Full show transcript:
Are you ready to do a show? I am so ready. Rumble. Alright. Before you get into the podcast, if you didn't listen to the show at all live today, you're gonna hear a third voice in the studio.
Let's introduce her. It's our daughter, Emily. Hey. Emery loves it when you're in the middle of a store and you can't find her and you go, Emery. Don't listen.
She loves it. Incorrectly. Yeah. That's, that's the thing, and it happens to me too. And it's, and I go, like, stop yelling my name.
But the other part of it is, like, you also don't yell very loud. Sometimes. Like, it's not loud enough that like, it could be louder, but you have a problem with projection. And so and but I also know if maybe you're a little embarrassed that you're doing it, and so you you kinda do it like, like, you're not full out yelling across the store like you could be. So I I'm gonna challenge you.
Oh, okay. You do it Okay. Let's hear it for real. Alright. Alright.
Challenge accepted. I won't be at the store. Alright. She loves she loves it. Uh-huh.
Well, hey. It's gonna be a fun show. Thanks Thanks for hanging out with us on the show. It was fun. We we record this part of the podcast after we have finished the whole show.
So, you know These guys are weirdos. Yeah. You love us. That's right. I'm gonna tell you by the end of the show, you weren't saying we were weirdos.
That's true. That's true. That's true. You kinda like that. Mind.
Skibbity Riz, Ohio day. Oh, boy. Now you're done. Take it back. Skibbity Riz Ohio.
Out. Now do the gritty. Oh, no. Let's see it. Alright.
That? Yeah. That's not it. It looks like it. Now floss.
Yeah. What is that? Okay. No. And then, what else do the orange justice?
I don't remember what that was. Make you, though? No. Woah. Woah.
What the fuck? I don't remember what that one was. Man, if only you could see what was going on in here, Alright. Well, enjoy the show. What's up?
What's up? Hey. What's up? What's up? What are you just being chill?
I'm just, look. It's Thursday morning. I'm just being as cool as cucumbers. Chilly this morning? Yeah.
There was, looking like some rain clouds hanging around. Is that a thing that's supposed to happen? I don't know. I don't know. Yeah.
I haven't even looked. Well, of course, I am. There's still a red flag warning because it's too dry, so there is that going on. But as far as, like, rain today, let me get through 16 ads, and I'll tell you. What are the ads?
I don't even know. Don't get influenced. I didn't. I closed the ads before they could even tell me anything. No.
Windier and not as hot. Still upper eighties today. Okay. No rain? It doesn't say No rain on the horizon?
Doesn't say anything about moisture. And then, because of the wind and the high temps, that does bring dry weather and a high fire threat. So, again, we're still under red flag warning today. No unauthorized burns. Got it.
That's what that means. That includes fires in your backyard? You know, I I don't know the answer to that. I would have to look at the individual county restrictions in order to be able to say that. We haven't had a fire pit.
No. In our backyard. Well, I did one when I like, early in the season because I was cleaning up some stuff, and so I burned some limbs and things. Yeah. But that's it.
We have not had, like, an actual fire pit, friends over, family over, any of that. That's sad. I know. I know. We need to remedy that, I think.
I think so too. But, also, where is summer going? Oh, away? No. Slowly?
I I'll tell you, it is darker in the morning. I was just thinking that the other day. I think that's why I've been kind of struggling to get out of bed every morning. I think you're right. So I'm like, no.
It's not time. Yeah. The sun's not up yet. What are you talking about? It's time to get out of bed.
Yeah. And then we're working our way to, November, I think, is time change. Yeah. Yeah. It's a it's a long time away.
Yeah. November 2. So we still have a lot of summertime before we get the fallback time. That's a ways to go. Anyway, that's everything I know about everything today.
I guess so, jeez Louise. That'll be the show. Covered a lot of ground. Okay. See you.
Good talk. Okay. Listen to this story. Amsterdam Uh-huh. Has allocated up to what's the money in Amsterdam?
Oh, I don't know. I know. Do they use euros over there? I'm not sure. Look it up quick.
Yeah. They use the euro. Okay. So they've all allocated up to a €100,000 to install steps along city canals to help cats get out of the water. Is this a problem?
I apparently, it is. They're tiny wooden staircases, and they are aimed to save cats and other small animals that fall into the canals and can't get out. I assume the canals run pretty much through the whole, like, main part of the city or something. Nineteen cats have drowned in the canals in the last six months. Okay.
So, yeah, it's a big deal. Problem. So they've been working with the animal welfare there in town, and the city has approved the motion. And now they have tiny little steps to help them out of the water. They have more than 62 miles of canal Really?
In in Amsterdam. Yeah. It's crazy. They're going to install about 300 of these, and they're gonna be put staircases. Yeah.
And they're gonna be built at the highest risk locations. Okay. Well, that would make sense. Yeah. To help.
So near the fish stores. Stop. It's gotta be the highest cat population centers. Right? Wherever the fish are, you'll find the cats.
Or birds. Okay. When's the last time you went to I guess, you buy chicken, but when's the last time you went, like, yeah. Let's go. Like, a fish market has a bunch of fish laying out.
The butcher shop has a bunch of beef and some chicken cuts and stuff for sure, but, like, the fish market's where the cats are at. Let's be real. That's how I'm being so real. Know about cats is they like fish. So What else do you know about cats?
