Classy 97. It's Josh and Chantel. It's Tuesday. Good morning. So it's not Monday.
Monday's gone. Yeah. I know. Monday's done. 4 day 4 day week.
4 day work week. Fast. Is it? Love it. Yeah.
Okay. And then we're all gonna have this 4 day work week, and then we're all gonna say, why are we working 5 days a week? When we could just work 4. Just work 4. You're right.
I'm telling you. I know. I feel it. I I like where your head's at, unfortunately. We're not in charge.
Get through that 4 day week, and we go, oh, a 5 day week? Okay. I know. Telephone Tuesday. What's telephone Tuesday?
Let's find out because I don't know. It's the day after Labor Day. It can be a busy time following such a fun end of summer holiday weekend. There is so much to do and so many calls to make on this day that it's been dubbed telephone Tuesday. Oh.
So make some calls, receive some calls. It's the busiest one of the busiest phone call days of the year. Really? Yeah. Oh, I don't want to.
It's telephone Tuesday. I don't want to. Well, it's telephone Tuesday. It is bowling league day in the US. Yeah.
I used to be on a bowling league. I know. And tell me more about it. I don't have much more to say. Alright.
It was when I was younger, and, I think my highest score was 1 30 something. Oh, okay. So that's pretty good. I mean, you know, sure. It's triple digits.
Triple digits? What is okay. Was there what's the meaning behind that? It's over a 100. Oh.
It's triple digits. I thought you were just moving on with the days. No. I'm saying your bowling score was 3 digits. I know.
That's a big deal. I haven't been able to get that score since then. Mhmm. Mhmm. It's because you were practicing regularly.
No. And working to improve. No. I wasn't. Oh, okay.
Alright. I wasn't. I was just not. Today is National Another Look Unlimited Day. We've talked about this one about a year ago Exactly.
The idea here is that before you take those boxes and bags to the dump or the donation center, that you take another look and make sure you're ready to let go all those memories and moments. Take Another Look Unlimited Day. Okay. Take another look. Merchant Navy Day, National Skyscraper Day, and it is also National Welsh Rarebit Day.
What? It's cheese and ale sauce on top of toast. It's called Welsh Rarebit. Gross. That sounds horrible.
Alright. Or maybe you could celebrate today with your Welsh rare bit No. I don't want to. While you're answering your phone calls. Yeah.
No. Thanks. Okay. Well, that's what's going on. Happy 4 day week.
Yeah. Boot. Football season is coming up soon. Yes. Thursday.
There's this Thursday? Yeah. This Thursday. So we gotta make sure we got our fantasy roster set. You got everything in order by Thursday.
Okay. Do you know who is the coach of the Kansas City Chiefs? Well, I yeah. Reid. Right?
Yeah. Andy Reid. And the mustache. Yep. Mostly.
It's mostly the mustache. It's sorta like a ratatouille situation. What? Where the rat controls the chef, except in this in this, instance, the mustache controls Andy Reid. Okay.
If he ever shaved it off, you'd see. Okay. He'd he wouldn't be the coach. No. He wouldn't.
It's the mustache, the coaches. He might need to step aside. No. There's a new mustache in town? Not necessarily a mustache, but she is a tall person.
Okay. Okay. Move aside, Andy Reid. There's a tall person here. What what's up?
What's going on? They're saying that Taylor Swift No. You know, she's dating Travis Kelsey on the Jeeps. Yeah. I don't know if you'd heard.
All I heard that she has been more and more involved in in football, and she's really interested, and she asks a lot of questions. And she started drawing up some plays. Okay. So they're really considering putting in some of her plays. Well, this is all according to Patrick Mahomes.
I don't know how true any of this is. Okay. This sounds like Patrick Mahomes wants more attention, is what it sounds like to me. Yeah. He's like.
He's like, oh, maybe my name drop. Travis is getting so much attention. Yeah. Ugh. Yeah.
I'm not dating anybody famous. Was, like, married to somebody who used to be an athlete and is now a controversial person. But that's not no. No. It's none of my business.
So, anyway, so I really feel like he's like, I gotta I've gotta tie myself to her because that's where the popularity is. So I need to I need to say her name. How can I work her into conversation? I know. She's right she's making a bunch of changes.
My arm. I got Taylor Swift notes in there. I don't think I don't even if she is writing a place, do you think that the coaches because there's multiple coaches in there. There's the head coach, and then there's the individual coaches. Yep.
Right? Sure. There's the Yeah. Wide receiver coach and the running back coach and all of that. Right.
Do you think any of them would be like, oh, yeah. That looks like a pretty good play. Let's put that in. Maybe. I don't know.
No history in football. Let's see what She's asking a lot of questions, though. And look, that's how you'd you gotta find out about it. You gotta think about it. You gotta ponder.
You gotta write some stuff down. It's the same as songwriting, except it's Except it's play development. Not the same. Not the same. She she is definitely a person who I think could take a vision and make it a reality.
Meaning, she can take the idea for a world tour that goes through all the different eras of her entire musical life and turn that into A play? A very long concert that costs $1,000 and more a ticket. Yeah. She can see that final product and go, here's what I want, and let's make it happen. So there is potential she could see a bunch of Travis Kelce plays that would get him more points in the end zone.
There you go. That's what it is, isn't it? And then yes. You're not getting enough plays. Right.
Let me write some plays. Let me make some plays. I'm gonna ask, how do we get you the ball more? These are the questions she's asking. And he's on my fantasy team, so I don't care.
