Do you like that? I do. It's a little bit of a rhyme, but also also a little bit of Johnnie Cochran and then there's pretty good. Yeah. There's a little bit of Johnnie Cochran.
Yeah. Boise State is headed to the Fiesta Bowl. Yeah. It's Penn State. That's a big ride.
Not a rival, but that's a big competition. That's a that's a big deal. Okay. A big game. Mhmm.
Winter weather has arrived in East Idaho. So let's drive slow. Let's not pull in the parking lot super fast. Let's take it easy. Keep your distance.
Yep. That's life advice. Keep your distance. Keep your give me some space. I'm sad I didn't get to taste my sugar cookies this year.
Sorry. Christmas snaps are great. How many did you have? 3. At least.
1. At least. Interrupted. At least. The neighborhood squirrel has saved all of the peanuts.
Yep. All over the yard. They're everywhere. She can find them. Do you put away your gifts right after opening them or wait a while?
Depends if I'm being lazy or not, I suppose. We did a miserable job of documenting Christmas this year. A whole 11 photos, and most of them, people aren't looking at cameras or eyes are closed. I am very aware that there are snacks in the kitchen. Are you?
Yeah. Oh, so aware. Our daughter is learning the old ways. Uh-huh. And we're here again.

And Christmas was yesterday. Just like that. Christmas is over. I I mean, you know, there's still Christmas to be had. There's still there?
I think so. What kind of Christmas is there, miss? Lives within you. So there's as much Christmas as you wanna have. It's thank you note day.
So there's gratitude. There's, there's plenty of that to be had. It's candy cane day, so there's plenty of those still around. That should have been yesterday, I would have suspected. Well, it it needed its own standout, I think.
What's what else is going on? It's Boxing Day. It is Boxing Day. Which is which is a big deal. Now boxing day, not always celebrated, in America, big in the UK.
It's the day after Christmas day. It's a public holiday that is a day of rest and relaxation. I like that. I love that. And it is traditionally a time when people exchange gifts and visit friends and family.
And, no one really knows where Boxing Day originally started. Really? Yeah. Its its exact origins are a bit unclear. There is a theory that 1, that the day was named after the custom of giving gifts to, the less fortunate, which was traditionally done the day after Christmas.
Boxing gifts, and the gifts were then placed in boxes or placed at churches or whatever in boxes. And so there was that kind of thing. The other theory is that it was originally a holiday, for servants and trades people who would receive a Christmas box from their employers on the day after Christmas. So there's a couple of different ideas. There's a third theory that, it goes back to ancient pagan traditions and was originally a celebration of winter solstice.
Again, marked by gift giving and festive traditions. It's Boxing Day. If it's just I like the day of rest. Yeah. Mhmm.
Because you didn't That's how you celebrate. Yeah. You didn't get enough rest on Christmas. Nah. You need more rest.
That's right. I need more rest. Yesterday was the start of Hanukkah. So today is, 2nd day of Hanukkah. And Kwanzaa starts today.
So there's a couple of, days of Kwanzaa. It runs until the end of the year. Still festivities to be had. Saying. There is, it's also the festival of winter walks.
That's been that's been running since 17th. Winter walks. You know? I thought about taking a walk yesterday. Mhmm.
Our dog needed to get out some energy, and I saw another people walking some dogs. Mhmm. And I said, oh, a nice Christmas walk would be great. And then I looked outside, and it was snowy and windy. And I said, oh, never mind.
Yeah. I noticed that didn't happen. And I snuggled back down in my blanket. I did that did happen. And I said, no.
I'm not going outside. Not today. Well Not on Christmas day. No. Well, anyway, we're back.
We're in the studio. Good morning. It's Josh and Chantel. Happy Thursday. Day after Christmas.
I know. But you got today I know. And I get to tomorrow. Today and tomorrow? And then you get the weekend.
Woo hoo. That's what I'm saying. This we should do this every week. Work a day, have a day off. Have 2 days off.
That work a day, have 2 days off. Work 2 days, have 2 days off. I love it. Work a day, have 2 days off. That's The best.
Well, we're gonna work 2 and then have 1 and then work 2 and then have 2. So that's not bad. No. That's not terrible. Plan for the next few days.
I like days off. I like The Wizard of Oz. Oh, okay. I like the wizard of Oz. Alright.
Well, good morning. Happy Gilmore 2 is coming next year, I think. Yeah. Well, it's almost next year, so it doesn't seem like the wait will be long. I don't know when.
It just says coming soon to Netflix in 2025. Only to Netflix, which I think is interesting. They're not releasing it in theaters. They may still do a theatrical thing. I don't know.
It's because I don't know how all that works. But, is there I was just trying to see if there's, like, a real full on release date, but I don't know. No. I It just says coming soon. Yeah.
The thing that I saw said that they have a tentative plan to release it on next year. Oh, no. Next year. Okay. Well, the the little teaser trailer, it's about 45 seconds long.
It came out, about 18 hours ago, so yesterday, which which means they probably aired it because Netflix had all the Christmas football games. So they probably released it during But we watched those football games. Yeah. But I I wasn't watching that closely, and we didn't watch a lot of the Chiefs game. And it has Travis Kelce in it.
The movie does. So they probably ran it during that game that you aren't watching a lot. Necessary. Yeah. I know.
Have we seen enough of that guy? It also has, bad bunny in it. I don't know who that is. He's a big deal. Is he?
Yeah. When it comes to not be that big of a deal. I don't know who he is. You're not a big Latin music person, so it it's not making your space. He is didn't he just get engaged to Selena Gomez?
Yes. Okay. And he was on he was on the people's list for, like, their He was one of the runner ups. Yeah. I didn't agree with that.
