thing to watch for those who have practiced for many years, but it can be dangerous if it's new to you. Landing on your head is never a good thing. No. That's what the doctor said.
Oh, no. So Oh, everyday Americans. We're not Olympians No. Guys. So somewhere in there, somebody saw something and was like, you know what?
It's just it looks easy. I think I could do it. I hurt my back getting out of bed this morning. I know. I'm not gonna That's how it goes.
Attempt to kind of back flip. There's been a a like, you don't understand how skilled and practiced and talented these people are, and there's been a campaign for many years. People have said, we need an average Joe. Yeah. I know.
That I think that'd be awesome. That when you see how fast someone is running Yeah. You then you see average Joe just doing his best. Yeah. And you can go, yeah.
They are very fast. Yeah. They're real quick. Yeah. Normal diving next to all of the, like, miniature tiny splashes and an average Joe going, you know, careening off and flailing in the air as your belly flops.
Dive. It just belly flops. Right. How fast are the swimmers? Average Joe will let you know.
I wanna see that. That's what we need an average Joe. We do. And Jill, an average Joe and an average Joe. Absolutely.
I'm I'm not being one way or the other. I was just giving it a general term. But yes. Exactly. And I could be that.
I'm not gonna be that because I'm not I'm below average. No. But then just not every event. You don't have to compete in every event. You just have to compete in, like, one of them or, you know, a series.
Like Which one? I don't know. I don't think I want to. No? Because that would make me feel so bad about myself already.
Plus, also, I'm not an average. I am below average. Running Okay. Don't pick running. Don't pick running.
Diving. Swim. I do swim. But And you like to swim fast as fast as you can. No.
But that's still it's still not gonna be average, is it? I don't know. No. It's gonna be a below I'm a below average Olympian, and I'm okay with that. I'm not sad about it.
I've been training my whole life. It's fine. You like to swim. Yes. Put on your swimsuit on the world stage and be the average Jill that Below average.
Swimming need. Stop saying average. It's gotta be I'm the below average. No. I am not an average.
Yeah. It's okay. I'm okay with it. You're an average. I'm also 43 years old.
Yes. Even more average. That's the other part. These are, like, sometimes, you know, 13 years old. These the like, the skaters, the the girls that are in the skateboarding street competition, 13, 14 years old?
That's why I'm below average because I'm 43. Yeah. I like to sit on the couch. One. I like to watch TV.
I like to eat ice cream at night. I am out of shape. I've Imagine you just do one drop in on the street course, and they go, that's what I thought would happen. Okay. Now let's watch the athletes.
See? That's what the average Joe, Jill, Jane, whatever her name is. Below. Average. It's average.
It's an everyday person that they pick, and they just go, you're gonna do the slow. Like everyday. Do every day instead of average. Average everyday people. Yeah.
That's what it is. I'm not saying you're the middle of performance and that there are people way worse than you and people way better than you. I'm saying you're the average person for that sport that they go, you're you're a regular human being. Come on. Come on.
You're doing the high dive. Here's everyday Chantel. Yeah. Doing the high dive. This is our this is our all American average badminton team.
I'm gonna get so injured. Right? So injured. What does what does average average Joe beach volleyball look like? Oh, man.
I've seen it. I've seen it. Very cool story here for good news to get you going today. An amazing rescue dog named Ellie was saved after being discovered swimming Oh. A mile and a half Oh, no.
Off the coast of Fort Myers Beach in Florida. I saw this video, probably over the weekend. Ellie, was was lost at sea. Oh, no. A dinner cruise was in the area, and the captain of the cruise named Terry Johns spotted Ellie.
He said, I looked out. I saw something in the water, and then I heard people shouting, it's a dog, dog, dog. And so, Terry and his crew and the passengers, they were able to rescue the stranded dog. Once everyone was back to shore, the crew brought Ellie into the veterinarian where she was given a clean bill of health. She was enjoying a boat ride with her family and jumped off the boat.
Oh, Ellie. And Ellie's owners, Ben and Kathleen, they were terrified and heartbroken. They searched. They zigzagged the boat to find the dog. They couldn't.
And they were like, we've lost our dog forever. Like, they could not find Ellie. This new this video and this news story started circulating in the area, and Ben and Kathleen were, like, no way. Like, Ellie's been found. Like, this is huge.
And so, they learned about the the, heroic rescue, and they were able to enjoy a special reunion with Ellie. Everybody's back together now. Wild. Don't take that dog on that boat again. No.
She's a flight risk. Yeah. That is correct. That is correct. Holy smokes.
Yep. A mile and a half, you say? Mile and a half offshore. Yeah. I mean, they they were on a boat.
They're out in the middle of nowhere. Yeah. Kinda crazy. A dog. I know.
I bet her legs are so tired. I can eat a 100%. Oh. Yeah. But she's she's in good health, and, so that's really good.
That's great news. I know. It's good news to get you going on class 97. Dodd. Josh, do you need a friend?