You're a jerk. So make all the plays you want, Taylor. Let him try them. Yeah. Because if if Travis gets more points, I get more points.
I'm good with this. No way, dude. Yeah. I hope you lose in fantasy. I hope so.
That is so rude. Right? I don't think so. I gotta win. I don't wanna win.
Okay. Good luck to you. Thursday, I'm not playing against you this week. I'm playing against our daughter. So Prepare to be beaten though when we do play.
Okay. I'll be prepared. Do you feel like you're a hardcore gamer? I don't necessarily feel like I'm a hardcore gamer. No.
Do I like video games? Yes. Do I, sometimes get lost in them and spend an unaccounted for amount of time playing them? Yes. That was my next question.
Do you often find yourself playing a video game and then going, I'm so hungry. I need a snack, but I can't stop playing. I'm in the middle of this very intense mission. I guess it would depend on constantly stop. I don't know that I would get to the point where I was like, I'm starving to death.
Like, I have not done that. And I've played video games extensively when I was competing and playing in LAN parties and doing, like LAN parties? You gotta explain that to people. No. I don't.
Okay. No. I don't. If you know, you know. If you don't, it's a bunch of Yeah.
If you don't. Yeah. Sitting around playing video games together. It is fine if you don't know. But we would be we would prepare ahead of time.
So there would be pizza ordered or there would be, you know, a Taco Bell run or there would be snacks and sodas and stuff. Available, but you can't necessarily stop to play is what I'm saying. Stop playing to eat? Yeah. That's what I meant.
Yeah. You can. Okay. Well, according to some people, you can't. No.
You you can. Okay. But let me tell you what's happening. Did you know they have an Esports World Cup? Yes.
Okay. I did not. Yes. Esports is humongous. It's now in high schools.
There are, full on, collegiate teams, and they are, getting into gaming the same way they get into every other sport. They are recruiting players to get scholarships, to attend their colleges, to compete in esports. It's humongous. Okay. I yes.
I know that now, but I did not know they had a World Cup, a Esports World Cup. Yes. So at the most recent Esports World Cup, they there was a company that debuted a robot that will feed gamers snacks. No. That that we don't feed.
The Humham. Humham. Humham. And basically some Cheetos, Humham. You do, it has a mechanical hand that will dip snacks if you need to dip and then sauce?
Yeah. And then feed the gamers while they continue on with their game. You can activate the machine by using pedals. Although, this is just a first draft, so future versions of the they want to be controlled by voice commands and face recognition. So you could say, feed me a snack.
Yeah. And a lot of people are like, this can't be real. No. It's real, bitch. I'm not surprised it's real, but it's it's real lazy.
I know. Like, you should be able to feed yourself. Put pause on your game. It depends on the game you're playing. If you're if you're in, you know, a a battle game where you're against another player, some of those battles can take time.
But I've never played so long that I couldn't step away to use a restaurant. Oh, it's Heinz. Heinz is the company behind this. There you go. It's the sauce people.
It is the sauce people. The sauce? That's why it's it's made to dip in sauces. And okay. So it's got a little robotic arm, and on the end of the robotic arm is a fork.
So we'll pick up a snack, and there's 2 dipping cups in this robot Yeah. Mechan mechanism. Yeah. This is dip and then feed. I'm worried about This is a marketing thing.
The robotic fork. It's gonna stab people. It's not going to, it's not gonna take off. This is so this is a fluke thing to promote ketchup, which we all know is disgusting. I kinda want one, though.
No. You don't. Yeah. I do. No.
Yeah. No. And I'll tell you why. Gamer, but I'm gonna tell you why you don't want it. Because it's too bad.
Appropriate amount of sauce, and you're gonna go, I should've just done this myself anyway. Yeah. You're right. So no. You don't.
Or it'll malfunction, and then it's just gonna start flinging sauce everywhere because Or it just starts getting real stabby. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Nobody needs a stabby robot with sauce on it.
You still have to it still has to find its way to your mouth. Bad idea. I agree. It's not gonna take off. That's that's a that's a one off.
The name isn't that great. Yeah. The sauce robot. Sounds boring. Yawn.
Well, good news to get you going today is a local story, and I always like it when local stories come up. I didn't have to go digging for this one because this one's getting some national attention, which I think is kinda special as well. The new school year here as we know. The new And Okay. The new school year Yeah.
Is here Yes. As we know Yes. Is what I'm trying to say? Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Are you following? Yes. Okay. And a lot of families struggle to afford the necessary supplies to send their kids back to school.
Yeah. And so there is a group, a charity group in Idaho Falls called Friends in Service Here or FISH, and they've been, stepping up for over 20 years Oh, wow. Providing, backpacks filled with school supplies to students in need. That's great. Isn't this awesome?
Yes. It's been going on for a long time. Last year, they delivered 576 backpacks. The year before, they did 736 backpacks. Uh-huh.
Members of the group, they're diligent throughout the year. So here's how they keep their costs low. They spend about $60 per backpack. That's the backpack and all the supplies. But throughout the entire year, they keep their eyes open for clearance deals, sales.
They collect some donations, different things like that, to stock up for with all these supplies so that they can stuff all these backpacks and deliver them, out to, the community, which is cool. That is great. So last year, they spent $73100 on school supplies. Retail value, $34,000. Wow.
So that because the way they do it and the way they keep their eyes open all year for clearances and sales and stuff, they don't have to, they don't have to struggle as much, you know, to spend the money to to do what they do. This year's donation, is in the works. They were working with a bunch of different retired teachers, that make donation stuff, which adds kind of a special touch to their mission. Yeah. I think that's really cool.
