It's a doozy. Is it a kazoozy? A kazoozy. Alright. Alright.
Hey. Hey. It's Wednesday morning. Yes. It is.
It is Josh and Chantel. Today is eating healthy day. No. I don't want to. You don't want to?
You just wanna gorge on the junk? Yeah. Doesn't that sound lovely? I mean, it sounds a little better than eating vegetables maybe for a minute. I mean, I could I could handle, like, a healthy, nice, big breakfast.
That sounds pretty What kind of healthy breakfast are you thinking? Oh, I didn't necessarily mean healthy, but there will be potatoes in the form of hash browns. K. I would have some sort of meat. What kind of I can't decide if I want sausage links or bacon right now.
If I do bacon, it's gotta be crispy. Well, yeah, it does. I don't like that floppy wet bacon. Ew. Nobody does.
Our daughter does. I don't want I don't want a bread thing. I want an egg thing. You could have both. I don't no.
What I mean is, like, I don't want, like, a biscuit or a pancake or a waffle. Oh, I see. I want I want an egg thing. Like, not necessarily an omelette. That sounds heavy.
I don't know. Maybe just a couple of eggs, some hash browns, and, 2 slices of bacon and a sausage link. I think that's what I want. I got some apple Jacks. Will that do?
Apple Jacks. I don't have any of that other stuff. But the Same. Same. So there's that.
Let's see. What else? National ladies learning code day. Oh. Yeah.
Programming. I saw Building things. To do a, advent calendar. And so I was looking at some different advent calendars. There is a coding advent calendar where for 12 days leading up to Christmas, you have a different coding project.
And I thought, that looks kinda fun. Interesting. Yeah. No. What do you code in?
What software? Do you know? Mhmm. I don't know. Okay.
I I didn't do that much research. K. What do we have? Marooned without a compass day. Oh, no.
Don't get lost. It's your favorite instrument today. It's the national saxophone day. Guys. You love the saxophone.
Guys. No. I I just got into an argument with a friend about the saxophone. Not an argument. In disagreement.
You love it. Because he said, this is the best solo saxophone I've ever heard, and I went, is that a thing? Saxophone is a terrible instrument. It doesn't make pretty music. Fight me.
Fight it is national advent calendar day while you were just talking about that. Weird. This day marks the beginning of the festive countdown to Christmas with the introduction of various advent calendars. What? It seems kinda early for advent calendar.
Depends on how, how, many days you wanna celebrate before. I feel like a month and a half before is too much adventing. K. Maybe. Well, I was looking at some of these cool ones that were 12 days before Christmas, and they were kinda pricey.
Sure. And then I was looking at the 25 days, and those are even more pricey. So if you're going a month and a half, countdown So here's what it says. So this originally, the advent calendar started in Germany, which is, of course, and national advent calendar day itself began in 2020. The grocery store chain, the supermarket Aldi, started Advent Calendar Day in 2020 because they wanted to kick off the holiday season with the release of their advent calendars.
So each year on the 1st Wednesday of November, Aldi launches its advent calendar collection. So today is the day you should go buy one from Aldi. It's pretty much a grocery store holiday. They all are. Yeah.
Somebody just decides. Right? Yes. It's national basketball day. It is international sweater festival.
Yeah. You like a sweater vest? I do. Well Not your buffet vest. Sweater vest.
Yeah. I'm wearing a vest. It's International Sweater Festival, and it is National Nachos Day. Oh. I love nachos.
Oh, talking about breakfast, let's talk about nachos. Nachos are pretty good. Whose chips are these? Nachos. Nacho?
Stupid. Hey. Good morning. It's Josh and Chantel. There was a 71 year old man named William.
William what? Just William. That's it. I am last name, but I don't wanna butcher it. So I'm just gonna we're just gonna call him William.
Alright. William was riding his bike in Oregon, and an ambulance crashed into him. I saw this story. The ambulance scooped him up, rushed him to the hospital Yes. And then they billed him for more than $800.
Yeah. I saw that, and I went, how does that work? What? I mean, look. I if it would have been any other car, they would have charged him the $1800 for the hospital ride.
So maybe it's just something that they their system does. But the fact that it was specifically the ambulance that hit him hit him? Now was he at fault? He okay. He's also racked up $47,000 in medical expenses and expects another 50,000 of medical costs in the future.
Wow. He fractured his nose. He got scraped up and bruised. He also suffered decreased range of motion, reduced grip strength, and other injuries. I don't know whose fault it was.
I don't have that information. Yeah. He is suing them, the ambulance. I would assume. He's suing the ambulance provider.
Columbia fire I see. Columbia River Fire and Rescue. That's who he's suing. I see. The ambulance provider.
So this might not be like a city municipality, ambulance. This this sounds like it might even be like a private. Like, we we transport people, but we we contract Yeah. Kind of thing. I don't know.
Anyway, it seems it seems weird that they would hit him and then Send him the bill. And then send him the bill. Yeah. Hey. You got run over.
We know it, but, you know, pay for it. We had to use gas to take you to the hospital. So $1800 worth. This one's on you, bud. Yeah.
$1800 worth of gas will take you across the country. You kidding me? Yeah. Crazy. Yeah.