Probably. Everybody needs a friend. Right? Well, have I got a solution for you What's up? For just $99.
Oh, oh, thank you for the infomercial. What? You can buy an AI companion. I don't need an AI companion. Some people are comparing it to a Tamagotchi.
You know, those virtual pens from the nineties. Yeah. Except this one, you can understand what it's saying. Kinda. Well yes.
Exactly. So this is a virtual companion that you wear around your neck like a necklace. It's a pendant. K. It has a built in microphone promo videos for it.
Yeah. This website promo videos for it. Yeah. This website, this guy paid, a whole bunch of money. I'm talking tons and tons of money to buy like, 1,000,000 of dollars to buy friend.com.
Okay. And I I saw this I can't remember where I saw this. But you yeah. You can pre order this thing. This is straight out of, like, scary tech stuff.
So the ad shows a woman eating and watching a show on her phone. Yeah. And when a message pops up on her pendant and says that the show is completely underrated and then asks her if the falafel she's eating is any good. Yeah. No, dude.
I'm not into it. That's kinda creepy. Right? Yeah. I don't I don't like it.
But how does it know what you're eating? Well and and it also hooks to your phone. So you you have the thing, and you you hit the button, and it listens. So you can talk to it. Okay.
So instead of just wandering around talking to yourself, you back, it just texts you. Correct. Yeah. So you you push the button, and then you talk. You speak your mind.
You gossip. You tell it whatever you want, all your secrets. I'm not into it. Woah. And then, yeah, and then, your friend will think for a minute, and then you'll get a text, and you can read what your friend has to say about it.
It's so creepy. I don't care for it. Like we said, you can preorder this for $99@frienddot com, but they won't ship until early next year. Here's the other part. It only works with iPhones.
So Of course, it does. Have fun, Apple users. Android is like, we don't want that. This is a security risk. I don't like the thing.
I it's it creeps me out. Yeah. It's kinda weird. Yeah. I'm not into it.
It says they'll expand to Android if there's enough demand, but Android users don't want this. Zero demand. I don't want it. 0. I don't wanna wear a necklace.
That one, Apple users. It's this is a bad, bad idea. Why? What do you think it's gonna take over? I think this is creepy, weird, not cool technology.
Like, this is not I don't know. The robot apocalypse. Look. This this is this feels like the I've fallen and I can't get up thing. Uh-huh.
It's like the new version of that. Like, I could see how having some sort of companion for people that are incredibly destitute and lonely and all of those things could be beneficial. An AI being able to accomplish some of that because maybe somebody doesn't have family or maybe somebody is in a situation where they're they're very lonely. But day to day use, 0 demand. There's no no.
Absolutely not. It does feel like it would just take over your world, I feel. I don't need that. Oh, and then they'll start to Yeah. Just take over.
Yeah. They're gonna start like, this has the capability of becoming, like, mind, thought, control. Not control, but manipulation for sure. I'm not into it. Oh, it says introducing friend, not imaginary.
Yeah. I'm not. Ew. I'm not into it. No.
Thank you. But are you into it? No. I'm not into it. Thanks for asking.
Our daughter is a gamer, meaning she likes to play video games. Yeah. She is pretty good at them too. She plays Fortnite Yeah. And she's pretty good at it.
For sure. What I found out yesterday or over the weekend was that she often gets teased because it's not necessarily big market for girls. Yes. It, it actually is. What you have is a toxic online environment Okay.
That men and boys dominate the toxicity of. And so you get whenever there's a girl in a lobby or in the game with you, it's just people are rude. Yes. And she said She's yeah. She's like, I just don't say anything.
Said before that people have been on these game platforms with her, and then they've just talked smack about girls. And so then sometimes she's like, I just mute my mic. And then when I win, I open my microphone, and I'm like, yeah. You just got beat by a girl. Yeah.
That or she'll be like, hey. You're welcome. Our team made it or won or whatever because of me. I, a girl the team. Carried the team.
Way to go. Like, that's mad respect. I think that's great. Yeah. She's, she's strong, and I and I like that.
Like, she she stands her own, and she's in a world where it's, you know, not friendly to her. And she's like, I like the game, so I'm gonna turn all of the haters off. And you don't have to interact with people. Like, you can mute the the main chat. Like, you don't have to talk to anybody if you don't want to.
Uh-huh. And you don't have to listen to anybody if you don't want to. You can just play the game without all that. You can do that in real life. That's true.
You can just turn the haters off. Just turn the haters off. And then you stand up and go, hey, haters. You got schooled. Good for you.
I love that. Yeah. No. She did. She does great.
But I I do think it's funny the way she handles it because she's just like, yeah. I get it. They're just dumb. So I'm just gonna do my thing. I'll just win, and then I'll turn my mic on and say, I'm a girl.
Yep. You got the stuff. Later. Peace out. She's very good.
I love it. I worked fast food in the nineties. Did you? Yeah. I hadn't heard.
Yes. You have. You know my history. There are some things when you work fast food. Did you ever do the fast food thing?
