Full show transcript:

Did you see the story out of West Yellowstone this morning? So they had to close down all the roads yesterday, about 5pm. Heavy snow, ice and high winds were making travel increasingly dangerous in the park. So throughout the day Yellowstone staff had to respond to more than 30 vehicle accidents.

Oh no. They had slide offs, they had stranded motorists in multiple different areas. Now let's talk a little bit about the way people drive in Yellowstone. They're crazy. They're crazy and they just stop and now add to that whiteout conditions, drifting snow. And most of these people are from out of town. And people that don't know how to drive in the snow. Yeah and then add into it bears and bison and wolves and elk and stranded humans.

Oh no. So the closure as of this morning, all park roads that are south of Mammoth Hot Springs are temporarily closed while crews are reassessing the conditions. The road connecting Cook City Montana and Gardner, those ones are the only routes still open. You can check for updates before traveling obviously. You can call the park and find out which entrances are open and stuff.

They do have a text line and things if you want. But nearly all the roads in Yellowstone National Park south of Mammoth Hot Springs are closed right now because of these what they're calling treacherous driving conditions. 30 vehicle accidents. That's nuts. That's a lot.

And with an already limited staff because of some shutdowns. Yeah. Oh no. Everybody be kind. Be nice.

Be patient. If you go into the park, expect snow. I'm looking at pictures of the, this was this morning and there is snow at the entrance. This is the east entrance. So this is the one that we usually take to get in the park. And there's a good amount of snow.

A good amount. Oh man. Yeah. So it's snowed in west if you didn't know. Be safe. Everybody. It's here.

The fluffy white snowy stuff is here. What are you going to do? I'm going to be happy about it.

That's right. And we'll talk about that in the show which starts now. Well we are officially in the final week of October. There's only a few days left and then it's November. Oh my. Oh my. It's insane.

It's a little bit insane. Also happening this week. Halloween. Why did you say it like that?

Because I thought it'd be fun. Oh. Try it. Try it.

No. Halloween. And time change. So there's a lot going on. And it's the good one. It's the good time change. It's the fall back one.

So this is the last week. You have to feel like, oh. And then you get that extra hour and then you're like, woo hoo.

And then about three days later you go, oh. Because it's still just waking up. It's still just waking up early.

It doesn't matter. And then it's just going to be lighter earlier. Yeah. Darker earlier.

Yeah. You go to work in the, you said lighter earlier. It's darker earlier. You, at the end of the day, you go to work in the dark. You leave work in the dark. That's.

It's just the darkness. And that starts this weekend. And seasonal depression. And have that. You know, you got to have some of it. What do you mean I got to have some of it?

Because if you don't have the seasonal depression, how will you have the summer sunnies? The sweet and the sour, is that what you were saying? Sure.

Can't have the sweet without the sour? Sure. I'm going to try and be more positive about the winter than I ever have before. How do you plan on doing that?

I don't know. That's an interesting stance. I just get so cranky about it that I, I'm going to try something different.

Okay. I think the best way is to enjoy your time in it. Because you enjoy the warmth of the summer and the activities, the camping, the things. You're going to have to enjoy some winter activities. Like what? Well, like playing in the snow in various different ways. Like example, sledding. That's the only snow activity I like.

That's the only one that you like so far. Snow machining might be your thing. That might be a thing. I don't have a snow machine.

You're right. But there's like places you can do rentals and you can take little tours and go see wildlife in the, in the snow. There's a winter Yellowstone tour that you can take. That sounds fun.

I'd enjoy that. Yeah. There's hot cocos. Hot cocos is great.

Hot cocos. Why is that not a place? Why is there not a place called hot cocos? That just sells hot cocos? That you can just go to in the wintertime.

Next business idea. I'm full of them, I tell you. Anyway, let's get through the rest of October, get into November, go through a time change, and then we'll figure out how we're going to make sure you enjoy the winter season. I didn't say I would enjoy it. I just said I was going to be more positive about it.

That's all. And I said the only way to be more positive about it is to do stuff in it and then you'll enjoy. We'll see what happens. Okay. All right. Well, hey, good morning.

Hey, good morning. So apparently the French police say they've arrested two men in connection with the jewel heist. Yeah.

So October 19th, that's just eight days ago at the Louvre, these men broke in, stole jewels, and escaped in just a few minutes with this ladder truck. Yeah. Are they?

You were asking. Do they really have somebody? Or are they just saying that to get the pressure off their backs a little bit while they need to investigate?

Perhaps, I guess. One suspect was detained at an airport while trying to fly to Algeria. The other was caught while heading to Mali. Is that how you say that? I don't know. Mali, M-A-L-I.

Both are French nationals known to authorities for past burglaries and trace DNA evidence from a helmet left at the scene that matched one of them. This sounds like a hit. You left evidence?

No. They, someone planted evidence. The guys who broke in said, this is robbery gang rival is what it is. And so you get a little DNA from a helmet.

If you can break into the Louvre and take some stuff in a couple of minutes, it's going to be easy to break into the other dudes, the other robbery rivals house, take a helmet, and then when you're stealing jewels, leave the helmet. I see what you're saying. You see what I'm saying? You see what you're saying. Yeah, it's a setup. Huh. Is that what you really think? That's my take. Why not?

Because here's the other thing. Investigators say they're still looking for at least two other suspects and the stolen jewels, which remain missing. Yeah, you're not getting those jewels back.

I hate to tell you. Those are gone. Done. Done. Gone.

They've already removed all of the jewels out of each of those pieces. Yes, I do. Do you want to know the value of what they're saying the theft had?

Go for it. $102 million. Like it's big. It's big. But it's not that big.

Bro. I mean, that's big. I get it. That's big.

I understand. But they took like a lot of jewels. It's $102 million worth of jewels.

That's a lot. But I would expect it to be, why not $500 million? If you're going to do it, do something for $500 million.

I think that's a pretty big heist myself. But it's big, but they can't turn them into anything. They can't do anything with it. It has that value. It doesn't have that realized value. That's why you take out all the jewels and you sell them piece by piece. Or you already had a buyer.

That too. You have to have somebody in a royal line somewhere who is like, I want my jewels and they won't let me have them. And so you're going to go get them for me.