William, I hope you're okay, buddy. No kidding. I hope you don't have to pay that. Me neither. There is a guy in Tulsa.
I don't know his name. In Oklahoma? Yeah. He is color blind, and he recently got those the special glasses that have him see color. Right.
Footage of him is going viral because he got to watch his favorite movie, The Wizard of Oz, for the first time in color. Oh, wow. So, that's probably a really cool experience from the transition of black and white at the beginning of that film into when everything goes into Technicolor, and you get to see all of the I mean, the whole place. The rainbow, the the rivers. Oh, the whole thing.
So he, how old is this guy? Because I'm just thinking if that's his favorite film, he's gotta be an older guy, potentially. I don't know, Josh. You always ask these questions. I just you know, it feels like the right question to ask.
47. He's 47. I would have expected older. But 47, his favorite movie is The Wizard of Oz Yeah. Plops on his glasses and probably, goes a little crazy.
Them on a whim without knowing whether or not they would work. Uh-huh. He was immediately captivated by the colors around his living room. I remember when I got glasses, just regular glasses for the first time. Sure.
And I was like, you can see the veins in the leaves on the tree. Like, that was amazing to me. I was like, this is a whole new world. It's high def. Yeah.
I'm seeing in 4 k. Imagine him being able to see. Our son is color blind, and so I I really want these glasses for him so that he can see the fall colors on the trees because it's amazing. Among other things, I mean, there's so much great things to see. Yeah.
So after he experienced everything around him, all the colors around him, then he turned on the wizard of Oz. He was excited to see the horse in Emerald City change colors for the first time. Right. The yellow brick road, he was like, oh my gosh. He said cool.
For him, a green traffic light just looks like a white light, and rainbows are just a yellow line. Really? And every colorblind is a little bit different. Of course. Yeah.
But now, now he's seeing all kinds of stuff. How fun. I know. That's very special. Stories like that.
Yeah. What what's his name? Chris. Oh, okay. What?
You said you didn't know his name earlier. Well, I I clicked on more information. I got I got his name. You got his age. You know he's from Tulsa, Oklahoma.
I know everything. You have any questions to ask? Not anymore. I got them all. What's his wife's name?
Margaret. Is it? No. But I do like that you started the story with there's a guy in Tulsa. I don't know his name.
And then I tried to do a gotcha. What's his name for you to go, I told you I don't know his name, and you pull out Chris. Well, I know it now. Yeah. I got it.
I gathered. Well done. I did my research. Oh, fun. So any other brain busters?
Nope. I'm all I've got all the information I need. Thanks. I like this story. It's from, this guy, Anton Newton Boom.
Yeah. That's right. I got it. N o o t e n, Newton K. B o o m, Newton Boom.
He's 37 years old. He's a Dutch army veteran, and he set a new world record. He walked barefoot from Los Angeles to New York City. For what purpose? Oh.
Just because? Well, he raised awareness for men's health along the way, and he completed the 31100 mile journey in 260 days. Look at that guy. What's his name? His name is Anton Newtonboom.
Anton. To officially break the record, he couldn't take even one step with shoes, socks, or even a bandage. It was a zero tolerance policy. Oh, really? Nothing on the feet.
And he took on an even greater challenge as he chose not to wear shoes or socks even during his breaks and rest time. He raised $92,000 and brought a lot of attention to the cause through his social media messages, which reached, about 1,300,000 people. And he has no regrets about spending most of 2024 barefoot walking across the country. He said there was a, he was very eager and excited to put on shoes and socks immediately upon crossing the fishing finish line at Times Square. So he walked from LA to New York City barefoot.
What was he raising money for? Awareness for men's health. Okay. Did you say that? Did I miss that part?
Mhmm. Mhmm. Good job, Anton. Anton Newtonboom. Newtonboom.
Good job, bud. Barefoot walk across the country. I can barely walk barefoot across the backyard. It hurts. So good for you, Anton.
I know. Yeah. He couldn't have anything on his feet, not even bandages. Nothing. Got a cut.
Just bleeding all over the street. Sure he did. I'm sure he did. Unsafe. Well, you do what you gotta do when you're trying to set a world record, I suppose.
So congratulations, Sam, and Tom. Newton Boom? Good Newton Boom to get you going. When you hold hands with someone Hamburger hot dog. Preferably me.
Yeah. Well, yeah. I would assume. Hamburger hot dog? Yeah.
What are you talking about? Pancake waffle is what it's called, but I like to call it hamburger hotdog. Where your fingers are not interlaced? Yeah. Hamburger is just not fingers interlaced, and then hotdog is when they are.
Because look at all them hotdogs. You know? I get it now. Yeah. That's why I call it hamburger hot dog.
But, apparently, if you just hold hands hamburger style, that's a pancake. And if you interlock fingers, that's a waffle, which makes no sense because it should be called sausages because look at all them sausages. What is your preferred method of holding hands? I do that. Prefer the cupped, or do you prefer the interlocked?
Either way, I'd I'll, for some reason, it feels weird if my thumb is underneath. That's all I really care about. Yeah. I don't particularly like having my thumb trapped. Most people say that they prefer holding their hands interlocked.
