Full show transcript:
I
saw this question being asked online, and I think it's a good question. So I'm gonna ask you. Okay. If I work from nine to five with a one-hour lunch, why can't I take my lunch at 4 p.m. and leave an hour early? Yeah, I know. What is that a problem? And if so, why? And then people have added some comments. So I want to get your take before I read some of these.
My take is yeah, I feel like you should be able to do that. Right.
If I get done at three because I come in at six, then I should, if I work through my lunch, be able to leave at two. Correct. And not have anybody go, oh, you're checking out early.
Right. Like, no, I've put in my time. I just didn't take a lunch. Apparently, research shows that workers are more productive with breaks. And so in theory, you would be more useless by the end of the day without taking your lunch break. Uh-huh. But that's that's interesting.
Still if you're leaving early, then what's the point if you're if you're useless by the end of the day, then just leave an hour early anyway. Yeah.
Well, it does say like there's there's literally um there's health protections and safety protections to ensure workers get a physical and mental pause from their duties while working. But every state is different.
Like in Utah, for example, there's no obligation to provide breaks or lunches at all. Really? Yeah, in Utah. Yeah, under Utah State Law. Right. What? Then other people are like, I work a 10-hour shift straight every day. Yeah. Like there is no break. Right. So to speak.
Like if you have nurses and doctors, like it's very rare that they get it.
Like half a minute of her break. Yeah. Yep. So I don't know. I mean, even with a lunch, there are times I get done with the day, and I'm like, I'm just beat. Yeah. And I, you know, it's not like I'm doing a lot of physical labor, but I'm like, I'm mentally drained. I'm tired of looking at computer screens. Right. All I've done today is like look numbers at a computer.
Software and timing. Well, and even if you're in customer service, you're like, sometimes you're like, listen, I just I'm people out, and I just need a half a minute so that I can just go collect myself because sometimes even just putting on a polite face is hard. Yeah.
Yeah, it's interesting. The 40-hour work week is really super interesting when you start breaking it down like that. But it's a good question. A lot of people have a lot of mixed opinions about it because they're like, yeah, it's because it's always been that way, and there's this weird like work ethic thing around it.
But yeah, because it's always been that way is never a good idea for why you should keep something.
But change is uncomfortable.
Um, okay, but and let me ask you this. Okay. If I I only get a half an hour lunch break at my job. Um at my other job. But if I don't if, okay, time out. Let me think. If I go to work, what I'm supposed to go to work, and I take a lunch break, can I still leave at three o'clock? Yes.
Okay. Okay, I have no problems with that. Yep. Go for it.
Please can I just have a half a day today? Right. Please can I just leave early? That's all.
I'm just awfully fidgety and banging around.
No, sorry. I that's what I do because I'm a fidgeter. Sit still. I know. Sit still.
You need a like a silent fidget spinner or something. I know. You gotta keep your hands busy. Yeah, my hands get bored. Right. Sit still. Sat. You're still banging around. I'm sitting still. I'm sitting still. Look at me. Click, click, click, click, click.
I have ADD. Apparently. Apparently. Alright. Well, hey, let's start today's show.
It's never fun to wake up and then start off with not the greatest news, but uh, I do want to share that singer Bonnie Tyler uh has passed away at 75.
Bro no. Yeah, uh Total Eclipse of the Heart is probably I would say one of her uh larger songs. Um But yeah, performing uh was second nature. She had a life on the road, the meant her transformation. Um, you know, was almost instant. She went from like uh uh being no one to being huge incredibly quickly.
Um and uh and that's uh you know amazing. So uh I I was trying to find when that song came out. Was that I'm trying to see, is it like early 80s, 82, 83 maybe? Really?
I think so, yeah. Um but yeah, not not solid news to wake up to. When uh totally That's a sad one. uh Yeah, song from Bonnie Tyler came out in 1983, yeah.
Okay, then I was trying to see what else. Hold it now for a hero. That one. Oh, yeah.
I don't I don't uh I'm not familiar.
Yes, it yes, you are. I'm just gonna be briming his.
Oh, yes, that one. That one. Uh-huh.
And there's gotta be fresh on one that one. Yeah. We need a hero. Holding that for a hero. Is that what it's called? Yeah. Okay.
Was that it? Was it just two? I mean, she had to have a big
thing. She had more than that, but I think those are the two that are the most famous for sure. So All right. Well. sad. Sad one. Yeah. It sounds like she died last night, too. Is that right? Mm-hmm. I Well, I saw it this morning, but hospital in Portugal.
What was she doing? Was she that was she?
Oh, she had complications of an undisclosed illness after spending weeks in intensive care.
But I mean, was she in Portugal for any reason? Or was she vacationing? Did she live there? I don't know. Oh, okay. About that part. Yeah. All right. Well, not great fun news as we kind of start the day. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Exactly.
Way to lead us out all heavy and
I mean that I just, you know, it's the first thing it came up in my news feed. So I thought I would share the news. We'll we'll get a little more upbeat, maybe as we move forward. We'll try. You're just hoping I mean, we can't. not We It can only go up from here.
Well, that's hope. But all right. Good morning. Sorry, I'm a little slow this morning. And yesterday, too, for what it's worth. You ever uh really feel old? Because today and yesterday, I feel old.
Yeah, but why are you slow on your buttons?
Oh, because I'm just slow overall.
But you're you woke up yesterday with a sore ankle. Yeah. Limped around all day.
Listen, uh, why am I waking up in pain? Injured. My old What's the story.
You blamed me first off.
Well, no, I I've been trying to figure out what happened. And I didn't blame you first off. That was later in the day. I went, I wonder if you kicked me.
That's what you said. I wonder if you kicked me.
so hard in the night. Did you kick me in the sleep? Yeah. No.
I did it. Okay, and you actually had you had been sleeping because it was so hot in our room. Right. You were sleeping the wrong way. Yeah, with your head toward the end of the bed. Right.
