This is Wake Up Classy 97, the podcast, and you can get in touch with us on the podcast anytime.
Just email us, wakeupclassy97 at gmail.com. That's right. We'd like to hear from you. Yeah. Hey, there's a new film. It's called Slay Day, and it will hit screens in the fall next year, but it isn't just a movie.
It is being described as what they're calling an interactive slasher film, where viewers get to influence what actually happens next. Okay, time out though. They tried this on Netflix a couple years ago, and it wasn't as cool as I wanted it to be.
Okay. So I think this works in theaters. So the audience doesn't just sit back, you actually choose, and the horror movie unfolds in front of you based on your decisions.
Okay, but if you've got a theater full of people, do you have to agree? I don't know. That's good. I don't know.
Or is there some sort of device, and you use your phone. Oh, I see. You see, like it's going to be right. And the majority wins. It's going to be some sort of voting or something like that. Anyway, after it's run in theaters, the plan is to release it in both traditional streaming services and gaming platforms like PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam for PC. And if it works, this could actually be a new thing that could blur the line between film and gaming and become a whole new subgenre of storytelling, where you get to choose your own movie adventure.
It's like those books from the 80s. Yeah, I know, right? Did you ever... I always picked my adventure, and then I had to go through and pick all the other adventures so I could see what happened. I only read like one or two of them ever. Oh, I read a lot of them. They were fun. Yeah? Yeah, but then I just read all of the adventures. I mostly just got books with pictures of airplanes and stuff.
Oh, cool. Hey, you married me. It's your fault. I didn't know what you read as a kid.
I should have asked. Books about being pilots. What's your book collection? A bunch of stuff with airplanes in it. Anyway, kind of an interesting concept.
I'm intrigued. It's called Slay Day. It will be in theaters fall next year. And I'm sure that's going to come with an R rating because it will.
It's a horror. Yeah, I'm sure. I was trying to see who was going to be in it. I don't know any of these names, but there will be actors in it. Oh, OK. Yeah. All right. Well, hey, let's start the show. How about let's begin? Oh, hey, what's up? How's it going? How are you? Just fine.
I'm just fine. Oh, yeah? Yeah? Yeah?
Yeah. OK. How are you? Good. OK. Came out swinging. Yeah.
Well, I feel like I'm super extra sleepy this morning. OK. So you're trying to hand it off? And so I'm trying to let, whoa, bring the party. OK. How's it going?
It's so good. I have a hard time believing you. Why? I just do.
Now I'm here. Yeah. It was a, whoa.
It was a, whoa. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's up, Friday? Uh-huh. I'm here. Me too.
Do this. OK. All right. Uh, what is happening today? What is happening today? Something called bathtub party day.
I love a bathtub party. Yeah? Solo. Right.
Solo bathtub party day. Yep. I want to find out a little bit more about that.
OK. It's the unofficial holiday celebrated annually on December 5th, encouraging people to relax and enjoy a pampering bath instead of a quick shower. They say add bubbles, oils, candles, music, and even inviting friends for a... No. No. Bath that party for what? All right. How do you relax?
You don't. It's a day of stress relief, fun, and embracing wellness through leisurely soaking. Yes. Yeah. Let's have a nice leisure.
Mood elevation, muscle relaxation, all benefits they say of a bath. Yes. Sounds great. Have like a hot tub? No.
You're not invited to the bathtub party. I know. I am aware. It is also candle day. It is the season of candles. Look, if you're going to be burning candles, just be careful.
That's all I'm saying. Candles are an open flame in your house. And just be careful. And sometimes you forget that they're even on. So, be extra careful.
Just be aware. I've seen a lot of people switching over those candle warmers. Yep.
We have some of those. No, not the wax warmer. Like there's actually like a little base with a lamp on top. Yeah.
I've seen those. I used to have one of those before they had a lamp. You would just have the little base. Uh-huh. Now they've made it all cute with a little lamp. Right. But before that, it was just a base.
Yeah, I've seen the lamp is what I was trying to say. And I think that's a safer idea than an open flame. Why?
Because it's just a lamp. No, no, no. I get what you're saying. There's no open flame. That's exactly why. Anyway, kind of neat. You still get the aromas of your candle, but without all the fire. I actually put one of those on my Christmas list. What, the candle warmer?
With the lamp. Really? It is cute.
It is a cute thing. Yep. Anyway, candles, bathtubs, and blue jeans. Blue jeans?
Yep. Blue jean day. Baby. Forever in blue jeans, baby.
Well, then we gotta play. Two different blue jean songs. Blue jean song, where are you singing? Oh, I can't remember. I feel like it was the same song and you just didn't know it all the way.
No, I don't think so. You were singing Neil Diamond. Yeah, I was. I wasn't.
What were you singing? I'll look it up. Okay.
And then I'll let you know. Anyway, it's a good day to wear some jeans. Let's listen to that Neil. I love that Neil Diamond song. Well, it's not exactly a Christmas song. It doesn't matter. But I'm sure we'll have some blue Christmas in here, which is kind of close.
It's not the same. From Elvis. Was he a big jeans guy, Elvis?
No, polyester. You think he had to have the free flowing movement? Jeans would have constricted that. He had to do some karate kick.
Yeah, he did do karate. That is correct. All right. Well, hey, good morning.
It's Josh and Chantel. Friday. We got a little extra moisture in the air this morning.
Yes. It's kind of a weird, like rainy ice kind of thing. And there was some snow on the windshields as well. So that was new, a little fresh that had fallen overnight. Did you know that meteorologists are having a really hard time right now trying to figure out if we're going to have a white Christmas around different parts of the country that typically have a white Christmas?
Why are they having a different time? Because right now about 40% of the U.S. has snow on the ground, which is a pretty decent amount. But predicting Christmas Day conditions is tricky because weather patterns leading up to the holiday. Historically, your best shot at a snowy scene are in places like Minnesota, Maine, upstate New York, Idaho, ski towns in New England, and the Rockies. Ski towns in Colorado have a really strong chance, like up in the way, up in the 90s percent chance. But then there are other cities that like Miami, Houston, L.A., where they don't typically get snow. And as of right now, there's a 0% chance of a white Christmas in those places. Oh, no.
