Full show transcript:
I'm gonna give you the name of some things that you didn't know had names. Hold on. Let me rephrase that. We're gonna play a game. We're gonna play a game. We're gonna play a game? It's called, it doesn't have a name.
But I'm gonna give you the name. It's called it doesn't have a name? I'm so lost.
What is happening? Okay, these are everyday objects that you use that have official names, but you might not know the names of these things. And so I'm gonna tell you the name of the thing and then you tell me if you
know the thing. Like the little plastic thing on a shoelace is in England. Sure. For example.
For example. Okay. Okay, a nerdle.
Oh, you're giving me the name? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I thought you were gonna give me the thing.
No, I'm gonna guess the name. No, I'm giving you the name. You tell me what the thing is.
A nerdle? Yep. That's the morning show cohost of wake up classy 97. You nerdle.
What is it? It is a small amount of toothpaste on a brush. A nerdle. Let me just put a nerdle on there.
No one has ever said a nerdle.
Until now. No, no one's gonna use it. Stop trying to make nerdle a thing. The next time I see you brushing your teeth.
Oh, what a nice patch. That's a pretty big nerdle. Okay, how about a tittle? Oh, I know this. I know what it is. I just I can't think.
We've talked about it before actually. Yeah, it is the dot over an I.
That's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And a tildy is the little wiggly one. Yeah, that's over here above the tab key.
I'm right. What about a ZARF?
Yeah, that's that noise you make when you're being a nerdle.
It is the cardboard sleeve around your hot beverage.
A ZARF. Like a scarf. Why is it called a ZARF? I don't know. I don't know the answer.
This one's pretty easy.
A grommet. I know what a grommet is. Rivet and grommet are not the same.
And a rivet is something that's used to hold two pieces together. A grommet is a one with a hole used for like a tie down on a flag or a tarp. Okay.
But a rivet, you usually see those in like metal. Okay, last one. Are you ready? Sure. Collie wobble. Collie wobble? Uh-huh. That's how you move about. Me? Yep. Here she comes. Collie wobbling down the hallway. Say something nice.
You just said I like, you just said I collie wobbled around and I'm a nerdle. You collie wobble around the hall like a nerdle going, ZARF? Say something nice. But imagine the picture I've painted about you collie wobbling around going ZARF?
What's a collie wobble? A collie wobble is the feeling of nervous stomach butterflies. Feeling very cobble wobble-ish. Collie wobble-ish. Collie wobble.
I'm all collie wobble. Yeah. Interesting words. Fun game, huh? I mean, it wasn't even really a game, but yes. Thank you. What was that game called? Oh, that's right. It doesn't have a name, except the game was, here's the name of the thing. What is it?
So the game literally should have been called, it has a name. Collie wobble. Collie wobble. ZARF. Look at you. Let's start the show. Yo.
Yo ho ho. And a wheel of cheese because it's cheese day. Is it cheese day? Yeah, and I like cheese. I know you like cheese. What's your favorite kind of cheese? What did you say? Nacho? No. I like goat.
I mean, I really like goat cheese with, when it's covered with blueberries or cranberries or red pepper jelly or...
That's why I listed it. Yeah, that's a good one.
On my burger, pepper jack.
Okay.
On my grilled cheese, Gouda.
Is one of the cheeses.
Yeah. How about you? I use a three cheese blend when I make a grilled cheese. I like to mix up the flavors and give you a lot of cheese in there. What's your favorite type of cheese?
I like Swiss cheese. I don't know that it's my favorite, favorite, but I've had a lot of cheeses.
Manchego cheese is delicious. I feel like the cheese we use the most is a Colby Jack blend.
I think so too. That's probably the one we use because we use in tacos, breakfast burritos. That one's all, like if it's a shredded cheese, it's a shredded Colby Monterey thing.
Because it's so, what a versatile cheese.
It's yellow and white. Mozzarella's good. Yeah. What about like a Cotija? Yes, I like it. Yeah. Yep. That goes on the crazy corn. Yeah. Usually. Delicious. Yeah. Hmm.
I'm not a fan of blue cheese. I was just going to think that you were going to say that.
Not a fan. It's probably bottom rung. This is moldy. Well, most cheeses. No. I did. How do you feel about synthetic processed good old velvita?
Have you seen those videos where the people are washing their shredded cheese? And they say that because it's got like preservatives on it that make it non-sticky. Right. So now they're washing it.
I look, if you're that worried about it, just
get a break of cheese and shred it yourself. Yeah. And then you could have, we had a woman playing kids smarts with us the other day, said she was the fastest cheese grader. That's right. I'd like to see how fast she is.
I would also enjoy that. That would be really good. Well, that's coming up at 7.45 this morning with fat cats. So that'll be fun. Cheese is the most stolen food in the world. Really?
According to the internet. Why? About 4% of the global cheese inventory disappears every year due to theft.
No way. It's valuable. It's easy to hide. It's easy to resell or just eat. Those mice. No stealing all that 4% of cheese. I tell you. Well, happy cheese day.
Happy cheese day to you. I bet the Green Bay Packers are real happy today.
Oh yeah. A bunch of cheese heads and like Green Bay. Cheese day. They're all wearing their hats just around town. Yeah. But cheese day. It's a statewide holiday. Yeah. I bet.
I bet. Same in Tillamook, Oregon. Yeah, you're right. They're like, hey, cheese day. This is our day. Look at us. It's our day to shine. The big cheese. Cheese day. Yeah. That's what you call your boss.
Big cheese. The cheese.
Or somebody, if you want to mock them for, you know, if they have some like minor accomplishment or they get like a little promotion at work and you go, oh, the big cheese.
When was the last time you ever heard that?