I know you did the pizza thing, and I did the pizza thing as well, but you didn't do much more food service than that? Nope. I was never cut out for that. That takes a stronger person than I. Okay.
Well, so I I did it for a a while. I worked in fast food. And, there there are people that would come through, and they would order their food a very specific way. And there were regulars that you'd come in and you go, oh, there's the pickle guy or the onion person because they like when they say extra onions, they're like, no. You don't understand.
Like, handful of onions on my burger. And you go, okay. And you could remember those people when they came through? Often enough. Yeah.
Okay. Be, like, a couple times a week, they'd come in and get their tall onion burger or whatever. And so, you know, you you kind of learn some of these custom things that people want. Uh-huh. But one of the things that people would order if they kinda knew some of the lingo, and I don't even know if this still applies, but there was a thing you could say, I want that f o g or f o f, which was fresh off the grill or fresh out of the fryer.
And so it was like, I don't want the one that's been sitting in the little tray waiting for me to come order. I want a a brand new one. So drop me a brand new chicken sandwich fresh out of the fryer. Drop me an f o f. Yeah.
I need I need a chicken sandwich f o f. That was like that's it. You know, that's inside stuff. Okay. Right?
So, apparently, over at the, Arches, you can order a steamed bun. I know this. You know when you get a you get your burger and you go, why is this bun dry? Yeah. Like, it's this is not a fresh bun.
Okay. Apparently, it can steam the bun. But I don't know if I want a steamed bun. So the fish fillet comes with a steamed bun already. Okay.
So they already have the technology to steam the buns. Ordering fillet of fish. Everyone, stop. Stop. I'm talking to you, my mom.
She loves the fillet. She does. Stop it. It's so gross. So the the hamburger and cheeseburger bun, you can get steamed.
That's the point. There's a corporate chef, for the, for the the McDonald's place, and he said, you guys he's a former corporate chef. And he, got online. He shared a video, and he said, if you want your burger to be the best ever, get the steamed bun. And I didn't know you could say, hey.
Can I get that on a steamed bun? But, apparently, you can. I'm sure you can. I'm also sure that the people who work there are this guy with the steamed buns, and they all hate you. I know.
I've been on the other side of the counter, knowing, like, here's the onion guy. Yeah. Now you're gonna be known as the steamed bun guy. Yeah. This guy.
But if you if you won it, apparently, it's very good. And if you ask for it, they'll steam your bun. Yeah. I'm sure they will. They'll also hate you for doing that, and they'll complain about you the second you turn your back.
I bet not. Bet. Like, it it's really not that big a deal. Like, the customer ends up waiting longer for a custom order like that, and that's on them. Like, it doesn't matter.
Like, when I'm working back line and I'm making the food, it it doesn't matter. It's an order. It just comes through. If I have to drop a fresh chicken sandwich, I don't care. So they can have an FOF.
Or they want their fries fresh out of the fryer, no salt. That one's harder. That one's harder? Yeah. Where are you gonna put?
You have 1 fry bin. Oh. So when people would go, I want a fresh out of the fryer, no salt. That was a challenge, but there are people that do that. Yeah.
And then everybody hates you. It's it's not. Because we make your one fry order, and then we salt the rest of the batch because we gotta drop fries anyway. It's not it's not a big deal. If you had a 100 people doing it, it'd be a big deal, and you'd go, come on.
I'm tired of steaming buns. Now everyone knows about the steamed buns. I know. So now there's gonna be so many people asking for steamed buns. I wanna see if it makes that big a difference because he's man.
He said it will make a difference. Okay. You order that when I'm not with you because I don't want those people to be angry at me for you ordering the steamed bun. And I also don't wanna be with you when you say, can I get my bun steamed? Yeah.
I can I can you steam the bun? I'd like to have a steamed bun. No. I don't wanna participate in any of that activity. So that's a you're taking yourself to lunch kind of situation.
Well, maybe I'll do it. Or go with the boys here in the office. Yeah. Hey, guys. Let's go get steamed buns.
So there I was at work yesterday, minding my own business, getting my job done, and I get a TikTok notification Yeah. From you. Yeah. And I said, oh, you always know what I like. Yes.
Send me funny videos and different things that I like to see. And so I go, I'll take a break from my job for a minute and watch this Tik video. Yes. And I open the app and check on the video, and it is an unsolicited video of an instructional it is a step by step instructional video of how to back into a parking space. Yes.
And I said, I didn't I didn't ask for this. No. I know. But it's information you can use. Did you get the second video?
Yeah. I got the second video. Which was? And I say to my office full of women, my husband just sent me tutorials on how to back into a parking space and also how to parallel park. Yes.
They're all on my side. Oh, about what? Well, they said, did he did you send anything, or did he say anything with it? I said, no. He just sent these.
Just sent them unasked for. Right. I don't know if I should be offended. Or I sent them to our son as well. Because the both of you could use some help in the parking department.
When it comes to backing in, neither of you will go, yeah. I I have a reverse. I'll back into a parking spot. There's no need to. Yes.
