Full show transcript:
I'm just trying to record. Here I am. I'm watching videos with Happy Gilmore. What are you doing? None of your business.
Alright. Well, let's do some work here. We'll get the show kicked off, and then you can go back to watching your videos. I'm ready. Here we go.
If someone broke into your house Yes. And stole what was on top of your fridge, what would they be getting? That was a question asked on the Internet, and I love some of these answers. Somebody said dust. Yeah.
Lots of dust. Dust, but also my chalkboard markers. No. No. And the little, tin can full of pens.
No. And the ruler that's laying there flat that we can't reach. Oh. And the dry erase marker that we used to write down that we've fed the dog. Oh, yeah.
And, the little bin of vitamins. Yeah. Oh. Not my vitamins. No.
Garage fridge also has the, like, cooler bags for grocery shopping. Oh, no. Not that. No. Still that on top of my fridge.
Somebody said, no. Not my vintage handmade pottery tortilla warmer. No. No. Not the fly swatter that hasn't been used in five years.
No. Not about not my lentils and packets of old peach oatmeal that I both refuse to eat or throw away. No. My jackboard markers. No.
Oh, hey. Look. Somebody else said cooler bags, cat hair, maybe a cat. Oh, no. Expired cereal that I've been meaning to throw away.
Yeah. We used to put cereal on top of the fridge. Somebody said a pretty nice standing mixer in a crock pot. Oh, dang it. That's a good place.
Place to put those, actually. I mean, we have shelf now, but that's a good place to store them. Gets gotten dirty up there. Someone has their microwave up there. That's inconvenient.
Yeah. It is. Unless you have one of those short fridges, like the one at that Airbnb that we stayed at in, in Missoula. Uh-huh. It had that short fridge, so a microwave isn't that tall.
Right. We Old plastic containers, and they also noted I would be grateful, actually Yeah. If you would take those. While you're up there. Yeah.
A bunch of plastic bags inside one big plastic bag. Those go under the sink. Well, not on top of the fridge. Come on. Be civilized.
An empty cookie jar and my trust issues. Okay? Old Halloween candy, dog treats, lots of cookbooks, lunch boxes, a basket of Tupperware lids. Good luck with that. And then somebody has their blender, some pancake mix, and some brown paper bags, and whatever leg rack is.
That sounds gross. This is a rack where I keep my chicken legs. Oh, neat. It's a little thing where you can hang your chicken legs from while you're cooking them. I didn't know that existed.
I didn't either. Because I don't eat yeah. Chicken legs. Ew. Ew.
Drumsticks. Yuck. Alright. Anyway, I thought that'd be a fun little thing to talk about. So That is fun.
That's what I learned about today. Should we start the show then? Let's do it. Alright. Here we go.
Hey. How's it going? Great. Yeah? Yeah.
Yeah. How's it going with you? Oh, it's always an adventure, on this side of the of the room. What does that mean? Well, look.
I don't own the space. Like, this is this is sort of my office, but, like, I I sit up I sit behind the board. I push the buttons. And then after the show is done, I sit here and work on other stuff. Right.
So I'm pretty much in here all day. Yes. On Friday, I wasn't in here. I was running around doing a bunch of different stuff, and there were some other people that needed to use the space for, you know, recording stuff. Mhmm.
And, again, I don't own the space, so it's not like I can go, you touched my stuff. Yeah. But It's a bit of an adventure. Stuff's moved around. Things are in the wrong spot.
Somebody had left, some of the, the buttons pushed differently than I push them. How do you push a button differently? Well, like, when I finish with stuff, I turn it all off. Not everybody does that. Some people leave stuff on and walk away.
Oh. And so then you have to, like, reset everything. It's extra steps. Got it. So when we got ready to start and I hit buttons to to make things go, not everything works as I expect, and some things are, like, two steps ahead or couple behind.
It's just a mess. Oh, no. You know? Yeah. But, again, I don't own it, so I can't be all like But it is.
What? That's no. I get it. It's yours it's your space. Right.
It's other people's space too, but it is it's your space. Yeah. I don't have, like, a separate space. I You're here for the majority of time. My space is.
And when your space is not how you're used to having your space be Yeah. It's frustrating. So it sort of tripped me up just then because stuff wasn't working exactly as I'd hoped, but everything's cool now Great. Because I figured out what was going on. And now now everything's gonna be okay.
I'm so Yeah. Happy. I'm so happy for you. Yeah. Thanks.
You're welcome. How are you this morning? I was just sitting here wondering where in the world the weekend went. Way too quickly. I yeah.
I woke up this morning going, no. No. Yeah. It can't be Monday already. Yeah.
What? No. Right. No. It is.
Yeah. And here we are. Yeah. Here we are. Well, welcome to it.
And, hope you, get to work and find the things that you expect to find exactly where you expect to find them. Them. Because it'll throw you off if you don't. But we're all gonna be okay because it's a Monday. And, When's the next holiday Oh.
That we get off? Labor Day? Oh. I think that's I mean, it's it's like, a month away. Yeah.
Oh, we have a three day weekend coming up this month. I have a couple of three day weekends coming up this month, but I was thinking about that today. That's right. But it's not for a while. It's not today.
Anyway, good morning. Hey there. Hi. Hello. Hello.
Hello. Hello. Oh, wow. I got a big complaint about the amount of bugs that I drove through on the freeway yesterday. There's a bug that flew into my eye this morning.
In the car? No. In the house. Well, that's annoying. I know.
And I went this I made this noise. Checks out. That's a good noise to make when a bug flies in your eye. So I I can't see out of my windshield so so good. Yeah.