I don't know. I feel like I need to throw that out there. Like, you know, when you run into people and they're like, what's up, chief? I want to be like, not much big cheese. That's a great comeback to it. To somebody who calls you chief. You call them the big cheese.
Yeah. How's it going, big cheese? I don't know what.
It's cheese day. Throw it in there. Make it work today. And have some cheese.
Hey, some good news. You ready? Yes. Back in 2004. So this is 22 years ago, which is weird to say out loud.
Yes. 2004 was 22 years ago because weren't the 80s, 20 years ago. Our son was born. I know.
2004. A firefighter in Colorado Springs named Allen Kent responded to an emergency call and ended up delivering a baby girl named Chloe. It was, she was delivered upstairs in her mom's house. He was the first person to ever hold her. She was born. Afterward, Chloe's mom brought the baby to the station to say thank you.
And right then and there made an agreement. Chloe would celebrate her birthdays at the fire station. And Allen promised to show up for every single major milestone in her life. Well, now it's been 22 years. He is now retired.
He traveled 800 miles to Phoenix, Arizona to watch Chloe walk across the stage and graduate from Grand Canyon University. Cute. Big, right? Yeah.
He said that in his decade as a first responder, he said, you see a lot of heartbreak. So getting to watch this little girl grow up has been an absolute blessing. And the deal isn't over yet. Chloe is getting married this summer and Allen has already got his ticket booked. He'll be there. Awesome.
That's nice. Isn't that cool? Yes. Yeah.
What a way to stick with something.
Yeah. Unless Chloe is like, hey, I don't really know. Yeah.
I'm sure that like celebrating birthdays, I'm sure
they've, I know, I'm sure there's been a lot of milestones in a person's life between the time they're born and the time they're 22. So anyway, I think it'll probably slow down after this. Maybe possibly.
Once you're married, like then you have your first kid. Now, what if he's there visiting and she goes into labor and it happens all over again. He's like, oh no, it's Groundhog Day.
I can't keep in touch with this one too.
I live 800 miles away. Anyway, that's some good news.
Would you just say to me, not too long ago?
The thing that you said, oh, say that? Is that the thing? So I just saw today is the two-year anniversary of the podcast version of the show. Woohoo. I know. I thought that was kind of exciting.
It's a birthday party for the podcast. Yes, it is. We've been doing the show in December. It will be four years.
Well, didn't you do a test run with me in November? Yes. And then it was a week or so later that you joined the show. Officially. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, so early December will be four. Is that right? That's right. That's crazy. We will hit four. That's crazy. Is that real? I don't know. Is it three? It's got to be three. Okay.
Let me look.
You look. While you're looking, I will talk about the podcast. Okay, I will. So the podcast is called Wake Up Classy 97, the podcast. We really stretched on the name. Really went out on a limb trying to come up with something creative. Yeah.
Four years in December. Four years. No kidding. Yep. Yep. I started in 2022.
How about that? We have published nearly, we're getting closer and closer every day to 500 episodes. We're around 480 episodes right now, which is pretty impressive. Yeah, it is. I would say. And the podcast is available to listen to anywhere you get podcasts. So if you miss a part of the show and you want to go back and listen or if you want to listen to the show in its entirety there and you just listen to it nonstop all the way through.
Yeah. Or if you want to jump around and maybe you have a favorite conversation you want to share with somebody, you can do that through the podcast. Anyway, you can get it on iTunes, you can get it on Apple Podcasts. I'm not an Apple guy. I listen on YouTube music. I listen on Spotify. You can listen to it on Amazon.
Pocketcast. You can tell your smart speaker to play the podcast. You can. So there's a bunch of different ways to listen to the show on demand when it's available for you. Because we're in here from six until 10 every day. So we're in here for four hours. It's about an hour or so every day of just us talking. About hard hitting news. Oh, yes. Very important conversation.
Because that's what people come to expect from this show is hard hitting conversation.
Facts in real time. Headlines. No.
If you've been listening to the show for any portion of the past four years, then you know, three and a half I guess, then you know what you know.
We're just silly goosein. Yeah. We're just silly goosein around. Just silly goosein. Yeah. Anyway, happy two years on the podcast. That's pretty exciting. That is exciting. If you're listening, thank you. Yeah. We appreciate it.
If you're listening now, we appreciate it. If you're listening later on your own time.
I'm always amazed when people do say they listen because I'm like, really? Yeah. You don't have anything better to do? Whatever. No, I appreciate it.
No, it's a big deal. Anyway, happy podcast birthday. There's a lot of episodes available. I wish I had a birthday horn. You can go back to the archives. Look at that birthday horn. Wow. It sounded like face from Nick Jr. Then he'd pop up and you go, good morning.
Yeah. I miss that guy. Face? Yeah.
Anyway. All right. Well, happy podcast birthday. And thanks for listening. To or a toddler. We are now in our terrible twos. They're putting AI into stuffed animals. What does that mean?
That's exactly what it sounds like. Chattie bear. Ew.
Yeah. I've seen this movie. It's a teddy bear. Yeah, I know. No kidding. Where did we see this? I think it was on Black Mirror. It was a, it might have been.
It might have been. But this is also the Chucky Doll. I mean, it's a million different things. Chattie bear is this super friendly teddy bear for now that kicks things off with a, hello, my buddy.
Isn't that fun? Yeah. Don't get chattie bear. They're throwing AI into toys so they can chat and tell stories and play games and act like a child's friend. It's teddy ruxpin of today. Yeah, but it's AI teddy ruxpin. Teddy, the teddy ruxpin of today is creepy. I know. And he's just trying to steal your information.
Yeah, it feels weird. It feels very weird. Like teddy ruxpin, you had a cassette tape you put in the back and then he would talk.
I didn't have a teddy ruxpin, but you did.
I know. But this AI Chattie bear, not a fan. I haven't seen a picture of it.