There is. I'll back up when I exit the parking space and lean. No. Park backwards. I don't want to.
Parallel park on a street. No. I'll never do that. Why? Because it looks stupid.
No. It does not. You're just saying that because you don't know how to do it very well. So I'm trying to help you. No.
I don't want to. I didn't even finish either video. Are you serious? It gave you all the tips and tricks, the things you can line up, what to look at, and you and your response to the video was pretty easy with a backup camera because you don't have one. I don't.
But it it doesn't matter. Like, that was the cool part about both of those videos that I sent unsolicited to you was that they showed you how to do it with just your mirrors, and that was really cool. I like that they were showing you how to do it in a way that it doesn't matter what vehicle you're in. You can make that happen. And I felt like that's information the both of you can use.
What what if you don't have any mirrors? Who doesn't have mirrors? Well, I used to drive a car that didn't have mirrors. It did have mirrors. It didn't have a rearview mirror Yeah.
You're right. But it had side mirrors. You're right. It does. It can't be on the road with no mirrors.
So, that's, that's the deal. Okay. But then my problem is where do I go to test this? Because I'm not just gonna go test it with the other cars out of the car. Go to an empty parking lot to practice backing into a spot.
I will happily I don't mind doing that. I can back into a spot. I just prefer not to. Is that right? I parallel parking, I will I will park 5 miles away before I'll par parallel park.
Well, we'll go buy some cones, or, you know, we can do wait till garbage day. That's tomorrow. But just move the neighborhood garbage cans around so they act like cars. I I will And you can park. Openly admit that I am awful at parallel parking.
But that's because you don't ever practice it. No. Where am I ever gonna practice? I'm not gonna practice with other cars. Yes.
I'm never going to do that. And I'm also never gonna practice where you have to parallel park and there's people waiting behind you. Yeah. That is way too much pressure. Everybody's watching Yeah.
Because it's usually in a downtown area where there's people milling about. Right. No. I'm never But that you could do and when you when you do it successfully and you successfully, and you and you just and people are watching, and they start clapping, you did it. Nobody ever claps.
Because no one cares. You're worried about it, and no one is like, I bet she can't do this. I'm gonna sit and watch. You don't think there's any stigma with women driving? None?
0. It's made up. You are making it up. I'll continue to send you, driving tips and parking, tutorials just to help out. I'm I'm just you watch them when you're ready, and you'll have them as an archive to go back to.
You could save them. You could even make your own, like, playlist of just driving and parking tutorials. I just I just feel like he can't teach an old dog new tricks. You can't. You just have to have a willingness to try, a little bit of confidence.
This is a conversation that I had with the kids over the weekend. And then you wandered upstairs and you said, what are you guys talking about? And then you clued me in. Yeah. Then we clued you in.
It was a conversation that Beck and Emery Knight had that was the food that you would give up, food that you easily are like, peace out. I don't need you around. Because because you don't like it, because you you like, it's a meal, you would you would say if I never ate this again, it'd be too soon. Yes. Got it.
Emery picked chicken legs, zucchini noodles. Okay. Hold on. When's the last time she had, like, fried chicken drumstick legs? It's been a hot minute.
It's been a very, very long time. Never. Like, I'm telling you She used to eat that when she was younger. Not at our house. Yes.
Well, we didn't ever have fried chicken. That's what I'm saying. I did. But but whenever we would go to a barbecue or there would be fried chicken, she always had a chicken leg. She liked chicken legs.
Not anymore. She also hates rotisserie chicken. Well, those that's along the same lines. If I pick up a rotisserie chicken, and I'm like, I'm just gonna throw this in some enchiladas for a great meal. Yeah.
She hates the smell of it, and it grosses her out so much that she won't eat the meal Really? With the chicken in it. Well, you found out insider information about our daughter's chicken thing. I already knew that about our chicken thing. But you knew she didn't like rotisserie chicken?
Because it smells delicious? Because she doesn't like the way it smells. Okay. Because I pay attention as a parent. Oh, come on now.
What is this? This is turning this is turning sour. I'm sorry. Okay. Beck would give up spaghetti, any kind of noodles, actually.
Those there were only 2 for her. Is that right? There are 3. Chicken legs and the rotisserie chicken. Chicken, zucchini noodles.
Oh, zucchini noodles. Those are great. She hates I love zoodles. I have a spiralizer to make zoodles. I know.
They're delicious. I know. And you can do it with sweet potatoes and sweet potato noodles. Plus, after you've put the zucchini through the spiralizer, you get that thing, the middle part, that little, like, pencil tube. The tube thing?
Yeah. That's fun. Anyway, go on. Beck would give up spaghetti. Yeah.
He hates any kind of noodles and any kind of red sauce. He does not like pasta. Fettuccine Alfredo, though, which and he likes pad soe yu, which is a Thai noodle. It's a rice noodle, but he likes that. So when he says he doesn't like pasta, I go, no.