Hot dogs. I'd like to hold your hand just like a finger. Just one? Just one. Like Because I feel I feel if I'm interlocked, it's too tight of a grip.
Mhmm. I feel That's because I have this big mitt. And then you've got the little hand, so your hand feels stretched. It feels, yeah, it feels too tight. Right.
That's why I just like that big old hand. I just like to cup your pinky with my pinky. And then just Yeah. Pinky swear. Yeah.
And then just skedaddle. I think that's fine. I don't think there's any right or wrong way. There is no right or wrong way. Whatever feels good.
You know? Most people just prefer interlocking fingers. Hot dogs. And that's okay. I like prefer that too sometimes.
You just lock them in and then wiggle them hot dogs. But that's what I'm saying. When I interlock my hand with your hand Mhmm. My fingers are stubby. I know.
So then I can't hot dog. Yeah. I'm I'm rocking hot dogs, and you're over there with Vienna sausages. I get it. Little Smokies.
Whatever you whatever you want. Hot dogs and Smokies. It's cool. Does. Yeah.
That's our new morning show name. Hot dogs and Smokies. Wake up with hot dogs and Smokies. Do you imagine first thing in the morning, hot dogs and Smokies? It's hot dogs and Smokies, everybody.
Yeah. Hope you enjoy your breakfast. Good hearty breakfast of hot dogs and little Smokies. It's pretty gross. It is gross.
I don't wanna be called that. I really don't wanna be called little Smokies. Vienna sausages is not better. Worse. No.
It's not good. You're a Goonies fan, aren't you? Oh, yeah. I like The Goonies a lot. Do you?
Yeah. How much do you like The Goonies? I mean, I've probably seen that movie 5 times. So not like not like obsessive, but enough that I like, I I know the plot real well. Okay.
We you haven't ever gone to see the house where they film No. In Astoria? No. My cousin was there just a few weeks ago and sent me pictures from him. Oh, really?
On. I know. I know. Where's our invitation? I know.
Cousin? Yeah. Why am I not over on the Oregon coast? No kidding. Let's go there right now.
Sure. So there the house was sold. It was owned by somebody who didn't like fans coming to the house, and then it was bought by a different owner about 2 years ago. That is correct. And they said, yes.
We want people to come. We want the fans to come. People doing truffle shuffle outside. Yes. They've I mean, these sort of museum did a little bit.
And they they love the people coming to look at the house. The neighbors do not. The neighbors put up a sign that says Goonies not welcome. The owner put up his own sign saying, hey, you guys. That's fantastic.
Goonies welcome. So then there's another guy, another neighbor in the house. It's like, yeah. We don't like it. And here's what it looks like.
There are 5 houses on the street. It's a private drive. No cars are allowed. So people just walk up constantly. Yeah.
And so I go, from the neighbor's perspective, there would be people constantly in your area, in your neck of the woods. So, yes, I can absolutely see how that would get annoying. You're just trying to enjoy a cup of coffee on your patio, and here comes a bunch of strangers. Yeah. But, also, on the same token, I'm like, but it's the Goonies house.
Right. Like, it it, yeah. It's a it's a landmark. And, eventually, you know, people will move on from it, but it's it's gonna be in its prime for a little while. And that's, like, now because we're all with adult money and can travel to go see it finally.
So, you know, it's a part of our childhood. So all of our people adult money. That makes me laugh. Yeah. Wait.
All of this money is mine? Yeah. Oh, I have adult money. I can go and see things now. Go see The Goonies house?
Yeah. I wanna see it on, on maps. I'm looking at it right here. Okay. Yeah.
I see. There is a there's a documentary that's called The House From, and it's it features famous houses and the people who kinda live around them, different neighbors and stuff, and how they have to deal with the day to day of all of these fans coming to look at these houses, which that looks like an interesting interesting documentary. It's on Prime. It's actually as I look at this on Google Maps, it's it is not super conveniently located. Like, you really do have to kinda walk up a path, and you have to, like, you have to go next to neighbor's houses to get there.
It's a little tight quarters Yes. To be honest. I understand. I get it. And if you've got a bunch of people, you know, headed up that way like, when I think about it in my head from the movie, it feels like it's kind of just on, like, a street you drive down.
That's not the case. It's a little bit off the, beaten path to, to get to it. So, anyway, yeah, I think, I think I understand what they're saying. Ultimately, everybody needs to be respectful. Right?
Like, if if people are gonna go see it Hey. Don't be annoying. Hey. Hey. Hey.
If it's good enough for me Oh, here you go. Then it's good enough for you. Yeah. Alright. It's Thank you.
Thank you, Cindy. Thank you. Appreciate it. Thanks so much. We were out with some friends last night, and our friend gave us a lovely gift, which was a complete surprise.
Well, it it's you see a gift sitting on the table when you show up, and and you go, what's the gift? And, like, thinking, you know, what is it somebody's birthday? Did we miss a calendar date? What happened? And no.
No. That's just a I saw this thing. I thought it was fun. Yeah. Which is It's a gift for you.
Gift. Right. Somebody just sees something nice. Nice little surprise. Made me think of you.
And it was for both of us. So the thing made us made her think of both of us. And we open it, and it's a It's a game. It's a game. Yeah.
