History lesson. Falklands day. Geography lesson. Yeah. You you didn't even know.
But now you do. School. Now you know. Alright. Good morning.
Do you know Hellmann's? Hellman's? Yes. Like, salad dressing and Yes. Stuff like that?
Yes. Okay. You got it. Hellman's. Yes.
They have partnered with the Tennessee titans quarterback, Will Levi's right. Levis. I don't know anything about the Titans. I don't either. They have together released a fragrance based on, you guessed it, mayonnaise.
No. Yeah. Why? I don't know. I don't know.
It is a limited thing, but you can buy it online for only $8. $8. I bet it's sold out already because people like weird stuff. And That's gross. So there's that.
But who's walking around smelling like mayo? I don't know. Isn't it gross? The it's called Will Levi's number 8. And I don't know why they teamed up with him.
I don't know if he just loves mayonnaise. And so he was like, hey, guys. Maybe. We gotta make a mayo flavored cologne. Are they based out of Tennessee?
I don't know. Do do some research, and I'll tell you what the scent smells like. Okay. It has hints of tart lemon, coffee, musk, vanilla, a whisper of parsley. What is musk?
I know. I'm not. What is a whisper of parsley? Well, they set it next to some parsley. And then something they're calling mayonnaise accord.
I don't know what that is. Even make that smell? Ew. Ew. Do you have you ever smelled mayonnaise?
Yeah. It smells I that's what I'm saying. It's gross. I can't figure out where these guys are. I know why they did this.
Okay. Yeah. That's what I'm waiting for is the why. Last year, Will, the quarterback for the titans, went viral for suggesting that he squeezed mayonnaise, specifically Hellmann's mayonnaise, into his coffee. He even earned a lifetime supply of Hellmann's.
He later clarified that he didn't actually drink coffee with mayo. It was just a too stupid thing that he thought was funny, he said in quotes. But here's what I think. I think he actually did it, and then he got a lot of flack for it. And then he was like, hey.
I didn't I didn't that was just a joke. Hey. That was just a That dude puts mayonnaise in his coffee. Absolutely. And that's awful.
That is awful. Those those 2 shouldn't touch. Hellmann's is made in Europe. So, they they make it in Europe and in Canada. Well, the only reason that it's he's partnering with him is because he was like, I like Calvin's mayo in my coffee.
Yeah. That's it. That's the only reason. Well Ew, gross. But then why?
You don't need to make a perfume out of it. No. No one needs to roll around smelling like whipped eggs. Yeah. Yeah.
Gross. Delicious. Do you wanna get some and try it? It's only $8. I'll just rub some mayonnaise on.
How much do you like The Beatles? Yeah. I mean, I listen occasionally. They're not, like, my top number one band or anything, but I appreciate their music. I like You have a like their history.
Do you have a favorite Beatles song? Yeah. Probably, Eleanor Rigby. Yeah. That's number 11 on this list.
Of? Entertainment Weekly put out Oh. The 50 best Beatles songs. And I don't agree with it at all. Anytime, there's a list of best albums and Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Heart Club is up at the top, I go, there are newer albums.
Like, people have made more music. And so I think you get, like, this age thing attached to the Beatles. But you love so huge fans that just have to inject their own opinion about stuff. That's the thing about, like, top tens or favorite lists. Right.
It's all subjective, isn't it? Correct. Because my favorite Beatles song is Blackbird Yeah. And it's number 18. Right.
And I go What are the top 5? Top 5, a hard day's night k. A day in the life k. Which I don't even know that one. You do.
Do I? Yeah. Yesterday Yeah. I agree with that one. Strawberry Fields Forever That's number 2.
Agreed. No. Number 4. Sorry. I went number 1 down.
What was number 1? Why would you do that? That's so backwards. So number 5 was Something. I don't know.
What was it? And then number 4 I don't know that one. Strawberry Fields forever. 3 Yesterday. Then number 2 A date in the line.
And number 1 A hard day's day. We go. Alright. So, normally, you read a list. No.
Yeah. You work your way. You build the anticipation. And number 1 Hey, Jude is number 14. Yeah.
Yeah. Can't Buy Me Love is number 20. Let It Be is number 7. Yeah. I should not have read this list because you know why?
This is all subjective on whoever wrote this list. Okay. So the Rolling Stone did this back in 2010. Did they? Yes.
They did. And? Their number let's maybe find their top 3. Their top 3, I Wanna Hold Your Hand was number 3. I Wanna Hold Your Hand is not even top 20 in this list.
A Day in the Life was number 2. A Day in the life is And while my guitar gently weeps was their number 1. That's number 16 on this list. Yeah. See?
It makes no sense. No. It's all relative, isn't it? It's all subjective to whoever is making the list. Billboard hot 100 put out a list in 2023.
Everybody's done it. Oh, their list starts at 50, and you gotta scroll all the way down. Don't even worry about it. Go. Here we go.
I'm getting there. I'm getting there. Scrolling. They're number 3, she loves you. Number 2, I wanna hold your hand.