Yeah. But Denver, 34% this year. There's a good chance there won't be a white Christmas in Denver, which is unusual. Chicago is only at 33% chance of a white Christmas right now. What percentage are we? Well, we're pretty high up there because of our elevation and everything.
Well, Denver's got a lot of elevation. Yeah. So what gives?
Maybe our proximity to ocean water because that's where a lot of the storms move in from is the ocean water gets up into the atmosphere and then cruises over our direction. Okay. Okay. So why are meteorologists having a rough time trying to? They're just because of the weird weather patterns this year.
Oh, gotcha. The weather patterns are all wonky. I blame Santa.
Oh, you do? Yeah, I think he's got a magical plan and he's like, ah, you guys can't predict me. How's he controlling the weather? He's magic, bro.
I understand. I haven't heard that one. You don't know what he can do.
You don't know what he's capable of. So that's my theory. Yeah. Well, for now, we have some snow on the ground. If it sticks around for 20 days, why Christmas? If not, Brown Christmas.
Brown Christmas, by the way, 20 days to Christmas. I know. I have to do so much shopping, bro. 20 days. I know.
I know. And then I had some plans come up for this weekend and you went, but what about all the shopping we got? Yeah, we already had a plan to go shopping and you were like, oh, I know I'm not doing anything. I'll go do this instead. And I went, cool. We had a plan, but way to blow it up.
I think we didn't have a plan. You had sent me a text that said shopping this weekend. And you said, yeah. And I said, sure thing, yeah. That sounds like a plan to me.
That's not like, hey, let's get out early. Let's do this stuff on Saturday. Let's do this on Sunday. It was just a, we doing that this weekend? And you said, yes.
Yeah. Plan made. We had some details to arrange.
Yes. But you had committed to a plan. And then somebody else said, hey, you want to do this other thing?
And you went, yeah, I got another note going on. That's not what I said. Oh. I said, yeah, we should do that. And then that got a time.
That's got a Saturday at two o'clock. Oh, okay. Uh-huh. So that plan takes precedence.
Is that what you're saying? It's not who asked first. It's who had the time. Yeah. Well, that one got time locked.
Way to bring this up. I'm just going to go shopping alone, I guess. No way. Bro, I got to get it done. I can't be waiting around for you. Well, come and help with my project.
And then it'll be real short. I wasn't invited to that plan. You are absolutely invited. I don't want to be invited. Why? Because I don't.
Wow. You're in a mood. I didn't realize you had a mood going today. But I am aware now.
I'm in no mood. Look at it. No, I hear it. I'm parking.
I am in no mood for you. Yeah. Okay.
Got it. This is kind of a cool story. Last Friday in Detroit, there was a Christmas tree lighting ceremony. And Dave Hilliard and his girlfriend Shelby Lucas, they were enjoying the Christmas tree lighting. And somewhere along the way, somewhere in the huge downtown crowd, Dave lost his wallet.
Oh, no. Yeah, the couple retraced their steps. They searched everywhere.
They even headed back downtown the next morning, convinced that it had to be somewhere. No luck. The wallet was gone. No. Yeah. Dave. Well, then Shelby checked their ring camera and everything changed. On the ring camera footage, there's a woman standing at their door late in the night before holding Dave's wallet. Oh.
And not only had she found it, she'd driven all the way from downtown Detroit to the couple's home, which is in Farmington Hills, placed the wallet, cards, cash, everything untouched, safely in their mailbox. Aw. Now, this is where I ask, do you not check your mailbox every day? I do. I check my mailbox every day. I do too.
So that's always an interesting one to me when people are like, oh, I haven't checked the mail in like days. I'm like, what? Yeah, I know. Anyway. I get it. Listen, there could be some cool stuff in there. No.
Hardly ever. Dave and Shelby are now hoping to track down the mystery goods Samaritan so they can thank her in person and give her a gift for her kindness. Dave said, we owe her a lot. So that's pretty stressful moment and way for her to be a good Samaritan.
Very cool. And hopefully they can find her. That would be really neat if they were able to reconnect and say thanks in person. Thank you. What a big deal.
Thanks for helping out. Way to have integrity and do the right thing. That's really cool. And you know what else it is? Good news. I was looking at our door here in the studio and it's looking pretty sad and lonely.
Yeah. What should we do about it? Well, I'm going to appeal to the people listening to send us a Christmas card. Okay. And we'll send you one in return.
That's right. I know we're very close to having them done. I have heard of designs and things that we've seen in initially draft. We've seen a mock-up.
And then that got a little bit of a tweak to it. So I'm excited to see the finished product. And we should have those available very soon. So if you'd like to receive one, you want to get the Wake Up Classy 97 Christmas card.
You just send us a Christmas card at 400 West Sunnyside in Idaho Falls. It's 83402. And you can search that up. Just search for Classy 97. You can get our address. Send it to Josh and Chantel. We will receive that. Make sure you have your address on there. We will send you our Christmas card in return. And you're going to want it. Is it good? And we're sneaking a little something extra in there.
A little prize. We are. Yeah. So you're going to want it.
Yeah. So send us a Christmas card. We'll hang it on the door in the studio. And we'll send you our Christmas card back. That's how we've done it the past couple of years. We'd like to do it again this year. So let's do an exchange.
That's right. Send us a Christmas card. A Christmas card exchange. Add us to your list.
And then every year just send us one and we'll send you one back. It's easy. We're easy to find.
Yes. Send us a Christmas card. We'd love to hear from you during the holiday season. Help us decorate the studio a little bit.
It would be great. The third year we've been doing Christmas cards. That's right. And last year we had some repeat Christmas card centers from the year before. Some of them chose not to send one again. I'd like to see some more repeats. OK.
So send us your Christmas card. 400 West Sunnyside Road, Idaho Falls. Idaho 83402. You can look that up online. It's easy to find us and send us a card. Please.