You don't like small, thin, round pasta. And he doesn't like any noodles, like the macaroni or any of those. Thinks it's too slimy. But then he gets the big, wide, thick noodles, and he loves dumplings. Like, the guy likes noodles.
He just doesn't like red sauce. I don't know. He's a interesting fellow. So spaghetti you would give up That's all? Just spaghetti and pasta and noodles?
And red sauce. That's what he told me. You would give up sardines, canned meat Yep. And any kind of fish. Not any kind of fish.
Canned fish. Oh, canned fish. Yes. Very specifically. Canned fish.
Tuna fish comes in a pouch. I like that better. Okay. I don't like draining the can. Oh, that is worse.
See what I'm saying? The pouch tuna is better. I don't like I gotta get a can opener and open this metal can of fish. No. I'm I'm not into can of fish.
No. I'm I'm not into canned meats. No. Who is there anybody who is? Yeah.
Yeah. There are. Yeah. We know people. I don't want Vienna sausages.
I don't want potted meat. I don't want My mom used to take those Vienna sausages and cut them in half and then put them on a piece of bread. Whip. I know. I know.
Been there. Listen. When we talk about great depression food and poverty meals, that's what that is. But then for some reason, they're like, no. That's my comfort food now, and you gotta stop it.
There's better food. There is way better food. It's inexpensive as well. You don't have to go crazy. Get away from the Vienna sausage.
Just imagining the smell and the gelatinous good stuff that's in there. Stop with them potted meats. I said I'm done with the canned meats, but also sardines and kipper snacks and oysters, like, any of that stuff where you have to roll the key to peel the thing back. No. Your mom is gonna be so disappointed.
And I got a I got a buddy who I go backpacking with, and he takes that stuff backpacking. He loves it. It's gross. It's awful. Keeps the bears away.
No. Even the bears are like, I don't want any of that. No way. If anything, they're they're digging through his garbage. Both of them.
I was having a hard time coming up with something that I would want to get rid of food wise. Because I And then it struck you. I kinda like all food. I mean, I don't like meat. I'm like, I'll eat it if it's in the dish as long as it's small.
Yeah. I don't like big chunks of meat. Right. It's gross. I would absolutely be a vegetarian if it wasn't for you guys.
I've we've we've talked about that. Yeah. But Emery helped me. She said blue raspberry flavor. Yeah.
You hate blue raspberry. You think it's made up? It well, it is made up. Well, have you ever seen a blue raspberry? No.
I don't eat raspberries. I could get rid of good. I can get rid of all fruits with seeds on, like, strawberries, raspberries, specifically, and then also mushrooms. They can go away forever. Mushrooms?
Yeah. So good. Nope. I don't want your dirt clogged fungus. Get out of here.
I'll eat it. No. Saute it in some butter? Disgusting. Nope.
Can you think of anything? I mean, I'm I'm with you on the canned meat. Is there anything that you can think of for me? What's weird how everybody thought of their own thing, and then you were like, everyone help me. Well, I can't think of anything.
I like all food. I'm not picky. It's not about being picky. It's just about what you like and don't like. I I don't like meat.
I'd get rid of meat. Chicken, especially. I don't like chicken. It's gross. You don't like prepping it?
I don't like prepping it. Yeah. I think it it tastes gross. It looks gross. It smells gross.
Okay. Okay. I don't know. I don't know what to tell you. You you got a, you know, weird thing with meat.
I introduced Emery to one of my favorite movies that I watched for the first time when I was about her age. Yeah. And, it was set at a school, and she was kind of floored by some of the things that were allowed to happen in the mid to late nineties that don't happen today. For example Like, things that happened at school. Yeah.
Yeah. Specifically in this movie. Yes. So they played a game of dodgeball. Oh, yeah.
She said dodgeball is banned at her school and has been forever. At the elementary level. For all levels, I think. Well, we played dodgeball when you go to the trampoline parks. Oh, that's fair.
But it's at the school, it's banned. Why? I don't know. This is where you learn life lessons. You're all in trouble now.
So she she was surprised by that. Yes. And then a school aged kid got into the like, he was kindergarten or 1st grade, got into the front seat of the car, and she was like, were pee were kids allowed to ride in the front seat when they were in 1st grade? I was like, yeah. They didn't even need a booster.
I was I rode on the floor by my mom's feet in the truck because there were only room for 3 people on the bench seat. So I rode on the floor. That's how that worked. And then with the dodgeball thing, when they were playing dodgeball, she said, were headshots allowed? I said, oh, yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. They were. And you were not allowed part of your body. You were not allowed to sit out.
No. Yeah. You you might be last picked, but you're playing. I was last picked. You were not.
I was. 2 things you claim happened in school to you that did not. Yeah. Sir. You were not last picked.
Yes. I was. You weren't in that lineup, and they went, well, I guess we'll have Chantal. That didn't happen, and you didn't have to climb that rope. Dude, I'm gonna call somebody from my school days, and I'm gonna say, prove.
Remember this thing that never happened? It did too. I'm telling you, you never had to climb the rope in gym. Yes. I did.