And number 1, hey, Jude. See? Put out a list. Read a list. They're all Yeah.
Yeah. They're all wrong. Do you like the Beatles? Go listen to the Beatles. Don't don't worry about somebody's list.
Don't listen to what everybody else says. What I'm saying. But, also, Blackbird is the best, followed by Eleanor Rigby. I would flip the 2, but that's just me. That is just you, and that's why it's subjective.
Josh Tielor's list is different than Chantel Tielor's list. I have nothing else to say about your Beatles. No. But I'm gonna go play you a day in the life so you can go, oh, that song? Okay.
Because that's what you do. Know that one. Yeah. Alright. I like good news.
Do you? I do. I don't. I hate it. No.
You don't. Bad news. No. You don't. What do you got today?
Well, this is a story about John Dennett. He's from Liverpool in England, and he recently celebrated his 100th birthday with friends and family k. Which is pretty awesome. Congratulations, buddy. They had old time music at the party, and he got to share stories about his wartime adventures on d day, which was quite the tale, I suppose.
And, his family and friends also had a kind of a special surprise for John. They invited people across the country, again, this is in England, to send in birthday cards and letters for John. He got 217 cards and letters from well wishers. Good job, John. That's pretty great.
He's been around for an entire century. He said he has no plans of slowing down. He said it's only now that I've reached a 100 that I realize that I'm old. Aw. And I will have to take it easy now.
And then he joked. He said, I just wanna reach 200. No way. Yeah. I just wanna live to be 200.
So happy birthday, John. I think that's pretty cool that the the community around you were able to get you 217 birthday cards and letters of well wishes. I think that's cool. Do you think he read all of them in one sitting, or was it, like no way. This is too many.
I mean, there's a picture of him with them all opened up and stuff. So I think he's read them all, by now, but, takes a minute. Yeah. You'd have to take some breaks and be like, yeah. Yeah.
I get it. Happy birthday to me. Yeah. You know, okay. Oh.
Could've gone with 20. No. Not really. I I think that's cool. It is cool.
It's good news to get you going on classy 97. This, is kinda blown up online right now. The the question was asked, did you have any weird rules that you had to follow at your home when you were a child? And there are some bizarro answers on here. Like, we weren't allowed to talk during meals because my parents said it would teach us discipline, but it just made dinners really awkward.
Yeah. Oh, no. That would be so sad. That's where I hear the most about my kids' days. Right.
Right. Like, you like, so this is this is the kind of stuff we're talking about. This person said we weren't allowed to chew gum after 4:30 because we wouldn't be getting enough use out of it before we had dinner at 6. What? You can't have gum.
It's after 4:30. You won't get enough out of that gum. They never had fruit stripe. This quick gum. If if you have the fruit stripe, you you put that in.
Its flavor's gone in, like, 4 bites and 4 chews, and you're like, alright. I got everything out of that. Did you have any weird rules? Been trying to think about it. Trying to think too.
I don't think that I The these guys said we never went out our front door ever. Really? Really? I would say like your sister's house. We never go through the front door.
No. That's true. That's true. So it's probably something like that. It's not that you weren't that you're not allowed to.
That's true. They're just you park by their backdoor more. Right. But you could go out the front door if you wanted. It's not like they say, don't go out the front door.
Yeah. This guy said his mom wouldn't let them watch any mice centric movies, the rescuers, American tail, etcetera, because our cat finds them offensive. Oh my gosh. There's a lot of good movies with mice. I know.
No. You missed out. How Sad. My my father refused to buy a weed eater or an edger, but he made me edge the yard with barber scissors. Not as a punishment.
It was just what we did on Saturdays. Weird. These are strange. Right? I had a I had an aunt, and when we would go to her house, she had a room that you could not go into.
Uh-huh. You were not allowed to go into that room. So we never went into that room. It was in the room? It was well, it was open.
It was like a living room. It was like a second living room that they had, like, a family room almost, but she had white carpet, white furniture, and you were not allowed to go in there. Yeah. My my grandma has one of those, And it's like a seating room with a bunch of, like, houseplants and nice furniture and stuff. And, like, you never go in there.
This seems so strange to me. Yeah. It's a big seating room. Yeah. If you tell a kid not to go do something, guess exactly anytime our cousins got together there, we were like, hey.
Do you wanna go in that room? Uh-huh. Let's go sneak in. This person said we weren't allowed to go in the living room unless we had company. We were not allowed in there unless company was over, which is interesting.
We couldn't walk in the living room. It was vacuumed in stripe patterns, so they'd always know if there were footprints. When I had to vacuum it, I wouldn't turn it on. I just push it to draw the stripes. You're just basically vacuuming.
Just turn it on. Yeah. Why not? This person said I wasn't allowed to say that I hate anything. And so, I hated mustard, but I had to say, I like it, but I don't prefer it.
Oh my gosh. Yeah. Strange. It is. Anyway, I'm gonna ask that question on the, classy 97 community Facebook, group.