Oh, they really want you to pet them, but they also don't. Yeah. Yeah. Everybody knows that. That's that's another thing I know about cats.
You can pet me on my terms. They really like to look at you while they knock things off of counters. Cats. Yeah. Silly cats.
I think it's cute. Tiny, little tiny staircases. Oh, no. I'm sorry. I thought they were installing 300.
They are installing 500 of them. Wow. Did they just get approval for an extra 200 while we were talking about it? And they updated the article? This article says 300, but then I read somewhere else that said 500.
I don't know. Maybe as many as 500. I don't know. Maybe. But, you know, over the course of, 62 miles of canal, I'm sure they need quite a few.
How fun. And who gets to build those? Yeah. Geppetto. I have some good news.
Let's hear it. The Buffalo Bills football team, hard at work on the practice field prepping for the upcoming season, of course. And behind the scenes, the chi the team's charity organization has also been hard at work and, recently made a generous donation of more than a $167,000 to fund summer meals for local kids in Buffalo. Good job. Yeah.
Bills? On Monday, a bunch of kids got a chance to meet Bills players at a training camp. And while they were there, the children got free backpacks and water bottles. And before they left, a $167,000 check was presented, which will go a long way toward helping No Kid Hungry New York, serve local school districts and organizations in rural areas by providing free summer meals to kids. It's a great I love that.
I know. Isn't that awesome? Yeah. I like when people help kids. Yeah.
Rachel Sabella is, the director of No Kid Hungry New York, and, she said that this event is more than a day of training camp. It's a powerful statement about what's possible when communities come together to support children, which is everything. It's awesome. Also, the Buffalo Bills are on the new season of Hard Knocks. I saw that.
Was it them, or was it was it the Bills? Yeah. It's the Bills. Okay. So we gotta watch that because Hard Knocks is a good show Oh, okay.
Where you you learn a lot about the ins and outs of football players, and I like it. Okay. Yeah. It is their training camp, so you can watch, because they're pre season. So they usually do a hard knocks early, and then they do one later.
Yeah. So, this this early one is the Bills. Interesting. I might like Jared Allen. I think he's a good he's a good dude.
Yep. So And he's a he's a real good quarterback. He is. Pretty good quarterback. Anyway, that's good news.
Have you heard of the Hambone Awards? What's no. You haven't? No. I haven't either.
Well, how how would I have heard about this? What is ham bone? I feel like I should know what this is. It is a list of the weirdest ways that pets injure themselves. Okay.
No. I thought, like, isn't ham ham bone like a like that? I have no idea. It's like a leg slapping musical thing? I don't.
I don't. I think it is. It's similar. There's a guy who plays spoons, and next to him is a guy doing Hambone. Yeah.
I'm pretty sure. Okay. Okay. So this is absolutely correct. I am 100% correct.
It is a style of body percussion. Yep. That's that is absolutely correct. This came from Like that. This is not that.
Okay. Got it. From Nationwide Insurance. They posted their list of the twenty twenty five Hambone nominees. Alright.
The list of pets and the weird ways that they've injured themselves and, claimed pet insurance. Okay. Okay. Yeah. There's eight of them.
I'm not gonna go through all of them. Alright. Give me this is gonna be, like, the top four. Duke in Ohio Uh-huh. Licked some peanut butter off a spatula and then ate the spatula head.
What are you doing, Duke? Duke. Duke. You got a little too excited about peanut butter is what happened. Salem is the only cat in the running this year.
Her owner can't find her AirPods, and she's pretty sure that Salem has eaten them. When she does find my AirPods, does the cat beep? I don't know what that means. Oh, I don't think they beep. Maybe you can just see them in, like, a tracking kind of environment.
I don't use AirPods. Yeah. I think you can I think you can find my device, and it probably shows the cat's pattern of walking around? It's in the cat. Hazel Uh-huh.
Is a great Bernay a great Bernay a great Dane Saint Bernard mix in New Jersey that picked a fight with a groundhog and lost. That's a big dog that lost to a groundhog. Dog. Well Or a feisty groundhog that taught a big dog what's up. Zaya K.

That is a see, now there's a that's a that's a serious dog. I don't know. So these you were saying these pet owners had filed insurance claims? Yes. Okay.
These these are folks that have pet insurance and then had to go to the vet because of Of these getting the AirPods back. Yeah. Alright. Got it. Here's the last two.
I'll just do the last two. Alright. Maddie is a bulldog in Virginia that ate a preserved alligator. The whole thing? I'm not sure about the whole thing, but taxidermist used chemicals and said they were worried.
Alright. I wanna eat this alligator. The whole thing. And then Wash is a Wash. Wash.

Wonder how that happened. You know, there's always a story. Well, neat. Well, neat. The ham mowers.
What do your musical again? Wow. Yep. That's it. Have you heard of Dubai chocolate?
I have. I'm not impressed. I don't like pistachio. I don't think it's just pistachio. I think you can get pistachio flavoring with it, but I don't think it's just The only one I've seen It is.
Is the fancy chocolate with a bunch of rough cut pistachio jammed in the middle. Okay. It is a little bit Yeah. Of pistachio. Yeah.
I just why is it around everywhere all of a sudden? I think somebody went to Dubai, some influencer Yeah. And then went on a rant about it on, like, Instagram. And we're they were like, this is the greatest thing in the whole wide world. And it's only available here, and you have to get it.