And here is $50 million to go do it. I see. Interesting. You see. I do see.

I do. And then they split that between them, whether that's two or four ways, that's a good hefty chunk of change. I don't know if I believe that they've got somebody in connection.

Interesting. I wonder if they're just like, hey, everybody ease up a bit. Or they got the DNA helmet guys, but they didn't get the actual guys.

And these guys are like, it's not even, we weren't even there. Then you got to have an alibi. And then you got to be able to prove that somebody stole your helmet. Like there's a lot of things you have to prove in order to to remain confident in your innocence. It's a whole thing. It is a whole thing.

That's the latest. French heists. They're the best heists. So far. All right.

Here's some good news because you got to have something. In England, there's a group of woodcarvers. They call themselves the Yorkshire Spoon Club. Because well, because one of the first things that you learn how to carve is a spoon. And they're a wood carving club. Yeah. They're helping keep tree trimmings out of landfills by turning fallen trees into stines and bowls and spoons.

They meet once a month near the small city of Bradford. And they quickly turn any tree in that city that's reached the end of its life into a work project. Dave Watson, the Spoon Club's founder, says the fallen city trees are a big help to the dozens of club members who enjoy this particular hobby. And it also says it kind of reminds you of the forest and also spending time in the woods with their carving tools and friends. They just get to travel around. Yeah. You know, they meet, they go to this town. People bring them a tree or whatever and they go, cool. Let's get carving, boys.

I want to be part of the Spoon Club. Yeah. What are they called? They're called the Yorkshire Spoon Club. They are a wood carving group. And their cups look great. Like it's really cool the stuff that they're able to make. But yeah, they just sit around in like a carving circle and they hang out, whittling wood. Man, I really want to do that with them.

Can I please? You can make spoons, bowls. These stein mugs are so cool.

Oh man, oh man. I think it's awesome. Anyway, I could be a part of that. You absolutely could be a part of that.

Sit around in the woods carving mugs and spoons. You and our buddy Carl. Oh dude, I could do it all day. Oh man, they're actually really cool pieces. Yorkshire Spoon Club.

These mugs were made from the older tree which fell in shipply during Storm Amy. Oh man. Man. I want to be a part of the Yorkshire Spoon Club. That's pretty cool. Do I have to carve wood or can I just sit around and? You have to carve. It's a wood carver's club.

It isn't a wood carver's sit-around club. But I could be like the assistant. Like, ah, you need a knife sharpened? I'll do it. Ah, you're chilly?

Let me get you a sweater. What? I'll be the assistant. I don't know. Just carve some wood with us. Okay. Maybe.

And throw a shawl on every now and then if someone needs it. That's fine. That's a strange thing. Anyway, that's good news. Someone stole your mac and cheese idea.

Yeah, I'm not exactly excited about it. We went to dinner on Saturday, Friday, Friday night. And yeah, this particular place had a whole insert in their menu. So let's be clear. First of all, this isn't like the only food they serve.

All right. Spoonworth's mac and cheese is still safe. For year-round, all the time, delicious mac and cheese options. But this insert was pretty darn close to Spoonworth's business mom. And it was delicious. Yeah, it looked pretty good.

It was a build your own. Have you eaten your leftovers yet? I kind of forgot I had them until just now. Yeah. That sounds good. It does sound good. But yeah, it was a build your own mac and cheese. And I don't know about the crumbled up Goldfish crackers. Okay.

I didn't either. But then, and she even goes, do you want the crumbled up Goldfish crackers on top? And I go, yeah. Anyway, yeah.

Go all in. Okay. And it was pretty tasty. Was it? I didn't mind it at all. I like a bread crummy thing for texture. I'm not mad about that on the mac and cheese at all.

I just was unsure about the... Likewise. It was good. The Goldfish crackers. It was tasty.

Yeah. And then you got like a little chopped up chicken in there. That was a nice fried chicken.

Yep. Tender that was all chopped up and then a nice sauce in there on top. How was the...

They take a rub and they sprinkle that on there too. How was that? Also good. Okay.

I was unsure about the rub as well because I went, uh, that seems like a lot of combined flavors. And she was like, no, it's good. Okay.

And she was right. Nice. So, so run me through, I guess, everything else you put on it.

I put... It's a mac and cheese base. Yeah.

Cavatappi, noodles. Okay. Those are the spiral ones. Yeah. You get to pick what kind of protein to go in there. So they had like a floppy Joe that you could put in there. Right.

No, thank you. They had a... Like a pulled pork option. Yep. Like a sweet pork. They had bacon.

They had... Okay. What's the... Chicken tender. Yeah.

I had the chicken tender. Right. With the sauce on it. Yeah. What's that called?

I don't know what you're... They have like their own special chicken finger thing there. And I can't think of what it's called. Sticky finger. Sticky finger. Yeah. Thank you.

I could not... Chicken tender. Yeah. And then you got to choose like an extra cheese to put on top of it. Right.

So you could put extra parmesan or you could put extra queso fresco. That's what you did. Yes. Yeah. And so I did that and then you could pick a rub and then you could put a drizzle.

Right. So I put another drizzle of something on there and then you could pick add-ins. So I got caramelized onion. And I got... Oh, you added mushroom.

I did add mushroom. No, no, no. Yeah. And tomato. I added tomato too. Right. But you can see how the options could be like spoon-worths, mac and cheese come on. And we serve it with a spoon. Right.

Because that's the whole joke. And people go, but what if I want a fork? Get your spoons worth. No, it's a spoon. So it's like a soup? It's a spoon-worth spoon. No, it's mac and cheese. But you have to eat it with a spoon. Mac and cheese soup. No, it's normal mac and cheese. Do you at spoon-worths get to pick your own noodle? I don't know.

What do you think? Or do you have one noodle? I feel like we've got to have like the best mac and cheese base that you could ever start with.

Because you might just want regular old mac and cheese. Right. So we've got to have a base and that base needs to be solid. So whatever that base noodle is, that's what it's all built on. Because it's going to be a mess to keep different kinds of noodles in stock. So you're going to go for elbow?

I don't know. You going for cavatappi? You going for bow tie?