You didn't go to school in the fifties. Bro, they had a rope in PE class. Between the fifties and the eighties, I would say, yeah. But you you didn't go to school in that 30 year period. I'm so mad at you right now because you don't know what my life was like, and that is all true.
Why would I make that up? I don't know. They had a rope. We had to climb it. A lot of us could not climb it.
Yeah? Yeah. Because it's hard. Okay. Oh, I'm so mad at you.
Get out. Now I can't even we're fighting. I know. Look at you. What are your hands doing?
You're, like, in your hair and in your neck. What are you doing? You're very upset. I'm trying to cool down because I'm hot. Alright.
You were last picked Yes. And you had to climb that rope. Yes. Yes. Okay.
Bro? You did. You sure did. Awesome. I gotta find somebody who went to school with me and who remembers.
No one does. I think you saw it in the movie Dude at a young age and went, that's that's tough. No one can climb that road. Dude. Because that's the that's the thing.
I I wanna say that it was in, like, 7th grade. Yeah. So that would have been Middle school. I'm telling you. In middle school, they made you climb a rope?
No way. No way. Yeah way. No way. Yeah.
It was, what, 1993, I bet you. All the ropes were cut down by then. No. They weren't. Yeah.
Presidential fitness did not require you to climb a rope. Presidential fitness. Yeah. I that's what I'm saying. There was no rope climbing in presidential fitness.
We had it once, One time and then never saw it again. Listen. As a one time old school gym teacher who was like, I remember this. I really enjoyed climbing the rope. We're gonna bring this there and but they woulda had to have the hooks in the ceiling.
They would have all that. No way. No way. Bro. Bro.
If you graduated from Burley High School Uh-huh. In the nineties. No. The you said it was middle school. Yeah.
It was middle school. Yeah. But those kids would have been in middle school with me. I don't buy it. Oh, I'm so mad.
Are you crumpling paper now? I was mad at you. Hi, Classy 97. Hey, Josh and Chantal. Hey.
I got some bad news for you, Josh. What is it? Middle school, Richmond, Virginia, grade 6 through 8 for me. Yeah. We had to climb the rope every year for a physical.
See, now you're in Richmond, Virginia, though. What year? And it was in the nineties. I was born in 1982. Okay.
Alright. So we got we got the same year. Middle school, you had to climb the rope. Yes. It was part of the physical, the mile run.
We had to do sit ups, push ups, climb the rope, and weight lifting Yes. And chin ups. In middle school. Yes. I like not a strength and conditioning class.
Not like not like you you were a wrestler, and they made you do it as a training thing. I was a I was a overweight kid that couldn't do a thing. Me too, buddy. Me too. Seriously.
I don't know. I must have gone to a more, aggressive, modernized school, or or my, PE coach was like, no. That rope's dumb. We're not doing it. I don't know, but we had to do it, so I couldn't even get up 3 feet.
Yeah. Me neither. I think I got my feet on there, and I was like, nope. I'm not doing this. Anyway, I appreciate you guys.
You guys are so hilarious. Hey. Right on. Well, thank you for listening. What's your name?
For giving me validation. Wright. Wesley, nice to, nice to meet you, man. I'm glad you're enjoying the show. Alright.
Thanks. You have a great day. You too. Bye. Bye.
This is kinda your story. Is it? You wanna talk about it? Well, I do wanna say that as upset as you are about me saying you don't or that I let me rewind. As upset as you are at me for saying things about your life that, you think I don't know.
I do know in our shared life, there's a frustration. It's not a frustration for me. And you play it off as just it's not a big deal. Not a big deal. And, both myself and at least our son, I imagine no.
Actually, the kids and I, because there's multiple parts to this, that have confirmed all 3 of us in the house of 4. Plus, I'm sure the dog doesn't like it either. The dog doesn't care. 3a quarter of the populace of the house. You can't even count the kids as 1.
They're half a person because they would they have a mild irritation with it. So they're a half a point each. So 2 points. You get 2 points in your favor. That's all you're allowed to have.
Okay. Well, since you're in control of the points, I guess, we have a vacuum as most houses do for vacuuming the carpets Yes. In the house. Yes. And that vacuum lives in the utility room in the basement with the washer and dryer.
That's where it is stored. That is where it goes when it's not being used. That is where its home is. It comes out. It does its job, and it goes back home.
And on on the way to its home, its cord gets wrapped up properly. Uh-huh. These are the things that are supposed to happen with the vacuum that is now 4 or 5 days sitting in the living room. Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. 4 days.
4 days. Yeah. 4:4 days. Yeah. It's been sitting out of its home.
I now listen. You said, well, if you don't like it, then put it away. Mhmm. First of all, your own argument of I didn't get it out. It's not my responsibility.
There's 1. Thing 2, I can't. I'm recovering from a surgical procedure and can't lift the weight of the vacuum. Long have do we have to go on with this? I don't know.
I'll find out. Can't. I'll find out soon. I know. Ugh.