It was pretty bad. No. I did it. It's worse this morning. How is it so much worse this morning?
I don't know. I tried spraying again on the wiper thing. No. That's just spread around the guts. It didn't even touch them.
It's a thick layer of bug. It sounded like it was raining, but it was just raining bugs. It was it was a lot of bugs hitting the front of the truck. So I I obviously, I gotta wash the thing. Gross.
That's gotta happen, like, ASAP, because I can't even see. And and that was a little bit troubling this morning because I got in, backed out of the driveway. And then when I put it in drive to go forward, I went, Okay. Here we go. I don't know how you made it home last night because it was pretty rough last night.
I don't know. I could see better last night for some reason. But tonight or this morning, not tonight. This morning, rough. I don't know what was going on.
Well, I guess you got an appointment with the car wash. Oh, absolutely, I do, because there's only one cure for a billion bugs on the windshield. It's really bad, though. And and I didn't appreciate the amount of bug that I drove. It was like, there were there were parts, I I'm trying to remember where it was really bad.
American Falls area between American Falls and Pocatello, probably the worst stretch. Really? You think so? I think that's where I got the most. I disagree with you.
I feel like it was the Firth area. When we got by Firth, it was pretty bad. That's when it felt a little extra rainy. It was real bad for a long time. Lots of bugs.
Wherever they're from. And I don't even know what they are. It's not like I drove through a bajillion bees or something. Like, it it's just little tiny splattered bugs everywhere. Happened to my eye this morning.
A little nap right into my eye. It's a good noise. And then you said, wow. Yeah. Are you over bugs?
Is that what you're saying? I'm kinda tired. There's only one place I really like bugs, and that's the In the woods? Artificial ones that are on the end of, my fly line that match exactly what's landing on the water. That is when I like bugs.
The rest of the time, go away, bugs. Get out of my eye for sure. We have window air conditioning units. Yeah. And you thought you did a better job of I think I did.
Taping the window. No. I think you did too. It doesn't stop them from coming in. They find a way to come in still.
There's still a mad amount, like an obscene amount of gnats in the window. Didn't you just say you found this, like, indoor bug zapper thing? Maybe we need one. Yes. And then we won't have that issue.
We could we could put that right, you know, inside on the outlet, just adjacent to the, AC unit. You got it, pal. One in the bedroom and one in the dining room, and we'll be in, tip top shape. K. I am gonna get that thing.
And you won't have bugs bugging in your eyes. It reminded me. I needed to get that thing. Yeah. I'd like to get one out outdoor one that we could put on the, patio eventually too because I think it'd be nice to be able to hang out there without all the gnats bugging you.
Yeah. But in the evening time. But in the outside, that's their house. Yeah. But off the patio.
Stay out of my patio. Stay out kinda their house. That one makes me feel a little guilty. But inside the house, you're like, no. No.
No. Yeah. Because inside of the house is my house. I see. And then I go into your house.
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna kill you in your house. Alright. That just seems mean. I I agree with what you're saying. We'll work on the inside.
We'll let the outside bugs do their thing. K. Alright. Deal. Alright.
Deal, buddy. Alright. Let's get some good news. This story is is pretty cool. There's a retired couple, called Richard and Jan Gould.
Okay. And they are, from Hobart, Australia, and they are transforming a former dorm into low rent housing for older women facing homelessness Aw. Which I think is a really great cause here. So Richard and Jan recently purchased a 10 bedroom, five bath property that was once used by, the University of Tasmania students. And their plan is to create a welcoming, stable environment where up to 10 women can live affordably with dignity Okay.
Which I think is really awesome. Yeah. Richard and Jan were inspired by the stories of women struggling to keep up as housing in the area continues to become more and more expensive. And as Richard explained, it will take them out of what is a very dark place and bring them into an area that they are calling Blue Sky, which is very cool. Jen said, we want people to be glad to come home.
And if everything goes according to plan, the property will be ready for residents by October. And moving forward, Richard and Jen will work with housing experts to help them deliver their dream and create the biggest impact for everyone involved, which I love that. Again, very cool. That's very cool. Yeah.
Out there doing the doing the real work. Yeah. Yeah. Richard and Jan. Nice things.
Yeah. Good job, humans. What? Good job, human good humans. Good humans.
That's we could change the show name to. We could change it from good news to good humans. I kinda like it. Yeah. I like it too.
Yeah. It's not a bad name. I like good humans. Good humans doing good things. It's good news.
On a good Monday. Alright. There is an annual event called cat video fest that happened Sounds just like the Internet. It happened K. This weekend at movie theaters across the country.
A guy in Seattle gets the best cat videos he can find, puts them into a full length movie. Okay. And the this year's running time, it's different a little bit every year, but this year's running time is seventy three minutes. So it's No way. Cat videos.
It's raised over $1,000,000 for charity since he started doing it. That's incredible. He just scours the Internet Yeah. For a year Yeah. Collecting the best cat videos.
It's been premiered. This video these videos have been shown in over at 250 theaters in The United States and Canada and a 100 theaters in Europe. If you want this to come to a theater in your area, you reach out to the cat video fest people, and they can make it happen. All of the money goes to the local shelters, any kind of cat charity, any kind of animal welfare organization. So if your if your city is showing it, then all of the profits from your city will donate to whatever organization in your area.
Is that pretty awesome? It is very awesome. He's like, well, I like cats. I like cats. I like cat videos.
Here's, more than an hour of all the cat videos I collected this year. Enjoy. Yeah. That's his whole stage speech. We like these cats.
We like cats. Hope you do too. You like cats? Here's some cats. Here's a section of cats getting scared by cucumbers.