It's a kazoo game. Yeah. The kazoo Kazoo that tune. I couldn't think of the name. Thank you.
Name. Yeah. And and you get a kazoo, and you get a card with a song on it, and you kazoo the tune, and everybody has to guess what song you're kazooing. Which is awesome. It is very awesome.
Own that game. Yes. We do. Because, again, that's a killer game. Spot on.
And we and we're like, yeah. No. This is this is music, check. Kazoos, Check. Fun?
Yeah. Check. Yeah. This is us. This is right up our alley.
So then I go, oh, we already have this game. And then I think to myself, is that rude to tell somebody that you already have the gift that they've bought for you, or is it more rude to say nothing and pretend like you don't already have the gift? I don't know which is more polite is what I'm I don't know the answer either because you don't want to offend anybody, obviously. But by I think it's how you handle it. If you're like, I already have that and toss it aside Uh-huh.
That's different than if you're like, no. This gift is spot on. It's so spot on. I already have this. Like, you are correct.
This is a great gift idea. A great gift idea. And she agreed. She said, I would prefer that you say I already have this gift because that means I've done my job Right. And done a good service to you by knowing you and giving you a gift I know that you'll enjoy.
Correct. Yeah. Because I've been in that predicament before where you go. Where you've given a gift? I've been given a gift, and and I've already received a similar gift.
And I go, ah, I'm a say that. You were going the other way. Have you ever given a gift to somebody that they've already had? I'm sure I have, but I don't have a memory. Because they lied to you.
They probably do. They were like, no. This is a great gift. Never seen this before. What is this?
Oh. What is what is this thing? It it holds 2 pieces of paper together when you squeeze it? It that's what it does? Wow.
That's the only thing I had laying around. Good job. A stapler. Yeah. Oh.
A stapler is a good gift. What a good invention a stapler is. Oh, I don't have that. It's a thoughtful thing. It is a thoughtful thing.
And immediately when we opened it, I said, oh, we already have this. It's a great this is a great game. So I think she recognized that she had done A good gift. It's a good gift. It turned into Kazuathu.
Kazuathu? Yeah. I just made it up. Oh. Kazooathoo.
Yes. Kazooathoo. I've been to one of those. What what is that? I don't know.
I don't know. Make up more. What is it? It's just a party where you have kazoos. A kazooathoo.
Which is what we had. A kazooathoo. A party with kazooas. Oh, Josh. Wait.
Am I working today? I don't know. I don't know either. Look. It's, it's like 8 in the morning, and, you're working.
You're here. You're in the chair. The mic is in front of you. It's on. What do you wanna talk about?
Let's talk about something you've seen a lot of, but you're still every time you see it, you go, okay. That's pretty beautiful. I was driving home last night Yeah. And the sunset was Yeah. You said it was pretty incredible.
Phenomenal. I love a good sunset. I got in my car, and I was kinda cranky because the weather was cold, and the sky was gray. And I was like, ah, I go to work when it's dark. I come home when it's dark.
Right. I'll never see my house in the daylight for the next 12 months because that's how long winter lasts. 12 months. Got in my car, and I'm driving home. And I'm like, I just want some upbeat, peppy music because I'm feeling crummy.
Yeah. And it was beautiful, that sunset. The sky was pink. Not even on the west side of the world. It was pink on the east side of the it was just beautiful.
And it was making the tops of the trees just Like, gold light up? Just glowing. That's cool. I didn't get a chance to see it. I heard you talking about it.
But, but by the time you'd gotten home, I guess it was done and you didn't wanna share. So that's fine. Just messing with you. So it sucks. Say nature nature in general.
Yeah. Like, you and I in the spring went to San Diego, and saw the ocean, and I hadn't seen the Pacific Ocean since I was in Costa Rica when I was, like, 17 or 18. Uh-huh. And so that was really special. The the ocean is fascinating to me.
It's just giant. And then we got to go out on a whale watching cruise. That was incredible. And, and checked out, like, a whole ton of dolphins and saw a whale, and, that was just that's fascinating to me. Every time I go backpacking and I wake up in the woods and you step out and you're just in it in the morning, it's the best thing ever.
I'll never get tired of that. We didn't spend enough time in the woods this summer. We need to go to the woods. There's just there's a lot of those things where where I just go like, this is this is it. Right?
This is what it's about. Even even even. This is the only time you'll hear me say this. The first snowfall was beautiful, and it's heavy, and it encompasses everything. Sure.
And the trees are covered. Yeah. That's pretty. I like those big slow falling flakes. Those ones that just are, like, just you could almost hear them hit.
They're very cool. You don't get a lot of that. We get that, like, ugh, snow. You do after a while. And then The first couple of snowfalls you're like And then people drive the road and doesn't get plowed nearly enough, and then we get those cool little ice ruts.
Gross. I'm not looking forward to any of that. No. We're keeping it on the don't go down. Oh, okay.
Down in the pits. Okay. Keep it up. Alright. Alright.
What are some other things that are amazing? Don't drag it down. I don't I don't get tired of looking at that. Oh, John. Come on now.
I'm in awe of that every time I see it. Why are you trying to brown nose? Just trying to get it back on track. That's all. Did it work?