The door is without. Yeah. Come on. Come on. Help the door.
Come on. The door is sad. Send us your cute family photos. We all have our different ways of doing Christmas. Like for example some of us take turns with our presents.
Oh you're talking about like opening on Christmas morning. Sure. And all of us like go at it. Everybody goes and tears into it. I was talking to a coworker yesterday and he said that when he got married it was kind of a struggle for him because he was used to a surprise. Every present was a surprise.
But his wife, she would tell her family, I want this thing and they would go get that thing. Oh really? And so it wasn't necessarily a surprise.
Yeah. Or her mom would just give them gift cards and say, here's, go buy your thing. I know that you wanted to shop here. Go get your thing. Yeah. Interesting. I know. There's no wrong way to Christmas.
No, there's not. I'm just trying to figure out like how I feel about that because I feel like for me I'm more of a like I want to open a surprise gift. Same. I want it to be something that I like. Sure.
But I also want somebody to know me enough to know what I'm going to like. Yeah. There's pressure involved there. Yeah.
But there shouldn't be. Oh, I'm feeling it already. Why? Because there's 20 days and I haven't shopped yet. I know I haven't shopped yet.
That's pretty much why. Like I haven't done any shopping. I've been really lazy this year.
I know. It's snuck up on us. I feel like it sneaks up on us every year but I feel less prepared this year than I have in a very long time. It'll come together.
I have no doubt about that. But it certainly is one of those things where I go like, yeah, I probably should be thinking about this a while ago. I haven't made lists. I haven't really given it much thought. You don't usually.
No, that's not true. I do. But this year I've been like, hmm. What do you make lists about?
Gift ideas and stuff. For everybody. You do? Yes. I've never seen you make a list like that. I don't do it and like walk around and ask a bunch of questions like in the kitchen last night.
What size? We're going to talk about that later. Oh, you are? Yeah. Oh, good.
Okay. That's coming up later. Later in the show.
That deserves its own segment. We're going to talk about how you build lists. Okay, good. Yeah, I've never seen you build a list. I build lists. Sometimes in my head. In your head?
How do you keep it all straight? I just did some one thing. I have many lists. Yeah, I know. You have lists upon lists. I have lists in my head, printed out lists, lists on my phone, lists on the drive.
I know. Pictures where I've been shopping with the kids and they've said, oh, I really want that. And then they have to walk away and I go back and take a picture of it so I can remember.
Got you. And then as I'm looking through my pictures, I go, what is that? Why do I have a picture of a weird thing? Why do I have a picture of that weird thing?
What could that be for? Yeah. Well, you know, I do make a list, but I have not done a lot of shopping yet this year. So, gotta get going. Yeah, you do gotta get going. Same to me.
What do you want? You haven't been listening? No. I have been checking everyone's wish lists.
Have you? Yeah, because I'm hoping there's some good ideas in there. There is. I've put some really good ideas in there. Okay. Super.
Thanks for the assist. Have you been putting good stuff on your list? Oh, man. I've been also checking your list twice. I've been filling it out. Okay. Here's what happened. I'm gonna actually talk about this later too. Oh, good. Later in the show, we'll talk about whatever it is you also want to talk about.
Because it also deserves its own segment. Okay. I'm just... Do you have a teaser?
No, no, no, no. Okay. Here's the initial what we were talking about. The surprise versus knowing what your present is. Right. And I would rather be surprised.
Yeah. I would. I feel the same.
And I also... It's always a little bit strange when you come together in a marriage because you've grown up with certain traditions and your partner has grown up with certain traditions and you're like, that's not how I do it. Let's do it my way. Yeah. There is a lot of compromise in a relationship. What are you saying you compromise? Many things. Such as?
All of lifestyles when they come together. I don't know. I'm sure I've given up things. I'm sure you've been like, all right, fine, we'll do that that way. And you'd be grudgingly slowly over time, change it to the way you want. And that's fine. Like the 1% milk?
Yep. You drank 2%. I was a 2% kid. Yeah, I was not.
And I never was going to be. Guess how much milk I drink now? Because of me?
I drink 0% now. Because of me? No, not really. I just don't. Yeah, I know.
We could get whatever you want because I don't drink milk either. Right. But the kids won't drink 2%. They're 1% kids now.
Yeah, I raised them right. I don't know. I did. That was a hard one to drink, start drinking that white water. That was the most difficult compromise you made? That was a tough one.
That was a very tough compromise in our marriage to switch from 2% to 1%. Did your family growing up? Did they do individual present opening? I really honestly don't remember because we've done it the way we do it for so many years, 20 whatever years we've been together doing Christmas, that I don't remember a lot of like if we all jumped in or if we took turns.
I'm pretty sure there was some turn taking. Like I remember we had like Christmas Eve traditions and we had Christmas morning and then we would do Christmas. You know, brunch stuff. So like I remember traditions, but I don't remember Christmas openings like that. But I feel like it would have been separate. Like I feel like everybody kind of would have taken their turns. And you know, kids always go and a couple of times in a row or whatever.
And then dad would open up his shirt of Haynes shirts, pocket shirts and many different colors. Yeah. Oh yeah.
Every year. Wow. Yeah.
I know what this one is. It's another pack of Haynes pocket shirts. That one's the same shape as the other. But then you try to disguise it so you roll it up and sit a lane flat and you're like, what could that be?
That's a different shape. Oh, it's Haynes pocket shirts. Cool gift dad. Every year. Poor dad.
I know. One year it was a big craftsman toolbox. And so not only did the toolbox have to get to the house and be hidden, it then had to move. And so that was a project to make that happen. That was fun and exciting. Was he pretty stoked? Oh yeah. He was like, where's my Haynes shirts?
They're inside drawers of the toolbox. Check it out. Yeah. Big time.
But yeah, I'm pretty sure it was like one at a time. So you didn't make any compromises there? Not on that. Just other things. Oh, you know, so many.
You can't give me any examples. I'll find something. Let me think about it. I'll wait. Okay. You were just telling me there's some icy road conditions.
Yeah. What do you know? I don't know much.