And it doesn't make a lot of sense. Uh except it was the only way I could get comfortable because it was just so hot in there. But I've I've since tried to remedy that a little bit.
Yeah, but I said, How did I kick you if you're fevered by my head?
I didn't think you maybe that happened after I moved, but I thought maybe you like punched me on my ankle. Yeah. Cobbled you. Yeah, that's right.
Misery style or whatever. Yeah. So no, I woke up with this pain in my ankle, and I'm like, what is going on? Uh, but I don't have any swelling. I don't have any redness. Like, I'm not I don't have a fever, so I'm not like having some weird infection or you know, anything like that. So I've been trying to figure out what's going on. The only thing I can come up with is uh
that I had worn a different pair of shoes that had like zero arch support, and there's a tendon that runs under the arch of your foot through your ankle and then up your um calf muscle. And I think it's just flared up because of because of that. Okay. That's my theory at this point.
Okay, what have you eliminated? You've eliminated a break. It's not broken.
I don't I mean, I don't know how it would be broken.
I don't know how to be broken. And I think if it was broken, you wouldn't be able to walk on it at all.
But it's also it doesn't hurt when I put weight on it. It's it's when I take weight off, which is what the the ligaments hold your stuff together for like uneven ground and like all that kind of stuff. Okay. Yeah.
So we know it's not a break.
We know it's not you don't know
no, but I have a pretty good idea. It's not a break. Uh it's not gout. Yeah, yeah, that that is potential, I suppose.
Most often that attacks like your big toes. And there's uh and there's a lot of swelling and stuff that shows up in redness that that goes along with that from what I can understand. And I don't have swelling or bruising or anything like that. This is this is out loud the things I've been learning and researching and web embedded.
web-MDing yourself. Yeah.
Because, you know, that's more fun than just going to a doctor. Yeah. Let's read all the possible things it could be.
We know what it could not be, though. I'm almost positive it's not a break.
So then I was learning about arthritis. Oh no. But that seems like it's a different kind of pain. Okay. So I don't know about that. Uh the gout thing is interesting because it's like little crystals in your joints and stuff. Ouch. Yes. Isn't that fun?
Little sharp crystals grinding away in there. Um, what about shingles? I don't know much about shingles.
I don't know if that's an ankle thing. I think that's like uh half your body has like a uh it's like a chicken box.
Like a chicken box reaction. Yeah, I don't think that's this. Okay. This is just my ankle hurts. This is not this is not that. Okay. Uh but anyway, yeah. Yesterday I I kind of limped around, but it wasn't real bad. Last night when I laid down, it was super bad. But I've been doing the rice method. So I've been trying to rest and elevating it. I've been putting ice on it for a while and uh did a couple times yesterday do the ice thing.
It's not swollen though. Were you able to get your shoe on? Yeah. It's all it's all good. Oh. By the way, guess what I'm wearing today? What? The other mismatched pair of socks.
One red, one gray. Found them. Keeping it interesting. Yeah, oh yeah. I wonder who put those together. I finally reached the bottom of the drawer and went, oh, here they are.
You've had more socks since then. What are you saying? I'm saying. What's that mean? Because your mismatched socks happened weeks and weeks and weeks ago. That's right. I've done laundry at least twice in between then and now. So you say you reached the bottom of your drawer.
Yeah, I finally got to the last pair of these ones and found the other mismatched pair. Because laundry's been done and new socks have been put in. Yeah. Yeah.
New socks would have been on top of those pairs. That's why these were at the bottom. What I'm asking. Is how are you at the bottom? Because my socks are dirty. Oh, it doesn't even matter. I don't know. Your socks aren't dirty. It's fine. I don't even care. Sorry about your mismatched socks.
It's probably one of my ankle hurts because my mismatched socks. No. No, I think I've got this uh this issue with this tendinitis. Uh I think is what I'm dealing with. Uh and I'm trying to figure out what it's called. Peroneal tendinitis.
Are you gonna go check it out? I probably should. Yeah, you probably should.
I should. Um I don't know the treatments or anything like that, but hopefully it's not torn. That would be bad, I would think. A torn ligament. Yeah. Or a tendon. It's a tendon. Yeah.
Fun. Maybe you hurt your Achilles heel. No, it's not. The pain isn't there. Okay. No. Nope. It's it's not there. It's literally on the ankle bone. It's like really tight.
It's in the bone. It's in the bone.
That's an Ace Ventura reference from the second one. Timely. And relevant. What I do best. Yeah. All right. Well.
Well, keep on hobbling along today.
It's fine when I'm sitting here and then uh and then I've got a little bit of pressure on it on the little foot thing. That's okay. But like if I just let my foot hang, like it's there's pain. It literally is when there's not weight on it. That's when it hurts. Interesting. That's why I don't think it's broken. I think if it was broken, it would be the other way. I think I would have
pain when I put weight on it. I don't think you'd be able to.
Because I'm a bone guy now that I've done all this internet research. A bone guy? Yeah, I know about ankle bones. I'm a bone guy. You know, you watch the pit, you become an ER doctor. Yeah. I read a little bit of internet. Now I'm an ankle bone guy.
If I was working in the ER right now and you came in with your ankle pain, I'd say intubated them.
Yeah, we gotta intubate. No. No. We went, we're doing an ice cream journey this summer. Yeah. The what's it called? Uh I can't remember the name of it.
Sweet and salty club. Nah. Salt and creamy club. Yeah. Something. Salt and cream club. Yeah. Something.
Um, so we're trying different ice cream places around town. Right.
And also trying French fries and potato tots.
But we're also we're not doing the French fries as much as we are doing the ice cream. I kind of keep forgetting about the French fries portion of it. That's fine. We went to frozen yogurt last night. That's right. And Emery asked a solid question. Is Frogurt? Leave it. Frogart.
Which is what it will be called from now on. Normally people call it fro yo. I've not once heard it called Frogurt, but it is now and shall forever be. Is Frogurt ice cream is the question. Yes. Is Frogurt ice cream?