They try to do it all anonymously, which I think is great. That is cool. Because, you know, you don't want to sort of feel as a, you know, as a kid, you don't feel that pressure. Yeah. It's good to just be able to say, yeah.
I'm ready to go. I'm ready to go learn. I'm here. I'm ready for school. Let's do this.
So that's really cool. And I like that they're doing that. And they're getting national recognition, all across the all across the country, for what they're doing today, which I think is really, really cool. So I remember the acronym FISH, but I don't tell me what it stands for. Friends in service here.
Oh. Yep. I love it. Yep. Very cool.
They are part of the community food basket in Idaho Falls, which is Oh. Really cool as well. So they're all kinda tied together Yeah. As an organization, which I think is great. So, anyway, if you're looking for somebody to support, there's a cool one.
And they're good news to get you going. Fantastic. We are back from the long Labor Day weekend. Yes. We are.
It was awesome having a long weekend. I loved it. Well, I don't know why you're so sing songy. Because I was just reiterating how much I loved the long weekend. Yeah.
And now we're back in the studio, and, we're here. And, over the weekend, the kind of the the whole thing about being, off on Friday and, and then spending the whole weekend in Utah for us was, because of a couple of different things, but one of those things was, a thing our son has fallen in love with, and I finally got to be a part of it. Last year, he went, with with some family. I was backpacking in Yellowstone, so I wasn't able to go at the same time. Anyway, went to Formula Drift, which is, quite the spectacle.
If you have no idea what Formula Drift is, this is, 2 very high performance, vehicles that are designed to, slide on the track sideways, making a ton of smoke from their burning tires very fast. It's very loud. It's, it's a lot of people. It's incredibly hot. It sounds like a miserable dog.
It does sound so miserable. Awesome. It was very, very cool. And so for 2 days on Friday Saturday, Beck and I were at FD as it's abbreviated, Formula DRIFT, and it was, incredibly hot. 2nd day was hotter than Saturday was hotter than Friday.
Really? Friday was hot, and we were sitting in the sun, and we realized very quickly the people that had brought sun umbrellas were smart. Oh, look at those guys. And so we went and, purchased some sun umbrellas because that was a necessary thing. So now I have a really nice sun umbrella for any You'll pride never use again.
Right? Absolutely. At least next year, But at the very least next year but anytime I'm out in the sun, it's a great thing. It is. Shade is always good.
Yeah. I have portable shade now. Did you have to hold it the whole time? Yeah. Oh, you should have jimmy rigged it to your I thought about it.
I I tried using the, chair bag to kinda wrap around and prop it there. Yeah. The problem is, that the sun moves, and it sometimes, it's, like, in your face. And so you have to have the umbrella where the sun is. My question is because these cars drift around the corner Yeah.
They create so much smoke Yeah. That you can't even see the cars. You guys were showing me some videos, and I was like, I can't even see what they're doing because there's so much smoke. How how is that enjoyable? You can see them.
The runs themselves from from when they launch to when they cross the finish line, we're talking about 60 seconds, like, each run. Like Okay. They they're very fast. But then, also, if you've seen one, you've like, okay. I'm done.
I'm gonna leave now. No. It's it's not like every single one's the same. It's different competitors. Oh, but I feel like it's gonna be the same.
It's not. It's not the same. It's very good. I'm glad that you guys have that in common because that's not for me. Okay.
That's fine. What were you gonna say? I was gonna say we had, decided to grab some lunch on Friday, and they had some food trucks around. Of all the foods to eat on a hot day, what do you think we picked? A corn dog?
No. They did have those. I don't know. I don't know what else it would be. Buffalo wings.
Oh, no. We picked a big old tray of spicy hot buffalo wings in a place where we didn't have access to a lot of water, but we needed a lot of water. And they were really hot. And so you're already sweating, and then you decide to put spicy food inside, and then you're sweating inside. Probably not the best idea.
It was not the best idea. My lips are all chapped and and hot from it. Still? Still. I they're probably sunburned, to be fair.
But, anyway, it was that was pretty good. There was an autograph session on Friday where all of the drivers go into this big garage, and they just have, like, a line of tables. And we thought we were in a pretty good position in line. Turns out, no. We were not.
Beck was grabbing the last of the autograph papers that some of the drivers had left because they had to leave and go get in their cars to get ready to race again. Uh-huh. And so we thought we were doing pretty good, but we ended up getting the last of some things, which was which was hard. But then, on Saturday, we did get to meet up on with some of the drivers that we had missed and pick up some of those autographs, which was good. Nice.
And got some photos, which was awesome. So that was cool. We did make it into a YouTube video of one of his favorite drivers, which is very cool for you saw it how long? I I didn't even see you. Two frames.
Two frames. We're there. You had to take a screenshot of the video to show me. It's very fast. I can't I had to watch it three times.
I still didn't see you. But we're famous on YouTube. Congratulations. Everybody can go watch, and you can see it. Standing in line waiting for the autograph session.
Yeah. But overall You can't really see them. It was it was really good. It was a lot of fun. I'm glad I got to go.
You asked me last night if I was a super mega fan now. I don't know that that's the case, but I sure have a new appreciation for it that I didn't before. Seeing it in person changes the whole game. Okay. That's true about a lot of things, though.
It's very good. It's a lot of fun. You'll you'll have to come sweat it out with us. No. I don't think so.
That's not for me. I'm sitting in the sun No. For all day. No. It's okay.
You you guys have that. You guys do that. It's a father son thing Okay. For sure. We'll get you to come next time.