I also don't like the name. The name kind of gives me the creeps too. Chattie bear. Oh, go get your Chattie bear. What would you call it? Nothing. I wouldn't do it.
Okay. They're using genitori, genitorive engines like Chatchi PT to hold endless conversations with children as young as three researchers who tested six of them found significant safety concerns. You think? Yeah.
You think. Don't do this. Don't do this. This is a bad idea. This is a bad idea. Don't buy a Chattie bear.
This is a bad idea. Many of the toys are designed to sound human and use flattering, agreeable language that can foster intense emotional attachment in young children who may not understand that they're talking to a machine.
Have you ever used Chatchi PT for like some advice or like different like, not advice, but like if you've got an idea of something and you need help writing it or you need like whatever it is.
That's a great idea. And they're like, oh my gosh, that's the best idea I've ever heard. Chatchi PT is so flattering. Oh boy. Research has also found the infinite chat feature not only makes it harder for children to moderate their screen free tech use, but also funnel children's most personal disclosures into data pipelines that may train future AI models. There's your data, data theft and experts warn that the heavy reliance on frictionless AI companions during childhood could place the human interaction.
Kids need to develop social and emotional skills at risk, potentially increasing loneliness over time because they're missing a human connection and they're being told consistently yes. There's a lot of problems in the Chattie bear.
Hello, my buddy. Ew, go away Chattie bear. No one likes you. Yeah, it's a scary movie, but it's also real.
Don't buy it. I don't want it.
I'm not gonna. I don't want it around. No, Chattie bear gross.
Hey, hello buddy. Hey, wannabe pals. Like it just gets worse. It just gets crazy.
Yeah. No thanks. Ew gross, Josh. Thanks for bringing that story up.
It's a real thing everyone needs to know about. It's real. AI, Teddy Ruxman. Don't get influenced. That's the big thing. They're gonna run a bunch of ad campaigns. You're gonna see people going like, oh, that's a cool idea. Don't buy it. Don't buy it.
Our daughter loves potatoes.
This is a true statement. Yeah, she likes french fries. She likes tater tots. She likes baked potatoes. She likes boiled potatoes. She is a hobbit.
Mashed potatoes. She likes all forms twice baked potatoes, which I don't make nearly enough if you ask her.
I don't think she's tried scalloped or potatoes out of grottin. She might really like those.
Or we saw some. I should surprise her with that. We saw a recipe the other day that had smashed potatoes.
Right, which is just what basically I made last night. Not so much. You crisp it up, but it's the same. So I boiled potatoes and then smashed them. And then the next step is to put them on a grill while they're flat. Like a plantain.
Have you had grilled plantains? They're so good. Yeah. Anyway, back to potatoes. Spuds. Tubers. Taters. We are a, we're part of a recipe club.
I don't know what it's called. Subscription box. A subscription box. Yeah, there you go. It's a meal subscription box. They send to the house.
Yeah. And it's easy. And I like it. And it is helpful. Anyway, I just don't want people to judge me.
That's why I'm making all these. What do you mean? Because you don't go to the grocery store every day?
You can't go to the grocery store. No, you absolutely can. You just don't have to. Okay. So listen, the menu that we had was a baked potato bar.
And they are not quite, but go ahead. Yeah, it was. What would you call it? It was a chili potato thing. It wasn't a baked potato bar.
The recipe was like chili baked potato bar.
All right. But anyway, so there's these potatoes and then there's a chili I made and then there's like green onions and cheese and sour cream.
But apparently they don't know that we live in Idaho because they sent the wrong kind of potatoes.
Yeah, they did not send me baking potatoes at all. They sent me Yukon Golds, which I made work, but it was not, it was not a russet. Here's something else that I think is interesting. I don't like eating the skin on russet potatoes. Okay.
But I don't mind it on Yukon Gold or a red. What's that about? I couldn't tell you. Yeah, I don't either. I don't like the skin on a russet on a baked potato. A lot of people do. That's where all the nutrients are, they say. But I don't mind it on reds and Yukons.
You are growing potatoes. I'm growing reds and Yukons. Are you?
Not russets? No, that's a little bigger job. Why? I think I'd need a bigger bucket.
How many potatoes are you growing in each bucket?
I put four in each bucket, but I will get a lot more than that out.
How many will you get out? Do you think? No idea. Oh, lucky you're growing potatoes. Dozens. Wow, Josh. I'm kind of excited for your potatoes. I am too. Okay, I just found the recipe. Loaded beef chili baked potato bar. Why did they say that?
How about it? Loaded beef, what? Chili. Yeah, loaded beef chili. Baked potato bar. There was no bar. Listen to me. Listen to me. When they say baked potato bar, that means we're going to have a whole bag of baked potatoes and we're going to have 60 different things for you to put it on it.
There was quite a few options and stuff you could put on it.
Shredded cheese, tomatoes, sour cream. Broccoli. If you want to put the broccoli on there, sure. I did. Yeah. Green onions. Okay. And these are standard single baked potato items.
That's a baked potato bar.
That's options of stuff to put on your potato. Because then you would have like a liquid cheese, like a cheese whiz. You would have like bacon. You would have like the list would go on and on and on.
I tried to find more stuff in the pantry and I couldn't find, I was thinking that we had some crispy onions.
Right. But we used blue tortilla chips instead though. Those were good. Yeah. I gave it a crunch. Okay.
So our daughter, back to our daughter, she loves potatoes. She grabbed four potatoes.
They weren't that big.
They were little Yukon golds. Anything. She complains about every dinner we make. I know. She got four potatoes and put them on her plate and I went four. So did I.
You started with two and went back for two more. No, I did not. You did not? I did not. How many did you go back for?
There was a one teeny tiny one and I went back for that one. So I had like two and a half. She ate four. Yeah.