He's got a unibrow. Unibrows are so hot right now. I know. I'm offended by the unibrow. Yeah.
So, Adam Sandler is one of your faves. And He is one of my favorites. When did the original come out? I wanna say early 2000. Like, 2,021,000?
1996. No way. Yeah. Way. I woulda guess that's when It's been almost 30 years.
Holy Smokies. Yeah. Christopher McDonald is Shooter McGavin. McGavin. He makes a a little cameo here in the trailer.
I'm sure he's a big part of the plot. Bowen is back as the love interest. Yep. Yep. She has better hair.
She had bad hair bad hair in the You didn't like her hair in the first half? It was very nineties hair. Yeah? I would agree. It was 1996.
So, anyway, the new one's coming out. You're excited at least a little bit? Kind of. I sequels are always hard. Sure.
They play too hard. They don't have any of their own jokes. They play on the first movie's jokes sometimes, and that's always hard. Because you don't want the same movie. You want a new movie with new jokes.
Right. Here's, back in August, Adam Sandler was on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and and they kinda teased that Travis Kelce was gonna be in it. I like I like Adam's line. He just said, Travis mentioned it, so we have something nice for Travis. Like, it's like, yay.
He mentioned he wanted to be in the thing, so we have something we have something nice for Travis. I just think that's funny. Anyway, we'll see when this thing actually comes out, but 2025 on Netflix. Happy Gilmore 2. And the trailer, the little teaser trailer is out now.
Fun. I mean, I I'm no. I'm not excited, but I'll watch it. Okay. It's Adam Sandler, so I'll, you know, see what it's about.
So we did okay on our Christmas return list. What do we got? Like, just a couple of things? Things. You have a pair of shoes that are slightly too big.
Right. And then we have a a record player thing that is malfunctioning. So we have a a malfunctioning piece of electronics and a a pair of shoes that are just a little too large. That's it. Those are our new returns.
Yeah. Not terrible. Today is probably the biggest day for returns. I would imagine that is correct. Are you planning on doing that today, or are you planning on Mine as well.
Okay. I just didn't know if you were like, no. That's lay low day. No. Well, yesterday was kind of our lay low day.
I okay. I mean, I'm happy to lay low too, but Yeah. It'll take 2 seconds to go do our returns. True. I also have a pair of shoes.
They are slightly they are slightly big, but you said that they didn't have a a smaller size. Well, it's the last of that size for sure. Oh, dang it. I don't know if there's other sizes available or not. I didn't know you were thinking about that.
Yeah. I was thinking about that. I just thought you were gonna get a thicker sock. That's not the right one. Feet shrinking?
No. That pair of shoes, those particular pair of shoes, that brand Yeah. Sometimes I have to size down. Oh. Anyway Well, I learned that about this particular brand of shoe as well, the ones that I I have to go back because they're too big.
They're just too big. It's just the way it is. Sometimes a shoe is just a little too big. And rather than have a floppy shoe, I went, ah, it's taken. Well, that's what mine are.
They're a little bit floppy in the toe. Yeah. And because I'm a trip hazard Don't wanna have a floppy toe. I don't need a floppy shoe. That makes sense.
Now what size did we get you in that shoe? 11? Yeah. I'm gonna size down a whole size, not a half. Okay.
Because I was gonna say. Yeah. They did not have that. I was gonna get you a 10 and a half. Right.
And they said we only have 10 or we only have 11. I would I would knock down to a 10. Maybe I should go with you just to try it on. Well, yeah, I wasn't gonna do it without you. Oh, I thought you were.
No. That's why I was kinda asking if you were gonna go do return stuff. No. No. No.
You have to go so that you can try it on. That makes sense. Yeah. That makes sense. I should probably go with take my foot with you.
Yeah. That's a good idea. So you can see. What if that was a thing? Here.
Have my foot. That would be great because then we could do some shopping while you were napping. Right. That's what I'm saying. Yes.
That sounds absolutely correct. Here's my foot. Go shopping. Go buy me some shoes. That's right.
While I rest. I'll be here because I can't walk around because I only have the one foot. Emery had there was a couple of things that I bought for her that I thought maybe she would want to return. She seemed good. I think she was okay.
She didn't love them or hate them. She was just meh about them. Yeah. And I said, we can take them back. I'm not offended.
So ship them back. I don't care. Send them back. Oh, we did have another return. Oh, no.
Ordered the wrong thing for Beck. So we have a total middle of that return. That one came online. Right. And I had to send a picture of it unused.
Right. And that's been done? There it's pending. Oh. They have to review it.
Oh, a pending return. So fancy. For a $25 item, you're like, we'll think about this. Well, cool. Not terrible on our return list this year.
No. I also today is garbage day because it was normal yesterday, so I had I had taken the garbage out to the street. That. And I thought to myself, this is a lot less garbage than usual. Like, there isn't, like, a big box or, like, there's it was just in one bag.
One bag of garbage? One bag of garbage. Look at us. I know. That felt pretty cool too.
There are boxes. I don't know if you saw the boxes. That's different. Those won't fit in the can. But there aren't, like you know what I mean?
There's not, like, a Oh, I know too. I was so happy that I saw that garbage can rolled out to the street. Good job. Oh, thanks. Way to remember that.
Just doing my chores. No big deal. Just doing my chores. This is good news about a guy named Brian Clegg. He is from New York.
He has struggled with weight his entire life. At his largest, he weighed £409 and endured significant pain just walking around. Aw. And, he describes himself as a stress eater. He would often, relegate mealtimes to a bag of fast food and sugary snacks.