No. It's okay. Just father son time. Okay. I was told over the weekend, as Emery and I were driving down to Utah Mhmm.
That she, out of all of the 3 drivers in our house, she feels the most comfortable driving with me. Really? Uh-huh. Isn't that something? Isn't that something?
So why? Because I'm probably the safest. I don't know that it's your the safest. What do you think it is? I think she had the most enjoyable time because of the music involved.
We had just begun the journey. We had just begun the journey. Stop at the gas station and get little treats? No. Are you sure?
I'm sure. Are you sure? I am positive. Did you bribe her with treats? We had gone to the store.
Yeah. Like, not the gas station. Right. You oh, you went and got real snacks. So you had you had plenty of snacks.
You had music. You had a a fun jovial time. No. She told me that Beck is sometimes a little bit scary. K.
And she says that sometimes you get a little bit distracted. Mhmm. So you kinda forget where you're going sometimes. That's because I'm talking and having conversation Uh-huh. With you usually.
With her, I know exactly where I'm going because there's not a lot of conversation. Oh. Yeah. So that's why. She's like, I'm not gonna drive with dad.
He doesn't talk to me. No. Let's let's figure this out. Who's not doing the talking? She's offering up information to you like, this is a good drive.
This is the best drive I've ever had. This is my favorite drive. Snacks, drinks, music Yes. Conversation. When I pick up her school to bring her home, I go to the school, I go to the home.
That's the drive. Well, it's never been like, hey. You and me, let's hit the road. Well, then maybe you guys should take a road trip together. But then I'll dethrone you, and then you're gonna be upset.
You're not gonna dethrone me because you do most of the driving to Utah anyway. Yeah. But not not just the 2 of us. No. But still And I'm also gonna bring new soft blanket.
I'm gonna I'm gonna throw in, and and I might bring in car pillow. Car pillow and new cozy blanket plus Bribery. Yeah. That's that's the way you got the credit. That's a lie.
She feels the most safe with me Prove it. Driving because I'm a better driver than the rest of me. What? That's what she said. She didn't say that.
I made that part up. But it was Uh-huh. Uh-huh. I see. How's it feel to be bottom rung?
Wow. You're not bottom rung. I think Beck is bottom rung. There's You're middle rung. We're all same rung.
No way, dude. Yeah. It's a it's a it's a 3 part single rung, all all ladder, one rung. I'm the best driver in our house. Alright.
According to one human being who was bribed with snacks and drinks. Bribed. We weren't even eating snacks at the time that she said that. No. But she knew they were there.
You had taken care of all the needs. As a parent does. Yeah. No. I get that for a road trip.
I don't have snacks and phone chargers and soft blankets and car pillows to pick you up from school. No. Sorry. When I'm running you to and from places From activity. Yeah.
It's a different kind of drive. Right. Maybe she needs a snack when you pick her up from school. She probably does. Give her a snack.
Not trying to go for that title. You can have it. I'll have it. I don't even want it. I think you kinda want it.
I don't even want it. I think you kinda do. Now you can have it. Hey. This is gonna be a hot take.
Oh, we got a hot take. That's a hot take. K. What's Chantel's hot take? The hot take is that In N Out is overrated.
Oh, okay. I dare you to convince me otherwise. I think it's gross. And everybody who says they go crazy for it is lying because it is gross. And you yourself used to agree with me.
Until I figured out how to order it. Right? And that's not the right way. Yeah. You order it animal style or whatever, and you said order it animal style.
So we ate there much to my disappointment. Yeah. And then you said, try it this way. You're gonna like it. And I did.
And guess what? It's still gross. The only thing that In N Out has going for it is that it's super inexpensive. That is it. It's budget friendly.
It's good food. It tastes terrible. It's a good burger. It's not. It's a good burger.
It's not. It's fresh made fries. It it's gross. They're they're they're putting the potatoes in the thing, fresh peeled, slapping that thing down. No.
You can get a pile of onions if that's your thing. People wait in line for that place, and it's not line worthy. It's not. I enjoy it. I don't know what to tell you.
That place to eat. Never. It'll never be my choice. It'll never you'll never be Nope. The person in the car when we say, where do you wanna eat that says, hey.
Let's take a road trip because there's not even one close by Good. And get a get In N Out. I'll never say that. We had it, what? I don't know.
Friday night. Night. Something like that. And you were still unimpressed. Yes.
And I ate it the way that everybody told me to eat it. Yeah. It's still gross. It's gross. Maybe there's another way.
There are many other ways to order your food. Maybe animal style is not your way. Maybe you need to find your way. No. I'll just not my way is not to eat it In N Out.
That's my way. Alright. It's overrated. Into it. No.
I'm into it. I like it. I think it's tasty. Good for you and everyone else. You're all wrong.
No. I don't know about that. You are. I think maybe you're the, minority here. It's fine.
I'll be the minority. I think everybody's just bandwagoners. In and out bandwagon. Yeah. There's, like, 10 people that are like, no.
It's so good. And then nobody wants to disagree, so they're like, you're right. It is so good. That's a pretty powerful ten people that everybody else is just trying to impress. Who are those 10 people that everybody else is like, I could never go against the grain with those 10 people?
I think maybe they're you're look. Let me let me back back up. Go. You can like or dislike it. That's up to you.
Yeah. It's your taste buds. Yeah. But you should like it. No.
I won't because it's gross. Everybody else is wrong. No. I don't think so. I'm the right one.