And it's 5,000,000 gold bars. It's so expensive. Yeah. Have you seen how expensive of it? And then because of its popularity, people like Lindt and some of the other, chocolate companies Linde duer.
Linde duer. They are now making, you know, their own versions of it because of its popularity. Oh, yeah. You can buy it at every grocery store. It's right there in a little cardboard pop out stand thing.
I'm just, like, tired of seeing it everywhere or just hearing about it everywhere. And then I went, why is this not entered my space. It's entered my space. I mean, it entered my space enough for me to know about it, but it it quickly left. I feel like it's everywhere all of a sudden.
Yeah. So I did look it up. It's a TikToker made it famous. There you go. She was enjoying the chocolate bar, and it went Father.
And it went viral. Oh, yeah. It does feature pistachio based center with Okay. Cool. Which is shredded phyllo dough I don't know what to mean.
Cool. Tahini? Tahini. It's pretty fancy. It is.
I mean, look. Somebody came up with a solid idea, but it was just an idea that somebody had. And they were sitting there, and they were selling it, and it was kind of a big deal. And then this woman showed up and was like, this is the best thing I've ever had in my life. Like, has she ever had a good street taco?
Imagine. Street tacos everywhere. I had I didn't know it at the time. Yeah. I did have a piece of cheesecake that had some Dubai chocolate on it.
Okay. And it was it was the best cheesecake I've ever eaten. When was this? This was a while ago at work. Was this, like, this year?
Yeah. Couple weeks ago. Okay. Like, a month ago. Why are you looking at me like you don't believe me?
No. No. That's fine. I'm just trying to I'm just trying to learn about your cheesecake at work. I I don't not realized at the time that it was Dubai chocolate Uh-huh.
Until much later when I went, oh, I think it was that. Because I remember eating it being like, this is it was at work, my other job. Yeah. And we were all like, this is really good. Yeah.
What is this? We none of us knew what it was. Right. And then now I know what it is. Dubai chocolate.

So, you know, an hour and a half or so. How's how's it feel to see behind the curtain to see how this thing comes together? I don't know. I've seen it before. Well Yeah.
It's not you. True. And and you've been in the studio. I have somewhere, on a hard drive, I have recordings because you've come in and done commercials and stuff when I've worked in radio forever. And you've been like a little kid voice in commercials and stuff.
So we've had you in studio coaching you on different, different things to say. So you've been behind a microphone before. Yeah. Alright. You're like an expert.
It's a stop. Very, very cool. Emery, what's the do you appreciate us talking about you on the radio? Sometimes we'll come home from work, and I'll say, Emery, I told that story today. I don't mind.
Say, you did not. I mean, some things get embarrassing. Uh-huh. It's like I don't really care. It's just dumb.
I told the story about how I asked the waitress if she got mad with me. Dude, you're giving me trauma with the moth and that. Right. Throwing the moth at you, asking the waitress all the secrets. Listen.
You were gonna have it one way or another. No problem. Everybody always blames the mom for their trauma anyway. Dad hasn't thrown a moth at my face. This is true.
Does dad even play an active role in your life? Wow. You've done this before. I I've told you how that actually makes me feel. I know.
I was like Pretty sluggish. Look at our family trauma. Well air it out on the radio. Yeah. No.
That's how that's how you, make a show. You just talk about real life stuff. Right. Like family trauma because of decisions that were made with mods. Stupid.
In that moment, now that I have both of you here, in that moment, you the moth moment. Oh, no. You had the moth in the cup with the paper underneath it. Yeah. What were what was your thought about what was about to happen when you when you turned toward her and went I was just gonna scare her.
I was gonna spook her. Wow. I thought I had the cup held tightly, and I thought I had the the paper Yeah. Held securely. I didn't think that the moth was gonna escape.
Right. So you were just gonna you were spoofing. You were going. Yeah. Okay?
That moth is still in the house. I don't know where it went. Oh. It's probably hanging out of your room. Yeah.
Which was the whole issue in the beginning was that there was a moth in your room, and you weren't gonna go to bed because of a moth. Gonna sleep downstairs. Right. Because of a moth. You'd rather sleep in the basement.
You hear that? You'd rather sleep in the basement. Than Than with the moth. With moth. Yeah.
Yeah. It's just a moth. Okay? So when the moth was hurled toward your face and it decided to take flight like a bird that had been let out of captivity, when that happened, what went through your mind? I started sobbing.
I saw that. Laughing. Were you afraid it was gonna bite your face? Like, what is that like Subtitles sobbing. I call it laughing.
No. You said I'm having tears. You had left from laughing. No. Tears from laughing.
Trauma tears. Trauma tears. Wow. Wow. Something you'll never forget, probably.
No. You'll never let me forget Yeah. More than anything. I wonder like, thirty. I mean, be like, hey.
Remember that time you give me a shot? I know. I know. Because you bring up old stuff all the time. It's my fault.
I wonder where she learned that from. Oh, it's cold. Yeah. I'll turn up the heat. That's fine.
Stupid. That is If this right here is every single conversation we've ever had as a family. Right here. You need more jokes. I have plenty of jokes.
That one was a good one. Pop one. Tell one. Pop one. Yeah.
No. Pop a joke? A pro. Pop a joke. Pop a joke.
Pop a joke. No. The things we do You took all the air out of the room. Sorry. The things we do The things we do as parents to, make sure our children are happy.