I know that the road conditions are difficult, especially on highways. There's some black ice out there. So.
And you said there were some reports of slide offs. Yes. Is that correct? Correct. Do you know where those slide offs were happening? I don't.
Okay. Well, I just pulled up 511.idaho .gov. I've been looking around the East Idaho region on different road cameras and stuff. And I can tell you that like highway 33, which is Teton to Driggs is snow covered. St. Anthony up into Island Park. That's all snow covered and difficult right now. According to the maps, the I-15 from essentially Sage Junction past Roberts down toward Idaho Falls is all purple on the map as well with ice on I-15 there.
As you head out toward Mud Lake on 33, snow covered road there, plus also animals on the roadway. So that's always fun. So just be cautious. Careful, everybody.
It's kind of a wet morning and it's also cold and that is combining to make some ice on the road. So just be careful. If you do want to check the road report before you head out, it's really easy. Just go to 511.idaho .gov and they also have an app that you can get, which is really super convenient to pull all those maps right into your phone and you can check it, you know, right as you leave the house or whatever to hit the road. If you're going to be doing a traveling today or this weekend, be careful and check that report before you go. It does say IC patches on the road to INL as well.
Highway 20 out to the site. IC patches there. So be careful. Be safe. Check the cameras, the road conditions. It's all there at 511.idaho .gov and yeah, slow down. Slow down. That's always the biggest recommend. Slow down.
And be safe. That's right. What? I just, the horses, man. That's all. There's several different versions of Slay Ride that have horses and whips and all that stuff in there. And I just go like, what are we doing?
Four horses. That was a good whip sound. Did you hear it?
I heard it. That was the best whip sound I ever made. Kwa-cha. Kwa-cha. I'm so proud of that.
Okay. I'm glad you got that recorded. You should be. Okay. I got a random text from our daughter yesterday that said, remember that Christmas thing you got a while ago? And I said, hmm. Let me think about it. That's pretty vague.
Right? And then I asked her a couple of questions and I went, oh, are you talking about the Christmas countdown I got? And she goes, yep. And I go, yeah, I remember. And she said, hmm. What does that mean? I felt called out and I said, what exactly are you trying to say here?
And she said, I'm trying to say that I was right. What happened was when I bought that Christmas countdown, it actually was a Halloween countdown and it was a Christmas banner. And I actually remember what you're talking about. I forgot that I bought the Christmas banner until she brought it up. But anyway, regardless, when I bought it, she goes, do you really think you're going to have that done before Christmas?
Oh, was this something you had to sew? Yes. Okay. That's why I'm not on what this is.
I'm sorry. It was a project. Oh, so you bought a sewing project.
Yeah. That was a countdown to Christmas. No, I bought two projects. One was a Halloween countdown that I didn't complete.
Alrighty. And the other one was a Christmas banner. So you sew these little, it's a little Christmas banner. I totally forgot about it actually until she brought it up. Anyway, when I bought it, she goes, do you really think that you're going to have that ready and done in time for Christmas? And when did you buy this?
September. Okay. And I said, yeah, I have plenty of time. I don't know why she decided to call me out and.
So I heard her walking around the house yesterday going, oh, still no banner. What a sticker. I can't even believe it.
And I said, I don't know what you're talking about. I can't even believe her. Oh, still no banner. I think she needs to be on the naughty list.
So then. I think she's a cheerleader. She's trying to get you to do a project. She said, I'm trying to say that I was right. You didn't, you didn't complete those in time.
And I go, uh, actually. What you're thinking about is cause she thought that it was a Christmas countdown. And I said, well, you're wrong cause it's a Christmas banner. It was a Halloween countdown. So, and none of them got done. And she said, oh my bad.
What happened to both of them? Yeah, still no banner. I said, there's still plenty of time to make that Christmas banner.
But also if somebody wants some Christmas gifts this year, they need to back off. All right. All right. So, uh, you were really excited about your free time this evening.
Is it going to be filled with making that banner? Probably cause I actually forgot that I bought it. Okay.
I really did. Isn't that something I'm curious to see what it looks like. It's super cute.
Okay. And I forgot I bought it. The Halloween countdown was super cute too. Yeah. Next year. That's a next year project. Sure thing. I'm sure she'll remind you that it isn't up on October 1st.
Why is she randomly calling me out in the middle of the day? Still no banner. Sheesh.
What I do to you kid. I think she was trying to tell you there was still no banner as she looked around the living room, but I don't think you heard it. No, I know. I'm saying I heard it when she was at home walking around going, nope, still no banner. But I think she was trying to egg you on and you didn't hear it.
No, I didn't. Rude. I feel called. I feel attacked. Do your craft. I forgot.
It was there. I have a lot of projects. No, I know. It's a busy time of year. You make it sound like you've been cranking out other projects when you say that. It's a busy time of year.
I haven't had time to work on this project because I've not been cranking out other craft projects. Why are you calling me out now? I'm just telling you what your statement was.
Get off my back. It's a busy time of year. It is a busy time of year.
I also have two jobs. That's every day. That's all year long. That's not just right now.
Well, I know, but then I come home and guess what? It's cold and dark. Yeah. So I just want to snuggle in a blanket.
I get it. I can't even believe my family right now. I can't wait to see that banner. I don't even know about it. I don't know what it looks like. I'm excited.
I'm excited to be surprised at what that banner looks like. I might actually just pop it out tonight. How about?
How about? And then I'll have it hanging in the morning. I actually don't know how it might take. It might be complicated. I forgot. I kind of forgot what it looks like. I bought that thing two months ago.
How do I remember? Two months, not two years. Where even is it? There we go. Tell you where it's not. It's not hanging on the wall.
I can't even get. I did. I was doing a little bit of Christmas shopping yesterday online.
And there was something already in my cart at the website that I was shopping for. And I went, oh yeah. I forgot I liked those. It was a pair of pants.
And they looked really cute. And they've been sitting in my shopping cart for a couple of weeks now. And I went, should I save those for later or should I just get them? So did you buy the pants? Yeah. Okay. I bought the pants and then I also bought a shirt.