I mean, you're right for you, but you're wrong about this. No. I'm not. I'm not. It's gross.
Except it's pretty good. It's not. It's basic. That's it. Basic, and that's what's great about it.
No. It's very basic. It's cost effective, very basic, good burger. Basic, cost effective, basic burger. Yeah.
And? And it's delicious. No. It's no. No.
I'm pretty sure it's delicious. Chantel, I had a scary dream this morning. Oh, no, gosh. What had happened, is I got up early. It was, like, 3 something, and I was like, sweet.
I still have time. I'm gonna try to fall back asleep. And anytime I'm in that position, there is this, ability to dream, and it's when I'm half awake, half asleep. It feels weird. I don't I don't care for it.
Okay. And I don't know where we were, but I had parked the truck kind of on this really cool kinda pride rock looking mountain area. And I was like, I gotta get some pictures of that. That's great. I will never understand those men and their cars.
It was it was a pretty cool parking spot, and I was it was a little elevated. And I thought, man, that's really neat. And we got out. We were exploring some trail, and I turned and I looked back at the truck. And I saw something out of the corner of my eye run by.
And I thought, what was that? And then I realized it was a bear. There was a bear that was like approaching, and you and the kids were kind of away from me because I was taking pictures of the truck, and you guys were headed down to, like, look at the waters. You were like, get out of my photo. No.
You guys are like, we'll just walk down the trail. I wanna take a picture of my truck. I don't want my family in there. Yeah. And then, the bear was there, and I started doing that like, hey, bear.
Hey. You know, I'm looking big, trying to scare the bear. Right. And I finally and he was, like, not having it. And he was getting close, but he was posturing.
He wasn't trying to really attack. He was just trying to, like, show me that I was in his zone. He's trying to one up you. Yeah. So I was like, alright.
So I'm backing away slowly, like, you do, giving the bear a space, making sure to be calm, you know, all that. And he kinda, like, realizes that he's gonna go away from people because they don't wanna be by people, so he scutters off. Runs away. K. And then off in the distance over to the left, I see another bigger bear, and he's, like, not having this I don't wanna be by humans thing.
And he's like, you gave up? No. I'm going to get this guy, and then I woke up. Oh, no. I don't like it.
It was one of those ones that, like, you remember in detail, like, I can see the color of the bear and everything. And it's one of those ones where I feel like later in life, I'm gonna have a deja vu moment where I'm gonna go, oh, this is where I see the bears. This is where I run into the 2 bears, and I had that dream. You ever have that? I have that.
I I guess I haven't. I don't like it, but I have that. And now I'm afraid I'm gonna run into 2 bears. You're no. I think you'll be okay.
You'll be alright. You'll be alright, buddy. Okay. If I find that place to park my truck, I'm gonna immediately know. I'm gonna go, not not here.
Not here. This is where the bears are at. Is bear country. Yeah. So if I ever park on something that's kinda pride look pride rock looking and you're like, hey.
Didn't you tell me something about this rock? And I'm gonna go, no. What? When? And you're gonna go, no.
I'm pretty sure something happened here. Just don't don't give in. Let me let me not park there and get out and take pictures. Yeah. Pictures somewhere else.
Let's not stop here. There's bears here or something. Something bad happened here in a dream. Keep driving. Mhmm.
You don't need pictures of your truck anyway. Right. Well, I have to back up because the road didn't kinda go past the end of the rock. I'd go over the cliff. So I'd have to back up, but that's fine.
We'll keep moving. K. No pictures of your truck needed. Right. Correct.
Just don't do that. Because that's where the bears are. Just you don't need pictures of your truck at all, period. It's okay. Do you wanna see some pictures of my truck?
Sure don't. Oh, okay. So when you're on vacation Yeah. Or just out of town Yes. Staying in a hotel or staying in Airbnb, you don't have your regular TV.
This is this is true. You have what we call vacation TV. Yeah. I saw a a kid call it vacation TV, and I thought this is the greatest explanation of regular cable TV. Because at home, it's streaming services.
It's on demand. It's, you know, Chromecast or AirPlay or whatever you have to to watch what you want, when you want, most of it, if not all of it, commercial free. And so when you go to stay in a hotel and you use the remote and you have regular cable TV, kids started calling it vacation TV. But it's the best explanation for it. It's the perfect explanation for it.
Vacation TV. So we had, an experience at the Airbnb over the weekend. Vacation TV? Where vacation TV is all we had, and you found And it's stuff that you're not typically gonna pick because it's all that you have on. But I started watching a show called parking wars.
Right. Which takes place in Philadelphia, in Pennsylvania, and, it's all about, like, meter maids and, and parking enforcement officials Yeah. That have to go out and, and tow cars and put boots on cars and give people tickets for expired meters. Awful job. Yeah.
I don't know why anybody would want to do that job because all you'll do is get yelled at. People were coming out, yelling at these poor little parking assistants for ticketing their cars for stuff that they're doing incorrectly. You're not following the law. The first episode aired in January of 2008. The final episode aired December of 2012.
So it ran for, like, 4 years. And, you could watch this show I loved it. Nonstop. I loved it. You loved the drama of it.
You loved the people running out angry that they're getting a ticket. Some people were understanding. They're like, yeah. I goofed. I did I parked in the no parking zone.
I get it. Thanks for my ticket. Lots of other people were like, I didn't do anything wrong. And they're like, bro, you've got, like, 8 unpaid parking tickets. Yeah.
This is why we're booting your car. Right. Well, it's not my fault. It's not my fault. Again, not you haven't paid your tickets.