I like when I tried to correct it. You just said leave it. Nope.
That one, that one is out. It's staying. It's called frog.
Don't tell Emmerie. Why? She's just gonna make fun of me. Okay. What do you what do you think? Yes. I say also, yes. It's a nice chili treat. I say yes too. The internet says no.
I mean, look, by definition, by ingredient, it's not. It's frogurt. But it is so it's not, you know, frozen cream and sugar and whatever. It's its own thing. So it isn't technically ice cream. But I think as far as the salt and cream club is concerned. Yeah. It is absolutely a cold chili dessert on a hot summer night.
And it was delicious. Hey, listen. Uh I went to get my yogurt last night. Your frogurt? Mm-hmm. I got my uh toasted marshmallow. Yeah. And brownie batter. That's what you mixed. Yeah. Okay. Because I can't just have one. I did. I had to have two.
But I only got the little sample cup as promised. You did not. All the machines ran out. I can only have this one little cup. Okay.
But I got to the hot fudge. And I went.
I saw you. You're having a moment.
Because they have hot caramel too. Yes, they do. And that looked and sounded delicious. It is. And so I got the hot caramel, and I didn't want to mix the hot caramel in the hot fudge. You did anyway. I did anyway.
Because you're like, ah man, I really want hot fudge, and you went, bleh.
I thought maybe after I put the caramel on, I thought I had made the wrong decision by getting caramel and not hot fudge. Yeah.
I saw that on your face. You looked very much concerned. But as I was eating it, I was like, no, this caramel is good.
And I love hot fudge, but I should have just gotten the caramel. Whoa. So next time we go there, I'm just gonna get the caramel. Guess what I had? What?
Oh, I know exactly what you're doing. What did I have? I don't know what particular frozen yogurt flavor you got.
I'm gonna say the brownie batter. No. I don't know that part. Cookies and cream. Cookies and cream. Yeah. And then you get uh waffle pieces. No. No? No. You get gram cracker crust. Dust. Not crust. Crust dust.
It's just graham crackers all crunched up. Into a powder. I thought I saw waffle cone in yours. Nope. Okay. And then you get caramel. And I don't know. Peanuts. Peanuts, yeah. I knew that. Dang it.
Yeah. I failed. But I did know that. I knew that answer. Because you get the same thing every time. That's exactly right. You are a creature of comfort. That's right.
You also didn't rate them as you usually do, but I also did not get something out of the norm, which has been my thing.
Yeah, that's right. Did you forget?
No. I knew I what I wanted. I walked in and I went, oh good. I'm going to have my usual. I'm not going to go. Because what if I get something there that I just don't like? Like uh. It's it. You tried the cherry one and went, that is tart. I don't want to have a bowl of tart.
Didn't it stop me from eating the whole sample, though? I went.
Yeah. Tart. This is tart. Going back for more. Yes. Yep.
Still tart. Yeah.
So frogert is not technically ice cream, but I would consider it. And you guys need to rate it if you're going to include it. I am going to rate it.
We've eaten at four different ice cream shops now. I think. I think that's a solid number three.
Whoa. Not very high out of four. Yes, it is. No. Yeah, it is. Barely above last place.
I know, but there's gonna be others that we rate. Let me see.
They're gonna push your frogurt lower. Oh, frogurt.
You're solid. Like it is a solid choice. If you want to go get ice cream, it never, it never um disappoints.
Yeah, no, it's good. It's consistent. It's the same every time. Yeah. I can't complain.
No, and the hot caramel, I kind of forgot about the hot caramel. Maybe I'll make it a two.
Oh because of the the caramel, because it's liquid. Mm-hmm.
It's so good. But because it was warm, it melted the ice, the frozen yogurt a little bit. So I didn't like that.
There are a lot of things to think about in your rating system. Good luck to you.
You're white. And you're dude. Okay.
Here's some white dude things that common white dude thing people say. What I hear if you've heard them recently or if you said them recently. Okay, are you ready? Sure thing. Okay. Well, look what the cat drag did. No, I've not said that. Ever, ever, ever.
I don't think I've ever seriously said that.
Okay. Geez Louise. I say that a lot. I say that a lot. Oh my. Jeez, Louise. Jeez Louis. I say that one. You can't just waltz in here. No. For crying out loud. You say that a lot. I do. Yeah, you do. Crying out loud. You say that. You do. Okay. I'll I'll believe you. Oh, yeah, tough guy.
No, I've never said oh yeah, tough guy. Oh yeah, tough guy.
You're on thin ice, Buster or Mr. I would also throw in Mr. You're on thin ice, Mr. No. Some of these are old. Yeah, I know. So you're saying I'm an old white guy? No.
You're on thin ice, misses.
I've had it up to here. You never said that? Uh not.
I don't know. That's that again, maybe as a joke thing. Like, I'll turn this car around. I've had it up to here. Yeah, you have. Yeah. But never seriously.
I'll turn this car around for sure. Get a load of this guy. No.
Ah, yeah. Get a load of this guy. Yeah? Newsflash, buddy.
I like that one. You do? Yeah, but it's straight up.
Why do you have a jazz hand? Newsflash, buddy. Take a look at the headlines here on this pape.
What I really want to do is just use that in just regular conversation and have it make no sense. Yeah. News flash, buddy. Yeah, I'll do that. I'll get that job done.
Or when you go to the grocery store and they're like, all right, it's gonna be 475 dollars. You go, news flash, buddy, that's too much. Take it down. Cut it in half. Here's some coupons.
I like newsflash, buddy. Yeah, news flash, buddy. I gotta write that down. I'm just gonna start saying it. You walk into a room and just news flash, buddy. And then you just walk out. No.
No, that's not how it works. You can't just show up saying random stuff. Yeah, you can. Yeah, you can.
I guess. And then the last one. Oh yeah, you and what army?