So if you wanna chime in, you can head over there. Weird I wish I had something when you were a kid. Cannot think of anything. Yeah. Kind of strange as a little topic.
Parent. Have we had any rules that are sure we do. Straight. That we just think are normal. But I don't think so.
Yeah. But you never do. You never do until later on when you're talking to your therapist and you go, hey. This is a strange thing I just remembered. Or yeah.
Or my kids are talking to their therapist, and they're like, my parents did this. Yeah. We weren't allowed to do this. That's strange. You should write about it on the Internet.
Anyway, the classing 97 communities, our Facebook group, you can chime in there. We'll go post the question here in just a second. I've turned into that woman that has to have a sweater. I have to make sure I have a sweater everywhere I go. Yeah.
I've noticed that. You have a sweater here. Yes. And then your other job, you have a sweater there. Yeah.
And I leave them there. Right. I almost walked out with my sweater at my other job. Could you imagine? I and then I would have had no sweater.
What? You'd have to bring it back the next day? I would have forgotten to bring it back the next day. That's the whole point, isn't it? Why you have stay at work sweaters.
Yeah. And So this one here is like a cream color. The one you have there is like a charcoal gray. Yeah. And?
And what? How's it going? It's going it's going so good. Okay. But I just have to remember to leave them at work.
That's a that's a big responsibility. Draped over my chair Right. Where it's waiting for me the next day. Right. So today, you were a little chilly?
And so I said, oh, it's a good thing I have my work sweater. Is that what's happening? Yeah. I saw it here, I don't know, a week ago or so. I don't know how long it's been here, but I noticed it Uh-huh.
Was on your chair, and I went, I wonder she needs me to bring that home. No. I know. Could you imagine what would happen? You have to bring it back the next day.
And then I would be called. Oh. Oh. What? Well, I didn't.
I left it here. Good thing. I do remember, like, looking, I don't know, at younger in my younger days, you would you would notice sweaters draped across chairs, an empty chair, and you'd say, it's weird. Right? Like, that's weird.
Why is somebody leaving their sweater here? And now I get it. It's to keep your shoulders warm. And your arms. My arms get cold.
Or sleevelies. Yesterday, I had a skirt on, and I had to put it over my legs. Good thing you And then I said, I wish I had 2 sweaters. I wish I had 2 work sweaters here. Just get a blanket basket.
That sounds heavy. Some extra warm socks. I might need that in the winter months. I might be getting my electric blanket and bringing it here. Blanket.
And a cot. Oh, really? Do you think that I have a difficult name? Chantel? My name is Chantel.
Let's see. C h a n t e l. I'm trying to figure out if there's let me write it down here. Because I've seen, I've seen it spelled different ways. Spelling is a totally different thing.
I understand. It's been spelled a lot of different ways. But because there's a mispronounced my entire life. Yeah. And I don't think it's that difficult to say.
In the last couple of weeks alone, I've been called Shannon, Shauna, Chantelle, which I get that one a lot. Chantal? Yesterday, I got a Shawn-Tall. Very, broken into 2 words like that? Sean?
Shawn-Tall. Shawn-Tall. Was very emphasized. Shawn-Tall. And I went, no.
That's not it. I mean, I know it's Chantel. Yes. It's not a difficult name to say. You look at my name, and it's pretty phonetic.
Right? Chan. Chan. If I did it phonetically, it would be Chantel. But it's but I don't because I know it's Chantel.
But the c h in your name doesn't say ch. It says sh. Be quiet. I've been called Shanalay, Chanel, Shannon, Shauna, Chantel. Shawn-Tall.
Chantelle. That's very fancy. I don't I don't Chantelle. It's Shan. Sometimes people just call me Shan.
Right. I don't care for that one either. It's just 2 syllables. It's not a long name. You could just Chantel.
Yeah. Yeah. It's pretty Does it pretty easy. Does it help having it said properly, on the radio for you? What do you mean?
Like, like, now that we've kind of put out your name is Chantel, do you still get from people that you see regular regularly that called you Yes. I see. Chantel. Told you in the last couple of weeks. No.
No. I know. But are those people you see often or are those, like, new people that you run into that say it wrong? Those are new people. That's what so what I'm saying is people that said it wrong before, now that it's really, like, it's it's Josh and Chantel.
It's Chantel's out there. Is that is that helping? I don't know. To be fair, the people who the the woman who got me Chantel only saw it in writing form, so she didn't hear the the pronunciation of it. Interpretation.
But still, if you read it and look at it, you're not gonna say tall. It's t e l. That's true. It's also not Shawn. S h a w No.
N s h a u n s e a n. It's not Sean. No. It isn't. It's Chan.
Chan. So So if someone said Chantel, I would I would be like, okay. You got real close. I could see where you goofed up because it does say ch. Maybe that's what I should start saying.
Chantel? Pronounce it wrong. It sounds kinda like a sneeze. Hey. You got real close.
Chantel. Let's try. Chantel. Uh-huh. Excuse me.