Yeah. I guess. Yeah. Thanksgiving is a time for friendship and family and delicious food and love and thanks and giving. I really like how you've, started off because I feel like there's a twist.
There's always a twist. What's the truth? Knows. There's always some kind of family drama when it comes to Thanksgiving. There's always maybe grandpa has said something you don't agree with.
Okay. Maybe somebody's been invited that you just can't stand. And then you end up sitting next to him. Maybe somebody eats more deviled eggs than they should. They had more than their fair share.
Maybe somebody's rooting for the football team that you don't want to win. That could happen. Who is playing that Thanksgiving? Isn't it always the Lions in somebody, which I think you're pretty good with? I like the Lions.
Let me look really quick. Thanksgiving I don't like that they're in my division. I wish that they were in a different division. Yeah. So that you couldn't, oh, I can't I can't even look it up.
But at the moment, in the room, the Internet's down. So I've gotta do it on my phone. Hang on. Okay. Well, that's not what I'm gonna talk about.
But what I am gonna talk about is there was a woman who says that her her upcoming Thanksgiving dinner has begun going to be a family spectacle because she told her sister not to bring anything homemade to the festivities because her food is borderline inedible. She says she's not a great cook. Yeah. And I don't mean just not great. She somehow managed to turn classic dishes into borderline inedible creation.
Quit putting raisins in stuff. Insists on cooking something homemade every year. 1 year, she showed up with her special stuffing recipe, but it had random spices like cinnamon and cardamom. It was dry, and the flavors were confusing. Somebody took a small bite, and then the rest of it went untouched.
Another year, she brought green bean casserole that had a strange chewy texture, where she later admitted that she used coconut milk and almond flour to experiment. No. Listen. I'm all about trying new recipes, and I've done this where I've been like, I wanna make something cool and something different, and, and and it's been okay, but it's always a risk. If you're like, I'm gonna do something new I've never done, and then you end up, like, making an apple cheesecake, and you have to learn what a water bath is.
And then it ends up taking all day. All day. And then 4 people try it. Yeah. That's how my stuff usually goes too.
I stick with the regular stuff, I guess. So her sister, the host, said I thought I would avoid drama by asking her to bring nonfood items. So bring some something to drink or some flowers for the centerpieces. Yeah. There you go.
She said, I just wanted to make it easy, and I said, I'll handle everything else. I like it. I enjoy it, but the sister is offended and feels like she's being shut out of the family gathering. And she said, I want to be a part of it, and I'm bringing my famous green bean casserole whether you like it or not. Does it have raisins in it?
No. It doesn't. It's the green bean. And as It's the one from the French onion can? Coconut milk and almond milk.
Don't bring it. No one's gonna eat it. You're gonna end up taking that all home. No. We don't want any of those leftovers, but thanks so much for bringing that thing we told you not to bring.
Yeah. Wish you would've brought centerpieces. Wish you would've brought something for everyone to drink. Yeah. Yeah.
Can't you just bring the sparkling ciders Just bring can't you? Something that people are actually going and here's the other part. You're spending a lot of money on something that people aren't gonna eat. That's right. So spend money on something that people will Sparking cider.
Bring it. Go get 2, 3 packs. Call it a day. Or if you find that people aren't eating your food, then maybe bring a store bought pie or There you go. Store bought rolls.
I mean, I get it. I like I said, I've tried to bring something new. I haven't done it, like, every year where I'm like, I'm bringing something new and weird just until they tell me not to bring anything something new and weird anymore. But I kinda wonder if maybe the sister like, this would be something that I would pull off where I'm like, oh, I'm gonna bring something weird just because. Right.
Correct. Because the one the one being, feeling outcast is probably the younger sisters. Like, I just wanna be a part of the thing. Yeah. Let me Nobody ever fights me to stop.
I'm gonna bring my weird being green bean casserole. Yeah. I don't care if anybody eats it. I wonder sometimes if she is the little sister and she's like, yeah. I'm gonna make the weird thing.
Yeah. That's what I do best. Bring the weird thing. Here it comes. Here get a heap a heaping spoonful of this weird thing.
I made it. You're gonna love it. You wanna go on a date? Yeah. I do.
Yes. Thank you. Check it out. So, you and I, tonight, date night, fat cats in Rexburg. Mano y mano.
Me going to a movie tonight. What movie did we decide on? We're going to the new Venom movie. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Which you sound like you're not excited. I'm not that excited. I picked that one because I thought that would be the one that you would be most excited. Well, I appreciate that we're, gonna go see it. I think it's gonna be a lot of fun.
So we're gonna go check it out. Fat Cats in Rexburg. These guys, they have, like, remodeled a bunch of stuff. And I'm excited too because, we we're gonna order some food, and they bring the food to you in the theater, and they hand it to you in your seat, which I'm very excited for. I'm excited for that too.
You and I have been to Fat Cats a handful of times Yeah. In Rexburg, and we have not I've never seen a movie there. To a movie there. We've bowled there. We've mini golf there.
Stuff. Yeah. But we've never participated in a movie there. So tonight, you and I, movie night, fat cats, Rexburg. It's gonna be fun.