That was what worked for him. Okay. Years of suffering from the consequences of overeating and a poor diet and a sedentary lifestyle sort of came to a head last year. He went on a trip to Coney Island with some friends, and he was told that he could not ride a roller coaster because he was too large for the roller coaster. And then so in front of his friends and everybody else, he had to Yeah.
That's so embarrassing. Embarrassing, moment. So he said, well, then enough's enough. And he, put himself on a a pretty big mission. And over the past 11 months, he has lost a 135 pounds, mostly by cutting out sugar and fast food and starting an exercise program at the gym.
He started out 5 minutes per day. He said, I'm going 5 minutes. You gotta start somewhere? You gotta start somewhere. He said, I couldn't live life, and, he said I had things I wanted to accomplish, but I was wondering how long I was even gonna live.
And I started going to the gym 3 times a week. I was only able to do the Stairmaster for 5 minutes on level 1. But he was doing something. Doing it. He was doing it.
So he did the Stairmaster level 1 for 5 minutes, and he went 3 times a week. 15 minutes a week is what he did. Cut out fast food, cut out sugar, and he was able to do this. Well, over the last 11 months, he went from wearing a 5 XL shirt to a 2 XL. He went from a 52 inch waist to a 42 inch waist waist, and his 5 minutes at level 1 has now turned into 1 hour at level 10 on the stair master.
What's his name? Brandon? His name is, no. Brian. Brian.
Brian Clegg. Yep. 39 years old. So big accomplishment. And he went back to Coney Island, and he rode a roller coaster for the first time.
He has climbed mountains, and he has climbed skyscrapers in New York. And he has gone on lots of walks. He says he feels energized and happy, and he hopes to inspire others who are struggling with their weight. Awesome. Good job, buddy.
409 is as big as he's lost a £135. I don't think 35 pounds in 11 months. Person. That is a whole person. He's lost a whole person.
That's pretty wild. Shit that weight off. Yeah. Way to go, Brian. Job.
Well done. That's some good news to get you going. The game is set for, New Year's Eve. It will kick off, I believe, 5:30 PM. What game is that?
The Fiesta Bowl. Oh, Fiesta. Fiesta Bowl. Fiesta Bowl. Is, it's a college football game, a bowl game.
It is played annually in Phoenix. It happens, in, well, technically, Glendale. And it's been going on, from starting in 1971. And this year, it's Penn State versus Boise State. Good for Boise.
Yeah. So Boise, got the number 3 seed in the college football playoffs. Penn State, beat SMU to make it to the Fiesta Bowl. They will now play against Boise on New Year's Eve. Who's in the 1 and 2 seeds for college football?
Oregon and I'm just looking. The Oregon Ducks? Yes. That is correct. Or the Oregon Beavers because they got No.
The Ducks. The Ducks. And now I don't know. Oh, Josh. I got well, I wasn't prepared to talk about that.
I can match you with a hard hit. I'm glad to hear you. Oregon then Georgia. Nope. That's rankings.
That's not the seed. Now I gotta hold on. It's okay, Josh. I don't I don't necessarily really do need to know. I don't.
I don't need to know. I was just curious. Alright. Well, you asked, and I'm trying to figure it out. It's okay.
Oregon is, first, and then 2nd seed is Georgia. Okay. 3rd seed is Boise. 4th is, Arizona state, the Sun Devils. And then you have, I believe that's Texas after that.
I'm trying to see. Well, good job, Boise. Is Boise is a 3rd seed. They had a by week, leading into they didn't have to play last week leading into the game coming up on 31st. Rest and stretch and and practice themselves get mentally and physically ready for this Fiesta Bowl.
Get transferred down to, If they win the Fiesta Bowl, anything Well, they move on. So so the Fiesta Bowl is one of many bowl games that will be happening. Okay. So Oregon and Ohio State is a big game to watch, because the winner of that will move on. Again, that that Arizona game.
You've got Notre Dame and Georgia, and you have Boise State and Penn State. So there are only 8 teams remaining in the playoffs. The winners of those teams will move of those games, those bowl games will move on to the, semifinals, and then you'll have the championship game. So there is a chance if Boise beats Penn State, they would move on to play Notre Dame or Georgia. Oh.
Georgia's quarterback is hurt, so they are down there. They're they were very strong very strong against Notre Dame. But because of that, there is a challenge there. So they if Boise wins, they would move on to play against Georgia and Notre Dame and then move on again. There is a chance they move on to play the Ducks in the championship, which would be a very cool game, and a bit of a rematch.
Boise lost to the Ducks by only 3 points earlier this year. That would be fun to see. That's so much better. Rematch. I would really like to see that rematch and let Boise have some redemption and let Ashton Jante go crazy.
That's what I'd like to see. Is that what you'd like to are you gonna watch the Fiesta Bowl? I would like to. Yeah. I think, a little BSU Fiesta Bowl action on New Year's Eve at 5:30 sounds pretty good.
Okay. I could be down with that because I'm old now. And so, game at 5:30 and then bedtime by 9 sounds on New Year's Eve, that sounds Yeah. That sounds like 3 hours too early. That sounds awesome.
No way, man. Yeah. Way, man. Just the right time to go to bed. Okay.
Alright. Well, New Year's Eve shaping up to be a big deal at the Tielor household. We, we know how to party. Yeah. Okay.
Well, we've got I've got some I don't know. Is it good news? Is it bad news? Is it sad news for you? I look.
The snow the snow is here, and it's not going away for, like, a couple of days. Okay. That's I don't know how you wanna take that news, but I'll just rip that band aid and tell you. I was pleasantly happy to see snow yesterday. I wanted a white Christmas Yeah.
And it arrived. Yeah. We got a little bit of snow. Not bad. Livable snow.