But Chantel There was a when I went to college, there was a I lived in the dorms, and there was a safety assistant there. And he was kind of his job was to monitor the ins and outs of the dorms just to make sure we were safe. And he was from India, so he had an accent. And he called me, and now I am gonna mispronounce his mispronunciation. You say it.
What? Chan Chantel? No. He would say Chantel. That's Chantel.
Chantel. Yeah. And I liked it. I that was the only mis pronunciation I would allow because he he had an accent Right. But I liked it.
Well, Chan? No. It's not that. Okay. It's not that.
Just trying to throw some new things out. What are you supposed to do when somebody mispronounces your name? You go, oh, did you mean I don't know. I know. You hang up on them.
I don't know what you do. You go, oh, is this Chantal? And you go, nope. Click. It's a little callback.
I'm trying to get ahold of Shauna. Nope. Click. Go back. Try again.
I don't know what you do. Out. You you politely correct them and say, I prefer to be called Chantel. Or do you say or do you just if they say, is this Chantal? I say, Chantel.
Yes. Here Pete, I don't know. But oh, do you mean Chantal? Because that's me. I don't know who Chantal is.
Yeah. That's a you got it way wrong. Yeah. Pal. Yeah.
Not even thinking of that. Don't be hey, pal. Hey, pal. Come on. Come on.
Get it together, pal. It's just it's not hard. It's not a difficult name. Chantel. Bless you.
I think that I'm bad luck for the Minnesota Vikings. You do? Yes. You think that it's your fault? I don't think it's my fault.
I don't know what happened to them before I became a fan, but I became a fan of the Minnesota Vikings. Right. And then their quarterback went out. Cousins, torn Achilles. Yeah.
And then well, Justin Jefferson went down first, and then Kirk Cousins went down. Watching football when you were watching after Jefferson started. No. I feel like I watched a couple of games with him in it. Maybe not.
No. Okay. Now new quarterback, JJ McCarthy, we just drafted, and he's been killing it. Yeah. I don't know if you've seen him in preseason.
I showed you his preseason and and practice stuff. Good. Yeah. Nope. Do you know what happened the other day?
What? He said, my my leg kinda hurts. And they said, what? And he said, yeah. When I'm throwing, it feels weird.
And so they said, well, let's go get you looked at, buddy. And what'd they find? They found a torn meniscus in his right knee. Yeah. So he's gonna be out for a little while.
That's a potential season long injury. No. It has potential to be a season long injury. Beck says it's only 3 to 4 weeks. It has potential to be a season long injury Depending on how he recovers, depending on how his physical therapy after surgery goes, depending on all of these factors, Homeboy's out at least 6 to 8 weeks.
Can you At least. Can you imagine being a young kid, you're drafted from college to an NFL sports team. You're living your best life, your preseason, you're showing up, you're you're making amazing passes, you're doing so good, all your new teammates are like, bro, welcome to the team. Yeah. And then you're like, yeah.
Something doesn't feel right. And then you have to be out for torn meniscus surgery. Yeah. What a kick in the pants. Yeah.
No. It's not it's not great for him. It's not great for your team because he's a star. That kid is gonna be I mean, look. Get this out of the way now so you don't have to worry about it later, I guess.
But holy smokes. I know. Yeah. Yeah. My leg feels weird.
You think? Oh, man. It's because your meniscus is torn. I don't even know what your meniscus is. Yeah.
Like your kneecap? Like, your it's all part of your knee, but I think your meniscus meniscus is is the cartilage located in the knee that acts as the shock absorber Oh, no. Between the shin bone and the thigh bone. Oh, no. Yeah.
You gotta get that taken care of, buddy. You you can't have that torn. That's gonna hurt. Yeah. No.
That's that's no good. Sorry about your team. I know. I tell you. I know.
I fine. We're gonna be just fine. Come on, McCarthy. You'll be fine. He's young.
He's gonna he's gonna heal, like, no boundaries. Toddler? Yeah. Okay. Resilient.
He's a spry young man. He's got old knees. No. No. No.
They've just been working him a little too hard. He's been trying to show off a little bit, so he just needs some recovery time. He'll be fine. He's spry. I heard about that.
Is there a weird smell that you like? Don't say, like, fresh cut grass No. Because a lot of people like that. I really like the smell of, lumber. Oh.
Like, you go to, to a hardware store Okay. And you go to the lumber section. It smells nice. I like the smell of lumber. Any specific type of lumber?
Wood. The wooden kind. I like them all. I don't know if there's, like, I don't know. There's something about, like, even when you're building a project and you get that sawdust and you you just smells like like work.
Hard work. Smells like hard work and lumber. Man. Yeah. Alright.
Like, the smell of lumber. Okay. It's a good one. Yeah. I'm trying to think.
There's what about you? I I don't know. Let me think. The reason I asked is because yesterday, I was sitting on the couch with Emery, and she put her head down on my shoulder. And I leaned over and subconsciously smelled her head.
Like a like it was a baby. Yeah. A baby's head smells different than a 14 year old's head. It does. Yeah.