No, but I do like the who's we. You got a mouse in your pocket. That one I do say. We're gonna do this. Oh, we are? Yeah. Who? You and the mouse in your pocket. You do say that a lot. Yeah. Not a lot, but yeah, you do. No, I don't. News flash, buddy. I don't say it that much.
I like the jazz.
Yeah, the jazz hand, you really added something with that. It's one. The other one's in your pocket. Your left hand's in your pocket, your right hand's out here going, news flash.
Because it's exciting.
but not That exciting. Hey, look over here.
Yeah. Sleight of hand.
It's not a slight news flash.
It's a sleight of hand. It's not.
Sleight of hand is when you do an illusion and you make people think you have something in your hand. And then you reveal it's not. It's over here. That's sleight of hand. News flash, buddy.
I like, I'm gonna start using that. I gotta write it down so I can use it. I want to use that more often. And then I also want to say for crying out loud. You said I say that one a lot.
I don't you said I say a lot of things a lot. Do I talk too much? News flash, buddy.
News flash, buddy. Quiet down. All right. I wouldn't consider myself uh hugger. That's an interesting statement. Why? Because I would disagree. I think with you and the kids, I am most definitely a hugger.
Your family is a huggy family.
Yeah, but I am the least huggy of the people in my family. I would disagree. Wrong. Wrong. And if I what? Go ahead.
You did not grow up in a huggy family. Yeah. And so me not being a hugging person, uh, as I grew up not that way, meeting your family, and then the first time we're there, and then we're going to leave, and they're like, all right, let's do some hugs. I was like, oh. Very awkward.
I think my my mom and my sister are huggers, but I am when I'm with them, I hug them. When I'm with you and the kids, I hug you guys.
And then my close friends. Yeah. Yes, I'll hug. Right. Um, I don't, I will never ever ever be the initiator of a hug.
Again, unless it's with those immediates. Okay. Especially I will not be a hugger if I've met you for the first time. Oh. And sometimes those first meeting huggers kind of freak me out a little bit.
I don't know. I I would say I was probably in that place, but now I'm like, whatever it's a hug. I don't mind a hug. Oh, that's nice of you. Yeah. I'm cool with it.
We met someone for the first time. Yes. And they were like, hi. Let's just give you a hug. Let's get a hug. And I went, all right, whatever. I don't like it. Yeah.
That's interesting. I don't mind. I feel like I have to know somebody before I can hug them. Yeah? Yeah.
I'm not necessarily like I'm not a you do have a bubble. I do have definitely a bubble.
I have a like if someone is sitting too close to you or standing near you in a checkout line, for example, like happened last night. You get a little bit weirded out. Like, please back up.
Yeah. You're too close. This is my space. Right. I really liked it during COVID when it was like
you had to be six feet apart. Stay six feet away from me. Best. We could get you. You remember people were putting that like uh six foot uh spinny thing around them, like off of a hat. Oh yeah. Yeah, and you was like a pool noodle. Yeah. That was stuck out six feet. So you could just put one of those on you. That way you can keep people like, hey, hey, hey, you're in my zone.
Sometimes you talk to people and they get really close when they talk to you.
Close talkers or something.
And so then I step back.
Yeah, they like keep moving forward. I don't I'm not into a close talker. Back up, Johnny. Yeah, I don't want to smell your breath. Please.
It's not even that. It's just like I this is my space. Right. This is your space. If if I can hold my hands out and touch you, you're too close. You're too close. Interesting. Back up. Again. Back up. That's that doesn't those rules don't apply to you or the kids.
How does anyone whisper a secret? They can't get close enough.
Sometimes when people whisper a secret to me, I go. I I flinch a little bit because I go really. It's close. That's interesting. I don't know where that comes from. I probably need to do some deep dive therapy on that one. Because that's probably something traumatic that happened in my childhood where I go, oh
maybe you were forced to hug somebody you didn't want to. Possibly. Over and over and over. Possibly. It's possible. Yeah. Uh every time you saw somebody, they're like, give them a hug. And you're like, I don't want to. Yeah, I don't know.
Okay. See, I like I said, I didn't grow up in a huggy family. And so for me, uh, it's like as an adult, I'm like, sure, you can have a hug. Let's go. Friends got a hug. Yeah. You know, brothers got a hug.
Well, again, it those rules do not apply to the people that I love and that I'm close to. Yeah. But if if we're a new relationship, I go, you gotta, we gotta work towards this. This isn't a you don't get a freebie hug. A hug is earned. Even though I will give you a freebie hug because that feels like the polite thing to do. What are you supposed to do when somebody goes, let's have a hug?
I think you could you say, actually, I'm not comfortable with that. It's your body, so you can say that. You can you can, as an adult woman, you can say, actually, I'm not okay with a hug, but I will totally shake your hand. Or a high five. How about we high five instead? Let's how about we make up a secret handshake? Ooh.
But then I'll have to remember it.
Make it simple. It's a normal handshake. And you go, that was just a normal handshake. And you go, shh, don't tell everybody. It's a secret. See? They'll never expect it.
It feels weird as an adult woman to say, oh no, thank you. No hugs for me, please.
You need to take ownership of yourself, I guess. I don't know what to tell you.
I don't know what to tell me either. I'll work on it. Okay. I'll work on setting some of those boundaries. It's not that I'm grossed out by hugs. It's not that I it's just it's your space.
It just feels strange, especially if we've just met to be like, let me give you a hug. I don't know you. Okay. I don't know why. Therapy is needed. For sure.
I think so. Maybe a little talking about that. You should do a little talking. News flash, buddy.
You want to do that.
to me. I am not your therapist. Yes, you are.
We have an anniversary in a couple of weeks. Yes. And uh what I would love to do is to go somewhere actually cool. But it's been a rough year. Okay. So our finances say no, you can't go somewhere too crazy.
Actually cool. What do you mean?
Like a cool place. Like let's fly in a plane somewhere. Oh, okay. But we can't. We two we're too broke right now. Okay. Plus, I'm also trying to pay off some debt and all kinds of stuff. Yeah. So we are we're just gonna go to Salt Lake City for a couple of days.