Well, she likes potatoes. She does like potatoes, but they're also small Yukon golds. So when you say four potatoes, don't be thinking she had four baked potatoes.
There's still quite a bit of potato. Good amount. They're delicious.
Nothing wrong with that. She's got to eat. No, I was excited. That's what they say about kids though, right? Eventually they'll eat something like they'll either eat little stuff until they're full or they'll eventually be like, I got to break down and eat a whole meal. Yeah. So we just reached that point. It won't happen again until more potatoes come out or steak or steak.
She is a steak and potato kind of gal. That is correct. Yeah. Highfalutin taste buds. I'm a steak and potatoes gal.
This is what happens when
you come over and look at this thing and then you got a hustle to get back across the room and I go, Hey, we weren't watching the clock.
That's what happens. Anyway, hi arrived home yesterday. So did I and was rudely assaulted. So was I by our teenage daughter. Same. By a squirt gun. Yeah. I didn't appreciate that.
I was met with hostility. I pulled into the, I pulled in front of the house on my motorcycle and I went to park and I pulled through and then I turned back toward the street and she comes out and she's got first person view video of attacking us, both of us with her phone rolling. She's running and squirting and I'm parking and I've got on my leather jacket and I've got on my helmet. So I'm pretty well protected. Like I'm not going to, and I've got gloves on. Like I'm wearing all like full coverage here. So I'm not getting wet. And so I'm like, okay, fun time. So I park, I get off the bike and I stand there and look at her and she's like, this isn't fun.
You're not even reacting. Oh, Josh.
I didn't have anything to fight back with, but she, she had a good time. So that's what matters. She came out from the gate. She was hiding it back by the cars. Like she was tucked away.
She was ready. She was waiting. Yeah. When I got home, I had, I was also a little bit protected because I have a lot of stuff. I had my lunch bag and my purse and my other bag and I had my water bottle and you had arms full. I had arms full. So I was kind of trying to protect myself with all that stuff. And then I was furiously trying to get off my water bottle lid because I was like, Oh, I got some water. I can attack too. And then I realized, Oh crud. I've been drinking lots of water today.
So it was like a throw. You're throw kind of missed.
Yeah. I'm not a great thrower. So I didn't do so hot, but luckily you came in clutch. Thanks.
Well, I happened to be watering the flowers when you pulled up. And so I just switched it to jet mode and went zoop, and then put it back on shower and then just kept watering the flowers like nothing happened. But it zinged her a little bit. Preach. Yeah. Well, it was more for me getting the revenge on earlier.
Oh, that was it. You were defending me. I mean, she's like, I've been watching you on life 360 for like an hour. Like, why wouldn't you just leave work? Like what has taken so long? And she's like, I've been waiting. I'm watching. And then, and then it got to be time when you were coming home.
She's like, here's where she is. Are you going to get in on this with me? And I was like, I don't know. We'll see what happens. Oh, you should have.
That would have been why I wanted her to have her moment.
No, I know.
But I think she, but that's why I was out there watering. I was making sure I was around a couple of years ago.
I surprised each of them when they both came home from school. It was the last day of school. It was the last day of school. Sorry, my microphone is squeaky. And I had water balloons ready and I had squirt guns ready. And I had one for each of them. And I said, come find us. Yep. And that was a super fun afternoon. And I think ever since then, she's been trying to recreate that moment.
It's a core memory. And so I think she bought these water guns. She went out yesterday about these water guns. I was like, we got us. Let's do this again. And you didn't even participate. I did. I participated.
Probably not in the way she expected. But I participated.
Okay, we got a plan. Let's plan a real, a real water fight, a real water fight. Yep. I'm going to write it down. All right. Put it on the calendar. As you do.
And then it'll be fun. And then we'll have a bunch of water balloon tails laying around the yard again that never go away. And that's a thing. That's what happens. Yeah.
Just mow them up. We did have to go to the store. And she was looking around at all the different water guns. And she's like, look at this thing. It has like a tripod. It's a whole turret.
Dude, that was $50.
I know, but it was crazy. She's like, this thing's nuts. She's like, it refills in like a second and a half. I'm like, how is that possible?
I go, where's the super soakers? They were right there.
They were there. I saw them. Yeah. We're going to have to get a couple of them. We're going to have some. We need to have a brawl. We're missing one because we had two big ones and two small ones. And I pulled them all out of the bin. Like I helped her. Making it sound like I didn't get involved. I was involved. We got out other stuff.
And where'd you find them? Where I told you they were?
I don't want to talk about where they were. I knew it. They were in one of the two places we talked about. They were either in the shed or the garage.
They were in the garage. You know it. Just say it.
No, I'm not going to say where they were. They were in a bin in either the shed or the garage.
And the world will never know. The world knows. We all know.
Where were they? In the garage. I don't know. You know it. Could have been. There's a 50-50 chance. They were in the garage or they were in the shed, but they were in a bin. But we're missing one of the big ones. I don't know where it's at.
Maybe it just got broken and we threw it away. Possibly? I'd say it's possible. I bet that's probably what happened.
Or maybe it's in another bin. No, there is no other bin. It could be in another bin. The world will never know. All right. I stumbled across something on Marketplace that I think we need to take a real serious look at. I sent you two links. Go ahead and open one. Let me know which one you open first.
I'm opening the first one first. I don't know which one that is. This is a... The Silver Eagle? Oh, I can't open it. I got to open it on my phone because
I tried to open it on my computer. But you're not logged in.
I am, but it says pages can't use. I'm on the... Okay, hold on.
So you're either on the Palm Beach or the Silver Eagle. You let me know which one you open. Okay.
Hold on. Hold on. Okay, here we go. Here we go.