But I remembered that, like, obviously, I like the smell of a baby's head because they just they just smell so nice, but I really liked this is gonna sound so weird, but this is why I'm talking about it because it's a weird smell. But when they were toddlers, when my kids were toddlers, and they would have, like, a little sweaty Right. Head, I like A baby head smells different. That smell. Yeah.
I just like the sweaty toddler head smell. And I smelled the 14 year old head, and I said, that smells like it smells nice because she's a clean girl, and she takes good care of herself. And it smelled really pleasant, but I I missed her slutty toddler head smell. What about, like, like, books? Like, books have a certain smell.
Some of them you're like, woah. That's an old book smell. That's a little funky. Yeah. But books have a, like, real distinct Yeah.
I like some of the book. Ink and whatever it is smell. Yep. Do you do you ever smell, or like the smell of, like, a blown out candle? Yes.
You do? Yes. I don't I don't I can't get into that. Really? It's it's a it's a little too sharp on the old factories for me.
Not not into that one. You know, another the smell I don't like? What? Rubber bands. You don't like the smell of that?
I do not. I'll tell you what else is weird that I like. I like the smell of latex after it's been on your fingers. Like, if you have gloves, you can take the gloves off and your fingers smell like it. Yeah.
I don't like that. Or like balloons? No. Oh, see. I don't mind that.
I don't like it. If I'm cutting garlic I hate that. And then my fingers will smell like that. I like it. I have to like, there there's I don't know if it's an old wives' tale thing or whatever, but, if you rub on a spoon Yeah.
It can take the smell away. And so I hate I hate when my hands smell like that. It. Or I don't care for it. And I go, and then I'll randomly smell my fingers for the cement.
Cement. The scent. The scent. I like the cement tip. I was gonna say smell and scent.
That's right. I that's I don't know. I'm trying to think if there's anything else. Like, obviously, rain is awesome. I like the smell of rain, but mostly That's weird.
Wet dirt. Right? Yeah. I don't know. Like, you you have a dirt thing.
What? You you like dirt. I don't know. You have a a thing with dirt. A dirt thing, I guess.
I don't dirt when it's been raining. I have like That's it. That's my dirt thing. I feel like I shouldn't like it, and I don't love it, but there's something about rubber cement. Like, the old rubber cement with the metal top with the brush attached to it.
Do they still make that? I'm sure they have to. Right? I don't know. That had a smell, though, that was very unique, and it wasn't like I was walking around smelling it.
Mhmm. But that's one that was like, I probably shouldn't enjoy this. And I don't, like, love it, But also, it's intriguing. And my brain kind of has an itch. Like, this this is okay.
I don't hate it. They do still make it. The in the in the little can with the metal? Yeah. Can.
I wonder if it still smells the same, though. Of course, it does. It has to. It's made of the same stuff. It's made from elastic polymers mixed with a solvent such as acetone, hexane, heptane, or toolane to keep it fluid enough to be used.
Neat. We've we had science. We've had chemistry with it. Math. Coming soon.
There was a 12 year old boy in Massachusetts named Danny. Hi, Danny. And he set up a homemade ice cream stand outside of his house to help raise money for his brother's special needs hockey team. Wow. Okay.
It got shut down after somebody in his neighborhood complained to the health department. Who is this demon? So the owners of our local restaurant called Longboards heard about it and said, we're not gonna stand for this. So they're donating 25% of the proceeds from their signature dessert to help with his cause. That's awesome.
And told Danny, if you need a place to set up your ice cream shop, you can absolutely do that in our parking lot. Yeah. So I'm sure, like, what they were looking at was, like, there are health codes, and you have to have a food handling permit, which is which is not inaccurate. It's not. However, this is a kid doing something really special.
Yeah. So maybe instead of being like a big jerk, maybe you just go like, hey, let me help you get this so that you don't have problems with people like me because I care about this, and this is important to me. So I'm gonna help you get the right certification so you can continue to do this. That's how you do what you wanted to do but be a good person. Mhmm.
Come on, man. No. Shut down the kid. We're trying to help his brother's special needs hockey team. Don't be a demon.
That's right. Be a helper. Yeah. If you don't like it, there's a way you can go about fixing the thing you don't like without hurting people. Like, come on.
Yeah. What in the world? I'm I'm disappointed in that person. I know. Anyway So I'm glad that there are people who stepped up.
Someone in the neighborhood. Yeah. That's all the information we have about this person. Neighborhood HOA president, probably. Anyway, that's that's a conversation for a different day.
We don't even have an HOA. I know. But you're I'm so glad we don't have an HOA. Can you imagine? Because we have a lot of friends with HOAs, and they The the people I would have to complain about every day.
Anyway, no. I'm glad that that that restaurant said, hey. We got you. Hey. We got you.
We'll help take care of you, buddy. Yep. That's cool. And they're helping out by making a donation to his cause, which I think is awesome too. So good job.
I'm I'm I'm glad that had a good end because if it was just the shutdown part, I'd be like, come on. Well, I wouldn't have told the story if that were the case. Yeah. Well, you might have. I don't know what I don't know what you read over there.