We're gonna concert we're going to.
We have tickets to a concert to Jimmy World, which is uh a band that we both love.
Yeah, and it's it's a big deal. It's like their 25th anniversary. Yeah, uh this is a big a big show. Right. It's so big that they added a second date. But I'm a little frustrated because they added the second date before the first date that was announced. So we're going to the second show.
Which is okay.
Which is the first show that was announced that we are part of that sold out, so they added
a but it's actually gonna be the first show anyway, because all of the people that are going are the people who bought tickets first.
So we all know that that's the real street. That's the real show. Yeah, the real date. Yeah. Okay. All right. Correct.
Um, so we're excited about that. I'm super excited about that. Um, but then I was thinking of like some other cool fun things that we could do while we are down there. Okay.
Um I was talking to you. When we have dates, we typically go to dinner or we go to a movie. Right. Like it's just kind of these chill dates. And it's been a long time.
Since we've had fun is what you've said.
That's not what I meant. Like, we have fun. Yeah. It's mostly like fun with our family. Like we do fun things like with all of us. Sure. But you and I on a date have not gone to a fun date in a long time. Okay. So I want to go do something fun for a date. But I don't necessarily know what that looks like.
Well, I started looking at like non-touristy things. Like, what are the what are the off the beaten path things? Great. What did it say? Uh there's a couple of different places to eat. Uh, if if we want to do that.
That's fine. That's like we can always find food. Okay.
That's there's a mysterious pyramid. Yeah. I didn't know about that. That's not necessarily fun. Okay. Uh, there's a sculpture garden. No. Okay. It's not that. Uh, there is a uh an antique mall. No. Okay. Vintage oddities at the antique mall. No. Okay.
I was asking a coworker yesterday. I go, what do you guys like? What do you and your husband do for fun? And she was like, Oh, we like to go shopping. And I was like, Yeah, but we've we've done that. We do a lot of shopping.
Okay. We spend a lot of time together, you and I. We have not done something fun. Just you and I. And I'm talking, let's go mini golfing. Let's go rock climbing. Let's go. I don't know. Let's go do something fun. Ooh, we could buy lagoon tickets.
Oh, and then listen to the noise.
I know our daughter would be furious. Furious. Okay. So that's out of the question.
All right. Let me see here. I'm I'm doing some getting away from the the norm and looking for something fun and active. So yeah, there is the indoor climbing thing.
There's uh yeah, but again, we have an indoor climbing thing here. I kind of want something that we don't have here. Okay. Go for what else?
Then it's it threw in uh Olympic ice skating and it threw in competitive axe throwing. No. Yeah, I know. I know.
I'll Uh I'll keep looking. I've been looking for some stuff too. Apparently, there's a there's an interactive Yeah,
that's what you said, interactive art thing or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
And people have done that and said that it's pretty cool. And I even looked it up. I said, is this for two adults to do without their kids? And it said, Yes.
Adults can have fun here. Oh, good. Are you sure?
I don't know. I I want to do something super duper fun with you. And listen, I think we have fun whatever we do. Like even when we just go to the grocery store, we we have a great time. But I want to do something fun. I have seen those miniature golf things where people go mini golfing. Yeah. And they don't play by the rules. It's just whoever gets their ball in the hole first. Yeah, you sent me that. So that could be super fun. What are you looking up now?
I'm just I'm trying to find more stuff. Okay. We'll keep looking. Okay.
How about you know it'd be fun. What? I'll come up with something fun to do. You come up with something fun to do, and then we'll surprise each other. Oh. Okay. Okay. Sure. Great. Dibs on the interactive museum.
Oh no. I was gonna pick that. Do you want to do that? I I don't know. Or is that dumb? I don't know. Oh, Josh. I I don't know what it is. I don't know.
I know. If you like it, surprise me. I won't. I already told you what it was. But I won't look at it.
I won't look into it. Okay. What I most want from you. Uh-huh. for Is for you to pick something. Here we go. I always plan the dates. I do. Yeah. No, I've heard. It's true. News flash, buddy.
News flash, buddy. Questions for you. Multiple? Yeah. Oh no. Do you put your socks on before your pants?
Weird question. Yeah. There's gonna be a lot of these. Oh, there's multiple questions. Oh, yeah. Okay. We've had many discussions about how I'm a sock shoe, sock shoe guy.
Yeah, you've turned me into a sock shoe, sock shoe. I used to be sock sock shoeshoe. Right. Now I'm sock shoe sock shoe.
Being a sock shoe, sock shoe is just more efficient. I'm glad I could I could teach you some lines.
I don't think that it's any more or less efficient. I think it's the same amount of time. But if your foot's already up. No. You've you see? Yeah, I see what you're saying. Okay.
I get fully dressed socks and shoes are last.
Socks and shoes are last. Even when you wear pants. Yeah. Like you are.
Shorts, whatever. Yeah.
I Socks and shoes think shoes are the very last thing that I put on. Right. But it's I go barefoot, barefoot, barefoot until it's time to leave the house. And then I go, uh, I'm not putting on shoes.
I get dressed and put on sock shoe, sock shoe, and then brush my teeth and I'm out the door. Okay.
Do you eat fries before your burger?
Uh do I have a fry before a bite of burger? I probably have at least one or two fries before I take a bite of burger. Yeah.
So it's fry fry fry, burger burger, burger, more fry fry, fry.
Yeah. But I do probably eat fries or tater tots before I have a bite of burger. Yes.
Do you finish your burger first or your fries first?
I will finish the burger before the fries. Same. Or tater tots. Same. Tater tots are better. Do you shower in the morning or at night? Whenever. I don't have I don't have a routine.
If it's the weekend, it's in the morning. If it's the weekday, we wake up too early, so I at night. Right. Um, do you brush your teeth before breakfast or after? Before. Before. Again, depends. Weekend after we're going to be a good one. I would agree.