And, we're gonna, go see the new Venom movie, which I think I think it'll be good. I think it'll be fun. I like the Venom character. He's, who's the who's the voice of Venom? I was just gonna look and see who is is Tom Tom Hardy.
Is that his name? I don't know. Yeah. That's his name. It's gotta be his name.
The Last Dance. It's Venom, The Last Dance. Yeah. That's what it's called. Okay.
Here's why I don't think I'm necessarily excited because I don't know much about Venom. Oh, okay. Is there did you see the first one? No. Maybe you should watch the first one.
It might help. Just a little bit. I don't. But I think it's great. I'm not gonna have time is what I'm saying.
The I wonder if Tom does the voice of both. But anyway, he plays Eddie. And I don't know that guy at all. You don't know Eddie? Mm-mm.
But I like it when when Venom, the character goes, Eddie. Like, he gets all he's such a deep, cool voice. Anyway, I think it's fun. They have a nice little relationship, the 2 of them, Venom and Eddie. They're pals, sort of, kinda, forced to forced to be friends.
So it'll be cool to see, exactly what goes on in in this one. I'm trying to see who else is in here. It he is the voice. Oh, he does the both the voice. Okay.
Yes. Cool. Who else is in here? Juno Temple is in here. I don't know who that is.
Stephen Graham is in here. It says Jenny Slate is in oh, no. That's the film series. You're not looking just at this movie. Oh, no.
Okay. I love Jenny Slate. I was excited that she was gonna be in it. She's not in it. She isn't in it.
Well Sad day for me. Well, anyway, I'm excited to see it. That'll be fun. We got a date night tonight. Much needed little, getaway to Fat Cats in Rexburg.
I know. Go check on a movie. So and we'll tell you all about it, how it goes. We'll tell you about the new remodeled Fat Cats and what they've got going on as we kinda talk about it after our date tonight. So, if you're listening now and you wanna hear more about our date, we'll tell you more about it later after we have a date.
Yeah. Josh and Chantel date night tonight, Fat Cats. Going to watch a movie. Yes. Yes.
Smooches. Aw. You are, gonna be blown away by this. Folks in Japan decided they wanted to launch a satellite into space. So they grabbed up some magnolia wood, and they built a satellite.
And, they launched it to the International Space Station to see if it could make it. And? There's a wooden satellite in space. They made it work. The idea is to explore sustainable materials for space construction.
Previous tests had shown that wood can withstand the harsh environment of space. And so, lignosat is the company out of Japan. They are testing to see if wood could replace traditional materials, which would reduce space junk since wooden satellites would burn up completely upon reentry. Yeah. Because they're not chunks of metal.
Japan, you smarties. I know. Isn't that an interesting thing? Of you. Yeah.
So, you know, if it gets up there and it can stay structurally together and cruise around for a long time and then they can purposefully redirect it towards space to see if it completely burns up on reentry, which it should Yeah. Because it'd be so hot going through the atmosphere and stuff, then there's no waste. Smart. That is smart. I like it.
Well done, Japan. Yeah. Wooden satellites. And Japan's over there going like, ah, what about wood? Has anybody thought about wood?
Or we're going like, what metal are we gonna make that's gonna be able to withstand the heat? And they're like, why not just make it not? Try. What about if the spaceship that takes it up can, but when it comes back down, it's that's not garbage. I wanna be a part of a space crew.
You do? Yeah. You wanna go to space, or you wanna be in charge of, like, a mission? I don't wanna be in charge of this mission. Anything.
Let me be clear. I just really wanna follow the scientists around Uh-huh. And listen in on conversations. I'm not gonna understand any of it. Right.
But I wanna be a fly on the wall that's, like, observing and listening and watching the whole process because I think that is fascinating and so intriguing Mhmm. Just watching watching it all come together. I agree. It'd be it'd be really So I don't wanna be in charge of the thing. Absolutely not.
I I just wanna be somebody's intern. A space intern. Those exist. Yeah. I will.
They exist. You can go learn all about rovers and rockets and propulsion systems and control systems. Can I be somebody's space intern, please? Please let me be your intern. Let me be your space intern?
I promise that I'm not gonna contribute anything. I bet. Listen. You might Just wanna listen. You might surprise yourself as you're kind of learning things.
You're like, wait a minute. Did anybody think about wood? And they're like, come on, Chantel. That might be turn. Come on.
You're right. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'll see my way out. But then but then one guy who's in the who's on the team is gonna be like, wait a minute.
And then he's gonna take out my credit about wood. And then he's gonna steal my idea. And then you're gonna be a permanent fixture on the team, and then you're gonna be in charge of stuff. Because they're gonna be a good wood lady. No.
Somebody's gonna say, what a brilliant idea. Whose idea was that? And he's gonna say, oh, it's mine. I came up with it. You're like, no.
It was intern Chantel. I did it. I'm the wood. Not the I'm the one with the wood idea. It was me.
Do you know where White Elephant comes from? White Elephant gift comes from? Somebody used to, like, give an actual, like, ceramic white elephant. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Is that for real? So the king of Siam the legend is the king of Siam, now it's Thailand, but in the day, it used to be called Siam. Back in the day. He used to give a gift of white elephants to people he disliked.