Just wrap them. No. Yeah. Yep. I did that for you guys, not for me.
Yeah. I'm the baby. It's been the theme of the day. It's the theme of my life. I'm just the baby.
So while I bought a couple of things for a small gift exchange, I also bought Christmas shopping for myself. Well, see, and that makes it hard. Why? Because, well, now I can't buy you those pants. You weren't ever going to buy me those pants. Were they on your wish list? I wasn't ever going to buy you those pants.
I know. Because I didn't know about those pants. Because I meant to buy them a long time ago. Do you ever shop for stuff online? I make wish lists. You put stuff in your cart? No, I just make wish lists. Well, I do that too. But I also, I go, oh, I'm going to put this in my cart. And then I never pull the trigger on it.
Because if I leave something in a cart on a website, I get bombarded with email. You left something behind. No, I didn't. I didn't buy it. I looked at it for a little while. I thought about it. I wanted to see how much shipping was. So I put it in a cart. And then I changed my mind and closed your website forever. Stop emailing me that I left something behind.
Okay, here's the other thing. I went to buy something on a website. And it told me that it would be a $5 shipping.
Yeah. And I went, I don't want to spend $5 to ship. And it said, well, if you don't want to spend $5 to ship, you could spend $15 more on something else and get free shipping. And I went, okay. So I looked and looked and looked around at what else I could get.
And I went, I can't, I really was having a really difficult time committing to anything. I looked at stuff for you. I looked at stuff for Emory. I looked at stuff for Beck.
I was like, I don't, none of this feels right. And so then I just said, fine, I'll pay the $5 shipping. It's a better answer than spending three times that on another item. I understand. But you get another item. Exactly.
Yeah, girl math. And that would have checked off something on my list. Yeah, I get, I understand that. But you looked at it and went, yeah, but if I spend $15 and I get free shipping, it's like, that item only cost me 10. Yeah.
Yeah, girl math. Yeah, checked out. Yeah.
I even said I was at work and I said to the office, I go, I don't want to spend $5 on the shipping, but I was going to spend 15 on another gift to get the free shipping. Make that make sense. Yeah. And they went, no, that's good. Yeah, that checks out. Yeah. That's how they get you.
Call it getting swindled by a business, I think is what they call that. Here's the thing, Josh, I need to shop with you, even if it's just online shopping, because I found a whole bunch of stuff for both the kids. Yeah. And I was like, I have a really hard time making decisions about stuff. Okay. So I need you to be there with me so that you can be like, yeah, I get that.
No, I think that's a terrible idea. Okay. I just need a second opinion.
Well, let me know what you need. I'm right here. Not going anywhere. I tell Tamara, when you have other plans. Oh, here we go. Never going to let that go. Join me on my other plans. You're welcome to. But I don't want to is the thing. Well, I wanted to go Christmas shopping.
How long do you think my other thing is going to take all day? Yeah. No. Yeah. No.
Because you'll get wrapped up in talking because you do that. Yeah. It's going to take you at least a couple hours. Yeah. But not all day. Stores aren't only open for two hours. We got a lot of time. We've got 20 days.
Five. We'll be fine. We have shopped for Christmas presents on the 20th of December. Or later. Or later. Yeah.
Not worried. There have been things that have been sold out that we've wanted. And then we've had a set of all for like a second place item. I get it. We'll be fine. It'll be fine. Everything will be fine.
Guess what? Christmas comes whether you're ready or not. That's true. Now, if you do have to get stuff mailed, like if you're trying to shop online. Yeah. We probably need to handle that first. Because that stuff has to get in the mail. I know it.
So let's hustle on that. I did find something yesterday when I was trying to find something so that I could get my free shipping. I did find something for you. And I went, oh, actually, that's really cool.
But it wasn't going to arrive in time. Oh. Lame.
I know. So you don't get that present. Was it on my wish list? No. Well, then maybe it's not even something I know I want. No, it is something I know you want. Because it's something that you've talked about. You just haven't put it on your wish list. Well, remind me.
I'll put it on my wish list. No. No. But I surprised you. When? You said I wouldn't get here in time.
Well, I'm going to find it somewhere else. Oh, I see. You see? I see.
I get it. OK, well, let's go shopping. Right now?
Whatever you need. You just let me know. I'm right here.
Not going anywhere. Last night, everybody was kind of gathered in the kitchen and we were discussing some things. And I said, oh, hey, since everybody's here, Beck, what is your shoe size? And I kind of have a general idea of shoe sizes, but I don't necessarily know everybody's pant size. And so then I got Beck's shoe size and his pant size. And we've been buying him large t-shirts, but he's like, I like him big sometimes. So an extra large is great.
So I wrote that all down. Emery, what's your shoe size? What's your pant size? What's your shirt size?
Josh, same question for you. What's your shoe size? Pant size? And I said, it depends on the shoe.
It depends on the pants. That's what everybody thinks. And then you didn't like that answer.
Well, I know that answer. And then I went and checked a couple of different pairs of pants, came back with measurements, and then you were like, just whatever. Like I was annoying.
I asked a question, but don't give me an accurate answer. Because I know that everything is going to be different because I also shop for clothes. And I know that depending on the brand, I just needed a general idea. But you were like, well, it depends on the brand. And I was like, I know that.
Just give me a general idea. And then that turned into looking into people's tags. Right. So we were looking at all of that. And then it turned into you being offended.
Yeah. Because then, as soon as I got everybody's sizes, everybody dispersed. And I said- Which is all the information you needed. I sat in the kitchen and I go, doesn't anybody want to know my sizes? And we all went, we already know.
You don't. That's what you said. But I think we're good. What's my shoe size? Seven. Six, seven.
Depending on the brand. But never a six. It's always seven.
No, no, that's not true. When is it not been a seven? It depends. Sometimes I buy Converse that are a little bit, Converse run a little bit big on my feet. So sometimes I wear a six and a half. I would say the only time you ever buy a six and a half is when they don't have it in a seven. And you go, well, the six and a half will do. Because I like this color or whatever. No, I buy six and a half sometimes.