Okay. Right? Sure. Our daughter, Emery Yeah. Like is in the studio here.
Manicure. She's here. Uh-huh. Welcome, Emery. She likes to get manicures.
Right? I don't enjoy getting manicures. I mean, I Those are teenager noises. Alright. Go on.
I do enjoy, like, the finished product. Yeah. I just get so stressed out because I'm constantly getting yelled at for not relaxing enough. And so then they're they keep they shake my hand no matter where we go. They shake my hand like, relax, relax.
And I go, I feel like I'm relaxed. I don't know how to relax. If this is not relaxed, I don't know what is. I just need to take a chill pill. I know I do.
Yeah. Just relax. We did. So we went to get our manicures yesterday because Emery really wanted one. Yeah.
And as we were sitting there waiting, I said, okay. Let's do a practice. Let's I'm gonna practice. And I shook shook my body out. Yeah.
Then had me massage your hands. Yeah. It says, I massage my hand and see if I'm relaxed. What did you think? Kinda.
Was it like, I don't know. You still felt kinda stiff, but it wasn't, like, terribly, like I don't know. I was pretty relaxed. Alyssa, I wouldn't The lady that was my manicurist yesterday didn't yell at me even once. So I tried really hard.
I was just like, I was looking outside. I wasn't paying attention. Why do you keep your arms like that? You don't because I was relaxed. This is how I look relaxed.
That's not it. You're not relaxed. You're not. Yes, sir. Look it.
This is Nothing relaxed. Is it supposed to be a relaxing thing? Yeah. For a lot of people, it is. Were you relaxed when you were getting yours?
I don't really care. I just Why are you so wound up about it? Don't know. Just go limp. Yeah.
I tried. Just do. But that's who I feel like I am before, and then they yell at me and go, relax. Relax. And I go, I feel like I was.
After you got done with the manicure last night, you were saying that you really wanted a massage. I really need a massage. Which is a way worse relaxing situation for you. It is. But I still like that.
I see. Well, yeah, you can like it, but you gotta relax your way through it. I don't deep breath. Yeah. Try some breathing exercises.
She's got good ideas. It's it. Try some deep breaths. Have you tried deep breaths? Yes.
No. I was I was deep breathing yesterday. You were just breathing. That wasn't deep breathing. You were not, like, sitting back and going, inhale, Lexus.
Yeah. See. There's no You were just breathing. What happened? Tried deep breathing.
Yeah. Yes. No. K. Listen.
I always tell Emery, I go, you need to speak up for yourself because if you don't speak up for yourself, nobody else will. Right? Right? Like, that's a motto that I try to teach you because I think sometimes Emery is a people pleaser. Okay.
And she says whatever the room feels like. Okay. She goes past what she wants. You out. I am calling you out.
And so yesterday as we were leaving, I go, okay. I'm just gonna speak my truth. Mhmm. I go, I'm speaking up for myself. I don't enjoy getting manicures.
I'm like, I'm happy to take you whenever you wanna go. Okay. But I don't wanna do that again. I don't enjoy it. I don't care about spending money on my nails.
Yeah. I'm just not that person. Well, what do you think now that you have pretty nails that you've made go down? Nice. Yeah.
I do like them. Okay. But I also they kinda get in the way a little bit. Oh, cool. Because we got a little bit of a of a fake nail.
Okay. Mine are longer than yours, and they're not What are they in the way of? Can you use your phone? Well, I Well. Well.
Well. Well, let me tell you. Alright. Let's hear it. I tried to get, like I tried to rub my eye this morning Yeah.
And the nail got in my way. And then I was, like, scratching myself, and I was like, this isn't this isn't the way. It's This is in the way. How long do you plan on having those on? Well, they were kind of Well pricey.
And so I'll keep them on for a couple weeks. I don't know. How long do they last? I don't know. I Googled it, and I said, like, six to eight weeks, but that's Oh, yeah.
Sweet. Two months. It feels too long. I think that's too long. I think my real nail will grow out longer.
So you're gonna have to go get it? Whatever the nail grows out. Yeah. But then you have to go get them filled, don't you? They fill in the gap between You can go get a fill.
One and What? No. Yeah? What? Yeah.
Yeah. As your fingernail grows and it creates a gap between your cuticle and and the fake nail Yeah. You go in and they fill that with, like, an epoxy or whatever, and then they they, you know, file down the tip of a fake one to kinda push it back. Correct. Or you can get them removed and do a whole new one.
Yeah. I'm just probably gonna get them removed and then just keep my real nails. Uh-huh. No fun. I told you.
I'm speaking I told you. I'm speaking up for myself. I said I You didn't when we were there. Oh, here we go. Here we go.
I don't like having Emery. Oh. Never coming back. This is fun. Alright.
Anything else you wanna air out? We we good on this one? No. I think I'm done. Oh, okay.
Super. You want a world record really bad? I just think it would be, it'd be like a crowning life achievement to have. Like, it really would be something. And I think, like, you know, in in older days, later days when I'm old, and I were if I was able to go, yeah.
I have a world record. You know? I think it'd be a cool story. A world record. You think you think a record I set will be broken again?
Come on now. Depends on what you said, I guess. A world record. It's gotta be, like, worst dad jokes or most fish caught. Worst fish caught.
Not no most fish. Yeah. I'm a worst dog. No. It's not gonna be that.
Wow. Oh, your jets, bro. Longest amount of years putting up with that. How about that record? Come on now.