But it was a statue. Right? It was like a porcelain No. It was a real white elephant. Real white elephants?
They were rare. They were sacred and rare, and they were automatically given to the monarch. The monarch would give them as a gift to someone. The gift could either be good or bad fortune. If the monarch liked the recipient, they would also give land to help pay for the elephant.
If they did not like the recipient, they wouldn't include the land making the gift a financial burden. White elephants were expensive and required special food and housing, and they were also not allowed to be worked. So you couldn't use them as a work elephant. So at what point did that stop? Because I can't imagine finding white elephants was easy.
Yeah. And so how many of these were actually given out? I don't know. 2 I don't know. And and one to one guy he liked and one to one guy he didn't like, and then he went, see?
Now this will be a thing forever. I know. And when did it turn into, like, here's a joke gift? I don't know. Well, it turned into a joke gift.
Okay. I know that part. So in 17th in 17th century, the white elephant term became widespread, and so it's now used to describe an expensive burden that doesn't meet expectations. They're not always expensive. No.
No. I buy I buy cheapies. Yeah. Because that's, you know, budget friendly. But it is definitely sometimes a burden where I go, why do I have to ask this?
I don't want this. The gift I gave last year or the year before, maybe it was the year before, that was not a burden at all. That was a good gift. I'm trying to even remember. It was a fanny pack that looks like a belly.
That. I got that. I know you did. That's a good gift. I know.
That's not a burden at all. No. I need to wear that, like, all the time. It's a belly fanny pack. Yeah.
You should wear it all the time. I should. Looks like my belly's hanging out. It's a good look. It's why I wanted it because it's a good joke.
It is a good joke. You wear with anything, and it just looks like your belly's hanging out and whatever you're wearing. Sure. Why not? Bathing suit.
Already got my belly hanging out. Double belly. Double belly. I didn't think about it that way. Too because it has a belly button, doesn't it, on the fanny pack?
Yeah. You could have it either above or below your actual belly button. So Above? Yeah. Who wears a fanny pack that high?
You could. I don't think so. So then you could have 2 belly buttons. Nah. You could really make cover up my real one with the with the bag belly bag button.
Could make you could really give people a double take. Like, what? Does that man have 2 belly buttons? What? And why is that one so high?
Because it would be, I mean, it would be inches higher because that bag kinda hangs down maybe 4 inches. That belly button's gonna be 4 inches or 5 inches above my regular belly button. That's gonna be a decent distance. Do you have a high belly button or a low belly button? Mine I feel like it's in the middle of me.
Is that normal? Is my belly button not the middle of me? If you were to put me on to a point with my belly button, would I not balance? I don't know. I really wanna test that theory out.
How can we test this? Called? A fulcrum? Yes. If you put my belly button on the fulcrum, would I teeter totter?
How can we do this? I that sounds painful. So I don't really want it It'll be a soft fulcrum No. Pillow. That's not gonna work.
We have to try this. Josh, I'm writing it down. We're gonna try it. Gonna try it. No.
We're gonna try this fulcrum. I wonder if my torso is heavier than the the volume of my legs and feet. I think so. Would I be top heavy I think so. At the belly button point?
My belly button may not be the middle of me. What is the middle of you? Somewhere maybe a little higher to balance out the weight of my torso and head. You see? Well, typically, a human head weighs £8.
Okay. Thanks. So you've got 8 pounds of head. Maguire. And then and then how much do you think your torso weighs in your arms?
£2? 2. Is your belly button the middle of you? Is it the middle of your body? A common misconception is that your belly button is your midline structure.
An anatomical survey examined whether the belly button is located in the middle. It has not been reported. They have not done enough science about this. But for most people for most people, it is not perfectly in the middle of your body. I bet okay.
Instead of a fulcrum, we could probably just do some measurements. I still wanna do the fulcrum because I'm not talking distance. It may, distance wise, be the middle of me, but it may not be my pivot point. Uh-huh. My pivot point is higher in my torso where my fake belly button could be if I was wearing the belly bag belly button.
You see? Can we please try the fulcrum? No. What can we use? Nothing.
A balance beam? I need a pole of some kind. I'm not gonna balance on something that way. I would it would have to be long, and my belly button midline would go across it. I'm not gonna put a point in my belly button.
It's Josh. Like like one of those birds on a little thing that spins around. I'm not doing that. I'm gonna put a pillow on it, so it'll be soft. No.
I'm good. I'm gonna make this happen. I just gotta figure out what I can use. Nah. You can use math to figure it out without physically having to observe it.
Math? Good. No. Yeah. We'll do belly button math instead.
No. No. That sounds awful. Yeah. I need a visual representation.
We'll build some sort of, model out of the math. If you have my gift for a pro. Stop. Stop. Stop.
You and I like to do every year, we have a tradition at our house where we, choose ornaments that speak to us or that represent what has happened in our life that year. We end up with, like, 4 ornaments every year that are that are new. Yeah. Well, each person. Yeah.
No. Per person? 4 per person? No. Because we make one, and then we find one to buy, and then something will happen where we're like, ah, but this one's great too.