Yeah. Right? So troubling. All the things I could take care of but can't. I can't mow the lawn because I had surgery.
I can't take the vacuum downstairs because was living right in our bedroom. It was right next to my pillow for a while. You had it just next to the bed. And I went, what? Are you done with this?
No. The room's been vacuumed. No. Why is it still here plugged in with the cord running haphazardly down the hall? And I will say, hazardously running down the hall.
It's a trip hazard. It's not safe. Pick up your feet. Listen. Oh, man.
So I said, hey. Are you done with the vacuum? Because it's it's taken up the the room. So then you moved it to the living room with the cord not wrapped around properly, which then that Emery, our daughter goes, hey. This cord, it doesn't take that long to wrap it up properly.
Yes. But I'm not I'm not done with it. It's been 4 days. Have I had time? I have 2 jobs.
Yes. You have had time to use it and to put it away, but you've chosen not to. Because I'm not quite done with it. Our son said, well, at least it's not hiding around the corner in the hallway so I can run my toes right into it like always happens. Here's my argument.
It's heavy. I know. That's why I can't take it. And so I can't always take it up and down the stairs when I'm partially done with it because I'm not I'm not quite done with it because I still need to get under the bed and under the dresser. You're it's not gonna happen.
Yes. It is gonna happen. I don't know. One of these days, which is why it's hanging out out of the way No. Next to the piano.
It's gotta go. Out of the way. It's not in anybody's way. It's an eyesore. The cord's not wrapped up properly, so it looks like a mess, and it's visible.
The vacuum shouldn't be visible. It hides away in its utility closet for a reason. It's hiding by the side of the piano. It's not hiding very well. It's not visible.
It's very visible. Can't miss it. Then don't look at it. I can't help it. It's right in the we don't have a huge house.
It's right there. It's gotta go. Then put it away. I can. Oh, I can.
It's Japan is, super strange sometimes, a lot of times. They do some weird things. They come up with some strange ideas, and this happens to be one of them. Why did they do? Some weird stuff with food, and this is one of them.
There is a, new noodle that is on the market officially. Okay. It costs 660 yen. That is about $4.50 k. US dollars.
It is called Boost Noodle, and Boost Noodle has an expiration date of 90 days, can be stored at room temperature. It is, an applesauce pouch for kids like that. Okay. But it's full of noodles Okay. And caffeine.
This was a this was a young gamer, a developer who, decided I need to have some caffeine and also some noodles. Okay. And so, they came up with Boost Noodle. It is a caffeinated I'm not kidding. Oh, it's like a Pouch of noodles.
It's a pouch. It's not I thought you were talking about, like, a cup. No. No. No.
It's like a applesauce squeeze pouch Yeah. That you full of noodles. Gross. Yes. How do you get the noodles out of that tiny little what kind of what does the noodles look like?
Well, it's a ready to eat ramen. You don't have to heat it up. You just grab a pouch, take off the lid, and enjoy your boost noodle. Ew. Crap.
Yep. It's a squeezable pouch. You can eat with one hand so you can continue to game, I guess. Woah. It features shortcut noodles, roast pork, bamboo shoots, seafood, and pork pork bone soup.
No. Yes. In a pouch, and you go Ew. Everyone loves it when you eat Boost Noodle near them. How long does is the shelf life?
90 days. Days? Yep. 4.50 a pouch, and, you can slurp up some noodle. Where can you purchase one of these things?
Well, it's in Japan. I know for sure. Is it available in America? I don't know. Well, I just found just doing a BoostNoodle Google search.
You can find one at the I don't wanna say it because I'm gonna mess it up, and I don't wanna offend anybody. So you can find one. It's ready to be shipped for $9. Oh, I see that. But you also have to spend a $150 if you wanna get free shipping.
So I don't For how many packs? For 1? For 1, it's $9. But then you have to pay a $150 to ship it? To get free shipping.
Oh, I'm sorry. Okay. No. Yeah. $9.
I saw a different price, and I was like, wait. They lied. I kinda wanna try one, but I don't wanna spend $9. No. You don't.
I don't, but I do. You're gonna have to eat it in another room. No. I will not. I'll eat it right next to you.
Nobody wants anyone eating Boost Noodle next to them. Taking on a plane? So gross. It is time for the would you rather this or that question of the day. Would you rather eat a bowl of spaghetti without sauce or a bowl of sauce without spaghetti?
I know what I'm gonna pick. What are you picking? I think I'm gonna pick just the bowl of spaghetti without sauce. And why? Because I don't wanna eat marinara soup.
It's the same as tomato soup No. No. According to our son. I don't think I can do that. I mean, you made some ravioli last night.
Yes. And the sauce, it was extra saucy. Yeah. And I don't mind the sauce. I think it was good, but there was too much sauce.
And then there was so much in my bowl. I tried to scrape as much as I could with the noodles. Yeah. But there still was so much. You even, like, dished out your bowl into the garbage.
Yeah. There was extra sauce. Too much sauce. And that's fine. I'm I, I'm with you.