Yikes. Jeez. Take a joke, everybody. Woah. Too far.
Tense in there. It won't be a fishing record. I'll tell you that much. Ouch. Okay.
Listen. There is a dog, a dachshund Yeah. In Dallas who set overall record Of course. By removing being the longest dog? No.
He is removing caps from plastic bottles. Really? He was able to remove 11 in under a minute. Alright. What's the dog's name?
I don't know. Probably Wash. Wash. Water. I don't know.
I don't know his name. How do you not know? I my story doesn't tell me his name. Not do anything like that. Oh, Luna?
So the dog's owner saw that he liked ripping off the water bottle lids with his teeth, and she was like, let's let's give this a go. Let's time you and see how many you can do. You ready? Go ahead. He set the record on his fourth birthday back in June.
Yeah. 11 caps in 60. That's a pretty good feat. Good record. His name's Jerry.
Jerry? Of course, it is. How'd you find that out? I Googled it because it's a world record. His name is Jerry, and he's from Texas, and he got the Guinness world record removing the most plastic bottle caps in one minute.
Jerry with his owner, Satya, s a t h y a, set the record by removing 11 caps in sixty seconds. The record was achieved on Jerry's fourth birthday Jerry. And 20 second. Jerry. His name's Jerry.
I like a human name on a dog. It makes me like, I gotta go feed Jerry. Did someone walk Jerry? I lost Jerry again. Jerry ran away.
Jerry. Right. See? It's fantastic. Well to get Luna to do something like that.
Go for it. Be my guest. Our dog doesn't do much of anything but chase flight. Okay. She attacks the water.
Okay. She does a check, attack the water. What are we gonna do about it? Call the Guinness people and say, here's what my dog does. That's not a regular award.
They'll say every other Jack Russell does that too. I'll say, yes. But this one is mine, and I called you first. So I'm sure people Award. I'm sure.
Show award? Wow. Mhmm. That's right. The Hambone Award.
Nope. It won't be that. It won't be that. I don't know what it'll be. What could you do?
I had a great idea once, and then I found out somebody did my idea. But they didn't do I still don't wanna say. But they did they did my idea as part of another thing, and I don't think that should count. It could be like I think it I think it should be a separate record. Longest harmonica note.
Oh, that could be a thing. That could be a thing. Most annoying harmonica solo for teenagers. Oh my god. It's easy.
It's so easy. All I have to do is play one note, and you go like, bleh. I think we all do that. And whenever dad gets his harmonica out. Yeah.
That's how he plays it the most random times. Yeah. Oh my god. He's playing. That's how I do it.
That's what wakes you guys up. That's what I do. Doesn't wake me up because you don't do it when I need to wake up. I do it all the time. I'll get out the Vuvuzela.
The what? Do you have one of those? I do. You do? Yeah.
Vuvuzela. You don't know about the Vuvuzela? Oh, well. Time for it. Vuvuzela.
Oh, thanks. You thought the harmonica was awesome. Just use it. Wait. It's thing that you, like, pull, like, the bottom part down and there's, like, that space noise?
No. That's the slide whistle. Oh, the booboo sound whistle. The kazoo? It's a long horn.
Yeah. How why do you have one? Why don't I have one if I didn't have one? Where do you keep it with your hot dog shirt? We don't need to get into the hot dog shirt.
I knew it. It's the Foo Foo Zella and the hot dog shirt. I knew it. Things you don't appreciate. Uh-huh.
Okay. Emery just sent me this video. Uh-huh. It is Which is funny because she's sitting right here. She is sitting right here.
Hi. Good morning. Good morning. You're playing a game on your phone? Block blast.
Oh, good. Okay. I'm gonna get you some work to do or something. That's block blast. Okay.
Oh, good. What is it? Block blast. It's block blast. I love block blast.
Okay. Block blast. Anyway, she sent you a video. I sent me a video of double decker bus racing. Okay.
So this is like the big ones in London. Go. I wanna go so fast. That's bad. There's something hold on.
Because we're gonna talk about something else here too. This is double decker like London buses. Okay? Where does this take place? London.
I'd bet not. It is the world of sport double decker bus racing. Okay. Dude, I'm getting us tickets. You're getting us tickets.
I'm kinda they're not it doesn't look like they're going very fast. And the track That's the fun part. Why is that the fun part? Because they could topple over. Yes.
They can. They can. Is do you wanna see this more or less than or the same as your interest in half cars? Half cars are so silly. Half car racing is where they chop off the back half of a car, and it's just the front half of a car with the front it has to be a front wheel drive car, the engine, the hood, the front passenger front driver seat and passenger seat, and nothing behind it.
Right. I've seen this before. Are is it open? Yeah. It's open.
It's open, but they have, like, a little conditioning. Small wheel. Air conditioning. Yeah. Yeah.
What if you, Emery, get a half car, and then I We have the Solara. I'm just gonna No. Get it back. Wanna turn the No. No.
Listen. Listen. No. And then I get a half car, and then we'll hook them together oh, by, like, a chain. You don't know.
That's a different thing. You already had two cars hooked together by chains. I know. What? It was a different one.
Called. Chain car racing. They're not real thoughtful names. What should we call this? Double decker bus racing.
Dude, I gotta go to that. When is it? I don't know. How much is it? I don't know.
What are the details? I don't know. You sent me this. I'll look it up. Oh, here.