I'll tell you what I'm going to go for. I'm going to go for a trip to Italy to find out the best noodle. Because then I'm going to go, this is a noodle nobody's ever seen. I bet people have probably seen that noodle. Well, they've seen it. But not in the mac and cheese maybe. I bet people have probably seen it in the mac and cheese. There's not a lot of mystery foods out there these days.

Yes, there are. I'm going to go talk to, there is some little Italian like hole in the wall pasta guy who's like just waiting for his big day. And he's going to be my pasta guy for Spoonworth's.

Okay. And it's going to be amazing. I can't wait. I'm excited. Get Spoonworth's off the ground. This is now two today, two giant big business ideas we've talked about. I know. Man.

So maybe they're side by side. Spoonworth's next to hot cocos. Hot cocos is pretty awesome. I don't know if it's sustainable.

Nobody's going to want hot cocoa in the summer. No, I know. We can have other things. Like. You have to have other things.

Ooh, like frozen hot cocos. Oh. You remember? I do remember.

You remember the frozen hot cocos? In Toronto? Yes. Yes. I do.

Hot cocos doesn't just have hot cocoa. We have never been able to recreate. I got really close. But we had, let's make that again. But hot cocos can make their own. They can have their own recipe. It doesn't have to be the same as the top of Toronto.

I understand. In Toronto. Oh man, that was the best hot cocoa. What did they call that? Do you remember? No.

No. We had like three of them a day. I know. Then we were like, where did I live? Our money go. Went to hot cocos. Hot cocos could be right next to spoonworth's. You bet they could. Absolutely. Hot cocos needs a drive through though. Agreed.

So does Spoonworth's. Yeah, because you gotta have it. You gotta have it to go. To go mac and cheese.

Yeah, you gotta be, it's easy. It's easy to eat on the go. That's a road trip food for sure.

Or if someone's coming home from work and they're like, I don't know what to make for dinner. I got it. They're gonna swing through. I'll swing past spoon's work.

And you can get like a big platter of it. Oh, genius. We were eating popcorn over the weekend. And when you eat popcorn, you typically just grab a handful. But then when you've had enough popcorn, like you've been eating it for some time, there's certain pieces that you go for.

What pieces do you typically go for? I don't get that picky about it actually. Okay. I didn't know that you got that picky about your popcorn pieces. I know you like the kernels at the end. But I like the little skins at the bottom. But I just am happy to have popcorn. I really don't have a preference of what piece I grab.

Okay. I don't like a soggy piece. Ew, nobody likes soggy popcorn. I'm just, you know, I have a preference of how I like my popcorn to be. But I don't, I'm good with just eating it up. I don't have a problem.

Okay. I didn't know there was a thing about getting picky about it. Sometimes people like Emery goes, she likes to go for the most buttered ones. And I like to go for, I like the ones that have the kernel. Yeah. Like I like the kernels.

They'll have popped ones. Yeah. Yeah. I like those ones because they're a little bit crunchy.

Right. I just have popcorn. I don't, I'm not, I don't think about it that much. You, I'm glad to see that you're finally eating popcorn again because there was a time when we weren't eating popcorn at all. Right. Did that offend you when I wasn't eating popcorn? No. Yeah, no, it was, that was some good popcorn. That's probably why. And I was hungry. Those are two reasons I would eat popcorn. Because it's good popcorn and I'm hungry.

Because you don't typically like popcorn because it gets too stuck in your teeth. It certainly does. Here's, here's the thing that was fun. A straw wrapper scrunched up in dim light looks exactly like a piece of popcorn. So if you drop one in and other people at the table kind of know about it, you all get to have a good laugh at one person's expense. And then how was it when you had that straw wrapper in there?

Well, when you're the person having the expense, it's not very fun when everyone's laughing and they won't fill you in on the joke. Yeah. You kept just saying that. Well, it's so funny. And then I just kept saying, well, she has some more popcorn to find out. And I did. And I found out. And then you did. And then you took it out like, what is wrong with this piece?

What I thought was interesting is when it came out, it was butter colored. I know. It wasn't when it went in. It was a white wrapper. But it came out butter colored. Explain that. Because there was other popcorn mixed in with it when I grabbed a handful. Yeah, that tricks out. And I went hilarious.

You guys are hilarious. We kept like picking pieces right around it because it looked really like a popcorn thing in there. If you just squish it up into a little ball and drop it in popcorn, you almost didn't know. I was worried you were going to eat it.

And then I was going to have to go. I did eat it. No, I was worried you were actually going to like fully swallow. Oh, it wouldn't have hurt me if I did swallow it. I understand. It's just a straw wrapper. But I was watching you eat popcorn.

Like, is she going to find it? But that's also gross. How dirty.

Go Rose. People touch that straw wrapper. You made me eat it. Go Rose. Double go Rose. Yeah, well. Hilarious. You fell for the joke. I know you guys are hilarious. Wow.

What a prank. It was pretty good. I'm pretty happy about it.

Go Rose. Did you survive? I think I'll be okay. Okay, good. That's the most important part. You're going to be okay.

Just my feelings are hurt. You and I had a little bit of a, not really a costume party, but we had a family get together and we dressed up. I didn't know what to wear. My costume hadn't arrived yet. I ordered some things from Amazon. They didn't arrive in time. I didn't have all of my full parts either.

What am I going to do? I go through our Halloween bin. We've got a couple of Halloween bins. I'm like, I could go, this is Peter Pan did that last year.

Could do that again. Two years ago. Oh yeah. You're right. I was like, no, I don't like that idea. I'm not doing that. And then I said, oh, hey, here's a wig.

I could also go as a middle school boy. Because that's a bit that I've been doing around the house. And it drives our daughter crazy. And I think it's really fun. Because you're really good at it. To jump up and smack the doors as you walk through them and to throw out all the brain rot and give a bunch of different phrases that Gen Z and Gen Alpha just love. Being thrown around. It was pretty fun.

Yeah. So then we both just dressed up as middle school boys. You were Zaden and I was Braxlin McRiddle was my last name. Braxlin McRiddle. Sort of like the best breakfast sandwich ever.

But different. We carried around some PS5 controllers. We asked where we'd be dropping boys. Shad. Where we dropping boys.