Yeah. Here's a section of cats walking on pianos. I was just on their website to learn more about cat video fest. Yeah. And there's a quote from the Wall Street Journal in 2016 that says, watching silly cat videos is good for you.
It is. I mean, it makes the Internet a great place among other things. But yeah. My favorite cat videos are the cat videos where the dogs are afraid to go past the cats. Yeah.
Those are my favorite. Because the cats are rude. Cats are mean to dogs. And the dogs know it. And big golden retrievers don't like to get beat up.
Big, nice, friendly golden retrievers are like, oh, just please just let me go pass, buddy. Yep. I don't wanna get bopped in the nose. Those are my favorite. What's your favorite cat video?
Oh. Cats getting scared by cucumbers. It's pretty solid because they jump straight up in the air. Yeah. It's pretty fun.
I'd have to think about it. Your favorite cat video is just cats, the musical. The mute no. You've heard of cats? It's not in the show.
Favorite. Yeah. Well, good for that guy. What does it take to book him? Oh, you just have to reach out to him.
No. At cat video fest. Okay. And then probably get in touch with the local theater. I know a guy down the hall who's a big cat person.
Oh, yeah? Yeah. Would he be interested in cat video fest? 100%. Okay.
He may wanna book it. Okay. Let's give I'll give him a few information. There you go. And maybe Catfest will come to a theater fast.
Yeah. Excuse me. Not just Catfest. Catfest is something totally different. Right.
This is Cat Video Fest. Okay. My fault. Isn't a fest typically like, that's short for festival. Sure.
So you would have to have multiple of something to be a festival. Okay. One seventy three minute video is not really a fest. I guess there's multiple cat videos. I get it.
I'm glad I worked that out in real time. Me too. I have a scratch on my face where the dog scratched me. And Or something. It's not where yeah.
It's the dog's fault. I think I scratched myself, but it is the dog's fault. It's not very pretty. Let me see. And it's right on my face.
I mean, it's just healing. It's just a little scratch. No. But it's gross. And then I keep forgetting that it's on my face, and then people look at me funny.
And then I go, oh, it's because of my demo scratch. So last night I got ideas. I mean, what? Oh, you could you could have, like, like, a chocolate chip cookie and just leave a little bit of chocolate by your mouth. People think you just, like, ravenously eat, like, chocolate all over your face.
Scratch on my face? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm like, let's let's make it because it's kind of, like, a dark brown, like, a little chocolate.
Like, that's what it looks like. Like, maybe you could just put more chocolate on it. Look like you ate cake. You know? It's up by my eye.
Yeah. Like, really enjoy the cake. That's what I'm saying. Okay. Well, last night, I thought I was gonna do some extra special healing on it.
So I put some medicine on there, put a Band Aid on there. The Band Aid I picked was a little too large. It was huge. But I'd already opened it, and I was like, well, this is what I'm going with. I'm just at home.
It doesn't matter. I I was just gonna sleep with the Band Aid on all night. Did you? No. I ripped it off.
When? And then right before I fell asleep. Are you serious? Tossed it on the side of the bed. Is it still there?
Yeah. Gross. Discarded Band Aid floor? You're disgusting. It's it was clean.
There wasn't, like, blood on it or anything. I know. I just forgot to pick it up and throw it away this morning. Mhmm. You kept calling me Nelly Yeah.
All night because Nelly wears Band Aids on his face. Not like that, though. But it was I mean, it was like a caricature. You had, like, an over the top Band Aid. He wears that little, like it looks like a nose strip, but he put it on his eye.
Now I can't remember. I know he wears a Band Aid, but I don't remember what it looks like. Little white nasal strip that he puts on under his eye. I don't think he still wears it, though. You don't think so?
Oh, I mean, there's some pictures where he has it and some pictures where he doesn't. Yeah. It's just like a little like a gauze strip more than anything. Yeah. It's like a little tiny piece of medical tape.
Yeah. Yeah. That's what it looks like. Much cooler than a Band Aid. What?
I was just trying to see. Apparently, he used it to initially cover up a basketball injury. But after the injury healed, he continued wearing as a tribute to his friend and collaborator, Lavelle City Spud Webb Okay. Who was incarcerated at the time. So he said, I'm a wear this for City Spud.
I don't think he still wears it. Oh. I don't know either. But it got me thinking last night when he kept calling me Nelly for my Band Aid. Yeah.
How many Band Aids did he go through when he was wearing a Band Aid? Question. But now I know that it's not a Band Aid. Yeah. It is it it looks very much like a piece of medical tape.
Yeah. That's what it is. It's a it's a little stretch of either medical or plumber's tape. Do you where's where's my plumber tape? Yeah.
Yeah. No. It's a medical tape. It's just a little piece of that. Job, like his stylist.
Oh, someone carries around a little roll of tape for him. Yeah. Sure. He was, like, headed out the door. Wait.
Wait. Wait. You forgot your plumber tape. Yeah. It's just a little piece of And then they can't they can't remember what side of his face it goes on or how long it is.
Yeah. It's really difficult to determine because photos get flipped all the time. Yeah. So I don't know if he always wore it under his left or That's what I've seen. Changed up occasionally.
I don't know. His people are like, I can't remember what side of this Mhmm. Face this goes on. Does it go higher close to your eye, or does it go lower by your mouth? He probably did it himself.
You think? Yeah. Somebody just handed him the little strip. You don't think he had it? Off and then, here you go.
Well, sure he did. Somebody carried around his roll. Who got the medical tape? Yeah. He's got a little a little leather pouch.
He did. And inside it is the tape roll, And he goes, stick. Let's do this. Now I'm ready to go. That's right.