I've got some details. It looks ridiculous. It's from a hilarious. Video you sent me is from a race in 1982. Yeah.
Well There are no known instances of double decker bus racing in 2025, nor are there any scheduled events of this type of competition. No. Tragic. It probably It was a thing from the age. Yeah.
Crushed. And it was in The UK, but not anymore. It's ruined. Says, there was rumors of a fixed outcome. Fixed outcome?
Which means they they decided which bus was gonna win. It looks absolutely crazy. Super Bowl. Oh, come on now. Stop.
Here we go. A globe. It looks wild. The double decker bus racing? And you're right.
When they come up to a corner and crank it, like, it looks like they're gonna go over. It's gonna have to walk. It has. Like, they're gonna topple, but Yeah. No.
It doesn't Those things are too tall. Ugh. Doesn't exist currently. Those are too tall. Why a little thicker bus.
I understand. Who was it that was like, we just don't have enough room on the main level. Let's put a bus on top of this bus. I don't know, but I love that. Like, some guy was like, I just gotta have this bus taller.
We can't go longer. Don't go longer. Go vertical. Go up on top. Do you think it's safer to have a tall bus or a longer bus?
Which one is No. More dangerous? So when I was in Arizona, there were some long buses. There'd be, like, three three bus links, and then they have, like, a little accordion between the two. I've seen those.
Yeah. It's just a train. Well but it's a bus, isn't it? Because it's on the roads. Yeah.
Well, sorry, Emery. Aw. No double deck and bus racing for you. Half car racing, though. That Oh, that thing.
You could see. That, they're still doing. Chain car racing. You could see that. We could be a part of the half car racing if you just let me and Meg turn the Solera into a half car.
It's not gonna happen. It's gonna happen. Because then what are you gonna drive? Yeah. Salt melts.
I'll make money to buy a Miata. Yeah. Okay. Do do drive the Celera until you have the money. No.
Yes. No. I'll just walk. No. I have a bike.
I have roller blades. I have a long board. Then why aren't you doing that stuff now? Right. Why why are we your mode of transportation?
Oh, because you love me? Oh, uh-huh. Okay. Alright. Josh, people ask you and I all the time, is our job hard?
Is it hard to work together? Is it hard? And it's it's not difficult to work together, I don't think, at all. I don't know how you feel. Sure.
What? No. It's fine. What's the question? It's not.
This is, the the answer you usually give is absolutely true. This is just us hanging out. Just hanging out. We just happen to have microphones on, but it's stuff we would normally be talking about maybe later in the afternoon and not so early in the morning. Right.
But here we are. The most difficult part what I often tell people, the most difficult part is trying to figure out what to talk about. Right. Because sometimes it gets hard to come up with different topics to talk about. Sure.
And and it's easy, you know, after a weekend or something if we've been doing stuff Yeah. And you can go like, oh, this crazy silly thing happened. But, yeah, now here mid to late week, we're going like, it was a pretty boring night. I had a meeting. Like, there wasn't a lot going on.
We had some dinner. Right. We all went our separate ways to watch our own TV. Just a typical night. Yeah.
So if there's not a lot going on, there's not a lot to talk about. So I Sometimes. I asked. We do have our daughter joining us today. Right.
So I asked chat GPT Oh, okay. So Here we go. We're we're doing AI stuff. Okay. What are some fun topics to talk about with my fifteen year old?
Oh. Oh, tragic. This is not a bad idea. Okay. Terrible.
This is not a good idea. This is great. These are some fun, engaging, and age appropriate talk age appropriate talk topics Okay. To talk about with your teenager. Alright.
Sounds great. This could this could go completely off the rails. Here we go. It's gonna be cool. What's your favorite movie or show lately?
We're not doing this. This is it. This is working. Okay. What's the next question?
Hold on. No. Alright. We don't wanna answer that one next. What movie would you star in if you could?
This is not Why? Why can't you answer that? Because These are good questions. Not. Alright.
Next question. Josh, what movie would you start? Like, movie that already exists or, like, a new movie? Like, do I have to come up with a new movie? No.
Because I wish everyone else would. Oh. Wow. That's cool. Quit doing the remakes and the sequels is what I'm trying to say.
Objections. Like, I understand. And did you see, Kevin Smith at Comic Con this year? Did you watch his thing? I did.
And he showed it to me. Incredible speaker. Where he was like, just make stuff. Yeah. He was like, look.
Everybody likes to complain about sequels and remakes and reboots and all that stuff. But he said the problem is that it's it's a cash cow to make sequels and reboots and remakes. And if we're sitting around as directors trying to come up with stuff and we go, like, there's no fresh ideas, nobody's bringing anything to the table, That's what we're gonna default to. So if you have a story, if you have an idea, don't just complain, like, bring something to the table. Right.
Which I think is really interesting. Make stuff. Anyway. K. What movie would you star in?
Oh, I still don't know. But go on. I think it'd be something I I would like to do something, maybe either either comedy or action, I think. Okay. I don't know for sure which which one I prefer.
Okay. Play missus Doubtfire. No. No. I can feel he could be a good missus Doubtfire.
That's very nice. That's a great character. Sorry. You can't take over Robin Wagner. Right.
No way. Do a better job than him. Way. K. Emery, here's another question.
Oh, goodness. What's the dumbest trend that people are into right now? I'll tell you it's that ASMR click and stuff. No. I don't like it.