I'm on the Silver Eagle. That's good. Okay. So this is this is pretty intense. Don't go through the pictures yet. Okay. This is a 1972 Silver Eagle bus. This is this is available for sale on Marketplace.
Only for $10,000.
Only 10. Now I want you to go look at this 40-foot Eagle coach. It's a bus. It but it is grandma's house on wheels. Okay. Oh, red. Yeah. So there's the nice right now. Look at it. It's grandma's house.
Maroon couches. Wow.
Floral prints. Look at the nice sofa.
Ask here's the recliners. Hold on. There's a family photo hanging in this RV. If you buy this, you have to ask if you can keep the family photo.
It looks like a school photo. It looks like an elementary school photo. Anyway, but look at it. Look at how nice a two-person dinette with little padded seat cushions. Look at the space inside this bus. I'm looking at it. Tell me it doesn't look like grandma's house.
It looks like grandma's house for sure.
All of the linens like the little toilet thing. They've got tile in the bathroom in the bus. I mean, I was blown away clicking through these photos.
Everything is floral print. Everything. And that like maroon color that was so prevalent in the 90s.
Except for the tile in the bathroom, which naturally is white and forest green. But it also matches the tile in the kitchen.
Forest green and maroon. That was like the color of the 90s everywhere.
It's a 1972 silver eagle. What do you think?
I mean, it's only, yeah, it's only $10,000. Let's go. It runs good. I'm only going to get it if I can keep that family photo.
Now it has two small TVs. It does say their older style, which means they're CRTs. I don't know what that means. They're big tube TVs. Oh, okay.
CRTs. Is that what they're called? Yeah. Okay. What do you think? Great. Yeah, get it. Yeah. Good. I can't think of a better way to spend $10,000.
It does need to get some tires and some work done on the generator. So they dropped the price considerably. They were originally asking 22. Okay. Now it's down to 10 to have grandma's house on wheels. Go ahead and open up that second link. I'm there. You're going to see that 1976 Palm Beach. Now it's twice as much money, but look at the curvature of the windows. Look at how it, it looks like a submarine, doesn't it? Kind of. I mean, what a looker.
This one is definitely more retro. Yes. Retro like 70s. The other one is super late 80s, early 90s. This one is very 70s. Yeah. Oh, there's some Sudoku magazines. If we buy this, we get those. Okay.
Three burner stove, double sink. It's kind of nice.
I can kind of smell what this one smells like.
You can smell this one, but you couldn't smell grandma's house. I think grandma's house is going to smell like a Yankee candle.
I kind of think grandma's house is a little bit nicer and it's cheaper.
Right. But it has to get tires and some work done on the generator.
So there's some money you got to put into it. Can I ask? Yes. Why were you looking at these old motor homes?
They found me. They found me. I think it's probably because we've been talking to Beck about the little dolphin, because I think it'd be funny for him to have one of those.
He wants a little dolphin. Yeah, because I think those are super funny. The little Toyotas that have a whole motor home on the back. But anyway, these ones stumbled upon my marketplace feed and I thought, look at that. They found you, huh?
Look at the Palm Beach has got a horn system on top. I want to hear those horns. I bet it sounds like a train. I mean, the thing is as big as a train. It'd make a lot of sense for it to sound like a train.
I think it just goes, ah-ooh-ga.
You do? You think it's got an ah-ooh-ga horn? Or does it have one of the ones that plays music? When it rolls up, because it's cool.
That is cool. We got to do that. We got to install that on our trailer. We don't have a motor home, but wouldn't that be awesome, Josh?
Yeah. You roll into the neighborhood and you play your little musical horn.
You pull up to camp and you're like, oh-ooh-ga. Everybody goes, oh-ooh-ga. Go back home. No one in the National Park wants you here. We've arrived.
Man, what a camping trip you could have in both of these. Where do you park something like that? I don't know. Think about our house. Where would I park either of these?
Nowhere. Nowhere. You'd have to buy a storage unit for them.
There's nowhere that I could park them. We're already tapped for space in our house with our four drivers and our trailer and our motorcycle. I know. We're tapped for space.
So can't, sorry to crush your dreams, but you're not buying these motor homes.
The tour bus, though. We could take the tour.
I've always wanted a family band. No, there's only one bedroom. There's a couch.
There is a sofa, a floral sofa. What a ride.
One of us can sleep on the floor. Yeah. Two in the bed, one on the couch, one on the floor.
Listen, if you're in the market, you can totally sneak in and buy it from under me.
If you take the driver's seat and the passenger's seat and turn them so they face each other, then one person can lay across those.
There's a big gap in between them.
It doesn't matter. Your middle's hanging off.
I'm not hanging middle.
It's not my seat. Paper scissors.
No, I'm taking the queen bed in the back. Why do you get the queen bed? I didn't say I had to be alone. Settle down. I'm not doing bent middle.
No, we all have to take turns. It's part of the band's life. I'm not doing it. It's my bus. Owners' rules.
It's the primary bedroom in the back and I'm the primary. So deal with that.
Sorry, you lost. You did. Paper covers rock. Yeah, I know I won. Get on the saggy middle seat. I'm not doing saggy middle. I am, for the most part, a jeans and sneakers kind of gal. I don't typically have a lot of style. I just basic comfortable. I disagree, but okay. Go ahead. Today I wore a dress.
Yeah, it's nice. And it's a new one. I like it. Thanks. I like it. It's a good find.
They had a couple of colors. I should have got some in more colors because it is cute. Let's start with the one. Okay. I didn't know what shoes to wear because I mostly wear sneakers. I wore some tall shoes. I'm sorry, I'm getting my tape measure from my keys.
You wore tall shoes. What shoes are you wearing? These? Oh, okay. That slides off if you wanted to hold it up.