Let's go. Stuff like that. All that. It was a hit. It was a hit. Now you had to at one point leave the shindig to go pick up our daughter from work. And you said that she got in the car and didn't even give you a second thought.

No. She was not annoyed by it. She just was like whatever. Yeah. This is just my mom. No.

It was mostly like I'm not going to give you the attention that you want. I see. Kind of a thing. Were you what's up bro in there? Yep. What's up bro? Yep.

And she just was like I'm not playing along. Yeah. Oh okay. So we just rode back to the house and then she said what's dead dressed up as. I said you'll find out. And then as we drove up and you met us outside.

Yeah. I came out of the house on the front porch and went what's up. She went you're both dressed like this. And then we did our big dab and it was fantastic. And then she went I'm going inside.

I'm not going to pay either of you any attention. I did have to borrow some clothes. I borrowed some basketball shorts from you. A hoodie from Beck. I needed some white tall Nike socks.

I don't own any of those. All my socks are no shows or wool. When it's cold. So I went into Emory's room and I was like surely she's got some.

I didn't even ask her because I knew that she would tell me no. And so I just grabbed a pair. And the pair I grabbed have some holes in them. And I was like okay. She's I guarantee she's not wearing these anyway. But I did tell her that I when I picked her up I go I had to borrow some of your socks. I'm sorry. And she goes I don't want those back. And I went why.

And she goes after they've been on your dogs. No. What.

No thank you. How rude. I have a plan. What's your plan. Put them in her laundry basket.

She'll never know. I put them in my laundry basket and I washed them. And now where are they.

In the dryer because I haven't taken them out. Oh I see. I see. Do you have a plan.

No what plan do I have. Are you just going to put them back in the drawer and pretend like nothing happened. I feel like I should.

Yeah I do too. I washed them. Yeah. They're clean. I know they are. And she'll never know.

I wore them for like three hours. Right. On your dogs. Yeah.

My feet aren't that disgusting. Jesus. Weasel. They are too. She's a 16 year old.

She's like. Not those dogs. Put your dogs away. Make me feel bad kid. Well. I don't know what else to say about those socks.

But that's what I. If you've already washed them. I just would have put them in her laundry basket because she never would have known. She wouldn't. I just throw them in her room.

Fair. Yeah roll them up. Can't find anything in that room. Yeah put them right under the edge of the bed. I almost died in there trying to get those socks. I stumbled over a bunch of stuff and I went.

I got to get out of here. There's not even a clear walking path. It was a fire hazard. The kids need to clean their rooms. Yeah I know. Who's managing this house. I don't know. You two clean these rooms.

Nobody's managing anything in our house. I know. That's fair. That was fun. It was a good time. And it was it was fun being middle school bros with you. That was a good time.

It was fun. We need some pumpkin carbon. Yeah you and I decided this year we were going to share a pumpkin. Best idea we've ever had. I think it was awesome.

It was great. I don't care for the clean and amount part. And I don't care for the carbon. And so that worked out really well. And then we just decided on a design. I made it happen. Done. Good team. Pumpkin done.

We made a good team. Yeah I think so. In fact at one point our four year old left you came up to me and said where's your pumpkin.

I said I made one with Josh because I like to clean out the guts and he does it. Yep. And he went oh and they walked away. He had carved a small face in his and then did some paint on the outside. It was very very colorful.

It was. Very cool pumpkin that he did. There were a couple of white pumpkins in the mix which interestingly enough smelled like cucumbers or honeydew. They did not smell like your typical pumpkin which I was quite happy about. Yeah but what we discovered is that they're part of the melon family. Well pumpkins in general are melons. And your cousin is allergic. Yeah so that turned out that his eyes didn't so much like being in the room after a while.

They kind of are starting to get shut. Poor guy. I know. He said he took a Benadryl and slept it off and he's okay so that's good.

But yeah it was quite the pumpkin carving event. Here's what I found out. What's that?

Years and years and years ago when I first met you you were like let's carve the bottom of the pumpkin. That's right. That way you can't see the ugliness of the. Of the cap. Yeah exactly. I thought that was brilliant. That was the most brilliant thing you've ever said. And I've not cut the top of my pumpkin ever since then. Here's what I found out though.

Get a load of this. They say that you should not cut the stem off your pumpkin. You should not cut the top part of it because that is like an umbilical cord. That makes sense. It's where it hooked to the vine. The stem was attached to the vine so that stem still holds all the nutrients.

That's right. So don't cut it off because when you do that all the nutrients are gone. Yeah you cut the bottom. So it's going to rot faster. I like it because yeah the cap every time I've done the cap and then you put the um you put the candle in there the cap starts to fall in. It gets soft and soggy and then it falls inside your pumpkin. That's because it's rotting at a much quicker rate. Right.

Because you've chopped off all its nutrients. How about that? Things we learned today. And also we have a good looking pumpkin. Did you take a picture of our pumpkin?

Uh no. We'll have to post a picture of our pumpkin. It's a pretty good looking one. I think I took a picture of you next to it but I didn't. I didn't take like it doesn't look like I had anything to do with it.

We need a picture of you and me and our pumpkin. I mean I didn't carve it but I cleaned it. Yeah which is the harder part in my opinion. That one was surprisingly easy.

Was it? It only took me a few scrapes and I was like this is done. It was easy.

That one was super easy. I wonder if they're making pumpkins different. I don't know. Or you're just that good at it. I might just be that good at it. I'm pretty good at cleaning out a pumpkin.

Way to go. It's a good scraping. Good skill of mine. Did you use the auger thing or did you just scrape it by hand the whole thing?

No I scraped it by hand. Look at you go. I actually really enjoy that part of it. Really? Huh. Good for you. I know a lot of people think it's gross.

I'm not into it. I like it. Yeah.

I don't mind it. Maybe that makes me aware though. That's not it. It's something else. The kids went with their cousins to a haunted attraction this weekend and they waited two hours in line over two hours to get it.

They said it was worth it and I've been to this haunted attraction and it is good. Okay. Okay, but here's what happened. You and I had been invited to go out with some friends and we were both kind of like, no, no. I'm already home.

It's cold. I mean, we had finished up like with our other event and it was late. By late, how late was it? I mean, it was probably 10.