You just never know. That's true. But I'm glad that I'm glad that it's a positive end. What if I was on the side of the demon? And I was like, some kid Yeah.
Stop this. Illegally Yeah. Sell ice cream to help his brother's special needs hockey team. Okay. And it needs to be shut down.
I would have said quit being a demon. I got an HOA that you could start if you really wanna get crazy. We've talked about the mess at Everest Yeah. And how there's just I mean, all these oxygen bottles and all of this garbage and debris and stuff just left behind. Not to mention the people that have not made it to the top or made it to the top and not made it back down that are just left there because it's a lot of work to remove a body from, the mountain.
There's a lot of stuff, though. So there is actually some groups in Nepal and China that have gotten together, and they are using drones that are specifically designed. They're heavy lifting drones. Really? Yeah.
Which is kinda cool. So they can, work on cleaning up Mount Everest, which is fantastic. That is really cool. Also, if they're a heavy lifting drone, maybe they could just pick me up and put me on top of the mountain. Right?
Is that right? Could say that I've been there. Okay. And then they can lift me up and take me off of the mountain. Yeah.
Well, let me tell you say that I've been there. Let me tell you their weight limit here because the air is we're talking 30,000 feet, and the air is very thin at 30,000 feet. That's why people have oxygen and stuff because there's not a lot to breathe up there. But the Sherpas will be trained in these, drones, trained to operate these drones, so they can carry trash off of, Mount Everest without putting their lives at risk, and there's a lot of garbage up there. So this is a huge job, but the drones can carry about £60 at a time Oh, man.
From camp 1, which is down low, and they can carry a bit less than that as the altitude increases at camp 2. Okay. And so they're gonna start, but that like, even at the most they could carry is £60. Gonna lift the body off of the bottle. That's what I said.
They're not they they they can't, but they can lift bottles and they can lift other stuff. So they'll probably have, you know, people up there doing cargo net type stuff. The drones will come up and pack stuff down so you know, fly stuff down so they don't have to carry it and put their human bodies in danger trying to get all that stuff off there. It's it's wild. It is crazy.
There's so much garbage up there. It's it's sad. Well and there's just so many people trying to make it to the top now. Yeah. And you it takes months and so much money.
It's crazy. I saw a picture of it not too long ago, and there was just a line Yeah. Of people. And then you get people we were talking about it too that, like, you get people that'll hit the summit and wanna spend an hour up there, and you get, like like, 5 minutes. You gotta move.
Yeah. Well and, yeah, you're you're hit that altitude for too long. You're you're not gonna make it. But, yeah, there's a whole line of people. It's wild.
You're too close to the sun. You're gonna get blind. Well, they wear, you know, lots of Protection. Protection for that, like the the big dark goggles and stuff. But the amount of garbage up there, it's it's it's a lot a lot of garbage.
Because we also have I mean, people, as you move through the base camps, they're cooking there. Mhmm. You know, they they have like, you have to live there for a while. And so living and cooking and consuming things and all those it creates garbage. And they have no way to get it down the mountain until now.
So they're working on cleaning it up, which is a huge project. I feel like they need more rules in place. Yeah. I don't know what those are. But well, I I'm glad they're starting with a cleanup effort.
I'm positive there are people that are working on making it less Congested? Yeah. They have to. They have to. It's too much.
I have, this weird thing that I learned about. What is that? South Korea, some researchers there are working on a new technique called transcranial random noise stimulation. What does it do? It uses gentle electrical currents in your brain to curb your appetite.
Oh, I need some of that. And the current would be transferred via this high-tech headband that you wear. So you'll look cool. But the idea is they're they're trying to say, hey. Look.
Ozempic and these kinds of things have potential to be harmful to your body in different ways. Instead, put some electricity in your brain. See what happens. The technology is not yet complete. It needs further research and verification.
But if this electrostimulation treatment equipment, has few fewer side effects than existing obesity treatments, it's and is commercialized, it could be like you just buy this thing, and you get to do this at home. You buy the electricity headband? Yep. And then it would be a simple method for daily appetite suppression management according to a doctor working on it in South Korea. I like the name of it, transcranial random noise stimulation.
Or TRNS. Yeah. TRNS. What does it do? It just really shocks your brain into thinking, like, if your if your stomach growls It is you send a shock to your brain that says, no.
You're not hungry. Kinda. I don't know that you have to trigger it yourself. I don't really know how it's all working, but it says specifically it will use gentle electrical currents to curb your appetite by stimulating specific areas of your brain. Fascinating.
In a cool looking headband. Yeah. I've heard it looks cool. Do you have a picture of it? I do not.
Oh, does the headband go across your forehead? I that's what it sounds like. Yeah. Let me see if I can find a picture of this headband. And do you have to wear it all day?
Probably, if you wanna suppress your hunger all day. I feel like Well, so they've used these this particular technology as kinda headband, in other things in in hospital settings. So I think they're just trying to find out if this could work as a hunger suppressant as well. So it probably works in hospitals as, like, a pain receptor Maybe. Distraction Maybe.