I have six and a half Converse. Not all of them, but some of them. What?
Okay. And I bought a pair of shoes that they didn't have in my size, but they were boys and they were a size five. Oh, so it's a boys five? Yeah. Is a women's seven? Yes.
All right. So if there's a boy shoe that's cute, can we size five? Can we just get one size? Can we just have one number? I gave you the number.
No, I know. But can't we just not have like a different one for men and women? Can't we just have one size? We can't a 10 be a 10 across the board. Why do we have to have a 10 be a 12? Do you see what I'm saying?
If a five in boys is a seven in women's, why not a five in boys be a five in women's? Is what I'm saying. I see what you're saying.
Why do we have to have so many numbers? I see what you're saying. Why isn't it just the same?
A foot's a foot. You see? I see. Isn't like we have a 12 inch boy ruler and a 14 inch woman's ruler. You see?
One number range. What have we done? Why are we doing this?
Why is this so hard? One number. I see.
Why isn't a size one a size one? Okay. Let's go back to the kitchen conversation. Because then I said, I asked if anybody needed my size and you said, I know your size and I said, you don't because you think that I'm a smaller size than I typically feel comfortable in. I feel like you think you're a larger size than you look good in. That's nice. I think that's a nice compliment. But sometimes I think you buy me too small of clothes.
Well, I don't know what to tell you. I think maybe you have a different opinion about how you look in smaller sized clothes than I do. Maybe that's something to do with that. Just maybe. Maybe it's just all about what I feel comfortable in.
Yeah. So don't buy me the small. But maybe it's about what I like to look at you in.
So maybe wear the smaller size clothes. It's all about you. I'm not the baby. We know it's not all about me.
We've discussed this all day today. Twice. We've only discussed it twice.
I think this is like three or four times. We've had some sort of, I've got to compromise conversations. I feel like though. I feel like we're in couples therapy. I feel like. My thoughts are if it's something that I'm going to be wearing, I should be the one that feels comfortable in it.
You bet. I wouldn't buy you a smaller size of shirt because I'm like, oh, I like your muscles in that shirt. Yeah, because you don't want to see it. I do. You're like, that shirt is too small. No way. Yeah, way.
I would like it if it like. You think I'm squeezing in a medium these days? That's what I'm saying. Yeah, you are small. You are a small person. No way, dude.
Yeah, way, dude. I am a chubby girl who likes sex. No, you are not.
So you better size up. No. You're not. You are a tiny person. Well, I appreciate your body dysmorphia towards me. Yeah, okay. That's how it works.
I don't think so. But anyway, that's why I didn't ask your size because I already know. Because you know, but you don't. But I do.
Well, save the receipts, please. All right. Okay, this is interesting. They found a study that cats learn to meow louder at men than at women because men aren't great listeners. What? And women are also more likely to pick up on subtle body language so that meowing is less necessary for women than it is for men. What?
No, and this is true for dogs too, because I've noticed this in our own dog. What? What are you talking about? You know exactly what I'm talking about.
No. What are you talking about? What I'm talking about is that women, and I completely making generalizations here, I think women have a tendency to see what needs to happen before it needs to be done, right? Whoa, like you can project the future? No, no, that's not what I'm talking about.
Whoa. I just, women are like, okay, that, it's time for the dog to eat, the dog needs some water. And then we just do it. And then the dog says it need to tell us, hey, I need some water.
No, I understand what you're saying. But also I water and feed the dog. She has a schedule. I get that. What I'm saying is according to this study, women pick up on subtle body language. No, I know, but then you said, I know that to be true in our own dog. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Suggesting that I'm not aware of the dog's needs. I think that you... And I'm aware of the dog's needs. It's a needy dog. It is a needy dog. But would you also agree that that dog typically comes to me when it needs something?
Yeah. Because she knows... Mostly treats. She knows, no, everything, go to the bathroom, anything. She knows that I'm going to take care of the thing. But does she know that? What we need to test is...
Okay. We need to ask the co-worker down the hall because he has a house full of cats. That's true.
I'm curious to know if his cats meow louder at him than they do his girlfriend. Okay, fair. Let's ask.
I know. We do have to ask. He's got to do a study. I doubt he'll follow through. Because he'll forget.
Yeah, who knows? But he's a good cat dad. He is very much. She spoils his cats.
He does. I've had to take care of his cats a couple of times when he's been out of town. And they get treats with every meal. So I feel like maybe his cats aren't meowing louder at him because they're like, ah, dad will take care of us. We don't need to meow louder at him. But I also don't feel like Luna hovers louder at any one of us. I think she just makes that noise at whoever's around. Most typically me.
Yeah, because she knows where to find you because she's already right next to you. We're not talking about dogs. We're talking about cats. Okay. Now, you grew up in a house full of cats.
Yes. What did you know to be true about them? They make a mess. Everywhere they go.
They push stuff off the counter. What do you know specifically if they're meowing? Did they meow louder at you and your dad growing up?
Then they did your mom and your sister? No. You just weren't paying attention.
No, I was not. I don't know anything about their yows. Exactly. I have no details about that.
I couldn't tell you a single thing. I can't even remember how they got fed. I'm sure they did. But I don't remember doing that as a chore. I remember liver boxes. But I don't remember feed-ins. Because your mom understood their body language cues. That's probably true.
And I'm okay with that. I don't need to know the cat's body language cues. I want to know who did this study. And also, should we be studying something else? Well, I did see something that was posted online about cats being the most biologically perfect creatures in existence. Yeah, you know who posted that?
I saw that same thing. The same guy who's got the cats that he loves. Cats are built with near-perfect efficiency from their precision balance to their remarkable night vision. And scientists say their agility sensory abilities and even healing-related purring make them some of the most finely-tuned animals in nature.
Why are scientists spending so much time on cats? Great question. Now we're getting down to the nitty-gritty of it. Why are we doing all this cat study? Yeah, that's the real question.
What's the story about that? You went to a meeting the other day and you called me from your meeting and said, hey, quick question, dogs are cats. And I said, dogs.