And so then we end up with a whole bunch of new ornaments. But our tree is, is not like everything is a theme and everything is, like, red or whatever. Archery is just a hodgepodge of family memories forever. And I love it. And there's some really when Emery was little, she picked some of the ugliest, ugliest ornaments.
Yeah. And now at 15, she looks at him. She's like, what was I thinking about this butterfly? She thought it was beautiful at the time. It's a big, huge, purple butterfly.
She's like Big as a plate. But every time I put that on the tree, I go, I love it because whatever you were at the time, you thought that was your ornament, and that makes me happy. We found we were at a craft fair the other day over the weekend, and we found a vintage Santa Yeah. Ornament. With, like, a old nappy beard.
Yes. Gross. Beard is so gross. Yeah. It's all matte and and thick.
But it's, yeah. He's super cool. I like that guy. I like him too. We could have Josh got a Stanley Yeah.
Tumbler ornament. These are, yeah, these are happening. You can get a Stanley tumbler ornament. They're selling exclusively at Target, so everybody go out and get it now. Go rush to buy your $10 ornament Stanley ornament.
They come in 2 different colors, red delicious and honey talks. Okay. And it's 4 less than a little less than 4 and a half inches high and just over 2 inches wide. So it comes on a key ring, so you can use it as a key chain on your purse or your keys, or you can hang it on your tree. That's okay.
It also comes with a removable lid. So what? You can have a tiny little sip in there? Well, it's a perfect little hidden compartment for ChapStick or dollar bills. Dollar bills where I roll up my money and keep it in my Stanley Cup.
Yeah. I'm good. You don't want the Stanley mug? No. Okay.
Comes in 2 colors. Red Delicious and Honeytox. No. It's okay. Know what what color Honeytox is.
Probably yellow. Oh, like a gold? That's what I think. Golden Yeah. Stanley.
Honeytox. Red one and then, like, a little yellow. Yeah. It's gold. Yeah.
Yep. I don't need it. Okay. $10, Josh. Nah.
Somebody else can have mine. You're feeling very generous. Yeah. You know, you can have it. I don't you can go buy it.
I won't take one off the shelves for you. I they're gonna end up online for $400. I don't want one. No thanks. I think I'm gonna pass too.
Yeah. I don't even own a real Stanley. There you go. Oh. I have the big green mug, and that's good enough for me.
I saw that the other day. We were cleaning out the garage, and I went, there's a Stanley back here. That's for hot cocoa on Sled Days. You ready to do a little would you rather this or that? Sure am.
Alright. Let's go. Would you rather cook the entire Thanksgiving meal or wash all of the Thanksgiving dishes? I will cook. You already know the answer to this.
Know the answer to what I'm gonna say. Cooking? No. Dishes? Absolutely.
That's why we're a good team. I'll do the cleanup. You do the cooking. I was talking to my dad yesterday. Because yesterday, you asked would I rather cook the whole thing in a microwave or on a grill.
And I said, let me cook. And he was like, yeah. You should do that, and she can just watch. Yeah. Because you were excited about watching me make a whole turkey dinner situation on my black stuff.
That's what I'm best at when it comes to meals. It's watching me cook? Yeah. I'm just good at being in the kitchen providing commentary Uh-huh. And chatting.
I'll just stay out of the way. Absolutely. I'll be in the corner, but I'm there to just not even supervise. I'm not there to supervise. If something goes wrong, I'm not gonna know how to fix it.
I'm just gonna be in there watching the cooking taste. Doing the dishes. Here's the thing some smells. Sometimes, about when you do the dishes. Because you like to, keep the the kitchen kinda cleaned up as you work.
Yeah. And I'm more of a like, I keep it organized. I throw all the trash and food scraps and stuff away as I'm cooking. But all my utensils, I like to put into a big bowl, and then I just deal with them at the end. Yeah.
Because sometimes I might need that spatula again or I'm not done with that knife. And I there have been times where I'm in the middle of cooking and I have stuff on 2 different parts of the counter, and I turn around, and everything's gone. And I go, where'd all that go? And you're like, I put it in the dishwasher, and I'm like, I wasn't done. So now I got 30 more dishes.
Now it's once it's in the dishwasher, it's gone. Yeah. Don't get it right now. Unless it's like a pizza cutter. I gotta wash that because I only have 1.
You know? You know? We need more than 1 pizza cutter, I think. Do we? Maybe.
I don't think we do. I think one is plenty, especially since that But what about 2? No. But that utensil drawer is already overflowing. So if we have 2 pizza cutters in there, that's gonna be crazy.
Gotta be there we need another drawer for utensils that only get used so often. Well, I was thinking about this the other day. There's a lot of utensils in there that we don't use. So I need to go through it. Meat tenderizer.
Yeah. Don't need it. But sometimes we do. Well, then I'll put it away in a different location. Yeah.
I rarely used utensils are the only say. That's what I just said. I know. Those clothings for pulling, chicken and pork and stuff apart. I don't use those very often.
Oh, it'd be nice if we had a rarely used utensil drawer. That's a brilliant idea. Somebody should have thought of that. I did. I thought of it.
It's my idea. Shaking my head. Would you rather this or that? What a Wednesday. You know?
Mhmm. Got to hang out with you. That was great. That was great. So thanks for hanging out.