Yeah. I'm in. I'm home. Why am I going to go out? You were kind of stoked to go out when they initially said to invite and I said, oh, I just want to go home. But I was like, I'll go out if you want to go out and then we get home and you said, I'm pretty in now.

I don't think I need to go out. No, we did not. So we turned on a movie that we've been trying to finish for the past couple of weeks. We keep there falling asleep. And I said, I've seen this episode and you go, I haven't. And I go, okay, well, don't fall asleep. And then you lay down and I said, hey, don't fall asleep.

And you said, I'm not. I was good for a long time until I wasn't. And then that left me waiting up alone with the kids. I mean, I was still there. You were still there, but it was just to sleep. Yeah. You didn't know what the kids were doing.

You had no idea. So I'm sitting there going, whoo, trying to keep my eyes open. It's now 1230, much, much later past my bedtime. Yeah, that's pretty late. Moly. Yeah.

And then they get home, you wake up and you're like, I'm ready to do something. I know. What are we doing now? We hanging out?

What's the plan? You were offended when I said, I'm going to bed. I just was ready to hang. Because you had taken a two and a half hour.

That's what I'm saying. I was ready to hang out now. I was not to hang out now.

No, because I'd like to. Why are we just now going to bed? I'm going to bed. I had a little nap. I'm ready to hang out. Can we hang out? Nope. OK. It's getting harder and harder to wait up for these kids.

I'll tell you. Well, that was pretty late. And we're old people. And that's just the way it goes. I go to bed. My bedtime is 10 o'clock. Don't deviate from my schedule.

Don't. About 9.45, my body starts winding down like, yeah, that's about time. That's how I felt. And then you were like, I'll scratch your back. That was a bad idea. That was a bad idea.

It was a great idea to be real. It just it ruined me. And then I was like, now I'm really sleepy. Because I was fine until then. And now I'm like, but sleep, you know, sleep. I know.

It's so good. I get you. But then don't come after me when I'm like, hey, I've been waiting up for the kids for three hours. I'm ready for bed. I wasn't mad at you. I know, but you.

I think the words that came out of your mouth were like, you're going to bed. Yes. I've been up here waiting. It's one o'clock. I'm going to bed.

I'm not 20 years old anymore. Or we could stay awake and watch a movie. How long do you think I would have stayed awake if we would have done the movie?

If I could have talked you into watching another movie. Five minutes, 10 minutes, 15. How long do you think you would have stayed awake? I'd say in the amount of time.

I don't think a different movie would have had any kind of difference. But now that I had that little nap. Oh, I see what you're saying. So you're saying a movie after the movie. Yeah, like when I was now awake after I'd fallen asleep a little bit and was ready to do something, if we would have turned on another show, how long would I have been awake? And then you would have been like, we should have just gone to bed when I said. I bet you would have stayed awake for about a half an hour to an hour. That sounds about right. It's a good thing we just went to bed then.

Yeah. We went to the store yesterday and I go, oh, hey, we need some squirrel food. We hadn't had squirrel food in a very long time. Let's grab this giant bag of squirrel food.

Yeah, it's what it's going to be winter time. They need to store up in there in their little nest. And I like feeding the squirrels. And next year in the spring, I plan on building a little bit more of a squirrel situation in the front yard. If for no other reason than to drive the dog crazy. What I mean by that is I want to give them more food options. I want to keep them fed in the front yard so they can leave the birds in the backyard and the bird feeder in the backyard alone. There you go.

That's what I'm trying to get to. What kind of ideas do you have? I don't know. Different places for food, different styles of feeders. I mean, it'll be the same food, just more receptacles, really. OK.

It's kind of the thing. More receptacles. Where are you planning on putting these receptacles? Well, on the tree, because that's really the only spot. That's the only spot.

Yeah. Unless you put it close to the house. Because we even got rid of our fence. Can't put them on the fence. That's OK. I can't. Do you think they kind of missed the fence? No.

OK. It was somewhere to stand on, but it provided no safety. It was just something to stand on. What I was going to say is that you checked out the bag. We're checking it out. Yeah. You scan it. Yeah. You throw it in the cart.

Hold on. Before I set it down in the cart a little too heavy. The cart was being moved as I was moving it. So things were happening.

And one of the corners. I'm not blaming you at all. I'm saying I was putting it into the cart at the same time the cart was moving toward me and up where the little baby seat is at, there's these little loops. They're made out of the cart. The cart has these loops. And when I went to put it in the cart, it's kind of dragged on one of those and then it fell into the basket of the cart a little harder than I wanted to. And then it sounded like I won the jackpot. Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang. And I went home.

Corn and sunflower seeds and peanuts. Yeah. Spilled all over.

Everywhere. I mean, it was not. It was it was maybe half a cup, if even.

It wasn't a lot, but a little bit of corn falling out of a bag makes a big noise. And we were in the jackpot. Yeah.

We were in the self-checkout. And I know they usually have some cleanup stuff around. Right. Well, Emory was embarrassed by the fact that you spilled.

Yeah. Well, that happened. And then you look around and saw a broom and a dustpan just sitting right there.

That's right. So you grabbed it and she went, no, no, no. I'm not just going to leave the mess I made.

Right. And she ran away. She was so embarrassed that you were going to sweep up your own mess.

Well, I did. So I grabbed a little short broom that they have and I swept it up. And and and the lady who was working the self-checkout, she said, oh, did your bag have a hole in it? And I said, not because of the bags fall. I said, it went in the cart a little heavy.

It's fine. I'm cleaning it up. And she held the dustpan and she said, I'll take that from you. And I went, OK, all right. There you go. And then we left. It was like a 30 second thing. No problem at all.

Yeah. You could not even be the most embarrassing thing in the world. You couldn't even believe how embarrassed she was. First, that you spilled it and two, that you were being a gentleman and cleaning up your mess.

It's no one's responsibility to clean up after me, but me. No, I can't. So I'm not going to do that.

So anyway. And now we have bird food, squirrel food again. Hooray. Hooray.

And the squirrels are going to be all winter. Fattened up. Yeah. For the winter. I like it.

Pluffy old. They do. I agree with you, though, because there's about. I feel like there's close to three or four that usually visit our yard. Right. And we have one feeder and sometimes they fight over it.