Yep. I never heard the results of that study. That was an internal survey. And I was just told by the person, I said, dogs, but why? And they said, I'm just trying to find out who's cool. So if you answered dogs, that made you cool?
I think so. I think they both serve a purpose. I think they're both cool. Totally. I just prefer a dog over a cat. That's right. Same. And they're biologically perfect.
I heard about it from the scientists. And they go, yow. And that's when they need something. Louder when it's to men.
Sure. Because we don't listen. And cats know that.
Thank you, science. I don't know if you'd heard, but Travis, Kelsey and Taylor Swift are dating and now they're engaged. I don't know if you heard that news.
Sure thing. She's dead set on getting married on June 13th next year. Why 13? Well, 13's are birthday, like 12, 13. Like a birthday's coming up.
Okay. And 13's are lucky number. How do you know that? Are you a Swiftie? I know a lot about Taylor Swift. Why do you know so much about me?
Because I pay attention. Okay. That's all.
Okay. So it was originally reported that she wanted to get married at her Rhode Island estate. Yes, she has an estate. I'm not surprised. Plans changed. And rumor has it that she now wants to get married at a venue called the Ocean House. Unfortunately, another couple already had that date booked.
Oh. So Taylor made an offer they couldn't refuse. She bought their date? I think she bought them out.
Really? That's what the rumors are saying. There's no word on how much cash she gave them, but she's Taylor Swift.
She could spend quite a bit of dough buying them out of that. It's called Ocean House? Ocean House, correct.
I got to see it. I said she has an estate in Rhode Island. I didn't know she had a Rhode Island estate.
I know she has a house in Kansas, right? Well, I can tell you that the wedding packages are insane. Like what? Holy smokes. Let's hear it. Off-peak, which June is not off-peak. Nope. So peak season packages exceed 100 to $175,000. What?
Yep. They have high food beverage minimums. Often food and beverage alone can be anywhere from $15,000 to $175,000 on its own.
What? The extensive rental catering needs pushing total budgets in peak season to well over $200,000 expect significant spending on catering upwards of $300 per person and rentals. So all the linen's lighting, dance floors, all beyond-base site fees, cost scales up significantly with guest count and luxury add-ons, and you know it's going to be big. Can you imagine the guest count? It's going to be insane. Who do you invite when you're those two people?
If you were going to do a smaller quote unquote off-season event, you would still pay $30,000. Get out of here. Get out of here.
Yeah, no, I won't. That's crazy. It's in Rhode Island as well. It's a gorgeous place. Yeah, I just looked up a picture of it.
I'm looking at the video. Oceanhouseri.com. That's the Ocean House Rhode Island, ri.com slash weddings. They've got a video. This is big publicity for them too. This is huge. Like they're going to get flooded with a ton of people.
Oh yeah, because everybody wants to get married where Taylor got married. And it's gorgeous. It's insane.
Yeah. It's like beach, Rhode Island beach in the sand dancing. Yeah, it's real pretty.
Very bougie. I kind of want to get invited. But it's also, I don't think that will happen.
Why? I was going to say it's also, I think the Ocean House is also where you would stay. Like that is where your guests stay as well. It's beautiful.
It is beautiful. And sure, if Taylor and Travis sent us an invite, I would go. I'm not going to go and I'll tell you why. And I'll tell you why we're not going to get invited.
Well, I know we're not going to get invited because we're not on their radar. But also, I've said some not nice things about Travis. Right. But also, wouldn't it be amazing for him to be like, yeah, I'm inviting her because I'm going to prove you wrong. I'm going to show that small town girl and I know. That is right.
That's exactly right. And I'm just saying, I would go. I would be a good guest. I would be quiet.
I would sign the NDA. So you know, whatever, whatever the wedding favor is, I won't tell anybody. I just, you know. Just let me come have your food. Just let me hang out.
Right. I just want to hang out. I won't even, I won't bug you. I'll just watch from the back. I'll fill a seat. You need a seat filler? Here we are.
I'm your gal. That's right. I'll help you usher guests to their seats.
Well, they have their pain people to do that. Just let me rub elbows with some of your celebrity. I don't even want, I just want to see it. Just want to like stand adjacent to it.
Just to be like, that's what that's like. We spent $1,500 total on our entire wedding. Tux rental, dress, cake, catering, venue, everything. $1,500 all in. I want to see what this looks like. Just to go, huh.
Okay. That's what that looks like. This is how people live. Yeah. Oh. How about it? Ain't that some.
And then I'll stay the one night and then I'll leave. Yeah. Okay. Just give me the ticket and the one night to the wedding. And then we'll fly home. And then we'll fly home.
To our humble little life. And I'll never tell anybody about it. We'll just take the day off like nothing happened, June 13th. We won't say anything. Hey Travis. Just mysteriously be gone.
Hey Travis Kelsey, this message is for you. Yeah. Prove me wrong. Oh, okay. I've been talking a lot of smack about you on the radio.
Calling you a snake in the grass. Right. And I think you're a nice dude. Hey Travis Kelsey. Hey, listen up. Prove me wrong. Invite me to your wedding. Show me what's up. You know how to get ahold of us. We're easy to find. Yeah. It's pretty simple to find us. Yep.
Hey Travis Kelsey. An invite in the mail. What are you going to do if that shows up?
Oh, yeah. What are you going to do? I'll think it's a scam. I don't even think it's real. I won't believe it.
I'd be like, no. So also include some sort of form of authentic proof. So that we can make sure that it is actually a legit invitation. Okay, got it. Got it. You're right.
Because that could be an easy prank for somebody to be like, watch this. Hey, hey, hey, hey. I think that Paul Rudd is a Kansas City Cheese fan. He is.
So if he gets an invite, please sit me next to him if I also get an invite. Hey, Travis Kelsey. Yeah, you want to see somebody act real weird. Put Chantel next to Paul Rudd.
Yeah. And don't invite his wife. Smart idea. Really? Yeah. She's not needed. Wow. Where we're going, we don't need Paul Rudd's wife.