I think I look cool with the Band Aid across my face. The reason cool you took it off in the middle of the night. The reason I took it off is because it was kinda itchy, and it was too big, as I said. So when I monster. Overlapped on my nose, and I did like that.
And so then I just went, and I just ripped it off. One swoop. And then I just did it one handed because I can't remember why, and I flicked it like this. I just ripped it off, and then I flicked it on the side of the bed. What a moment.
I know. I'm cool. I'm an adult. I make adult decisions. That's right.
How did your super healing go? The I mean, I can still see it. I didn't expect it to be healed overnight, Josh. Well, it sounded like you did. I just needed to be I don't know.
I just wanted some bigger healing, but not completely healed. I mean, it looks it doesn't look that bad. I like It doesn't. No. It makes me look cool, doesn't it?
Uh-huh. Yes. It does. We took a trip up to West Yellowstone to see a little play called The Little Mermaid. A big play called The Little Mermaid.
There you go. Yeah. Yeah. We sort of try to make it an annual, trek to head north and catch a show each year. And this year was Little Mermaid.
Yeah. That is a that is a true statement. What I a couple of years ago, all of the actors I mean, it's typical. Right? At the end of a show, the actors come out.
You get to say, that was so good. Thank you so much. And if you know the person personally, you can say, that was amazing. Yeah. It was so great to see you.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes at a different theaters, they'll line up. The actors will line up as you're leaving.
Yeah. So they'll line up by the exit doors. I can't believe you're gonna admit to this story. Reason. Years ago, for some reason, all of the actors were lined up outside.
Uh-huh. And as we're walking down to go to our car, I shook the first person's hand and said thank you. And then second person, thank you. And I don't know why. I don't know.
You kept working the line. The kids were traumatized. I was I was baffled. I went, what is happening? I honestly didn't think anything of it.
It just felt like the right thing to do until I got to one actor who was like, oh, no. Thanks. Like, he actually said that to me. Oh, no. Thanks.
And I was like, I don't know why I'm doing that. I'm terribly sorry. Anyway It was some sort of natural reaction you had to people standing in a line means I go shake everybody's hand. It was subconscious, and you started doing it. Then you were like, well, I shook that guy's hand.
I can't not shake the next guy's hand. Now I'm beat it. Yeah. Until that guy broke your chain and went, I'm good. And you were like, what am I doing?
And reality snapped in, and you went, We gotta run away. Yeah. So now said, we have to leave. Every time we see a show, which we see a handful of shows a year, I would say different More than that. Different live performances.
But anytime we go to leave a theater, the kids go, you're gonna shake everybody's hand? You'll never live it down let it down. Ever, ever, ever. Okay. But here's what I noticed too.
And I noticed this every time. But for some reason, because the place we went to is a smaller venue, and you could hear the applause more. When when the actors come out to do their curtain calls, their their bows at the end of the show, there are actors who get a bigger applause than others. There and that makes sense. There's a lot of actors who have you know, they have the lead parts performance.
Yeah. Done a big thing. It always makes me sad that not everybody gets the same amount of applause. Wow. Because everybody's been at every rehearsal.
Oh, yeah. Everybody's tried their hardest. Everybody's worked very, very hard. Right. Some people have just had bigger parts than others.
And so when there's people that come out, you go, woo, and then others, woo, and then, woo. Uh-huh. Always makes me I think the other thing that that happens, and and maybe not in this instance because it's a lot of people from all over the world that that stop in West Yellowstone. So you get a varied crowd. But when it's a, like, a local performance, it's who brought the biggest chunk of their family to that show gets a huge woo hoo.
And and they're gonna have multiple performances, and that's gonna change every show. But that's, I mean, that's true of anything. You go to Broadway. There's actors who get bigger applauses than others. Sure.
It's just the way it is, but it doesn't help me feel less sad. I don't know what to tell you about. There's nothing I can change. You could you could walk down the line and individually clap exactly the same for each individual person to their face. That'll fix it.
You go, look. You all deserve the same amount of applause. So I'm gonna work this line, and all of you are gonna get the same applause from me because you all worked hard. You all did. And you're gonna have a whole speech, and everybody's like, can we just get out of here?
You're blocking the door, woman. Yeah. No. Listen. Woman.
All of you need the same amount of applause. So we're gonna do that. Everybody behind me, listen. As we walk out, we're gonna give everybody the same amount of applause. Woman Now I will say there are some actors like, I went to see Hamilton Yeah.
In Salt Lake not too long ago. Right. I did not like the actor who played Thomas Jefferson. Right. Because it wasn't, what's his name?
David. No. But there was it was none of the original No. I don't. People.
But is that why? Or you just didn't like to perform? Did not like his performance. So you you said, I'm not clapping for him. I know.
Is that what you said? I so he did not get a very large applause from me. I know. I know that I'm a hypocrite. I get it.
You didn't earn it. I'm a total hypocrite. I get it. I'm saying it out loud. I'm saying it loud and proud.
Uh-huh. To all of the other actors. You all get the same amount of applause. Great job. Yeah.
Oh, boy. I wake up in the middle of the night last night, and I go, what is that on the side of me? What is that on the side of me? I look over. It's a pillow divider right in the center of you and me.
What are you talking about? I'm talking about a pillow divider. Why did you put it there? I did not put it there. I went to bed before you.
Uh-huh. And then I wake up, and there's a divider between us. Like, you couldn't even be bothered. Why did you put that divider between us? I just told you.
I didn't. Why did you? I I did no such thing. I I don't know what you're talking about. Somebody did.
Oh, it wasn't me. Somebody wanted to I'll tell you what happens. Face on the bed. Here's what happens. And it's not that.