Livable. Mhmm. Yeah. I like livable snow. Well, here's the latest.
We've got a winter weather advisory in effect. It started, 5 o'clock this morning. And if you noticed when we were walking in, there were a few flurries starting up. I did not notice. A couple.
Well, it's snowing for real out there, and I know you can't see because it's dark. But there's a light at that window, and I can kinda see It looks fuzzy. Yeah. Which means there's probably snow. Yeah.
So the winter weather advisory is in effect until 5 PM tomorrow. Okay. So this is a long one. Total snow accumulation expected to be between 26 inches. Winds gusting to 35 miles per hour.
Oh. This is a winter storm. So this is all across, southern and eastern Idaho. So it's it's basically the Utah border to the Montana border, and it goes until 5 PM tomorrow. Roads, bridges, overpasses, a lot of that, area gonna become slick and hazardous.
So please, take extra time, drive slowly, leave room between you and the cars around you, slow down. If you need to get the latest road conditions, you can. You can call 511. That's easy. Or you can go to 511.idaho.gov, and there's the full Idaho road map.
Now as I'm looking at it right now Uh-huh. A lot of the section of I 15, a lot of the 86 and 84, all of it purple Oh, no. Means difficult. All the way, to Utah border, that whole stretch of I 15, and then going north, above Idaho Falls all the way to the Montana border, Also Oh, dog. Lots of purple on the map today, this morning.
So What that tells me is that I I don't need to go anywhere. Yeah. Right? That's the big deal. If you don't need to travel, obviously, don't go just gallivanting around and making more traffic for the fun of it.
It's definitely going to be, a mess. They're saying that the lower elevation areas like, Rexburg and Rigby, Saint Anthony, Idaho Falls, Blackfoot, Fort Hall, Shelley, Pocatello, American Falls, all of that area is expected to see 2 to 6 inches of snow over the next day and a half, as we move into Friday. And then higher elevation areas, Lava Hot Springs, Swan Valley, Haley, Sun Valley, all of those kinds of areas, Victor, Soda Springs could receive between 4 19 inches Oh, god. Of snow. So Okay.
Be careful. Yeah. That, I'm just gonna go home, and I'm gonna tuck in it under my blankie. Yeah. And I'm not going anywhere.
That's what I'm saying. We've got plenty of food in the house. Yeah. We're gonna just hunker on down. Yeah.
The snow is here. It's not going anywhere until 5 o'clock tomorrow night. So Okay. Be careful. Hunker down.
And, Stay safe. Stay warm. Please. Yeah. Make sure you got hot cocoa.
I got some if you need some. Do you? Okay. Alright. Good deal.
So we talked about this a little while ago. I did not know that Santa did not like my sugar cookies. I don't know that Santa doesn't like them. You don't like that. I don't enjoy them.
And we've left them for Santa for years. That is true. Santa does like them because Santa doesn't eat them. Santa ate them every single year. So I don't think it has anything to do with Santa.
I think I just let you know. Yeah. This this was a a time for me to say, hey. Maybe we, leave a different cookie out for Santa Claus. Maybe let's try something new.
Maybe That was had enough sugar cookies. Kind of our tradition, me and the kids. Yeah. We would make sugar cookies on Christmas Eve and Or around Christmas time. Yeah.
Here's what happened. Every time I would make sugar cookies, though, we would make sugar cookies. Everybody's involved in the beginning. Yep. And then they start to peter out Right.
By the time the frosting happens. Correct. Sugar cookies take a long time. Yep. You have to make the dough.
You have to chill it. You have to make the frosting. Right. And then you gotta roll it all out. It's time consuming.
We didn't make sugar cookies for the first time in Did you miss them? Well Because look. You made, that delicious Chex Mix thing, so you still did some stuff. I made some cookies. Our daughter made some cookies.
Our son could not care less about being in the kitchen. And so I think everybody's I good to go. I think it was fine. I was I had intentions on making other different cookies, but we had so many goodies on our kitchen counter Very true. That I said, I'm not gonna make I was gonna make homemade caramels.
I was gonna make those almond cherry cookies Oh, yeah. Those delicious. With the coconut. Mhmm. Yep.
Those are those are pretty delicious. Yep. I didn't make those because, again, we just had so Yeah. There's the counter is covered in treats. Whether it's treats from neighbors or friends or coworkers or just Plenty of treats.
Yeah. Like you said, you made oatmeal cookies. Raisin chocolate chips. I made chocolate chips. There's so many.
So many great cookies. I did miss I do like my sugar cookies, and that is a Christmas staple for me. We did have some sugar cookies that were given to us. Yes. And so I did have some.
You did have sugar. And I was happy to have those. Great. So it was fine. So But also kinda sad.
Alright. Because I like those sugar cookies. My sugar cookie recipe is good. I got it from my sister. Yeah.
It's one of my best recipes. Cool. Maybe I'll make them for Valentine's Day. Oh, maybe. You don't have to have them, Josh.
I'll just eat them my own stuff. Can you here's the deal. Make fewer of them because you also make, like, 2 platters. Yeah. Because that's what the recipe calls for.
You can adjust the recipe. Cut it in half. It does make a lot. Yeah. I just whenever I cut recipes in half, it never it doesn't ever taste the same.
That makes no sense. I know. It does. Is it because the only way that would happen is if your math was bad, if your math was bad. Do you have bad math?
Yes. We already know that I have bad math. You should work on your math. No. I don't wanna.
Just cut it in half. You'll be good to go. I promise. Alright. Alright.
Cookies, sugar cookies for Valentine's Day. Okay. Josh gets none. Okay. Fine.