You didn't have to it doesn't slide off your whole leg. No, there's a hook around my buckle. Yeah. Okay. Okay. They are two inches. Wow. Yeah, I'm two inches taller.
Are you getting nosebleeds?
No, but I when I was in the kitchen earlier, I could see on that top shelf. I was like, look at this. It's kind of amazing what two inches will do for a person. I'm like, look at all this height. Wow. As a five foot four person.
Today. No, I'm five six today. No, you're not. Yes, I am so. No, you are not. We're gonna measure. You're not five six today. Yes, I am. You're five four today. Oh, hold on.
Maybe they're not two inches. Hold on. The toe part is smaller than the heel part. Of course it is. What part do you measure? The heel part?
The heel part. That's where your leg connects to your foot. Two and a half inches. Yeah. So you are five four.
No. No, dude. I am not normally five two. I am five four. But look at all of my medical charts. Okay. So you lied. They do it. They measure me. I don't tell them.
Did they measure you with shoes on? No.
Yes. They don't. Come on now. Come on. We're not five four. I am. So this is really rich coming from you who can't accept the fact that your son is taller than you.
He's not. He is. We are the same height.
He is taller than you. No. Bro, you have a problem. I have a problem.
You're five two. Look who has a problem in the room.
Okay, I'm going to take this tape measure out.
Look how mad you are. How long is that tape measure? Three feet?
Bro, it is. Look at it.
It's not tall enough. Look, it goes. Read the side. It is. Three feet. How big is three feet? 36 inches. It's a 36 inch tape measure.
No, it is it. It's 39 inches. Oh, wow. So look it. You're just going to have to measure.
Why did they make a 39 inch tape measure? Come on.
I'm sure that we can find a real tape measure around here. We're going to measure. No, I know where there is one. Yeah. Okay. That's what we're going to do today. Right after this break. Oh boy. And then you're going to be eaten crow. No, I'm not. Yes, sir. You're five two. I am five. You have a problem.
You're five four today because you're two inches tall. No, dude. I'm five six. Yeah, dad.
And I'm five six. We're going to go find a tape measure right now. We have to end this.
You've got to settle this beef. Yes. Why is this so important?
Because I don't want to be shorter than I already am. I'm real tall today and real tall is five six.
We're going to get four inch shoes. You'll be five six. I can't. That's too high. Five six is too high.
No, four inch shoes is too high. That would make me five eight.
You should get those ones that that the what's his name? Monster wears Herman. Look up Herman monster shoes. If you don't know what I'm talking about.
I don't know what you're talking about. They're real tall. You liked the monster.
Yeah, I never did. Herman monster's shoes. Get some of those going. He had big ones. Yeah, they're pretty large. Yeah. Herman monster shoes.
I mean, that looks like a foreign shoe. It's got to be more than that. Yeah, it does look like more than that. I feel like that would just be heavy. You be clunking around everywhere.
It depends on if it's hollow or if it's solid rubber. What difference does that make? The weight would be very different. If that space is hollow, then it would be lighter. Yeah. Herman monster had some big old shoes. Man, those are gnarly.
And a big old forehead to boot. I was talking about his boots. I will accept your apology now. What for? Because I was five four. And today I am five six. No.
We just measured in the top of your heads at five four. Dude. That's what I just told you. No.
Yes. It was five six.
No. I just showed you the top of your head was a five four. We measured it three times. I know we measured it three times. And we had other people that said, Yeah, five four.
That's what just happened. No, it is not just what happened.
I think you misinterpreted the results as they were coming in.
I looked at the results. It said five six.
No, it didn't. I said, here's five four right here. This is where your head is.
Oh, we're going to do this again.
You borrowed a tape measure. We got all involved.
You measured me. I'm five seven. What are you doing? I'm going to take off my shoes and our our boss was right here and he verified five four. He did not. I did not. No.
Did you misinterpret the results? Because I said, here's five four. That's your head. Five four.
And then I looked at it and you were lying because it said five six.
No, it doesn't. I had the whole tape measure pulled out.
Dude, I feel like I'm going crazy. It said five six. I looked at it.
Well, yeah, right next to five four is five five and then five six. It said it. It wasn't where your head was.
I know. I think you're you're just afraid to apologize.
Why would I be afraid to apologize for you? Five four when you're five four with two inch heels on.
They're not heels. It's a two inch flats.
Whatever. You got two extra inches of sole on them shoes and that's making you five four. Okay, we're moving on. What is your driver's license say? Five four.
Five four. It says five four. Why did you lie when you filled that out? I didn't. What does the weight say?
Did you lie about that? Yes. So why wouldn't you lie about your height? Everybody lies. Did you lie about hair color?
No. What does my hair color say? I don't know what my hair color says on my license actually.
Now I got to look because what does it say for my hair color?
I don't know. What does it say for your hair? Does it say bold or none? None hair?
None hair. None hair.
What does it say? Oh, you can't read it old man. Let me see.
S. D. Y. What does that mean? Sandy? Do I have sandy hair because I'm the color of sand? It does say I'm five seven, which is accurate. My eyes are hazel. Is that true?
That is true.
I mean, unless you're wearing blue or green, they bring it.
If you're wearing blue, it brings out the blue hair.
S. D. Y. Sandy.
Now I got to know what mine says. Mine's in the car. I can't go get it really quick, but yeah, mine, it probably says red because it was a redhead when the last time I got it renewed. But you're not a redhead. I know I'm not. I don't know what it says.
Is sandy the nice way of saying dirty dish water?
That's what everybody told me my hair color was. That's why I'm going to dye it because dirty dish water, nobody
wants to hear that color. People said I looked rotund and I said that's why I'm going to dye it.
Hey, I saw. Is your weight, did you lie about your weight? No. You said you're a real weight. Yeah, it's accurate. Mine is give or take. It's an estimate.