Okay. No. Go ahead. I have two pillows. One is a king-size pillow, and the other one is the the cool pillow.
And this happened to me again last night, twice. So the pillow gets under my body. The which one? The little one. The chill pillow.
Yeah. And and so what happens is I have to move it. And so, sometimes I throw it over the edge, and it ends up on the floor. Sometimes it ends up, down by my feet. Sometimes it floats around, and I find it later on, and I go, why is that pillow on me?
Like, it's a strange thing. And so at some point in my sleep state having to move the pillow that is underneath me for some reason, it ended up there in between us because then it was not underneath me. Okay. I don't know how that happens. I also find myself scooting down to the end of the bed.
And then I go like, I gotta climb up to the top of the bed. Weird. Why do you do that? You do it too. You just don't care.
There's a good, like, almost foot and a half or so from the headboard to your head. I don't I don't think I do the scooting thing. You do. Just you don't notice or care about it. Your body is down lower.
I don't like to go down lower because it's too cold down there. So I That's where you hang. I don't think that I do. You do? It's cold down there.
My feet get too cold. I'm telling you. I'm telling you. I know where that's where you hang. Okay.
I thought I just woke up in the middle of the night. I thought maybe you were mad at me. I was like, woah. No. It's absolutely not.
Divider. Someone is upset. Yeah. No. It's not that.
Okay. So you're saying the pillow got there mysteriously. I'm saying I didn't put it there intentionally. I'm saying a couple of times a night, I have to get that pillow out of my zone. And at some point, it ended up building a wall.
It was, like, a perfectly placed wall too. Like, it was not laying flat. It was, like, upright. Like Between us. No.
Yeah. No. I said, dude, do not cross. And I'm like, wow. Now it wasn't it's a small pillow.
I mean, it's not small. Like, it's not a body pillow. Is it like a regular sized pillow. Still could could creep my toes over to your area Uh-huh. Where it was nice and warm.
Okay. So my cold little toes found its way over to your warm side of the bed. And I went, oh. Oh, is that right? Is that right?
How warm it is over here. Interesting. So all of your pillow walls didn't do much to stop my cold toes. Well You failed. I I don't think I was trying to block you out.
I think I was just trying to get rid of that pillow. So Okay. And instead of throwing it on the floor Which sometimes happens. It's perfectly placed. Not intentionally.
But that did happen. Alright. Well, I'm glad I got some clarification. I really did wake up going, oh, no. What'd I do?
Yeah. Well Did I steal the covers? Did I I actually woke up too this morning and was like, I have a lot of blankets. I didn't intend to take all of these blankets. Get upset about that in the summertime.
Okay. Because there's there's too much heat going on. No. It's so cold with the air conditioning on. It's so cold.
Oh, I almost turned it off, and then I remembered that you didn't like it turned off. So I left it on and just froze all night Oh, come on. Until my cold toes found your warm body. I don't know what happened, but it turned to August. And there is Halloween everywhere.
It's it not just in stores because it is in stores already. Yes. There's fall decor everywhere, and there's even, depending on where you shop, Christmas stuff at. Yes. Because here's what we've determined.
The influencers of the world have to be able to get a jump on this stuff. And so they hurry up and grab all the stuff, and then they make their things, and they post all their stuff. So you start getting fall and Christmas things a season early Yeah. So that you can, like, run out and buy all the stuff that you saw someone influence you to buy. All of the Instagrammers that I follow, all the crafty ones are like, let's make Halloween stuff.
Look at this cute toast. And I go, no. No. Yeah. No.
Yeah. What are we doing? It's barely August. I'm still trying to remember the July 4. Let's go back.
Let's make fireworks. What are you crazy? No. Yeah. I know.
Rewind. Because I know the next thing that's gonna happen is you're gonna go, I need to get the fall bin down. And by fall bin, I mean the three bins of fall decorations. I have one bin of fall decorations. And?
One bin of Halloween decorations. So that's two. And a tiny bin of Thanksgiving decorations. And that is three bins. That's not three bins because the fall and the thanks giving kinda go in the same bin.
Uh-huh. But they don't. Because when things get put away, they get forgotten, and then they get just stuffed in between bins. But, look. This is the goal.
Right? This year Yes. This is the year where we, when we take the things down, we get the new bins that are all the same size and shape. And we're gonna get I mean, we're gonna consolidate stuff. Nice.
There's bins up there that I don't use. This is great. I agree with you. Okay. Let's get it.
So when a bin comes down, it doesn't go back up until it's one bin. No. I understand Christmas is gonna be the exception here. Okay. I'll give Christmas a pass on more than one bin.
Okay. But the rest of them should be one bin. Okay. Fall is one bin. Fall is one bin.
With Thanksgiving. That's the same, missus. And then And the bins are a little bit bigger. Halloween is one thing. Okay.
But Halloween can be decoration bin. Okay. So it's three bins on the stove. Bins don't count as Halloween decorations. But But they take up room in the store.
Agree with you, and we don't need two bins of costumes. Correct. So I can we can absolutely go through and eliminate some of that. That's I don't think I'm ever gonna wear the jester costume again even though it's handmade and very cool. I haven't worn it in decades.
Right. It doesn't need to be done right now. All of that stuff. I don't need to save my princess buttercup costume. I'm not gonna wear that again.
You don't think so? No. And it wasn't even the right one. It was just a quick, like, that'll do. I see.
It's not great. Okay. We can absolutely get rid of some of that stuff. Alright. For sure.
Okay. Okay. Alright. We have a plan. Should we shake on it?
Woah. I shook. Did you shake? I didn't see you shaking. No.
I didn't shake. I don't wanna shake. It looks Why? It looks like it hurt you a little bit. I feel great.