I here's the thing. I didn't miss them because it is time consuming. I just missed tasting them because they are good. Okay. So there we were yesterday on Christmas day, and you were playing with the new, what are they?
I don't know. The markers? Oh, they're they're just these fancy, I don't know, art markers. They're they're they they don't bleed. They're through.
Yeah. They're yeah. There's there's, like, a big set of art markers. So, yeah, I was doing some drawing and some, some art. I was making art.
Yeah. You were doing that. Emery was, she got a new record player, so she was fiddling with that. Uh-huh. And Bec was doing whatever Bec does.
Yep. And then I came and sat down on the couch, and you said, don't you have anything to play with her? Doing? What do you what do you what are you doing? I said, yeah.
I'm gonna take a nap in this new blanket that I got. Right. I'm also going to later take a bath with my new bubble bath. So, yeah, I have plans for my presents too. Very good.
That just made me laugh. Don't you have anything that you need to do? Yeah. What are you working on? What do you What do you play with?
Yeah. I did get a puffy new coat. Yeah. You wore that today. You said it was nice.
That around for a minute. Have the tag on it. That's I cut it off. Oh, did you? Yeah.
That's a shame. Well, I That's like wearing the sticker on the brim of your hat. Well, you gotta keep the tag on for a minute just to make sure it's gonna work. Like, it's cute, and I like it, but I had to wear it outside to see if it was gonna be warm enough. Oh.
So you had to keep the tag on to be like, yeah. This will work. Maybe it is? Yeah. Did you know that big puffy hood is removable?
Woah. I didn't know that part. Are you gonna leave it on? For now. I like the hood.
I do too. It's got a little fur on it. I like that big puffy coat. And then you, you know, if it's snowing like it is, you put the hood on, and then you don't get snow on your head. I know.
It's perfect. Ta da. And I did. I took a nice bubble bath yesterday. You took a couple of naps, but you said they weren't restful.
No. A couple of naps. Yeah? I wouldn't say a couple of naps. It was one nap interrupted intermittently.
That doesn't count as a couple of naps. It's one nap. It felt like more than one nap. No. You turned on what'd you turn on?
Ghostbusters. Yeah. The new one? Because I hadn't seen it. I fell asleep to that.
And now now I've seen it. The dog watched the whole thing start to finish. The dog is what woke me up from my nap. Because she got scared a couple of times. There were a couple of scary scenes.
There was a cranky doll, and she did not like that doll, and she barked at it and wanted to attack it or something or save it. I don't know what she was going through, but she was having a moment. That woke me up. And then there was a big monster with horns, and she didn't like that either. That also woke me up.
So that was one nap woken up by the dog. No. No. You had another nap separate from that show. When was when?
When? Earlier in the day. No. Yeah. When?
You had a couple naps. I had one nap. I think you had a little bit more than one nap. And then you say to me, you're not gonna fall asleep tonight. And I said, watch.
Then you did. Not a problem. Not a problem. Sleep is nice. I like sleep.
Emory even took a little Christmas time. I know. She had a quite delivery. I didn't, but I should have. Why didn't you take one?
I was busy. Playing with your markers? I had other stuff going on. I had fishing stuff I had to put away. I had, I got a new, bag for my snowboarding gear, so I had to work on that.
I just had stuff go on. You had a lot of stuff to play with yesterday. I know. Well, just organizing. I just put it all away.
Like, I went, oh, this can go here. This can go here. Alright. Put all my snowboarding stuff in this new bag. Alright.
Now you're ready to go. Now I'm ready to go. That's right. And now the snow is here. So So it's gonna be a good minute.
It might be time. It might be time to go? It might be. While the snow is here? Well yeah.
Snowboarding. Yeah. While the snow is here. We were talking about fishing. I was talking about all the things.
We didn't talk about snowboarding once. Oh, I guess you had your snowboarding bag. Alright. I get it. I'm here with you.
And everything's packed up and ready to go. Yeah. So now I can go. Snowboarding. Fishing.
I thought we were talking about fishing. No. I could do that too if I wanted. But In the snow? Sure.
As long as there's not ice on the water, it's all good. You can't fly fish in the ice. I could go ice fishing. I do have that gear too. You could.
I don't have that in a bag. It's not ready. It's not prepared. Get it ready. It's gotta go in a bucket.
You gotta carry that all in a bucket. Why a bucket? That's just the way it works. It's just the way it goes. We have a squirrel that well, we have a couple of squirrels that like to visit our house.
And that poor squirrel, on Christmas Eve, came to our house to get some peanuts, and there were no peanuts to be had. And the corn that you had put out probably months ago was empty. Like, you put a corn cob on this little perch. So then it was just the little empty, coloneled And he was dried out thing. Yeah.
And that poor squirrel was like, oh, there's no food here. Right. So it went out, filled up the little nut container, put some more peanuts in there, put a new corn on the hook thing. That was the happiest little squirrel after that. What I watched for a long time was that squirrel would get a peanut, and he would eat a piece of it, and then he would go and bury it all around the house.
He buried probably, god, I wanna say 15 to 20 different peanuts around the yard. Or more. He was busy for a long time. A long time. I had to go out and chase him off of my truck at one point.
Was he burying them in your truck? My fear was that he was going to try to find little nooks and crannies underneath my truck and in my engine and stuff, and I didn't want him doing that. So he was standing on my tire with a peanut in his mouth. Oh, no. I went out there and I went, go somewhere go hide it somewhere else.
I talked to him. I said, not the truck. You're good anywhere else. Don't don't put it in the cars. Stay away from the cars.
Go put your peanuts in the leaves and the plants and whatever. He buried them in the plants, buried them in leaves. It was so funny to watch his little hams. And then we have a pile of leaves in the gutter. He went and buried some peanuts in the gutter.