That's enough. Would you rather this or that? Don't the sounds, the songs from Trans-Siberian Orchestra sound better because you've seen them live? Well, yeah. So you're like, I remember what that sounded like live. I've seen that live now. And it was cool. It was indeed.
All right. Would you rather Marathon Elf or Marathon Home Alone? Well, there's only one elf, but there's three Home Alone.
No, you just get the first one. And well, then what's a marathon mean? Just like a repeat.
You just, as soon as it's finished, you hit replay for, let's say 24 hours. Home Alone. I'm going to say that too. Okay. Well, that was easy. I might change my answer. Why?
Because it's O.E. Deschanel, you know? Oh, yeah. But I do know. You know? I might just have to change my answer. Change it then.
Because she's not in Home Alone. Yep. That's all. Okay. Change your answer. I said might. Okay. Well, don't. I'm still picking Home Alone. I'm not changing. Now, why are you picking that instead of elf?
Because it's nostalgic. Okay. I don't think it says annoying. And that's it. Those are the two reasons.
I got no other reasons. Just those. What's the runtime? Oh, good, good call. One hour 37 minutes for elf. That's short. It's a short movie. One hour 43 minutes for Home Alone.
There you go. So you're going to watch elf more times, barely, over 24 hours. You're going to watch, you know, collectively, probably 19 or 20 times.
Maybe a little less than that. And you have to sit and watch it the whole time. No way. Yeah, way. It just has to be on. No, no, no.
Yes, yes, yes. You have to sit and watch it the whole time. You can pause for snacks in the bathroom. I'm not pausing. Why would I pause?
I'm going to catch the part I missed later. No, you can't. It's just.
No, it's just on in the background. You don't get to decide. And then I walk into the room. It's specific parts I want to watch. Just with Zoe Deych. That's right. Now you understand.
Would you rather this or that? Did you set your roster? Oh, crud. Oh, actually, I was going to tell you about something and I totally forgot. What? Did you watch the game last night?
Well, I was watching part of it. Yeah. Okay.
Dallas and Detroit. Yeah. Yeah.
Okay. So Beck was pretty excited because he was watching it and there was a player on the lions that the kept like just beating him down and then he actually got a pick. Ah, and like won the game. That's when you when you when you pick the ball from the other team.
Yeah. And he actually won the game for the lions and I don't know his name. I was going to write it down. But he said that felt like vindication on that guy. Yeah.
And I kind of like that too. Yeah. Sorry though, because you had Dak Prescott on your roster. I know. And but at least I didn't have what's his name number 88. What's his name? I don't know. You got injured.
You got his head hurt. Seedy lambs. Oh, no. Yeah.
Oh, we like Seedy Lambs. He got hurt and had to go into concussion protocol. Oh, no. So he he was a big deal in the first half of the game and then got hurt and then didn't play the rest of the game. Yeah. Jamar Gibbs really gave me some pointage.
Yeah, Gibbs is doing his thing. Thank you, buddy. What did if you look at my score over there, how did how did Pickens do? Pretty okay. You got eight. That's not enough.
No, sorry, bud. He was not on his game. But Almanra did pretty okay.
Yeah, I got Almanra there, I think. So that's our quarterbacks were head to head. Were they? You had Prescott and I had Goff. Yeah.
You did better. Really? Yeah. That's impressive.
You got 18, I got 16. Well, see if that makes up for what points I need because of Gibbs over there. Goff has not had a very good season. Like he's been interesting. He's had a better last season was much better for him.
He's been kind of laying low. Hey, you know who I like? Who's that?
I like Dan Campbell. The lion. You call him rough and tumble. Yeah, he looks like a like a. Like a rough and tumble guy. Like a back street alley kind of guy.
What does that mean? He's just from Detroit. Okay. And that's, I don't know. Is he from Detroit? Couldn't tell you actually. He's in Detroit. Right. He's the coach of the Lions.
He just looks like a like a dude. Okay. I got a dude like on the weekends. I fix my car. He doesn't. He does football on the weekends. That's true. I just think he's a cool dude.
Okay. I just I don't know much about him other than every time. He fits the part of a coach. Like when you look at him, you go, that guy's a coach. No.
You look at him and you think that guy fixes his car. Yeah. Yeah. That guy, I look at him and I go, that's the dude in your neighborhood that always has his garage open and he's got his car on cement blocks.
All right. That's rough and tumble Dan Campbell. Dan Campbell, rough and tumble.
Cinder blocks for tires. All right. Well, anyway, you and I have a weekend ahead of us of fantasy football. We are together this week and next week. And then one of us is going to lose and be out of the league officially.
I hope it's me. You want to lose? Yeah. I want to be done. Then call it.
Put it in some bad players. No, I'm not going to call it. You got to earn it. I'm just telling I just want to be done. Okay. And you're not playing again. I told the people that I work with that I've been grounded from fantasy football, they laughed at me. And said. And said, okay.
Who wears the pants in that relationship? Is that the kind of nonsense? Nope. They just laughed at me like, okay, buddy. Because you're not having any fun. No. And you take it way too seriously and you're no fun to be around when you're losing. Well, so. Then just be around me when I'm winning.
No, you're just not playing ever again. Do not, I repeat, this goes for coworkers, your cousin. Do not invite Josh to be in your fantasy football league. Because he's not allowed to play.
Because in a year, when it's time again to set a roster and people are like, hey, you want to join my league? You're going to say, yeah, maybe. And I'm going to say, no. No, he's not. He's not joining your league.
Unless you want to live with him. Okay. I won't play. Okay.
Till next year. No, you're not playing. All right. That's going to do it for the show for this week. Hey. Hey. I got nothing else to say.
Same. We're done. I'm talked out. Okay. All right. Have a good rest of your Friday. Have a great weekend.
I will be around when we play Jingle Bingo coming up here in about an hour or so. So, you know, I'm not going anywhere, but Chantel's leaving. So have a good day, I guess. Same to you, buddy.
All right. We'll see you back here live on Monday. Have a good weekend. Bye.