It is your fault. Go pay and then there are people that are like, don't tow it. I'll call them right now. And they're like, we need $1500 or else your car is going to be impounded. And they go, $1500?
Like, yeah. Because you have 8 tickets. It's totaled up to 1500. If you would have taken care of it the first time, you wouldn't owe $1500. There was one guy who keeps parking in the wrong spot in front of his house, and he's like, I'm gonna park in front of my house.
Tow it away. I'm gonna go get it. It'll be here tomorrow because this is in front of my house, and I'm going to park in front of my house. This is the city's problem, not mine. There was It's crazy.
One woman I saw where they were actually, like, towing her car. Her her car was on the tow truck. Yep. And she goes, hang on. Hang on.
Hang on. I'm gonna go get some money. I'll go get it. I'll get you paid. I got you.
And then she just went and got in her car, and she's like, if you're towin' my car, you're gonna tow me. I was never gonna go get my money. And they're like, ma'am, please get out of your car. Then now we have to get the police involved. Like, this is a whole thing.
I loved it. You you do love Parking Wars. I see. You could watch it every day. I did while on vacation.
On vacation TV. But then you got sad because it wasn't on every time you went to watch vacation TV. It was not on the last night. I know. You had to watch a different show.
Watch something else. I was like, where's parking wars? What was the other show you watched? Oh, some dumb. I don't even wanna say that loud.
DMV Battles? Part of the weekend excursions this weekend was doing something. But The week part of the weekend excursions this weekend. Yeah. Weekend.
The weekend. The weekend. Was going to something that I've been waiting for since Christmas Yes. When I bought these tickets Right. Is to go see Hamilton.
Right. Now, is it this upcoming weekend is closing? No. It was this weekend we were at. Weekend.
So you saw the second to last show Yes. Of of this run of Hamilton. Touring company. Yes. Yep.
And I didn't get to go, which I'm bummed out about, but you did, you and Emery and your mom. And how was the show? It was amazing. Amazing. Everything I expected.
I mean, everything I wanted it to be. Yes. So let's let's rewind time here. Yeah. 2020, Disney plus says, hey.
You're all stuck at home. Let's give you something to watch. Here's Hamilton. That's 4 years ago Yeah. That they said, hey, let's let's see this.
And you fell in love with it watching I mean, that's the original Broadway cast. It it what a great production. Unreal. Yes. And you are like, now I'm obsessed.
I'm obsessed. And then you listen to the soundtrack. The soundtrack is not from the same cast or the same it's the same cast, but different recording. It's not the same as what's on Disney plus. Correct.
So you hear little differences in the soundtrack, and you're like, I I can discern one or the other I like better than the other. Then you go see it live. Yes. Of all the 3 iterations between the Disney plus thing, the soundtrack, and seeing it live, do you have favorites favorite pieces? Can you say one of the 3 is your favorite?
Where are you at on on the, on the I think I like the soundtrack the best. Probably just because I listen to that one the most. Okay. Did you listen to the soundtrack before you saw it? Yeah.
We listened Emery and I listened to it, but I'm sorry. Before you saw it on Disney Plus. So you saw it first, then went soundtrack, now the actual performance. Okay. My mom is a huge fan of the movie Right.
And the soundtrack Okay. And the original cast. And she was disappointed that the live production did not sound like her the soundtrack. And I think, well, they're different people. Right.
And she said, well, I know that, but they didn't need to change it. They do. I go, they have they have to do it because there's different vocal registers. Sure. It's different people.
It's a different human being. She wanted, like, the She wanted original cast. And I said, I sorry. Yeah. They're not they're not in those productions anymore.
You don't get to see that. I'm sorry. I didn't have enough money to take us To New York prior to 2020 to see the original cast in New York. Right. Sorry, mom.
Yeah. And then she was disappointed Lin Manuel Miranda wasn't there. She was disappointed. Well I was not. Okay.
I knew that there was gonna be different people. Well, I know you knew. All in all, though, a good experience Yes. Really cool. How and the theater, I've never, you know, I've seen pictures, but how was the theater?
Was it was it nice? It was great. Cool. Yeah. It was beautiful.
Fantastic. We took an Uber. It was my mom's first time in an Uber, so she was big deal. Nervous about that. She had quite the weekend.
First time at an Airbnb, first time at an Uber. She didn't know what to do with herself. Know what to do with herself. She said, I don't even have any tickets. I said, I've got them all on my phone, and she was But what about a physical ticket?
She was fit to be tied. I don't know what that means, but, yes, she was. And, now Christmas executed, now we can start shopping again. Is that how that works? Sounds like it.
Alright. Another show or something totally different? No. No. No.
We'll see. Alright. I say some things sometimes, and the family doesn't know how to deal with it. We were having dinner on, I don't know, Saturday night or something, and I, said out loud to the waitress, because I'd been out in the sun all day, that I was very thirsty and I would like a water, and it would probably be smart for her to bring a pitcher to the table so that I didn't have to have her refill it as often as I was going to need it refilled because, and I quote what I said, I am thirsty as all get out. Which what does that even mean, Josh?
Well, fortunately, our son decided to look that up. And he said, the definition was something to the effect of, like, to the maximum. Like, all in. Like, it is all get out. All get out.
Yeah. It's to the max. Yeah. All get out, define I'll get out. It says, an an informal American idiom that means very or extremely, often used in comparison to suggest something is superlative.
For example, you might say the cafe was as busy as all get out this afternoon. I was as thirsty as all get out, and I said it. And the kids went, how old are you? Are you 900 years old? You are 900 years old.