So we need more options for sure. Oh, no. I'll be OK. Just sneezing my face off. No big deal. Anyway.

That's that story. I'm going to go sneeze now. OK.

I feel very accomplished because this weekend you had a pair of pants laying on the floor and I was trying to find a tea light that we could put in our pumpkin. Right. And I accidentally I lit it and then I was walking out with it. And I accidentally spilled the wax. Right. All over your pants.

Right. And I could hear the sound it made when it hit your pants like a. And I went.

Crap. And you weren't even paying any attention. And I was like, maybe I can get away with this.

Maybe I can get away with this. And I hurried and I threw your pants. I hurried and looked online to see what you could do.

And it said that you could freeze them and then scrape as much as you can off of them and then iron it with a paper towel. And here's what I saw. Was this Saturday? Yeah. So Sunday. Morning.

You go into the freezer and out comes a pair of pants. I just heard. And I went, what is happening? You're like, I got to work on these pants. And I went, what? And then you showed me the whole deal. And I, you know, I look, it's wax on pants.

These are pants I've had for several years. I'm not super stressed about it. You're stressed about it. Well, I like you in these pants. You look really good in these pants. All right. That's nice. I like when you wear these pants.

OK. And I don't know why I was so stressed about it. Honestly, though, because yeah, you could just easily go to the store and get a new pair of pants. I really just took that whole pair of pants and I shoved him in the freezer and I shut it. And then yesterday I took paper towel and I put the paper towel over the pants.

I put one underneath the pants and one on top of the pants. I ironed over. You didn't iron. You're just supposed to press. And so I pressed.

Yeah. And then slowly you could see like paper towel wax on the paper towel. And I went, huh, lifted paper towel. So this is after you froze them. Yeah. And scraped some off. Yeah. Then you did the paper towel thing.

Yeah. OK. Wax transferred onto the paper towel. Now it did leave a little bit of a residue on your pants.

Like kind of an oil stain. OK. But I spray stain treated that, washed them.

Yeah. Didn't dry them. I forgot to look this morning. I was going to look to see what the final look was.

I'm excited to know. I know because I think I've successfully got that wax out of those pants. Wow.

I felt very accomplished. Well, you should. I mean, worst case scenario, I got to go buy some new pants if it didn't work, right?

You could still go buy some new pants even if it did work. OK. If you wanted. OK. Thank you.

What a nice thing. But I also was like, what did people do in situations like this before the internet? Oh, they had that home remedies book. It was probably in there. That was for just sickness. No, I think it had all kinds of stuff. Oh.

Just old wives tales. How to get wax out of pants. I'll tell you how to do it. Freeze the pants.

Yeah. Or clothes. I mean anything. Just throw the whole pants in there.

What else are you going to do? I didn't even fold them up. That's no, I know. They just wad it up. That's when you pulled them out. It was like just pants. What is happening?

Freezer pants. It worked. I was very impressed. You should be. I was. You should be. Good job. I ran the gamut of emotions when that happened.

Initially, when it first happened, I went, ah, what am I going to do? Right. And then throw it in here. Throw it in here. Throw it in here. And then I'll be, I'll be.

Look at me. Pulling wax out of pants. This really worked.

Yeah. This paper towel iron situation really worked. Well, good for you. Thank you. No, thank you.

Let me know how they look. I know. I got to check it out. I bet I solved it.

I bet I fixed my own problem. I'm excited to know. I can't wait to hear an update. I think you did good. So thanks for fixing my pants.

Thanks for ruining your pants and then fixing that. Yep. Perfect. I was just watching a tick tock of a, of a dude who said, today's episode of things to do once a year, but you don't because you're lazy. Yeah.

And you said, is this the guy that says, here's the lazy guy. You go, I've been watching here for a couple of weeks. I have. How come you haven't been doing any of the things he's been teaching you? I've been busy doing other stuff because I'm lazy. I've only seen one episode.

The episode I saw this morning was him looming the garage door. Okay. Yeah. That's important.

First one I saw was draining the water heater. Okay. Which I've never done. Why do you need to drain the water heater?

Because it builds up sediment. Okay. That checks out. Yep.

And, and it's good for it. How do you drain the water heater? You're supposed to do it every year. Well, in his video, he shows me all the steps that I need to take to drain the water heater.

It's a pretty great thing. I need to do it. And then I saw him do the dryer vent hose, which we've already done.

Yeah. However, you want to know how he does it? How?

He hooks up his, he disconnects the hose from the back of the dryer and then puts his leaf blower in the hose and blows it all out. Smart. Yeah. That is a smart way.

He said, or you can get one of these cool tools and the thing that we have, the little brush auger thing, which is cool. So anyway, yeah, it was, it was educational. And I learned a little bit.

And then I'm trying to remember some of the other ones I've seen because I've seen a whole bunch. And these are things you have to do once a year, right? Yeah. He did the furnace filters and he was like, go buy a two pack.

Yeah. Do this twice a year. You got to change it every six months.

Here's why. And he said, you can change more often if you've got a lot of pet hair and dander. You can change them more frequently, but it's good for you. And so anyway, he's, he said, it's way easier to go get a two pack of filters than it is to get a whole new furnace. Same thing he said with that one.

It's easier to get a two degrees than it is to get a whole new garage door. Just keep things working. Do these things because if you don't, you're lazy. I'm actually surprised because I don't consider you a lazy person.

No, but I, there's a lot of things I just don't know that you're supposed to do. Right. And you like to take care of your things. This is true.

So that they last for a long time. That's right. And so I'm surprised that you haven't done most of this stuff in our house already. Yeah. Well, there's other projects that I need to get done anyway that I go like, eh, I don't want to do it. No, because who wants, it's like cleaning the house. Right.

Who wants to do that stuff when there's other fun stuff to do? Right. When you want to do chores? No. I just want to play.

Yeah. When you have free time, you have options. Do I want to read a book or tie some flies? Right.

Or lube the garage door? Right. You see what I'm saying? Who wants to do that?

No one. Anyway, I appreciate his videos. They are, they're pretty great. So.