We can do this after. Yeah. Before. True. Okay. Good job. Okay, thanks. How many points do I have? Am I winning? What do you mean good job? Way to answer these questions. Good job. Okay.
Do you practice conversations in your head before they happen?
Yes, you do. You practice them out loud sometimes.
Do you talk to yourself while looking for something? No.
Also a thing you do. I've heard it. Now, where did I put that? Let's see.
I talked to myself constantly. Are you crazy? Yeah. There are times you're your own life coach. Well, here's what happens. There's a couple of things that happen. I am my own life coach, but I do a terrible job at life coaching myself. This life coach needs fired. There are times when I think I've said something out loud and I haven't. And so I'll repeat the thing to you guys, and you'll say, Yeah, you already asked that. And I go, Oh, I didn't think I said that out loud. Yeah. But then there's times where I go, somebody goes, What? And I go. what?
I was talking with my outside voice.
Did I say that out loud? Yeah. Or I'll be walking through work talking to myself. I think quietly. And then people look at me and like, you talking to me. And I'm like, no.
Just myself. It's bad. It's bad.
I might be getting too old. Okay. Okay. Do you save the best bite for last?
Like if you're cinnamon roll, yes. Okay. Same. Like if you're eating something, like maybe there's like broccoli and mashed potatoes and a steak on your plate, but you really love the broccoli more than anything else. Do you save all the broccoli for last? No. Oh, I do. Not broccoli, but I'll save the bet the thing I like the most for last because that's the food I want to savor the most.
Yeah. I do enjoy a good uh mix of all the flavors in every bite. Oh, okay. That's one of my faves. Okay. Okay.
Now say you're eating like one of your favorite candies is peanut MMs. Do you dump out all of the peanut MMs? That one doesn't count because they're all the same flavor. It's got to be something with different flavors. Okay, say you're eating Sour Patch Kids or Skittles. So all the colors are different flavors.
Yeah. Do you like organize them by flavor? So you're like, here's all the greens. Here's all the purples. And then you eat all of the greens first because those are gross. And then you have all your purples left to eat. No. I don't either. Yes, you do.
I reach in and get what I get. I will say, if you like if you were gonna take it out of candy and take it into a treat, I actually eat.
Like what? Gardettos. I do love the rye chips so much. So you'll say that's for like the little breads. And you like the little bread things. I know. So I give all those to you, and then I have a great bag of Gardettos. I know. That's good teamwork. And I far prefer Gardettos to Chex Mix. Wrong.
You're so wrong on that. Check Smith's is far superior than Gardetta's. Do you want to know why you say that? Because I like checks.
Well, I don't mind the checks. That's fine. The reason that you say that is because you don't like pretzels. I don't. And Gardettos has pretzels. Well, Check Smiths does too. Not the same.
I think Gardettos has like a multitude of pretzels. Yes. It's got the sticks and the swirlies. Delicious. Too many pretzels. No way. If I wanted pretzels, I would have got a bag of pretzels.
If I wanted cereal, I would have got a box of cereal. What do you mean? It's So aggressive against pretzels. Do you know what's great? Pretzels and cheese. Pretzels and mustards. I like pretzels. I like a soft pretzel.
Oh man. A good soft pretzel, all warm. So good. With mustard. Yeah. Or cheese. Or warm honey. Like the hot honey? Yes. Yeah. That sounds nice. What have we accomplished? Anything? Did I win this game? Yeah. You're not so sure.
I mean, yeah, there's no winner or loser. Just things people do. All right. People have weird habits. They are things people do. Do you hit when you one last one? When you leave your car and you're locking it, do you hit it a couple of times or do you just hit it once?
I like to hear it go purpose.
I like mine too.
And then I like to like get close to the store and then go purp one more time, just so I can go. See, it's locked. Burglars that were waiting. I'm still nearby. I see you.
Not today, buddy. Yeah. Josh, what is um a completely useless talent that you have? Oh, don't I want to do that so bad. The uh dead finger snap.
Look, it's not completely useless because it really punctuates a moment. It does. Yes. Where you're like, oh, that's amazing. Oh. And you just want to be able to do it so bad.
I do so bad. Sometimes I do it. I'll say something. It's like a mic drop without a microphone. Like, boom. Boom. I can't do it. I want to so bad.
Neither can our boss, and it bugs him. I'm like, oh, snap. And he's like, I wish I could do that. I want to do it so bad. Yeah.
I was trying to think of something that I'm completely useless good at. What now? You heard. Uh you heard. I'm pretty good. I feel like I'm really good at like guessing songs. I'm really good with music.
Yeah. So I can name an artist really quick. I can name a song really quick. I'm pretty good at that. I like that I'm good at that. Okay. Proud to be good at that. All right. What about uh something else that you have?
Uh what else can I do? I can say the alphabet backwards. Can you? There's no reason why to be able to do that, but yes. Okay, good job. Yeah.
Can you make any like uh animal noises really well? I know you can. I can't. Are you sure?
I'd like to put it to the test. Nope. I heard you do a pretty good elephant. What does that sound like? Or a zebra. You're pretty good at a zebra. Uh uh. A donkey.
What other animals can you do that are great?
Stop it. We're we all know I'm bad at sound of four. What's the horse sound like? No, I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it.
It's not no, it's nay. Nay, I say.
I was I looked up like completely useless talents. So I'm going through this list. I don't know any of these. I can't do any of these.
Okay, give me give me an example.
Okay. Peeling an orange in one piece. Oh, that's neat. I bet I could do that. Knowing every state capital. Nope. Balancing a spoon on your nose. Solving a Rubik's cube quickly.
Not like super quickly, but I do know the algorithms on a basic cube. Yeah.
Wiggling your ears. Uh no. Raising one eyebrow. Yeah, I can do that. I can't do any of these. You can't raise one eyebrow. Making your thumb looks like look like it pops off.
It's not that's not that's the wrong sign language. That's not it. You did a different thing. You didn't do it right. You did a bad sign language. Yeah.