It's there's a lot. Yeah. What do adults not get about teens? Everything. Everything?
What do we, as your parents, not understand about you? Woah. The slang words that I use. The slang words and being cool. That's proof right there.
There's your cold, hard evidence. Wow. Ouch. Oh. Somebody should write a song about how parents just don't understand.
That's you. A DJ. Yeah. There should be, like, a DJ and then Jazzy. Yeah.
Yeah. Jazzy Jeff and and the Fresh Prince. They should do a song about how parents just don't understand. Understand. It'd be a huge hit.
Here's a question Mhmm. For you. If you could raid any celebrity's closet, who would it be? Oh, I assume Who's got the best style? Yeah.
So so this would be someone that I would want their clothes? Yeah. Real or fictional? Either. Okay.
I am gonna pick Jennifer Garner. Ugh. I know. Why? I don't know why you don't like her.
I don't understand it. She's so adorable, Josh. That's great. She's so cute. Good for her.
I don't know why. And she's got a cute little style. Does she? Yeah. I don't get it.
What's wrong with her? Yeah. Did you have to look her up? Yeah. I'm uneducated.
You guys didn't educate me. Alright. I'm looking at her style. Let's look at some images to see Jennifer Garner's style. This is what you already wear.
Really? You could wear you could wear more of the dresses. She wears dresses and skirts. She's also a jean mom Yeah. Which is That's why I like it.
Mom. She's a It's literally just you. This is already your style. Yeah. No.
She's got way better style. Jeans and a t shirt with a with a sweater over the top. She just wears, layers. Like, what are you talking about? This is called styling.
This is just yeah. She's just wearing normal clothes. Like, this isn't anything special. Okay. Like, if I were to say, like, let's see.
Who are you gonna pick? I don't know. Looking. Who are you gonna pick, Josh? I'm I'm looking here.
I'll tell you who I'm not gonna pick. I think you are I think I can I I bet you'd pick Justin Joseph Gordon Levitt? I don't I mean, he's he's kind of a jeans and a, like, a leathery jacket kinda style. You wear that sometimes. Yeah.
When I'm riding my motorcycle. What's, what's the guy I don't like Adam Levine's style. What's, I cannot think of his name. The dude the host of America's Got Talent. What's his name?
Simon? Nick Cannon. Oh. It's not that style. I don't want that style.
Okay. Do you know what I'm saying? No. I don't know what his style is. I also I don't like the hats that Pharrell Williams wears.

Still. Yes. You did. I have three fedoras. Yeah.
Three? Yeah. He still he still has them. Yeah. Buddy.
Harry Styles also has a style that is all his own that I don't know that I'm into. I don't think I could pull off the, like, super androgynous kinda look. Not the low cut? I'm not into a, like, a v neck t shirt. Aw.
I'm not into that. I could I could go I could go for a scarf. I'm not a vest guy. Okay. But listen.
The, the reaction that we pulled from saying that you had a fedora Yeah. You gotta start wearing a fedora. No. To Emery. You do that, I will never be seen with you again.
Wow. I'm not a kilt guy. You could be. No. Okay.
I don't think I could I don't think I could do the kilt thing. You can pull it off. I'm also not like a a fur or a faux fur kinda guy. I don't think Oh, fur? Like, fake fur?
Oh. Faux, f a u x. Oh, you wouldn't wear tiger print? No. I'm not a big animal print guy.
No. What about I tell you I don't your print. I don't like Travis Kelsey's style either. Good. Because that's what I a whole bunch of styles I don't like.
But do you know what I do like? What? I like a t shirt and jeans or shorts and t shirt. That's what you're wearing? That's exactly right.
So who wears that? Because that's what I want. It's just my you know what I like is is the job brand. In Idaho. I like works on the radio.
Yeah. I like that look. That's a solid look. Like, who wears that? I mean Fly fishing gear thrown in?
Yeah. Occasionally. Yeah. Some mountain Occasionally on your hat. Some mountain prints, some, you know Yeah.
A fish here and there. So you just wanna keep your style is what you're saying? If I were gonna add anything to it, like, I would like to be able to add in and I do in the fall. I would like to add in more sweaters. Oh, his grandpa's sweaters?
I like my grandpa's sweaters, and I like, I I like Get ready. They're coming out soon. That's right. I like the look of, of, like, an oversized comfy sweater. You have some of those.
I have a couple. I don't have, like, a big oversized one like what I'm talking about. Because of Snuggie that you could borrow. I don't want a Snuggie. No.
It's not that. One too. I don't think You and Rob can match. A Snuggie is a backwards robe. But I don't I like oversized sweaters too, Josh.
Yeah. Do you wanna get matching oversized sweaters? When I say oversized, I but I also want it to be like a like a wool kind of texture. Like, I don't I don't want, like, the, like, the jersey knit. Do you know what I'm saying?
Yeah. Like, I'm not I'm not looking for that. I want, like, texture there. Okay. Grandpa sweaters.
Yeah. I also don't mind the T shirt blazer thing. What? I think that's a pretty good one. I don't mind that either at the last one.
I can do that. What about the, Adam Sandler fit? I'm not big on the basketball shorts. What about the Billy Madison fit? That's the same.
It's the same. No. He wears oh, you're right. It's the same. Listen.

Just keep your style. No. I'm looking. She just go. I'm not I'm not big on tank tops, so I'm not big on the gym fit that you see some guys wear.