Yeah, my height's accurate. My weight is accurate, but I have sandy hair. I mean, you do. Because my head looks like a sand dude.
No, because you have hair around your head and that is sandy with hints of gray. So. Sandy hair. Who determined that? I wonder.
Highly coveted, dimensional shade. It sits beautifully between light brown and dark blonde. Mimics natural sun bleached look of beach sand. Hey. Is that what I've got going? I think so.
Okay. Take off your hat. Let me see.
Well, you can see all of the hair without me taking off the hat.
It's like I'm on the beach. Wow. Let me put my toes in that sand. No. No. No. No. Okay. I just looked up the abbreviation SDY stands for sandy hair. Yeah, I would assume. They use it to describe light sandy or strawberry blonde hair color. I don't think I have that. I'm going to have to see what mine is.
I mean, why didn't they just write bald or NA or or none.
Gray. It's got some gray, but it's okay. I'm not mad about it. Silver fox and all that.
I've got gray hair in your five four with two inch shoes on. These are the things we learned today. Okay.
What is one thing I do that makes you question my survival instincts?
What is one thing that you do you do not have the same sense of direction that I do?
Not entirely true.
I didn't say it was bad. I just I feel like I've got a pretty strong sense of direction. You do. And I can navigate pretty well on land.
But I know my north, south, east and west.
That's what I'm saying. I'm pretty good about that. Yeah. But like I will get plunked down into a city and be able to find my way around relatively quickly. Yeah, that's true. Within a couple of, I don't know, maybe an hour. I kind of have a real good idea about road systems or public transportation, whatever it is.
Like you stop using GPS pretty quickly. Right.
And I kind of have an idea of where I'm going. Yeah, that's true. I had an intern years ago who was from California who was going to school in Rexburg lived in, you know, Rexburg and every time they went anywhere in East Idaho, GPS tell me where to go, where to turn, everywhere they went. And I went, you've been here for a few years. How have you not grasped some of the main roads and landmarks? Right?
Like, I don't know. That's just interesting to me because I work so differently. But I also didn't have GPS to rely on my whole life. Right. Like, you know, someone in their 20s would have had GPS forever. It would be around their whole time. They've been trying to navigate anything.
They've had that as a lean lean on. Like I was, my dad would tell me, go drive around, go drive, find out where that road goes. Like just go explore. So I would figure out what those roads were.
So you're saying I wouldn't survive because I don't know directions as well as you are?
I'm just saying I'm saying in a survival situation, being able to navigate and get to things, if you get plunked down into a jungle or a deserted island or whatever, and you have to find fresh water and you have to find shelter and you have to do all of these things, I think that would be a challenge.
But what, what would be the biggest challenge for me?
I'm saying you have to navigate to those things. Oh, yours, I see. And then find your way back without getting lost and then be able to return to those places frequently.
Yeah, I would, I would be able to do that. I think I would have no problem doing that. Okay. I think I would learn the area pretty quickly.
I don't think that would be a problem. Meat would be an issue. Yeah, that would be my, that would be my big hang up.
The fact that I would have to cut up.
Yeah, I would struggle with the I have to kill something to eat it myself. And then you have to dress it and it depends on what it is.
Do all of that, cut it up. Like a fish, I could handle a fish, I've done fish before, I don't want to do it. I like putting them back and letting them get big. But if it was a matter of survival and I had to catch and eat fish, that would probably be the thing I would have to do. Well, what if it was like just a mouse? I know, I couldn't do it.
Like on those survival shows where they have to set up that trap that squishes them flat? Yeah. Yeah, I don't like that.
And then you have to take all the fur off? I can't, I can't do it. You're right. That's the thing.
Meat, meat would, like protein is going to be the thing that gets you.
Uh-huh. Because you have to have it. Right. Yep, that would be my thing. You're right. And getting a fire started.
You could totally do it. It's not super difficult. I don't think that I could. You don't think you could start a fire? I'm going to teach you how to start a fire. You're going to start a fire. Let's do it tonight. You can start a fire. All right, let's do it tonight. We have a fire pit. It's not difficult.
Okay, let's do it tonight.
How do you want to start it? You want to start a flint and steel? Do you want to start it with a match? Do you want to start it with a lighter? Do you want to try the harder way? No, we don't have kerosene.
What year is it? Let me go and break out the kerosene lantern. We don't have kerosene laying around. Lighter fluid.
I do have charcoal lighter, but I want you to start with flint and steel, because I think you can do a flint and steel fire. Okay. I don't think you will, I think you'll, it'll be a challenge, but I don't think you'll fail at it.
Okay, let's try it. Put it on the calendar. It doesn't need to be on the calendar. We'll forget.
We're going to forget that you're going to start a fire tonight. We're going to, it's going to be Backwood's survival Chantel YouTube channel. Yeah, let's do it. Where you just sit there and it's only you trying to start a fire until you get it.
Okay, I'll try it. I'll do it. Oh, survival instincts tonight at the Tielor House.
Excited? Kind of. You're excited to start a fire? I'm excited. The smoke's going to get in your hair. I don't care. Okay. I'm getting a haircut tomorrow. It's fine. Oh, good. Okay, good. Just in time for prom, huh? I know. New hairdo. What? What are you going to do? Okay.
And then am I going to have to forge for my own dinner? Probably.
Dang it. It'll, you'll be foraging in the kitchen.
Where all the food lives. Easy. Where the food lives. Forage where the food lives. Cookies. Here I come.
That's what your dinner? Yeah.
You're going to forage cookies. If there's nuts in there, then that's protein, isn't it? Set. Done. Cookies and nuts. Wow. Picture of health.
Would you rather this or that?
Would you rather go on an African safari adventure? Fun. Or trek through the Amazon rainforest?