A little shaken, but I feel great. Give it a shake. Yeah. Nice. Yours wasn't as violent.
Violent. I know. Yeah. I know. Mine was a calm shake.
Got brittle bones. No. You do not. No. I don't.
Listen. Have some milk, and that'll help. Okay. With your bones. You need some calcium.
What else do I know about, the decor and the way too fast transition? I know. Can we just slow down? That's weird. I get a little bit tired of the hurry up and buy everything kind of mentality.
Like, I would like to just take it easy. Yeah. Let's just enjoy what season we're currently in. Like, it's still summer. Can we stop making me have to, like, think about fall?
Yeah. Like, I already wanna do it for work, but I'm not ready. I still wanna buy a pool noodle. Can't find them. Why do you wanna buy a pool noodle?
I don't. Oh. I guess just the Because of the firework thing you were gonna build for the front porch but never did? Is that why? Yeah.
Because I didn't have time. Yeah. I was going to make that. But then by the time I went to make a fourth of July craft, they were like, nope. We've moved on to Christmas.
Yeah. Can't. You can't make anything that you want because you just moved too fast. You can't. You can't even do what you wanna do because they're like, here, have fall.
Stop it. Next year, I'm gonna make those firecrackers. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Just wait.
Okay. I will. There is a place in Idaho Falls that I often forget about. But when I remember that it's there, I go, oh, yeah. This is a cool place.
What is it? It is a building called the Trackside Mall. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
You you here's what happened. We had, some time to waste on Saturday morning, and we thought, well, what are we gonna do? And I just said, let's go wander around and see what there is to see. And you're like, okay. Cool.
And, then two hours or more later Two hours later. We we left. Because there is a lot to see and do there. That is correct. Not necessarily do.
There's a lot to see Yeah. And look at. And then I got you kinda got roped in. Our son collects Hot Wheels. Yeah.
Well and, specifically, there is a thing that we enjoy called formula drift. Yeah. And, it is it's a blast. And it's coming up later on this month, and I'm really excited because, it's a it's a a race, if you wanna think about it like that. But it is a sports a power sports fast car, burning tires, smoked out, really cool competition.
And the cars are cool and the drivers are cool. It's a lot of fun. And, I've become a fan because of our son over the past little while. And so as I was looking around at some of the the booths and stuff, there were some cars in there, some Hot Wheels cars that are, from the drivers and the cars from Formula Drift. And I knew that he had some of them, but I didn't know how many he had.
And so I started sending him some pictures of some of the cars that were there, and he was like, where are you? And so I I called him, and I said, here's what we're doing, whatever. And he was like, are you gonna be there a while? You gonna like, if I come over, are you still gonna be there? I'm like Yeah.
Dude, we're only on the Second Floor. And there's three floors, and we haven't even gone to the basement yet. So I yeah. We're gonna be here a while. It's gonna be a minute.
Yeah. But then it was a good time because he came and wandered around with us. My favorite part I mean, there's lots of cool stuff that you can do, but I like old pictures. Yeah. And there was a box of old pictures, which always makes me a little bit sad.
But then you kinda look through the pictures, and usually what's handwritten is a date and a name. And so I like to look at that. But then there were some old postcards that had writing on them too. Like, people had written Some beautiful handwriting too. And then you found an old recipe box Yes.
That had handwritten recipes in it. Hundreds of them. Hundreds. Yeah. And some of them were clipped out from magazines, but most of them were handwritten.
I was like, oh, I don't have room for this, but this is a It it was really neat. Cool find. Yeah. What a cool kinda keepsakey thing. And it ended up you know, it probably got purchased in an estate sale or something like that and ended up, you know, with an antique shop.
But, antiquing is a is a kind of a fun little thing because you never know what you're gonna find. Like, there's just so much, like, old stuff. And, anyway, yeah, we spent some time. And I could couple hours. I could've sat for hours just looking at those old photos just because you're like, what's your story?
You look at these pictures and go, what's your story? Some that were, like, just two guys, like, full suits standing on a rock, old black and white photo, and you're like, what what are we doing? What go stand on that rock, and let's don't move now. We're taking an old these are old timey photos. It's cool.
Wow. I like that. And then some of the big portraits, there was one big framed portrait of, like, an elderly woman. Uh-huh. And I told Beck, I said, dude, if you ever get an apartment, you gotta hang this up on the wall.
And he's like, that's weird. Who is that? And I'm like, I don't know. Make up a story. You could have a ton of fun with it.
You could. Like, you're just a dude in an apartment with a giant picture of granny up on the wall. Like, this is great. I didn't see that picture. Oh, it was huge.
I didn't see that. I mean, it was probably a two foot tall frame. It was a giant picture of this random old lady. Like, this is hilarious. Dang it.
I missed that. Put that in the bathroom or something. They go, what does she do? Who is this? Oh, that's Oh, it's Beatrice, and she hangs out or whatever her name is.
Make up something. Anyway, it was a it was a good time. It was a good time. Yeah. Good way to waste some time.
You know, a good couple hours burned by pretty quick. Did. Got some steps in, so there's that. There is some stuff that I'm like, I don't care about that. Oh, yeah.
There's always that. Even when we go antiquing, which we do sometimes, you go Yeah. No. I'm gonna pass by that. Thanks.
There were a couple of cases of uranium glass That you touch. Yeah. Now you got radiation poisoning. That's not how it works. I don't think.
Let's look. I don't think. Dangers of uranium. Later that day, though, after you test it, you go, my fingers kinda feel like they're swollen. It contains a small amount of uranium, and it's generally considered safe for display and handling due to its low radioactivity.