Maybe I'll watch them too and then I can learn how to. No, because then you're just going to make a honeydew list is what's going to happen. No, you're supposed to be doing this once a year because the guy on TikTok said so. That's what's going to happen. What I'll do is make the honeydew list and then you won't get around to it and then I'll get frustrated and I'll say, I'm just going to do this. And then you'll go, no, I'll do it. Right. And that's another set of videos where it's just ladies who go grab the drill and just stand there and make the noise to see how long it takes their, their man to run in so that they can go, Oh, I don't know what I'm doing. Or you walk by with a ladder.

Right. And then your husband says, what? And I go, well, good luck. Walk by with a ladder. Good luck. I'll go. What, you can't reach the spice rack?

What's the story here? You need a whole ladder for that? Nah, I'm looping the garage door. Okay, sure. I bet you are. I could do it. Really?

Yeah. Why can't I? I'm not saying you can't. But will you? Yeah, I will.

You will. Our garage door actually doesn't work right now. It does. It just is a pain.

You gotta. Because it needs some lube. No, it's not because of the lube. It's because the opener has a short in it that I need to fix.

And I haven't got, that's what I said. I've got a million other projects before you got to worry about lube in the garage door. Okay, maybe I'll watch another video and see what else needs to be done.

Oh, great. Add it to the list. You don't have a book collection, but you do have a CD collection. I have some books. And vinyl. You have a vinyl collection. You do have some books.

I have a good, like small collection. Like our library is a community of the four of us. Right. Yes. How do you arrange your vinyl and your CDs? Alphabetical? Yeah.

The CDs are alphabetical by band and then chronologically by album release. Okay. How would you feel if somebody came in and said, I don't like the way this is organized. I'm going to do this.

I'm going to color code this. No, don't touch my books and my stuff. Right. If someone came in and rearranged my CDs, I would chop their hands off. My books. That's pretty hardcore. I wouldn't do that, but don't touch my stuff. Yeah. Well, our books are a collection in our library.

They're a collection of all of us. There's dioraphy, wimpy kid books. There's Michael Crichton stuff. There's hiking and fly fishing books.

I mean, there's all kinds of things. But it's not organized. I don't have them alphabetical. What I've organized them by is collections. So I've got the Hunger Games collection.

Right. And then I've got the Maze Runner collection. The Harry Potter collection.

And I love David Siddharis. So he's got his own little collection. Right. So it's that situation. Yeah. But if I didn't have it like that, I would alphabetize it, but I would alphabetize it by author. Yeah.

There was a video I just watched. This is, it was upsetting to me because a woman had her books organized alphabetically and her friend came over and said, let's do this. I think it looks better if it's color coded.

And I would be furious. Look, I've seen the color coded library thing for like a, like a video aesthetic, like a backdrop for your YouTube channel or something. And I get it because it's kind of cute. But, and it's your own library. Do what you want. But don't go over to somebody else's library and go, let's change this. Let's mess this up.

No. I've also seen like people on Instagram who will aesthetically do their books backward. I hate that too. So they, I hate that too. How do you even know what you have?

I know. I feel like those people who do that don't necessarily read. No, they don't. You're never going to be able to find what book you're looking for. No, they're not looking for books.

They're looking for looks. Nice. Yeah.

Nice one. Yeah. Thanks. Came up with that just now.

Good job. I would say the same is true with the rainbow thing with the color, the color spectrum thing. If you do it all color coded in Roy G. Biv, you're doing it for the look.

You're not doing it to access your books. I think so too. While it's easier to see the spines and stuff, you're not going to go, oh yeah, Congo. That's got a black cover with green text. That's going to be in my, in my black book section. But I also just think. Who does that?

No one. Like I'm thinking of just the Hunger Games collection. One of those books is red and one of those books is blue. Yeah. Then you can have them all spread out. You can't separate them. Yeah. You can't separate a series. Right.

There's an, like a, like a gold, yellow colored Harry Potter and a green one and a purple one and a blue one. Yeah. You can't separate a series. No. To those people I say, get world book where they all look the same and then figure out if you're going to do it alphabetically. What are they just going to spell a word with the spines?

Get out of town. World book. You've seen the world book ones where it shows a picture when they're all in the place. It's like a whale, something cool. Yeah. Pieces of whale all over in the place.

No. Put them together where they go. If I had a friend who was like, I'm going to redo this.

I would be like, no, you're not. Yeah. Get out of here. You're not touching my books. I've perfectly aligned them the way that I want.

Well, the cool thing is we've got to pull them all down from the shelves so that I can take the shelves off so that we can paint. That's okay. I know.

That's one of those to do. Because I know, I know that my, uh, now I can't even say that. I can't even think of that author. My, what's it, all I can think is Junie B. Jones, but it's not Junie B. Jones.

It's like before Junie B. Jones. What was her name? Ramona. Ramona Quimby.

Okay. I know that my Ramona Quimbies go together. Don't touch my Ramona Quimbies.

What about all your raw dolls? Yeah. They go together.

You can't separate. Did he write Fudge? No. Who did Fudge? That was, um, oh, just so not. It's okay, but it wasn't raw doll. No, it was not.

That's fine. I was going to say if, if it was, you couldn't separate Charlie and the Fudge, but you see, what could be fun is you could, oh, did you, And all my Judy bloom books are together. There you go. What would be fun? What if you put, if you put them together by story.

So you had, By theme? You had Fudge next to chocolate factory next to, What's next? Super Fudge. Oh, sure. Put the factory between two fudges. Why not?

Why not? Do it by theme is what you're saying. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Forget about alphabetical.

Be like, what book are you looking for? Well, uh, over here we have arachnophobia next to Charlotte's web because of spider. See what I'm saying? I see. Yeah. But then also next to it is babe because of the pigs. Uh huh.

Right. And then you just keep going. And it's like, uh, it's like the Kevin Bacon game, but it's books.

I see. And then, and that's how you build your shelves. It's like, all right, we're going to start with Jurassic Park, but we're going to end with curious George. How do we get there?

Let's find out. Start stacking in the books to make up the connections. I hate that idea. Well, hey, and then what we're going to do is we're going to go over to our friends' houses and we're going to go, your library is getting themed out. Here we go. Here we go. Get ready. This is how we're spending our time. You perfectly crafted your library, but I'm going to mess it all up. Yeah.