I was like, don't bury them in the gutter leaves. He, I think, is smart in that he's squirreling them away Yes. Nearby. So there's a couple of things that could happen. Neighborhood squirrels, they probably have a good sense of smell.
They probably wander up and go, hey. There's a peanut under this leaf, but there's only 1. And so they go grab that 1 peanut, and then maybe they leave. What I did notice was the the squirrel that was there that was burying the nuts, he had kind of a raggedy looking tail. Yeah.
Then hours later, there was a squirrel with a fluffy tail. Uh-huh. And I think that fluffy tail squirrel was digging up. Right. And I think that's the I think that's the ploy.
I think that's the move. The move is distracting I see what you're saying. With little treats out and about to keep him away from the big source in the middle. I see what you're saying. And he gets busy digging up and trying to treasure hunt, and then scraggly tail can come back and have the the big buffet because Fluffy is out, you know, searching for treasure, while scraggly tail is like, hey.
I'm fat and happy. It was fascinating. I loved watching that. I could've watched that all day. I did.
I did watch the majority of that. You did watch it for a long time. It was fascinating. You're like, there he goes. He's putting another one in.
He's right. He's putting another one over here. He put that one in my lamb's ear. He did in my plant. Covered it with a leaf.
I went to put away the bag of corn in the garage. Yeah. It fell over. Yeah. I remember you told me about that.
And I said, cool. I'll clean that up in the spring. No. I'll clean it up today. I was gonna clean it up the day that I dropped it, and it was too cold.
And today is the day it's nice and foggy and sweaty? I have a big puffy coat now. Oh, I see. Nice and warm when I go to clean it up. Oh, okay.
You can't get to it, actually. Yep. Because all my stuff's in the way, and so I'll be cleaning that up in the spring. Yeah. You probably will.
Yep. Sorry about that, bud. Yesterday, as soon as we get done opening presents, Emery takes all of our stuff to a room, loads it all up, and takes it right on into into a room. Handfuls and up the stairs we go. In her box and up she goes.
Yep. Immediately puts it away. Beck's stuff was kinda just around. We have 2 very different children. Yeah.
And he's always been like that. Yeah. It just made me curious because I had a friend who liked to leave her stuff by the tree when she was growing up, and we had this conversation a lot. Because I was kind of like Emery, not maybe immediately, but I like to put it away. I like to put my stuff in the room where it was supposed to go.
Not maybe away away, but I like to put it at least Yeah. She was really into, I wanna go set my stuff up. I wanna put my light up. I wanna put my things away. I wanna hang up my clothes.
I wanna do that stuff. I wanna get my stuff put away. And you are like that too. To a point, I also was real lazy, and I wanted to eat breakfast, and I was taking my time. And so I had put everything kind of organized together in a nice little pile, and then that pile went from the basement to the upstairs.
And then once it was upstairs, and I was kinda like, okay. I got some time now. I I'll put some stuff away. So that's when I put away the snowboarding stuff and put the fly fishing stuff. Did you do that when you were a kid?
Did you immediately put it all away, or did you I don't think I immediately put it away. Around. I think I kept We had to leave. So, like, Christmas morning would happen, and then we had a brunch thing. And so we always got to, like, bring something with us to the brunch.
Uh-huh. And so, that was always cool. And then when we got home from the brunch is when we actually got to, like, hang out with our stuff and try things, new setup, and then put stuff away. So it was never immediate, because there was just other stuff going on on Christmas day. See, we we were always just kind of at home.
We never got we never went anywhere for Christmas, which was kinda nice. But we all just kinda my sister and brother and I would just keep our stuff kind of around the tree. Because everybody's kinda hanging out in the same space. Everybody's hanging out in the common area. Yeah.
Yeah. Which that would make sense. I think what what happened was there was, like, I wanna go put this away, and then, also, I kinda feel like I happen to nap. And so after she got her stuff set up, she's like, I'm gonna snooze it out a little bit. I'm tired.
I woke up early. She had breakfast. Yeah. She it's slumbered away. Yeah.
And then woke up. I was like, cool. What's going on the rest of the day? Because I had a nap. All my stuff set up.
Yeah. I was never, but even yesterday yesterday, I just kinda put everything in the room where it belonged. Right. Not maybe awake, because it's exciting and new. So I don't wanna put it away.
I still wanna look at it. Be like, oh, yeah. I got this cool thing. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
I got this other cool thing. Oh, this is cool. Oh, wow. Yeah. You know?
I do. It's exciting and new. Yeah. There's a song about that. It's a love boat theme.
Exciting and new. That's all. It's just love. It's love. The love boat.
It's a timely reference. It is. Good job, Josh. I was going through my pictures of yesterday and going, god. I didn't take very many pictures, and then I'm sad that I don't ever take very many pictures.
I took 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. You took 10 pictures? 11. 11? 11 pictures.
I didn't take any pictures yesterday. You never take any pictures. I took, a couple of pictures on Christmas Eve. One of our daughter that she hates because teenagers are doing this, this point 5 thing, the forehead pictures, but her camera doesn't have a point 5. We didn't even take a, like, a family picture of all of us yesterday.
That makes me sad. My mom used to always take pictures. She would say, okay. Put all your presents around you, and then she would take a picture of us surrounded by our presents. And where are those pictures?
I pulled one out the other day. I showed it to you. Yeah. Oh, okay. And then But do you have like, did she do this all the way up till when you were, like, 17, 18?
I don't know. I didn't start when we were little. And what's what's her thought process on that? I don't know. Here's the kid with all this stuff.