Even our waitress who was on the young side Yeah. She was probably 20. I don't know what that means. She just laughed. Because the kids were like, this old man, who's this guy down at the other end of the table?
400 years old. Me. And I, was very pleased that she did indeed bring a pitcher, and I probably had 4 or 5 blasts of water sitting there. Absolutely. You were thirsty as all get out.
I was thirsty as all get out. Buddy. I had, consumed, probably 4 or 5 water bottles throughout the day sitting out in the 100 degree Utah desert at the racetrack. And so well, yeah. By the time we got to to dinner, I was thirsty as all get out.
You were thirsty as all get out. And so I, I slammed back some water. Get out. No. I won't.
I refuse. And I stand by what I said. It's not weird. It was used in the proper context, and, it is exactly how I felt. Matter of fact, I'm feeling a little parched now.
I might, go grab some beverage. I need some water. Are you thirsty as all get out or just a minimum thirsty? I'm thirsty as some get out. Some get out.
Yeah. No. I'm as thirsty as some get out. Yeah. Just a little.
Just a few of you get out. I'm as thirsty as a few get out. We had a go ahead. What were you gonna say? No.
I just was gonna complain because I feel like I was a little bit cramped last night versus the past couple of nights. And you're feeling like not the same about it, I think. No. I'm not. So go ahead.
You go ahead. The room we stayed in at the Airbnb had a king-size bed. And we've talked about this before because when we go to hotels, just you and I or whatever, we we get the king-size room because it's a bigger bed. It's nice. And, we don't have room for a king-size bed in our house.
We do. I would just have to sacrifice my nightstand. Yeah. It would take up our whole room. I know.
We have this 1972 home, and all the rooms are just little 10 by 10 rooms. So, we could knock out a wall or build an addition or just, just get rid of the next stand. Queen-size bed. Alright. So we have a queen-size bed that fills the room as it is.
Yeah. This is a nice bed. Yeah. It's fine. It's our bed.
Fine. I know. We've I felt really cramped last night. I didn't. What did you feel?
I felt fine. Okay. I felt, like, in the king-size bed, you were so far away, I couldn't even find you. Then we go outside on the deck in the morning Yeah. At the Airbnb, and you sit clear on the other side of the deck.
And I said It wasn't just you and I out there. No. It was other people. I said, oh, now you're so far away in the bed that we share, and now you're so far away on the deck. Yeah.
So cool. We live a king-size life now where we just search a bunch of space in between? In between us. I see. I see.
It's a king-size life. It is a king-size life. I mean, right now, we've got all this equipment, and there's computer monitors Yeah. And microphones and all this stuff between us. Fine.
But you feel fine about that at work, which is good. And then, here's the deal. I felt like I had more control over the blankets and my own temperature in a king-size bed Oh. Than I do in I felt like I was cramped and and hot. Like, it was there was too much I don't know what it was going on in the queen-size bed versus the king-size bed.
I don't know the difference, but I felt like I was more capable of, like and, I did start, in the, you know, the cup like, 2nd night or whatever in the king-size bed. I started in the middle closer to you. You stayed on your edge. Yeah. That's where I sleep.
Right. My side. That's my edge. If I'm also on my edge, that's not my fault. Like, I started closer, and I was like, alright.
Good night. And then I fell asleep. I woke up over on my edge with my one leg out of the blanket like I like Okay. Because it controls the temperature. Yeah.
That's how I like it too on my edge. Yeah. Well, there you go. So there's just the the edge is where it's at. Yeah.
And the more space in between was just more blanket that you ended up using. I know I didn't. Yeah. You did, but that's fine. It I had still had plenty because there's so much more blanket.
Mhmm. Maybe we just need to get a king-size, duvet situation on the bed so that you can have more of it to to experience. And I'll just use the same amount as always, but you'll just have more room to have all the rest. To sprawl? Yeah.
I don't want to. There's just a lot of bed. It is a lot of bed. It's comfortable. It's nice.
You and the the pillows were, like, real wide because they have to fill all that space. Did you like that? No. Oh, okay. You don't like our king-size life?
No. I don't. It's too far away. Okay. K.
Stay with our queen-size life, I guess. We do. We're forced to because our house is small. Unless we turn it the other way. Is the room bigger the other way?
No. It's the same. Are you sure? I don't know. Now we might have to measure.
Oh. King-size bed. We were out of town this weekend. Yeah. And we had your mom come over and check on our dog.
Luna, the wonder dog. And you texted her last night and said, hey. Thank you so much. Again, we appreciate it. Thank you so much.
And then you go to take the dog outside, and you see 2 garbage bags. Right. And I had before I left, I mowed the backyard, but I was trying to, it was a little out of hand. It's been a minute. And so I left the, little grass flap open, and it just blew everywhere.
And so I had started to rake it all up, but it was getting late, and I was I was tired, and I didn't wanna deal with it, and I had other things to do. And so I just left the the grass clippings in a pile, and I was like, you know what? I'm gonna I'm going out of town. I'll get it when I get back. No big deal.
But my mom picked it up. She cleaned up the grass, and she put it in the bags, and I walked out. I went, no way. And so I sent her a message, and I said, thank you so much. You did not have to finish my raking project.
Like, that's really nice. And she was like, yeah. No. I was feeling my time. The dog was running around.
It's all good. I, you know, I was bored anyway, so no big deal. But then I found out that she weeded the flower beds as well. Like, she she got busy in the yard Yeah. While we were away.