Possibly. Could be something like that. So It could be a nerve thing. It could be, you know, if someone was was paralyzed and maybe they thought, let's see if we have connection through the brain, maybe they use it for stuff like that. I'm not I'm not totally sure.
I I kinda wish they went beyond the headband design and went with that swim cap look with all the plugs on it. I like that thing a little bit better than just a headband. I'm thinking when you said swim cap with all the things, it made me think of, Rick Moranis' character from Ghostbusters. Right. A colander.
Yeah. A metal colander with all the tubes and wires and spark plugs. Fantastic. Doc Brown had one of those in Back to the Future as well. And I'm pretty sure Rick Moranis also used one of those in Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.
Probably. So let's just do it. It sounds like the right thing. Plus, man, he'd look so cool. If you had a colander on your head all day.
I don't know. They got I I don't have a design to actually see what this thing looks like. What I'm seeing right now, it's not very stylish. It's not something you're gonna, like, wanna wear out. Well, joy.
I mean, if you thought headgear was bad, wait till you see my transcranial random noise stimulation headband. By the way, cool name. Cool, cool name. I like it. Josh, as we get older, I start to notice more and more wrinkles.
I remember you before you had crow's feet. Excuse me. No. I like it. I like your crow's feet.
Oh. I do. Oh, do you? Yes. I'm just saying, every day we wake up and we go, oh.
I don't. Speak for yourself. No. I'm I am speaking for myself. Wake up We?
And then You had a mouse in your pocket? Who's we? Alright. Myself, I wake up and I look in the mirror and I go, oh, man. Didn't notice that wrinkle yesterday.
That's a new one. And then the next day, wake up and they go, oh, man. That's a little more saggy here today than yesterday. Yeah. So listen.
There is a thing that people are using to reduce the appearance of their wrinkles, forehead and jostle. Come on. This is like that snoring tape. Have you seen this? People are taping their mouth shut.
No. Why? Mouth tape, they call it. No. Not It's mouth tape, and it's, it you tape your mouth shut when you go to bed.
This sounds horrifyingly claustrophobic. What if you have a stuffy nose? Don't use it. It you drown. Although, you were snoring the other day, and you were making this noise when you were snoring out of your mouth.
Yeah. The air has to come out. I just feel like maybe the tape might not be bad. That's rude. The snoring tape.
I don't wanna wear mouth tape. Okay. I agree. I would feel like a hostage. Do you wanna wear forehead and jaw tape?
No. Why? Let's let's talk about forehead and jaw tape. Talk about it. What do you wanna know?
What does it look like? What's it made of? How long does it last? Do you have to do it every day? You do it at night when you sleep.
Well, who's gonna see you then? Well, that's the point that people don't see it. It's it looks like a giant, you know what it looks like? No. Tell me.
It looks like a airhead. That's what it looks like. The tape does? The tape looks like a big old long stretch of Airhead, the candy. And you put it on your forehead to reduce the appearance there, and then you tape it on your jaw to reduce sagage on your jaw.
And then you can put it by your eyes to reduce your crow's feet, and you just basically, like, tape up your eyes like this. Right? Like, you hold your skin up and then you tape it down. Now I'm telling you this isn't gonna work. No.
Duh. Because here's what I've I I looked up facelift tape because I I thought that you know, that's something. Yeah. This you wear during the day, and you you conceal it with your makeup. But what it is, it looks like miniature fly swatters.
It's the best way I can explain what this looks like. There's, a little like, the fly swatter end is the tape that you stick on your face, and then the flyswatter handle pulls back, and then you can, like, I think it hooks into your hair or something. It's very strange. How much? No.
They make they make tape for your neck too, instant neck lift tape. Well, that's what this they have this jaw tape stuff. So it you tape it on your jaw. Okay. So that says that there's scientists that are like, listen.
This doesn't work because you can't people think that this is going to retrain your muscles. No. It's not. Wear it to bed, you're just gonna retrain your muscles to, like, retain that shape when you wake up. But he said when you put something over your skin, you're not affecting the muscle that's triggering the contraction.
So even when you remove the tape, even if your appearance of your skin is temporarily being flattened by whatever device you're using to add pressure to it, the actual root of the cause of the wrinkles is not being addressed, which is the muscle contraction itself. Also, when you're sleeping, your eye and jaw muscles aren't necessarily doing a lot anyway, so you're not targeting your face muscles This when you sleep. This double chin tape, I mean, it looks like gaffer tape, and they they are just running it around their neck. This feels unsafe. That's so strange.
The people look ridiculous doing it, and it's not gonna work. No. And, also stop it. Also okay. Like, age is is earned.
Right? This is what the one I'm talking about looks like. Airheads. Right? I guess.
That that sort of looks like a weird anatomy book of your face muscles. No. Yeah. It looks like Airhead tape. No.
You gotta see the tape I'm looking at. This stuff's ridiculous. This looks like a big old chunk of Laffy Taffy slapped on your face. This is weird. I'm not.