You know? Because now you see things online. You get influenced by social media, and you go, oh, that's a good idea. I wanna take pictures like that. Exactly.
So back then, that wasn't a thing. No. So what did she see that she was like, pictures of the kids with the press. Would there be That's a good idea. I don't know.
It was kind of fun, but I was trying to see what even I got. Emery was looking at it with me, and she goes, what did you get? And I go, I don't know. There's, like, some pajama pants. Okay.
There were some books. There was some VHS movies. I think Alice in Wonderland. Let's go. In the hard plastic case?
Yes. Fancy. It was fancy. You guys are rich. I know.
And I think there was some lotions and candles. Yeah. We never had anything from the Disney Vault. We were so rich. Mhmm.
I know. Yeah. And we looked at the presents and went, oh, wow. Oh. Oh, wow.
That's good. I like that. That's funny. But I almost for a split second yesterday was like, yeah. We should gather the presents by the kids and take a photo so that we can all look back and go, ah, that was the year Emery got that record player.
Oh. Mhmm. That was the year back at that cool hoodie. Wow. Wow.
Wow. Or Or We don't do that. And we don't take any photos. And we just continue to not take any photos. What we did.
That's Oh, sad. No memories. None? You don't have the memories? I said 11 pictures.
No. I don't. 11 But you you can have memories without the photos. That's true. You can.
You can. That's what I was trying to explain. Here's one that I took of Emery not looking at the camera, another one of Emery not looking at the camera, you not looking at the camera, Beck not looking at the camera, my eyes shut. Great. Those are some great photos.
Winning at photos on Christmas. Well, good job. So we've had a couple of days off, and what I've noticed on those days off is that when I am at home, I eat a lot of food. Is that right? Yeah.
Well, see, that happened when we were, you know, during the pandemic and everything too. That was a big deal. That was it was convenient to be at home, except that the fridge was so close. It's so close. It's a problem.
Anytime you go into the kitchen, oh, well, there's snacks right here. I'll just have a snack on my way through the kitchen. Yeah. Do that 17 times a day. Yeah.
Well, quit walking through the kitchen. If you go through the living room, it's a little, less tempting. Yeah. But who wants to walk through the living room when there when there are snacks in the kitchen? I've been thinking about that, the Chex stuff that you made.
That I kinda want some more of that. I've been snacking on that by the handful. It's good stuff. Well, I've made it was scotch a roos, but they were Czech scotch a roos. Yeah.
I just want it. Yeah. I want more of it. It was fine except I couldn't get the chocolate and butterscotch concoction to spread adequately. I'm not mad about it.
I don't love it the way that I like it. Yeah. Just a regular scotch. Close your eyes, though. Okay.
And then just have some of it. And then you go, you know what? This is not all bad. It's so good. No.
I've been snacking on it. Don't get me wrong. Just because I don't love it doesn't mean I'm not eating it. Alright. Plus then when you're home alone or home and not working, you get a little bit bored and then you go, what could I do now?
I know. Food. Yeah. Yeah. More food.
Yeah. You gotta you gotta change your route. That's the big deal. If you if you switch up the route, you can avoid the snack stops. No.
But why would you want to when there are snacks? Because you just said, I need to stop snacking some I didn't say I needed to stop. I didn't want to say that. I just said what I've noticed is I smack a lot. I'm aware that this is happening, but it's on my way to where I'm going.
So I don't wanna there's no problem here. I thought there might have been a problem, but that's my fault. That's my fault. I misread what you were saying. I tried to be a fixer instead of a sympathizer.
My fault. Yeah. There's no there's nothing to be fixed. I'm just gonna keep taking my kitchen route. It's where the snacks are.
It's true. It is true, and there's plenty of them. So They're not gonna eat themselves, Josh. That's a fact. They're just gonna sit there and spoil?
No way. No way. No way. Get in my belly. I'll take care of it.
Don't worry. So Emery gets a record player yesterday for Christmas. She Vinyl records. She wanted a record player. Yeah.
Because it's a it's super trendy right now to do old media. Yep. She also wanted to just cameras. Yep. So she got both of those.
But then she takes it up to her room, and then I hear, dad? Dad, I don't know how to work this. So you had to go in and show her how to work it? Sure. I've used one for a lot of years, so no big deal.
So we were learning about it, and, then we quickly found out that it's got a little bit of an issue. So we're gonna have to swap that one out for a new one. But that's fine. That's that's just par for the course. But, nonetheless, yeah, a very, cool thing, and she's learning about old technology.
Like, wait a minute. I can't just skip stuff. And it it, to be fair, the record player also has Bluetooth in it, so she's got some connectability stuff, which is cool. And so she was, like, really excited to be able to also have a Bluetooth speaker, She didn't have one in her room, so she was excited about being able to crank up her music and whatever as well. Oh, maybe she doesn't.
She doesn't. Mom. No? Okay. So she was excited about that functionality as well.
Where's the play button? Yeah. Yeah. It was a little bit of a a learning thing. Like, you gotta take the little cover off the needle, and you gotta move it over onto the record.
Delicately put that needle on that record. Yeah. And then it follows along the grooves in the vinyl. It was a whole educational thing. She knows how to work it now, though?
I mean, I know that record player has a couple issues, and we have to return it. But she knows what she's doing? Uh-huh. I think so. Was she pleased with it?
I think so. Okay. As far as I can tell. Think is she might find that it's just easier to use her phone for music like she's been doing. I think that'll, that'll come in time, I think.
Because Beck has a record player too. He got one a couple of years ago, and he likes to collect vinyl. Sure. I don't ever hear him listen to that, though. I think it's covered with stuff.