However, it is not recommended for food or drink consumption as there's a slight risk of ingesting uranium particles if the glass is broken or worn down. They have a low radioactivity. It contains uranium oxide, typically less than two percent by weight, which makes it slightly radioactive. The level of radiation is generally low and is, comparable to that being emitted by household electronics or even some natural background radiation. So it's not dangerous.
Alright. But it's cool because it glows in the dark. Pretty cool, but I'm not touching it. Alright. Well, there's there's a bunch of it.
They got cases of stuff. Just one case, not cases. I saw multiple. There were probably, there was definitely the one big case that had the the cup I picked up that you had a heart attack about. Yeah.
Yeah. But then I think what had happened was you know, when you walk around and it's kinda hot and your hands get kinda swollen? Yeah. You think that's what happened? All that was going on.
I don't think it had anything to do with the uranium. The radiation poisoning. No. You won't convince me otherwise. Okay.
Well, so much for that plan. You're touching things you're not supposed to. It was fine. It didn't say do not touch or wear this fancy glove to touch. It's just on a shelf.
You wanna pick it up? No. I'm not touching it. How are you supposed to buy it? You gotta pick it up.
Tongs. Tongs? Come on. We were at the hospital yesterday, and it gets a little boring there sometimes. Yeah.
And so I have this tendency to look around and go, is there anything I can do? Okay. Listen. Having been both the patient and the visitor at the hospital Yeah. I understand the boredom.
Yeah. I just hang out in my phone if I have to. Well, I was doing that too, but then my phone battery started to get a little bit low. Uh-huh. And then I was like, well, I gotta keep my phone battery at a level where I still have to contact people and do stuff.
And so then what else can I do? And Emery and I are sitting there. We are the visitors. Yes. And we're you look around the room and go, Like, obviously, I'm not gonna destroy anything or touch anything that I'm not supposed to.
For sure. But I see the gloves, and I go Oh, what can I do with that? I did not touch the gloves in the hospital room. But Correct. As we were leaving, I said, oh, I'm gonna use the restroom really quickly.
Right. And I went into the restroom. Yeah. And listen. Both both Emery and I are standing in the hall, and I said because I'd used the restroom earlier.
And I said, a 100, she's coming out with gloves. There are gloves on the wall. She will have gloves. And Emery said, are you serious? I said, watch.
And you came out, and and you're like, oh, that was a great trip to the bathroom. No big deal. Everything's normal. And she looked at you and said, did you did you get gloves? And the look on your face was a kid caught with their hand in the cookie jar.
You went, what? No. No. No. No.
Who? No. Not me. I don't have a I don't have a a plastic glove. No.
And she Busted. You were busted. No. She's like I go, no. No.
Yeah. And she looked at my purse and saw a shade of blue, and she went, mom. Come on. What do you need to do with that glove? Well, I got two gloves.
Well, you have two hands. Because out. I wanted to see if the small size would fit and how big the large size was. So I got one small glove Okay. And one large glove.
Great. Smart. I know. What? You know I have rubber gloves in the toolbox in the garage.
Do you know this? Yeah. That's not the same. It feels a little dangerous. Oh, come on.
No. It doesn't. If if anything, it's ridiculous. I don't understand. I don't understand it either.
What about that glove? I want to do that. Use that glove. I clocked into the bathroom and I went I know. Gloves in here.
Crazy. Oh, glove. Wow. You, you ever have a job where you have to wear those regularly? No.
You should get a job where you have to wear those regularly. You'll hate them. No. I know. It's They get super sweaty and gross.
A novelty for me. I realize that. It's exciting because I go, oh, what can I do with that glove? Put it on your hand. And I did.
I know. And how big was the large one? Pretty big. Pretty big. I'm a small size glove person.
I wonder how small the small size glove is on this old mitt. I still have them. You can Oh, great. Right. We can try them out.
Wear a large glove. Do you? Yeah. It's a big hand. They also had medium sized gloves.
I didn't bother with the medium sized gloves. Right. Because when if you're gonna Goldilocks the rubber gloves, you just go with the big one and the small one, not the one that's just right. The small one was just right. I knew I was probably gonna be in a small, but I wanted to see how big the large one was.
Okay. I didn't I didn't take something just to take it, Josh. Come on. There was science behind it. Oh, good.
Research. Yeah. Awesome. I told you. I am fun.
Do you remember when we were camping and we had all, settled down for the night. Everybody was in there. We were in a tent at the time, and we had all settled in for the night. And then we heard somebody screaming kind of off in the distance. Where was this?
And I said this was I think we were at a scout camp, actually. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know what you're talking about.
Yeah. I was like, did you hear that? And you're like, kind of, but I don't really know. Yeah. And then we heard it again, and then we we were getting re ready to go out and check out what was going on.
And then one of the scouts was like, hey. Do you guys hear that? Like, came to our tent, and we were like, yep. We're Yep. We're getting our stuff on to go check it out.
Turns out the person was not being mauled by a bear. Correct. They were just having night terrors. Correct. Which is a scary thing.
That was terrifying. I've had, that experience with a couple of different scouts over the years I've been involved, and it is a frightening thing. Apparently, this happened to somebody else just recently, although it was a little bit different. There were people camping. They heard some yelling in the woods.
So they called a search and rescue team because they didn't quite know where it was coming from, and they weren't gonna trek off in the distance in the night to find out where it was coming from. Good. Search and rescue came out, and, eventually, they found the man who was camping alone. But he wasn't in distress. He was just singing his heart out to the trees.
Really? Yeah. And people thought, this guy needs help. That guy needs help. That guy is in distress.