By theme. Here we go. Gross.

That is gross. Here's the giant, uh, tabletop coffee table book for Lost, which has, uh, an island in it. So we'll put that next to the Lost World. Right. And then where do we go from there?

I don't know. The island of the Blue Dolphin. There you go. And then.

And then Island of the Misfit Toys. Oh, is that a book? No, but you could put the, that's, that's in the Rudolph, right? Yeah.

And so you put the Rudolph in there because of, because of the theme match. I see. Right. I see it.

Right. And then you could put in something else that has an elf in it or something next to, uh, something with toys in it. And then eventually you're going to work your way up to like, uh, like the Free Willy or the, uh, the Born Ultimatum or something. You'll get there. It'll all connect. It'll make sense. Okay.

Would you rather. Oh, no kidding. It's that time. You gotta look at the sheet sometimes there. I just didn't look at the clock. Like I'd look at the clock. I'd know it was that time.

Here we go. Would you rather this or that? Would you rather be dressed as a mummy wrapped in toilet paper or a ghost made from a bedsheet?

Oh, a ghost from a bedsheet. I tried it last night. It was a good time. I just, uh, I had a sheet.

I threw it over my head. Here's the thing about it. And I can't decide if this is a good thing or a bad thing. It's a twin. Oh, you think you need something bigger?

I think it works. You saw it from the outside. I only saw it from a sawed it. I only saw it from the inside. So I don't, uh, I don't know what it looked like from the outside. You can't even look at a mirror because you'll be invisible in a mirror.

Isn't that the truth? I think if you got any bigger than a queen, it'd be dragging on the ground. It's a twin.

You'd be tripping over it. This one's a twin. That's what I said. You said if I got bigger than a queen.

Oh, I meant if you got any bigger than a twin. Here's the issue. What? And maybe it's not an issue. Maybe I'm overthinking it. You are.

Could you see my body from the side? Yes. That's a problem. It's not.

It is. Just keep your arms down. No, I know, but it doesn't shut all the way. It's too narrow. Try it.

You see. Yeah, but try it on again tonight and we can see. The length isn't the issue. It's the width.

I see what you're saying. We can't buy another. I'm not going to buy another.

What are we going to? Did it come in a two pack? It has the top sheet and the fitted one. Okay. So take. I'm not doing so. Okay. All right. So our options are thus.

What are they make do? Or. Or so pieces. I don't want to be so one. Or buy another sheet, but we don't need another sheet. I'm not going to buy another sheet. Okay. Well then your options are thus.

What are they make do? Or so pieces. I don't want to be so one. Then make do. Fine.

What are you picking? Keep your arms down. A mummy. Why?

Because to be different. I hope it doesn't rain. Yeah. Would you rather this or that? I know you're super excited about the way things are going for your fantasy football team this week. I am not. We talk a lot about fantasy and I'm sorry for those people who aren't interested in it, but this is really the one matchup that I wanted to win. It's you versus our boss, Kevin. Yep. And the reason you wanted to win is because as we're getting ready to do the draft, you upset peaches and peaches wrote on the dry erase board.

Peaches who worked on Cape Air. The Chantel wants Lamar Jackson and Kevin ended up with the first pick and he took Lamar Jackson and you were very upset because Lamar last year was like the saving grace for your team. Well, Lamar is my favorite quarterback. I just like watching him play. Now, I'm glad I didn't get him.

Yeah. I mean, he could have a big second half of the season here, but he did get injured. He's been out a few games. He's not been the Lamar Jackson he was last season.

Yeah. Doesn't matter though because I'm still upset at Kevin for taking my guy. And the only reason he did it was to get at me. Probably. Yeah. Yeah.

Sorry about your loss there, Kevin. He has, let's see, he's got one player left to play. That player needs to make 37 points for him to tie me. So, hmm. You know, it's not going to happen. No, it's not going to happen. And I'll tell you why.

Because his player is on the commanders. Oh boy. Here we go. I'm just saying, maybe you shouldn't have picked up the guy that I wanted. How about you're still upset about it?

I know because I hold grudges. And you've won this week. So, yeah. So now I'm 4-4. You're 4-4?

Yeah. I'm going to go 5-3 because I didn't win this week. I'm sorry about your loss. No, you're not. Kinda, I am. I haven't really cared that much about fantasy this year. Oh, hang on. I just realized that I can taunt him with some touchdowns. A day late. You do that on the day. I don't care.

I'm going to do it anyway. How many? I got four. Oh boy. Taunt opponent. Day go.

Sent. You only did one. You got to do each one. Oh, should I?

Yeah, of course you should. Be petty. If you're going to be petty and hold a grudge, then be petty.

Go big or go home? Call you NASCAR because you're petty. Richard. That's a real NASCAR joke. And now I don't necessarily care if I win or lose.

Because you won this matchup. I just want it to be Kevin. Well, you and I play each other one more time. We are the last week of regular season.

So we are, I think it's 13, week 13. Okay. You and I play each other. I beat you the last time. I know. Okay.

I kinda do want to beat you. Oh, really? Yeah.

No. You want to be competitive with me since when? I'm not, listen, I'm really not a competitive person. But if you come at me, I'm going to come at you.

Okay. I'm really not a competitive person. Except that you are. And then when you're losing, you try to be all like, why don't you even care anyway?

But really, we know. I'm not competitive. I just like, I'm just playing for fun. Guess what? Fantasy is dumb anyway, because you don't really have, you don't have any control over it.

You don't. You pick these players, you have no idea what they're going to do or how it's going to, there's no strategy involved. It's true. You have no control.

There's tons of strategy. You just have no control of the outcome. No. No.

I don't even like it. All right. Well, should we wrap up the show then? Yeah. All right.

That sounds good. Thanks for hanging out with us on your Monday. We'll be back tomorrow as we build up toward Halloween on Friday. Oh my, costume. We have a costume contest.

Yes, we do. You're very excited about it. We'll talk about that tomorrow. Hopefully.

I don't know. I still know what you're going to be. You know what I'm going to be.

You won't know until Friday. Okay. Talk to you tomorrow. Have a good day.