We're not home sometimes at the same time that he is, and so maybe he's listening to it when we aren't there. But, again, I just I don't hear a lot of vinyl music being played in our house. That's true. Even mine. I don't I don't do nearly enough with mine, and I've got, quite a record collection.
But it was fun to kinda go like, and then here's how it works and kind of explore and explain and and go, then you can do this. Don't know. It's cool. What I want is the old record that I had when I was a kid, which was Garfold. Garfold?
Garfield. Oh, Garfold. Garfield. He went camping. Yeah.
And and there was a panther. There was a We looked this up. We listened to it. You thought he was scary, and then we listened to it, and you were like, I guess it's not that scary. It is too scary.
That's the noise, and you're like, that's frightening. When you're a little kid, it was scary. Oh. Oh, come on. Panther.
Rawr. What was that called? We looked it up the other day, didn't we? It's been probably at least a year since we looked up the Garfield camping with the Panther. It was scarier than that, Josh.
Was it? Yeah. It was. Because there might have been a heart Garfield in the rough. Why do you keep calling them Garfield?
Did I say it again? Yeah. I meant to say Garfield. Garfield. Garfield.
Like, he's part of that Simon and Garfield. If you have Garfield in the rough, a record, can I borrow it, please? You can listen to it on the Internet. Actually, you can. I know.
We did about a year or so ago. They actually made a cartoon movie about it. It's only 23 minutes. Oh, boy. No.
But that's that's not the same. When you had it on the record and you couldn't see the panther, you could only hear the panther. Wow. Oh, that's scary. It's not scary.
It's not scary. As a kid, scary. It's time for would you rather this or that. Now that Christmas, is over, what's the, what's the what's the theme? Guess what it is.
Do you wanna take a gander? A New Year's edition? Oh, okay. Good guess. Good guess.
You got it. Alright. Would you rather dress up as the New Year baby or father time? Father time. It's winter.
I'm not just wearing a diaper. That's awesome. I don't let's look what father time looks like. Like an old man with a long beard and a top hat. And then baby New Year also has the top hat, but then just a diaper.
So I'm not doing the I'm not doing the baby thing. Time has, like, a long cloak. Yeah. Yeah. He's he's got experience.
He knows. It gets cold. You gotta you gotta dress warm. Yeah. I'm gonna go with the New Year baby.
Yeah. Not the New Year baby. You are? No. I No.
You already said you already said Is that father time? You said you're gonna dress like the baby. No. No. Father time.
Father time. Now when you said father time, did you mean the baby? No. I meant father time. You meant you wanted to dress like a baby.
No. Because I want the beard. You want the beard? I want that big, old, long beard. I got the baby's haircut already.
If you have a long white beard Mhmm. People just automatically think that you're a wise and dulled man. So when you look at the guys in ZZ Top, you immediately think wise old men. No. You're right.
Never mind. I retract. When you're walking through the store and you see the guy in the Harley jacket, you you big long white beard. And I'm not saying that any of these people don't have wisdom to share and haven't seen things. I'm just trying to understand your immediate reaction is, well, that's a wise person.
If you if you have a long white beard, though, you could, like, stroke it and then be like, well Pondering things. Will. Yeah. What I think Mhmm. That's why I'm going with father time.
I see. Here's the other thing. If you are the baby new year, you get 1 year of existence. Right? I don't know.
I don't know. From baby new year to father time in the span of 365 days. You're aging quick. So you're not gonna be that baby for very long. No.
Like, a few weeks maybe, then you're out of that baby stage. K. What does that have to do with anything? Or your old man for a moment. That's what I'm saying.
Uh-oh. Your baby and then have the whole year or your old man for a moment. But in our in our would you rather game, it's just one day. You just get to dress up as this or that for one day. Oh.
Yeah. Yeah. I'm still sticking with father John. Thanks thanks for, would you rather this or that. We've we're at the end of the show, but there we're not done.
We're not done? No. No. Because there was one sad thing I have to say. Okay.
One Christmas present that I asked for that I did not receive. You, have spent many Christmases without this thing. Years. You've survived. Asked for this.
Many years, I've asked for this. You are so inclined to have this thing, I think you you know where to get it. I know. You've But the point is, I don't wanna buy my own Christmas presents. I wanted Right.
Somebody to buy it for me. What you did not receive is, this little nose warmer thing that you keep talking about because the tip of your nose gets cold Yes. All year round. Yep. And you want this thing that covers your nose.
It's made of yarn. It's knit or crocheted or whatever. Make it myself. There's that. And then it has strings that you tie behind your ears or around the back of your head.
Yep. There it is. It would have been so easy for you to buy that. It's a $4 thing. $10.10.
It it costs you less than that to make. You can get your yarn. I do have yarn. Just need to make, one of those one of those little, squares when you're doing A granny square? Just a small tiny, not even a full granny square, just big enough to fit over your nose, and then tie some strings on.
That's it. I could absolutely make this. That's what I'm saying. But the point is that I wanted somebody to buy it for me, and you did not. So Well Another year with a cold nose coming your way.
Of disappointment Uh-huh. From my family. Yeah. It's fine. It's fine.
I got you guys everything you wanted. Oh, man. Here we go. It's fine. Everything is fine.
Happy day after Christmas. I don't know how to crochet, or I would have made You could've ordered it on Etsy. There's a million of them. You could've even got a 10 pack. I saw some in 10 pack.
Different colors. To match your outfits. Exactly. And you won't look ridiculous at all. Matter.
Will my nose be warm? I don't care how I look. Clearly. Alright. Well, sorry that, it's it's another cold nose year for you.
I know. I'm just gonna make my own. Alright. Sad for shame. On your sad note Shame on you.