I don't know. Oh, beauty. Why? Why? Just just call people.
People everybody does it. You just are gonna have to go, you know what? I got a wrinkle. I got 4 chins. It's just life.
I've just lived a life. Right. You should be jealous you only have one chin. I have 4. Hey.
It's time for would you rather this or that? Would you rather lose every game you play or burn everything you cook? Oh, no. I feel like both of these, if this were to happen, you would eventually stop doing the thing. You would eventually stop cooking.
You would eventually stop playing games. I like playing games. I usually lose anyway, so I'm picking that one. Okay. But every game against me, you lose.
I already do anyway. I already do. There was a game we played over the weekend, and, we haven't played this game. This is that motorcycle game you were talking about. Uh-huh.
And, and we played and you you played against, our son back. And did you beat him or lose? You lost. I did. And then I played and I haven't played this game for years.
Yeah. Me neither. And I right. But you had had a game against him. You had you had you had warmed up your thumbs, your controller.
We played a game. You beat me and danced around the living room like you were trying to summon Reign. What was that about? I was happy that I beat you. Because then we did 2 rematches, and I destroyed you.
And then who was dancing? Not you, rainmeister. Not you. So you get that feeling every time you play a game, or you burn everything you cook. I I'm gonna lose every game I play You are?
Because I already do. I'm telling you, I already do. And who cares? I'm I'm just there having fun. Games because I I'm way too into the food I cook and cook for other people, and I really enjoy that.
So I just won't play any games. I know. And that's sad. Yep. I lose all that joy in my life, but I can cook for other people, and that makes me happy.
Okay. I like your cooking. So I agree. I can't burn that food. I approve this.
Doesn't burn those bridges. I can't burn that food. Danced around like I was summoning rain. I saw it. It was a lot.
You had you you threw the controller down, and your shoulders went up and you went. Yeah. Yeah. It was a lot. Chantel, I think I'm gonna be, wealthy beyond our wildest dreams.
Why? Why? Because I happen to own some things that are very, very popular right now. Wait a sec. What are you what are you trying to do now?
Scheming? Yes. So, cool kids these days are, bringing back cassette tapes. Are they really? Yes.
No way. Yahweh. This is insane, actually. 430,000 cassettes were sold in the US last year. What?
That's about 5 times the number bought about a decade ago. So it's it's coming back in a big way. Gen z, dude, we've been talking about this. Our son is all about physical media. He is.
He likes the CDs. He likes the records. He likes the old school video game stuff. He's a tangible, I want to have media around kinda guy. I want to own the DVDs and Blu rays.
It's it's a we like, everything we went from, I have to carry around binders of CDs and cases of cassettes. Yeah. Just to listen to stuff in my car. Yeah. Like, that went away, and we're like, sweet.
Bluetooth. Yeah. What a thing. We don't have to deal with all that. Worry about our seats getting scratched.
They're like, no. We want the analog back. Analog is cool. Oh. Yeah.
Dang it. I got a box of this stuff. They don't want what you have. No. You don't even know.
So, they are very enthusiastic about this. And the Walkman, which, by the way, what a great piece of technology and the Discman that followed. Wait till they hear about Discman. The Walkman, selling on eBay right now. $40 and up for a Walkman.
What? Yes. Taylor Swift, you heard of her? Yeah. Yeah.
She wasn't even born when the Walkman was invented, 1989. It was before that. However I don't wanna talk. Selling cassette last year, 1989, and speak now, And the Barbie soundtrack. Those are the top 3 selling cassettes.
I don't want to talk back. Yeah. You have to rewind that. And you can't skip. And you can't skip.
You just but forward to get to the song that you like, and then you can never get it perfect where you need it to be. If it weren't for cassettes, I never would have known about secret hidden tracks at the end of albums. Because because you you wait for it to flip automatically, and you're just listening to your songs. And now all of a sudden, you're like, oh, the the cassette's done, but it keeps playing. And you're like, there's still tape on here because there's more on the other side that they still had recorded, you know, more songs, so it took more time or whatever.
Yeah. But then you're like, I'll just let it flip automatically, and all of a sudden you're like, wait. This is secret song. They put a song at the end of this song. Wait.
You had an automatic flipper? Oh. I did. That was rich. Do you stuff.
I didn't have one of those. I had to eject and manually flip it over. I I grew up with a bit of an auto audiophile for a for a dad. You rich. No.
No. He just was really into home stereo equipment and, and car stereos. And so, yeah, I I had a lot of that stuff around. I didn't. My parents were not my parents were old.
Yeah. We got big audiophile. Lots of lots of that technology. 6 disc changers, big deal. I know.
Cartridges. Come on. My dad had a reel to reel. So Come likes to take that out every now and then, and we would listen to leader of the pack on reel to reel. Kids hear about reel to reel?
They're gonna let. I know. They're gonna lose their minds. Edison Tubes, they're gonna go nuts. Bunch of really fragile player pianos.
Wow. They're you don't even know. Gramma phones. What? And grandpa phones too.