No, it's not a bad sign language.
No, it's just not it's this way. You put your hand this way. Okay. And you tuck in your thumb. Okay, what are you doing? I don't even know. Okay. are What are you doing?
I don't know. Okay, go. And then you take this hand. Okay. And you put this thumb here. So it looks like it's that hand's thumb, and you slide it down. Pretty cool. That's a sleight of hand. Illusion. That's good.
I'm gonna practice that. I'm gonna get it. You are? Yeah, I'm gonna get really good at that. So see how that thumb? Slide it down. Got that long thumb. Uh what else is on that list? Uh double jointed fingers or thumbs.
No, like I I uh my uncle had double jointed fingers, and so all, and so did my grandpa and the their uh fingertips pointed in like that on their hands.
Yeah, it was it it was interesting. Who did that? My uncle and my grandpa. You not ew. It kind of gross. But then there were people like I knew in high school that could do that with all their fingers and like hold them that way. Oh like just that like first knuckle joint, they could move their fingertip that way. Okay, and they would hold them like that. And I'd be like, quit doing that. Why are you doing that? Stop it.
Um somebody said catching things before they hit the floor. That's it. That's a useless talent. Okay, listen. You're really good at that.
What a great story I have. Because I was uh I was staffing a camp and I was working with some other guys, and we were in the first aid area, and I I was trying to remember what we were getting. Um not important, but somebody dropped something, and I had like a hacky sack boom, like it is it's on, and I bubble bumble back up into my hand, and I went. And everybody, like the three of us stood around like, did that we all just witnessed that? That was amazing.
Yeah there was one time in high school I got invited to a sleepover at the popular girls' house.
Okay, what a day.
I think the mom forced her to invite me, honestly. I don't know why I was gonna invite that girl. Yeah, I think so. Okay, but we were sitting on the trampoline and it was dark, and the neighbor boy threw a water balloon at us, and there was a girl who reached out and grabbed the water balloon, didn't even break it, but caught it in the air. And I remember being so amazed, and I went, that was amazing that you caught that.
And everybody thought I was the dork because I put so much I was giving her so much accolades for catching it. And they were like, Oh, big deal. And I was like, I thought it was cool. It is cool. I went to bed early.
I did not expect the story to end that way, but I'm so glad it did. I went to bed early.
We were talking a little bit ago about how we're going to Utah for our anniversary and we were trying to think of something fun to do. That's right. And you were like, I got something.
I found a couple of really cool things. Yeah. Like really fun, cool, different experiences.
I said, let's do it. Like we'll each book something and then I'll tell each other what the thing is. But you said, okay, don't look.
Yeah, because uh if I book something right now, it's gonna show up in the bank account. Like there's a bunch of different stuff. And then uh one of the, you know, the thing that I sort of decided on, there's like a a waiver that you have to sign. And so I said, You're gonna have to come over here and sign this waiver with this mouse, which first of all, your signature looks awful.
Hey, nobody's signature looks good with a mouse.
I didn't look that bad. But uh, you know, you look like the waiver's supposed to be signed by a 21 and over, and it looks like it was signed by a four-year-old. With a mouse, it's hard. Okay.
So then I get an email.
Yeah, that says your waiver's confirmed. And I'm looking through the waiver. Yeah.
I didn't read it before I signed it.
Oh, what'd you agree to?
Well, it said by signing it, you're giving up all legal rights.
Yeah, that's that's important. Not all legal. No, but that just means you can't sue people if you get hurt. Right. That's what a waiver is for. Yeah, I get it. That's the main purpose of a waiver. Okay. Is to say you you do this activity at your own risk.
Strenuous bodily movement, it says.
What did I sign this up for? Strenuous body movement. It's just an aerobics class. It's one of those high-intensity yogas.
This is gonna be scary. Is it? I'm reading the waiver right now. I've already signed. I've already given up my legal rights. That's right. It says I acknowledge that uh this is it has inherent dangers and no amount of care, caution, instruction, or expertise can eliminate. And I expressly and voluntarily assume all risk of personal injury or death.
Wow. Let's let's just keep it easy, huh? I mean, easy breezy. That's legal speak. I said they just don't want to get sued.
My middle name is danger.
Well, we're gonna find out. We're gonna put it to the test.
And then you said that there is video. You got a package that includes a video.
That's right. So there will be video of this activity. I don't know if it needs to be recorded.
I don't know if anything I do that's physical ever needs proof. Well, there is gonna be proof. Dang it.
Maybe we'll depending on how the video turns out. Maybe we'll share it. Put it on socials. Yeah, all right. Let everybody see.
Hold on. Hold up. We got we'll watch it first.
Before, and then we'll make that determination. Correct. Yeah. Well, I'm glad you're reading the waiver after you signed it. I mean, that's what you do. Yeah. I agree to it.
I don't know if I read it. I perused it. Yeah. It's fine. Okay. Super. I feel fine.
I feel like you're a little nervous.
I am kind of a little bit nervous. Yeah.
This physical body manipulation. Is that what it said? That's weird. That's a weird verbiage. That's a strange bit of thing to say. You will be physically altered, whatever it was.
Excessive bodily movement. Huh. Huh. Wonder what that means. We're puppeteers. Yes. But we're the puppets. Marionette. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
Puppeteers. Which is different. Different than a person who does a marriage.
marionette. No, the puppeteer is a person who's...
Yeah, but you said we're the we're puppeteers, but we're the movement. Yeah. We're the marionette dolls. Right. That's what it is. You guessed it. It's a giant marionette reenactment thing. That's it. Nailed it. Glad you signed the waiver so you can be a marionette doll now. Would you rather this or that? Okay.
Would you rather every time I say, I've got this, something immediately goes wrong. Or every time I say, this will only take a minute, it actually takes an hour. Okay, hold on.