Which on one hand, I go, that's amazing. I love that. On the other hand, I go, oh, now I'm feeling embarrassed because I I haven't waited for months. Yeah. So No.
It showed. Yeah. I know it did. I know it did. That's a big job.
Yeah. And the area that she weeded is not easy to weed either. It's not comfortable. It's not comfortable. There's a rock wall.
It hurts your knees. Yeah. And she did a big portion. I know. She did say another couple days, she would have the whole thing cut off.
And then I thought, wait. Let's go away again. She could weed some more. Well, the weeds are still there. So, you know, I mean, you should probably knock out the other the other portion.
I need to because it'll look amazing. You really will. She did a heck of a job. Yes. She did.
Which which is really cool. So, thanks, mom Yeah. For doing that. You didn't have to. No.
You didn't have to, but holy moly. Appreciate it. So appreciate it. Yeah. I love it.
Same time going like, sorry. Yeah. That was she probably went over there and went, oh my. And she's like, oh my god. And mopped and washed the counters and dusted the shelves in the living room too because that looked like it needed to be done.
It does. Yeah. It does need to be done. What kinda kinda home bodies are these people? You know, we can't keep a dust free home.
I said, we've just been busy. I know. I promise my house doesn't always look that terrible. It's we've just been busy, and I've put all that stuff off. Sorry about the weeds.
But also thanks. But also so thanks. Yeah. I love it. Looks so nice.
We played some pickleball over the weekend. Yeah. We did. And we've played pickleball before, but this was the first time that I've actually played by the rules of pickleball. Before, when I played it, I just made up my own rules because I didn't like the kitchen, and you have to there's you have to hit a underhand, and I was like, I don't wanna I just wanna hit the ball.
Yeah. You just wanna volley the ball back and then play by the rules. Just let me do what I wanna do. But it was also we were on an outdoor court. It was just, it was yeah.
It was just silly. It was just a silly time. We were just doing it like an we were camping. It was a whole thing. And so, yeah, it was nice to just not have structure and just mess around.
Yeah. This time, we went to an indoor facility where you pay and you go in and you actually there's other people playing the game right. We bought our own paddles. Yeah. You didn't wanna look like a fool.
No. I wanted to play for real. Alright. So I I quickly pulled up the rules on my phone, and I said, alright. Here's how it kinda works.
Let's go play. It was awesome. You had a good time. I had a great time. You and I were on a team against our children, which was, which was pretty good.
And what happened when we won? I picked you up. You did. That's true. Up like you've always wanted.
Because I You were the hero of the day. Because I had the winning You did have the winning point. Point. Yep. And you I ran over to you, and you went, pick me up.
Pick me up. Pick me up. You were very excited to be up in the air. Pick me up. Pick me up.
I was actually pretty good at pickleball. Yeah. It was a good time. I have to say well okay. Hold up.
We played we played against my sister and brother-in-law. Yeah. We played against our kids. Yeah. And then we played against my nephew and his girlfriend.
And we didn't do very well against your nephew. We did pretty good against the old people and the Yeah. 2 teenage kids. But when we played against the very athletic young adults, we didn't do so good. So what I think needs to happen is we need to we need to get in some more practice.
We need some more training. We need, you know, to work together as a team. We need a little bit more of that. And then maybe we'd feel like, hey. Let's, let's challenge somebody.
I said I I was kinda disappointed playing against my nephew because I was doing really well. And then I played against him, and I went, hey. Listen. I was good over there. I know.
But he was out for blood. He wasn't just playing cash. No. Yeah. He was he was like, I'm gonna play.
Yeah. I didn't care for that, jerk. So, you know, I guess moral of the story is that you're a pickleball princess now. I kinda like it a lot. I wanna go out and play again.
Well, there are facilities. I know. We have gear. I know. I I kinda wish that you had to wear those goggles like racquetball because that's a good look.
It is a it makes you look intense. Mhmm. We could get some sweatbands. We we we will get sweatbands. Yes.
I already have the ones for my wrist, so I can wipe the sweat from my brow Gross. When it gets past my head sweatband. I can't wait. I want tall socks with stripes on. Let's join a league.
Slow down. Let's do some practice first and see where it goes, and then think about challenging someone to see if we're any good. Let's start there. We are good. Let's start there.
Have you ever you know in cars, they have those little hooks In the back seat? Yeah. Yeah. That you're able to put, like, a hanger on and hang your clothes. Mhmm.
When was the last time you've ever used one of those, if ever? I I've used it. Usually so when I went to, get shirts and stuff and my vest and everything for prom this year, I used it then. Okay. Anytime I don't wanna, like, lay down some nice clothes and have them get wrinkled or whatever, I'll use the hook.
Okay. That's what it's for. Okay. Yeah. I know what it's for.
My my we went out and tell this weekend. My mother went with my sister and brother-in-law. They had a packed car. There were 6 of them. No.
5 of them in a truck. And they were kind of crammed already as it was, and then here comes my mom with her ironed shirts On a hang on hangers. And wants to hang them up in the hook for a weekend trip. Yeah. They said, we don't doesn't have, like, a conference meeting to go to.
She's just hanging out. She well, she just always say irons her shirts. That's what she does. She's from an age where you iron. I don't I couldn't even tell you the last time I ironed my clothes.
A shirt. I should probably do it more often, but I don't want to. Okay. So they have a dryer now. So here she goes that they're perfectly ironed start shirts.
And she goes, I got my hanger. Let's hang these up. And they go, we don't have we don't have room to hang that. Old woman? I mean, they're they're they had a loaded car.