I'm not I'm not that guy. I don't I don't often go to the gym, so I don't see a lot of gym fits. Well, I'm looking at celeb tanks, I'll be sure. Fashions. You know who else has an interesting style is that Jared Leto.
He's got an interesting style. Jordan Catalano from Yeah. That guy. My so called life. And Justin Bieber has long shirts, and I'm not into the long shirts.
The guy who played Ant Man. Paul Rudd, his style. Shocking. You don't know his name? I don't know actors.
I know the character, not the actors. Alright. Okay. Jeez, man. The dating game apparently is hard, and I'm super glad that I am not having to live in this world of dating, because we've been married for a long time.
Yeah. But apparently, people are meeting in kind of a pretty unique way. And I think this is gonna be for a certain time type of person. It's called read dating. Okay.
And what they're doing is they're going to, like, a bookstore or a cafe or whatever with their favorite book in hand. Oh. And then inside the book, they've written down their contact info. Oh. And so yeah.
So you make a connection with somebody and you have a conversation or whatever. And if it's somebody you want to, have a you? Yeah. Then you hand them the book you brought, your favorite book or whatever with your contact information in it, and you trade books. It's called read dating.
What if Yeah. I think that there's a connection with a person, and I give them my book, and they give me their book. And then I take their book home and I read it, and I go, this is a terrible book. Okay. Then you have something to talk about.
You go, tell me why you like this book. Okay. Because I read it, and It's two thumbs down. Right? That's a nice way of saying, I didn't enjoy it.
Two thumbs down. Right. This book stinks. Not in a good way of, like, smelling like an old book. This book stinks.
Yeah. Like, okay. Let's say What if their favorite book is Twilight? I was just gonna say, what if it's a Myers book? That's her name.
Right? Stephanie Myers. That's right. Listen. There's a lot of Twilight readers out there who love that book.
I am not one of them. And you read them all I did. Because you felt like you couldn't make an accurate, statement unless you consume the media. And so you put yourself through that Yes. And you went, oh, boy.
Yeah. Oh, bye. How many thumbs down? Three. Three thumbs down.
That's a lot of thumbs. You had to borrow somebody else's. Can I borrow your thumb? Here. Put your hand like this, and then you put yours on the other side and went, these books, three thumbs down.
Okay. Well, now we know that. Interesting. That's an interest interesting concept, actually. But that's what I'm saying.
It's a certain type of person. But there's also like, what I like about that is if you're a person who's a reader, you're maybe a little more intellectual on the side of things, or maybe that's something that's really interesting to you. And maybe you're not just a passive reader, or maybe you're, like, not like, I'm a look at pictures in a magazine type of reader. Okay. Yeah.
You know, here's here's Flytie magazine. I love this issue. It's got my number in it. You know, like, that's not gonna be the connection you might wanna make with somebody. So you're gonna be like, I thought we had something special, but you handed me Fly Tying Magazine.
That's not that's not terrible, though. My point is, if you're, like, somebody who's like, I was really hoping you had, like, a book of poetry. I was really looking for somebody who was not Then I guess fly tying magazine. Then I guess you don't make a connection. Let's let's pick a different magazine.
Hot Rod. It's got a drop truck on the cover, big engine sticking out the hood. I mean, there's still other ways that you can make a connection. For sure. Okay.
Or what if they're like, I really like Hop on Pop? It's my favorite. Right. I really like Danny and the dinosaur. Oh, yeah.
The dinosaur is a great book. I know. But what if you were like, but I really was hoping you were into Shakespeare? Well, then you can't You can't. Connection missed.
That relationship gets two thumbs down. You know? Interesting. Yeah. Read dating.
Read dating. Yep. It's all the rage. Good luck out there, everybody. Dating is rough.
Would you rather this or that? Would you rather ride the tallest roller coaster or jump off the highest diving board? I know my answer. Do you have an answer, Emery? No.
What was the question? Would you rather a call. I was busy. Would you rather ride the tallest roller coaster or jump off the highest diving board? Roller coaster.
Yeah. Me too. I love roller coasters. But I also, I don't like the watery part of the diving board. Bro.
Do you wanna dive into concrete? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No.
Pudding. What do you mean? Pudding. Like, I don't wanna do the diving board because I know when I hit the water, I'm gonna, like, go deep and then the pressure in my nose is gonna be bad, And then it's all just downhill. I don't like it.
Okay. I don't like it. I would freak myself up climbing up the ladder to Out. You would freak yourself out. What'd I say?
You I would freak myself up. I'm sorry, everybody. You would freak yourself out going up the ladder? Yeah. Uh-huh.
So who I I believe in this area, Lava Hot Springs has the highest diving board. Yes. Would you go up to that top? No. No.
It's not really a diving board. It's a diving platform. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. No. I don't wanna do that. I watch other people do that Yeah. And I get freaked out for them.
Okay. Yeah. I'm not doing that either. I'll do the tall roller coaster. Me too.
Even though I know. Makes my hair hurt. Cannibal? Is that the tallest one we have now? In this area?
In this area? Yeah. Probably. Blech. But it's fun.
I enjoy it. Gotta go. Okay. We do gotta go. Would you rather this or that?
So before we go, I think it only appropriate that we, say thank you to Emery for hanging out this morning. Appropriate? Yeah. I think it only appropriate. I don't think I like having a hurry around.