I feel like having been to the rainforests of Costa Rica, wandering through them is a really fun time. It's, there's a lot of different life under the canopy that you just don't get exposed to that it's pretty special. But I've never been on safari. I know it. So I'm kind of curious about that.
I'm going to, I'm going to go for the safari because I think that one sounds super duper fun.
So I'm just looking at an African safari. So where do you want to go? Botswana, Uganda, Rwanda, South Africa, Kenya, any of these places? All of them. Okay.
Pick one. I'll go.
Trying to see what you might see. What do you think you're going to see? Lions. Drafts in the wild. Elephants. Okay. Zebra. Doin' that noise they make? What's a zebra sound like?
You're always doing this to me.
What's a donkey sound like?
No, it's not going to happen.
Rhinos in the wild, maybe. Oh, cool. Yeah. Maybe cheetahs and leopards. Yeah. Yeah, let's go. What does a lion's growl sound like? Or a roar?
Nope. You know, no zebra. Listen to me. No, I'm not doing it. You know, the one time you used to make fun of, well, you still do, but you used to make fun of my sound effects so bad that I was like, I'm going to show you. And I checked out from the library. It was a children's book, but it was like, learn how to make all kinds of noises with your mouth.
Is that one of the books you didn't return on my library card? No, no.
It was on my library card. And I secretly checked it out because I was like, I'm going to show him. And then I never did it. You never read the book? No, they had an audio CD with it. No kidding. Yeah. And the guy was there telling you what to do to make different sound effects.
Did you listen to it at all?
I don't think that I did. I cannot even remember now.
What about kudu? You see some of those, kind of like deer.
We know a guy, our friend has a kudu horn. Yeah.
Buffalo or bison, they got the water buffalo. That's what those are, not bison. What about a baby elephant trying to figure out how his trunk works? That's a fun thing to watch. Hippos, they're crazy.
No, don't get too close. They're scary. Plus also, don't watch them eat.
What noise does a hippo make? I don't know. Couldn't tell you.
Okay, what are you picking? A safari. Okay. Yeah. Let's go right now.
Now I want to see Amazon rainforest. I'm curious what animals you might see there. Okay. Yeah. A lot of the stuff that I had seen. Monkeys. Sloths and parrots and...
See, that would be cool too.
It is really cool. And the tropical frogs, the rainforest frogs are cool. Toucans are cool.
Capybaras. Did you say that one already?
Did you know I heard someone the other day say, how have I not figured out that capybaras are just ROUSs? They are. They literally are. Rodents of unusual size. So yeah, some different monkeys and stuff would be kind of fun. But I've seen some of these things in the wild in Costa Rica, but you haven't. So I'd be down to go to either one with you. Okay.
Same. I would pick either one. I don't necessarily have to choose. I'll just go to both. Okay. I dig it.
Would you rather this or that? What's the noise a zebra makes? Couldn't tell you. I'm a little... Okay, I'm a lot grossed out by this. Back in 1991, scientists discovered Europe's oldest known mummy. Okay.
5,300 year old corpse found frozen in a glacier. Encino man. Okay.
Yeah. It is an ice man. Is it Bringen Frasier? No, it's not.
They called it Otsi. Scientists in Italy recently found inside a melted water pool within the mummy's frozen body some ancient yeast. So naturally, as you do, they somehow some way found a way to bake some bread using the mummy yeast inside a pool water inside the mummy's body. They made a very, very good quote unquote loaf of sourdough bread. It's very, very good.
Who says it's very good?
The people that made it. Scientists in Italy found ancient yeast living inside the melted water pooled within the mummy's frozen body and they came up with a wild idea to bake bread with it. They took three months of experimentation and they used the mummy's prehistoric yeast to bake what they call a very, very good loaf of sourdough bread.
Would you eat that bread?
No, but they did and that's how they know it's very, very good. Oh, that's so gross. I am not into it. The researchers are thrilled. The museum is keeping a close eye on the mummy's safety, of course. So now, did they build a start? Of course they did. Now there's a mummy yeast, what do they call that? Is it just a start? Like when you go to make sourdough? I don't know. And you have to have the thing.
Is it just a starter? It's a starter. A sourdough starter, right? Yeah, they have this now. They have created a sourdough starter from mummy yeast. 5,300-year-old mummy yeast.
Girls. Hey, yuck. Mandy.
Would you say you wouldn't eat mummy yeast bread?
Would you eat the starter, like the bread that's made from the starter? I feel like I would eat the starter.
The starter is, you have to make that first. That's the thing you have to make out of the yeast and then you use that in your sourdough process. You have to feed that thing. Yeah, I know. They sit there and now they feed that thing. They have a mummy yeast starter thing in a jar somewhere.
Delicious. I don't care for it. Look at you. You can't even sit still. You're so grossed out.
I don't want to eat mummy bread.
Yuck. I wonder, quick question, when they found the mummy, did they thaw him out and then take him to get a slurpee? He didn't come to life.
So no. This would be a combo of Encino Man and Weekend at Burnies.
No, just Encino Man. Did they take him to wheeze the juice?
No, Polly Shore. They did not.
I gotta watch that movie again.
Do you? Yeah, I love that movie. They talked about doing a sequel. No. Like years and years and years ago. I don't think it ever, it never happened.
No, they just have to leave it alone. They could be Encino Dad. Hey. No, I think he went back to his people, didn't he? I have no idea. Spoiler alert.
Oh yeah. On a 1991 movie, which was probably the same time they found Oatsey. The yeast bread man. Yuck. I gotta go do something else. Let's wrap up this show. Have a great rest of your Thursday. Tomorrow is Friday. Finally. It's been a long five-day week.
What is this? This is a bad, cruel joke. Yeah, it is. All right. Have a good day. We'll see you back here tomorrow. Goodbye.