I'm taking the noodles Without sauce. Without sauce. Why? I feel like because you just wanted to pick what I picked. Yeah.
As a meal choice, I feel it's that's more of a meal The noodles? Than a bowl of sauce. Plus, I'm not a big soup guy. So just in general, I'm not I'm not picking that. What kind of?
Oh, I guess it was spaghetti. Okay. You said just a bowl of spaghetti noodles. Like, I boiled up spaghetti. Here it is.
Just the bowl of noodles. Is it has it been buttered or oiled? I that's depends on who's cooking. Clump of noodles. No.
You gotta eat it quick so it doesn't coagulate into 1 clump of noodle. That's what I mean. If you oil or butter it, then it's gonna separate those noodles. Different. If you're making it with butter, then you made you just made butter noodles.
So you didn't say butter noodles or sauce. You said boiled noodles. Okay. Just boiled noodles. You just gotta eat it quick.
You could have one spoonful of it. It will be one thing. If the spaghetti noodles are stuck together, it's fun to spaghetti noodles. Take me a while to chew it for sure. It's time for your better today than yesterday daily challenge, and this is a pretty good one.
I like that this is, this is something you can do today and every day that's just gonna make life a little bit easier for you. There are tasks that come up that you think about, things that you know I could probably get that done pretty quick. Like, it'd probably only take me a minute to get that done. Mhmm. And then you go, or I could just not do it.
Yeah. And you probably have a whole pile of those. Yep. So for the next 24 hours, hours, if you think about doing something that only takes a minute or 2 to complete, just do it. Except Just do it.
I know, but listen. Listen. Because every time I get one of those projects, if I dive into it, then it inevitably turns into another project because I have ADHD. I get it. And and I can't focus.
You just have to stay in the lane of it. Can't. You have to say, this is the one thing that only takes 2 minutes to get done. I'm gonna go do only that. Like, I need to clean out the fridge.
K. That's more than a 2 minute job. I know. But if I clean out the fridge, it's if you give them us a muffin. Right?
Like What does that mean? It's I don't know. When you say right, like, I know what that means. I don't know what that means. You don't know that old kiss story?
I don't I don't know. Can you give a mouse a cookie? It's the same thing. What? Oh, forget about it.
Okay. Listen. If I clean out the fridge, then I'm gonna have to, like, oh, now I gotta clean out the dishwasher, and now I gotta clean out the fridge. But that wasn't that wasn't what you just said. You just said, I need to clean out the fridge.
So you'd stay in that lane. Okay. Now did you create a mess in the sink and the dishwasher in the process? Maybe. But that wasn't what you set out to do.
So that's why we wait for another day. No. For the next 24 hours. If you think about doing something that only takes 1 minute to complete, just do it. So you go, I'm cleaning out the fridge.
Just do it. Clean out the fridge. And then guess what just got added to your list? It's gonna take 2 minutes to clean the sink. No.
It isn't. I'm a have to clean the sink. A big hungry moose comes to visit, and you might give him a muffin to make him feel at home. But if you give him a muffin, he'll want some jam to go with it. Yep.
And when he's eating all the muffins, then he'll want you you to go to the store to get more muffin mix to make more muffins. And then I'll get tired from eating all the snacks. And so then I'll need to take a nap in your bed, and then I'll wake up and I'll need another muffin. That's that's a problem. You you got yourself a problem.
So I don't know how to help with your moose problem, but I had to look that up because that made no sense to me. Wow. It's kind of a it's just a carry on addition to if you give a mouse a cookie. Do you know that one? You know that one.
Thing. That one is like the common one. I get the concept now, but when you just out of nowhere said, you know, like, if you give a moose a muffin. Like, I was supposed to know that that was a child's book about how things can get out of control very quickly. So keep the moose out the kitchen.
What's the solution at the end of the book? Is there a solution? Because it sounds to me like don't give the muffin to the moose. Let him go hungry. I don't remember what the solution is.
It's been a while since I've read that book. Which doesn't sound like a generous, kind thing to do. That moose is hungry. Yeah. I know.
So sometimes you have to make sacrifices like going to the store to get more muffin mix, or you know what? Set some boundaries. Hey, Moose. Listen. I I have a limited number of muffins, and I'm not making more today.
So You get I'd like to give you one muffin. You get one muffin, and then you gotta go. Yep. That's all I'm gonna share. One muffin.
You can go nap in the woods after this one muffin. So then upon the agreement between the 2 of us, the moose who clearly understands English and also knows where I live and comes there regularly for muffins, I would say, there you go, pal. Have a wonderful day. What's what's the what's the daily challenge again? Be proud of yourself for not procrastinating and doing what you know you should do for the next 24 hours.
If you think about doing something that only takes 1 minute to complete, just do it. I don't have any projects that take a minute to complete. Putting away the vacuum? No. Just too heavy.
Maybe tomorrow. I'm not done with it. Be back tomorrow. Have a great wonderful rest of your Tuesday. See you tomorrow.