Let's go through this again. Every time I say No, me. You. Yeah. So every time you say, I got this, something immediately goes wrong. Yeah. Or every time you say, This'll only take a minute. It actually takes an hour. I feel like both of these are true.
I knew you were going to say that. Did you?
I got this. And then something immediately goes wrong. No, that doesn't matter. Yes, it does. Because you say it as like a I know I can't do this thing, but I'm gonna I'm gonna say I can and then immediately goof it up. Give me an example. On purpose.
I think you do it intentionally as a goof. Like if if some like set up this ladder. I'm just picking a thing. You're like, I got this. And I'm like, please don't.
You're you're gonna hurt yourself. Let me set up the ladder. I can't set up a ladder.
I don't know. I can set up a ladder without messing it up. It's a bad example. I'm just saying that like there are things where you'd be like, no, I got this. And I'm like, clearly you don't. But you're like, no, no, I got this. Back up.
And I go, you are gonna hurt yourself. So I feel like that's a thing that happens. Uh or the ladder is set up and you need to reach something up high. You're like, I got this. And I'll go, no, you don't. That's get down.
Yeah.
No, no, I got this. No, you don't.
No, I'm not allowed on ladders.
Right. So I feel like that's that's the thing. And then this will only take a minute and it actually takes an hour.
Okay, hold on. Go back. Because there's been a couple of times that I've had some problems on some ladders. Right. I'm not allowed on a ladder, especially if you're not around.
Right. And so at work, this was a while ago, but at work months and months and months ago. You had to get on a ladder. Somebody was like, hey, can you get on the ladder and get to that? I go, I'm not allowed on ladders. And they went, What? I'm not good on ladders. No, my husband told me I'm not allowed on ladders.
I'm not so good on ladders. Once I go up, I can't get down.
It's like a cow going upstairs. Yeah. Yeah.
Now I'm stuck on a ladder. And then you have to call people. It's embarrassing. Uh this will only take a minute and it actually takes an hour. Yeah, that's I feel like that's less of an occurrence.
I feel like that's less of an issue too. Like if it's gonna take, it's gonna take as long as it takes.
Uh there are times where it's like, hey, I need to run to the store or something. You're like, I'll go with you. Let me get ready real quick. And then I go, I could have been to the store. by now. By now. That's not but you want to go with me, and that's nice. And so I wait, and I go, but I was ready to go when I said I'm gonna run to the store real quick. It wasn't like I said that, and then I needed to prepare.
I was ready then. Fine. I'm just saying that's a thing that happens. Yeah.
It's never an hour, but it's minutes. What are you picking? I'll just pick the some immediately immediately goes wrong when you got this. I live in that life already. It's comfortable. That's fine. I got this.
Let me handle it. And you go, um don't I don't know if you do. I was just watching a cute video where there was somebody recording she was driving in a car and she was recording the car in front of her, and the car in front of her was a truck.
And clearly it the truck had a bench seat because the dude was driving and there was the girl sitting next to him. In the middle. In the middle.
God. And she said, I wish I knew these people so I could send in this video because this is adorable. And then it made me think, you've never got to sit in the middle in any car that we've had together.
You've always had bucket seats. Well, but the Lumina had a bench seat. The Lumina? Yeah.
Yes. The Chevy Lumina. Chevy Lumina had a bench seat in the front.
That doesn't happen.
Everybody pile into the Lumina. We're going for a drive.
Oh no. That would be you driving and then me sitting. That's what I'm saying next to you in the car. Yeah.
In the Lumina. No. No. No. That was a great car. Never had an issue with the Lumina once. No. That car was terrible. Uh, but you don't want like, do you want to sit in the middle seat next to me? Or what do you what are you saying? What am I saying?
Have you ever had a bench seat truck? Yes. And had a a cute girl sit next to you. No. Never ever, ever. Because you had an old Ford. Right. And you're It's the cute girl part. Oh. I had the truck. Yeah, the truck.
And you had a girl. Snap. Yeah, well.
Take that. There was uh, I went on a date once in college with a boy who had a bench seat truck and we went mudding. Oh, you went digging? Yeah. You want to go digging? I never took my truck digging.
It wasn't built for that. It was a road truck, not an off-road truck. He had an off-road truck. Yeah. And we're going to. Did you ride all the way over? Did you sit in the middle? Um I think I sat in the middle. Rude. Why is that right? Why are you sitting in the middle with other boys? I don't know.
It was one date. We didn't, I didn't go on another date with him. Yeah, because he took you digging.
Let's go digging in the mud with my truck. Yeah, that's fine. Uh no, I I like if I could swap out the buckets in the truck and in the in the tundra and put in a bench seat. How would that? You wouldn't sit in the middle? No. You wouldn't slide on over? No. I wouldn't. Put your arm my arm around you while I'm driving.
No. He just said I like my space. Man. Oh no.
Passenger princesses these days.
Yeah, exactly. No catchy.
Independent climate controls.
Plus, also, where am I gonna put my water bottle? If you've got a bench seat, bench seat.
Yeah, you the cup holder. I'll get one of the ones. They used to make the ones that clip on the inside of your uh window. It was do you remember the little plastic and it clip inside the little slot in the door where the window rolls down? We'll put it right there and you'll have a cup holder. No.
I just like the cup holder and the console. We got a good system. I'm not no. We're keeping our bucket seats. You don't want a bench to sit there? No, I just said no.
Nothing cooler than two people driving down the road, one in the middle and one in the driver's seat. It's sweet. It's adorable. It is sweet.
But no. We've bitched.
And get a gun rack for the back window, too. You need it. And then we can go digging. Go mud. You know?
Yeah, get a little mud on those tabs.
That's the country song says, yeah.
We're gonna switch our whole life around, aren't we? That's exactly right. Bench seat gun rack. Guns, mudding. Super cool. Digging.
Country music. Cool. Anyway. All right. What else? Uh. That's it. I think that's it. I think that's all for the show. Have a great rest of your Thursday. Tomorrow is Friday. This week went by. It did. Agreed.