So he's got a beautiful singing voice. Turns out. Understanding. He was singing Nickelback. Oh.
Yeah. He needed help. At the top of his lungs, he's like, to the trees, look at this photograph. That's what's happening? Every time I do, it makes me laugh.
The search and rescue of the first responders said, hey. Just remember, our services are always free, but the money that you could have spent could have been spent on some singing lessons. Oh. Ouch. Also, fun fact.
I did not know this. Nickelback, when they first originated, they were a cover band called Village Idiot. Oh, it's cool. Fun Nickelback fact. Yeah.
That's neat. I did not know that I didn't know that, and I also didn't know that I didn't not need to know that. Whatever I'm trying to say. Thank you for the information. No problem, bud.
Yeah. And, I would probably not catch myself screaming Nickelback in the trees. Yeah. Right. Like, what what are you doing?
Somebody's hurt. Maybe I'm a rock star. Somebody needs help. Yeah. It's that guy.
He needs a new playlist. Give that guy some Creed. Would you rather this or that? Would you rather do one big vacation or lots of tiny weekend getaways all summer? Oh, I want lots of tiny getaways all summer.
Yeah? Yep. Rather than one big vacation? I think so. Because when you say one big vacation, how big are you talking?
Let's say a week. Yeah. I want little ones. I've had a week. A week is is fine, but a week is barely enough time to, like, pack and travel and do the thing and then unpack and then get ready to go back to work.
Like, it's just it's all not enough time. So I would rather have, like, all summer, three day weekends. Okay. Okay. Or let's let's call it what it is.
You take a week off. You're taking five days off of work. K. Right? Yes.
So let's have five three day weekends throughout the summer instead. Yes. Okay. It's the same amount of time off Right. But spread out over the course of multiple weeks, that's way better.
Love it. I like it that too. I'm gonna pick that too. Oh, really? Yeah.
Because I got Sound Logic. Yeah. Yes. That's That's right. Also, can we have another weekend?
Yeah. That one and that one. When do we have to wait for the next weekend? That one. Five days?
And no. More than that. No. No. No.
I'm just talking about a regular two day weekend. Oh, yeah. No. That's that's days away. Five days away?
I mean, four and a half. Yeah. It's four and a half days away. Would you rather this or that? Well, you know, the phones that fold in half?
Have you ever seen one of these in person? Like a cell phone? It's a cell phone. Like a flip phone. Not like a flip phone.
So it's Like a hamburger phone? No. It's it's like a book phone. So the phone is normal, like a regular phone, but then it flips open, and it's got, like, a tablet sized screen. And then you can fold it, and it's just normal phone on the outside.
Have you seen this in person? Mm-mm. So it's the z fold. I've seen a hamburger phone in person. Samsung.
Now I know you've seen a hamburger phone. I'm not talking about just a a regular flip phone. I'm talking about a folding phone. Okay. So they have the they have these, and they there are some that fold this way and some that fold this way.
Longways and some that fold short ways. Right. Yeah. K? Sure.
There's a guy on YouTube that is, currently trying to fold and unfold the Galaxy z fold seven, over and over and over and over. The goal is to manually fold the device 200,000 times to see if it survives. Okay. He's done it over a 100,000 times already. That's the test?
Like, that's a test to see if it'll work That is correct. Kind of a thing? Interesting. Have you seen a hamburger phone in real life? Oh, come on.
What is with the hamburger phone? Because was that not the best invention of all time? The hamburger phone? I wasn't a big fan of the hamburger phone. What?
I always wanted the, transparent plastic one. Oh, those are pretty cool too. My speed. Okay. Like, they had a football one too.
Do you remember the football one? Yeah. I just remember being, like, 10 years old, and my cousin who was very, very cool and very much older than me, one, she had a black toilet in her house, which was crazy. Wow. Because you'd never seen one of those.
No. And then she also got a hamburger phone, and we were like, woah. I thought the transparent one was way cooler, but it was just a standard phone shape. Right. Except it was like neon.
It wasn't a hamburger. I don't want the hamburger phone. I'm it's awkward to hold. It's cool looking when it's shut. Yeah.
But then when you gotta open up that bun situation And then you're too into a bun. No. I understand. Get it. It's not that cool.
Oh, it is absolutely cool. Like, I get that you might think it's pretty cool, but I just don't. How much is that gentleman being paid for Opening and closing the phone? Yeah. I don't know.
None? None dollars? I mean, he's just doing it. Yeah. I know.
But he's obviously just paid for some of it. For Sam's. No. I thought it was He's just on YouTube live just folding and unfolding his phone. Time out.
I thought it was actual job that somebody was doing, like, a tester No. To make sure that something works. Doing it. Okay. Cool, bud.
Yeah. I mean, what a boring day. Yeah. Open, close, open, close. I'm watching the video.
He's just opening and closing the phone hundreds of thousands of times. Well, then you're the even bigger fool because you're watching him do this. Settle down. I'm just watching the guy fold and unfold the phone. It looks like a butterfly.
Open chat. Open chat. Open chat. Open chat. That's what he's doing over and over and over, and he's getting YouTube views for it.
So Yeah. You're one of them. And he's gonna Shout down. I'm one of many. Yeah.
You're Yeah. He's gonna keep doing it because you are one of the ones who's giving him views. So he's like, yeah. I'm gonna keep as long as I got people watching. I mean, here's the thing.
Like, you would think that you could invent a machine that would do this, but not this guy. This guy's like, I'm doing this by hand. Hey. When is the last time you saw a hamburger phone? Alright.
That's gonna do it for the show. Have a good day. I'm gonna go take hamburger phone out of here. Check out the show on demand. It's a podcast.
