Full show transcript:
So you are a list making lady, Chantel. Yes. And you like to make to-do lists and you like to like write down lists of books you want to read. Yeah. You make a lot of lists. Yes.
Correct. Have you ever made a ta-da list? What's that? Not a to-do list, a ta-da.
Like things that have been done or things that I'm proud of that I've done? Yeah. Is that what that means?
Yeah. So the idea is instead of stressing about things that you haven't done, you'd write down stuff that you've accomplished, big or small. Cleaned out the junk drawer. Sent an email you've been meaning to do. Went on a walk. Write all these down on your ta-da. Ta-da.
Well, I haven't, but I will say that I like to make a to-do list because I like to cross off the things that I have done. Right. That makes me feel accomplished. Okay? Apparently these ta-da lists will boost motivation and keep you moving forward toward bigger goals.
Yeah. So it'll help you be more accomplished because you'll want to put more things on your ta-da list. Yeah, but then I mean, I guess I could start doing that instead of the to-do, just complete something when the thing is completed.
Write it down on the list. Right. Yeah, that looks good. That looks good.
That looks good. That I am cool of. Yeah.
Maybe I'll give that a shot. I don't know. I mean, it's another list. I thought maybe you might be in, maybe you could work it into a spreadsheet. I know you're a big spreadsheet lady as well. Yeah, I do like a good spreadsheet. Which is just, you just have lists in different columns.
That's all you've done, I think. It's like, oh look, I ate a protein, add it to the spreadsheet. Ta-da. That's it.
Is that a column in your spreadsheet? I mean, yeah. It is, all right.
What else is in there? I don't want to say. Do you track your hours of sleep? Yes, you do? Yes, but it's all for like health and wellness.
I'm not judging, I'm just asking. It kind of feels like that. And then do you just add to it every day? No, like if I, it's how much water have you drank today? How many steps have you taken? How much sleep did you get? Did you get your fiber? Did you get your protein?
Did you take your vitamins? That kind of stuff. You just got to keep a spreadsheet of that. I'm just asking. Yeah. Okay. That's great.
That is your ta-da. You're already doing it. I guess I am already doing it.
Yeah, you're right. I am already doing it. Took my vitamins. Ta-da!
Good deal. What did you name your spreadsheet? It's mostly just so that I can remember honestly. And then if I don't remember, like if I didn't remember yesterday, I'd be like, oh, I forgot. Try better today. You forgot to input your data?
No, I forgot to take my vitamins. And so then when I don't mark it on the thing, I go, ah. Is it check boxes? Yeah.
All right. Does it output to a graph? Like, do you get to analyze the data later? No. No.
Does it have a new one for every day? Yeah. Okay.
It does. How long have you been keeping the spreadsheet? I don't know. Stop talking about it. What's it called? I don't want to say. Is it called... Chantel is awesome? No. The spreadsheet? No. It should be.
It should be called Chantel is awesome. The spreadsheet. Does it have different tabs for different years at the bottom? No.
How long have you been keeping? I don't know. Why are we still talking about this? Because it's your ta-da list. I think it's exciting.
Why are you embarrassed about it? Kind of. Why? Oh, it's awesome.
It's the coolest thing. All right. Well, let's start the Friday show then. Ta-da. Ta-da.
Nice. Hey, Friday. Hi. Friday. Yay. Okay. I can handle that. Can you? I can support a fry yay. Okay. Yes. What is up today?
I love your pet. Get comfy. Be celebrating the caregivers. Those are kind of the big days today. I was just looking at a picture of Punch.
It kind of delayed me this morning. The monkey. Yeah. We talked about Punch yesterday. Punch is taken over the internet. Punch is a monkey in what zoo? He's in Japan. In a zoo though, right?
Yeah, he lives in a zoo in Japan. Okay. And he got abandoned by his mom and kind of shunned by some of the other monkeys. Right.
And they gave him, the zookeepers gave him a stuffed monkey and he's been dragging that thing around. That's right. But he's had some good updates. Yeah. He's made some friends and he's been running around with some other monkeys in the enclosure. You saw, you sent me a video yesterday of an older monkey that was grooming him, checking him for bugs and all that. Yep.
And that was lovely. So it feels like Punch has been adopted. Now, he is still carrying around that stuffed monkey, dragging it around.
And I think that's hysterical. But Punch is doing real well. Good. Yeah.
That makes me happy. Punch the monkey, look him up. He's adorable.
I want to adopt him. Yeah. I don't. It's hard to check the timeline because he's getting hugs, he's getting groomed, he's playing around with other monkeys. But then you see videos because there's so many people going to the zoo.
To check him out. And he's such a viral sensation that people are kind of sharing videos, a lot of them. But that's every interaction. He might be an annoying little monkey sometimes. And they're like, get out of here. And other monkeys might not be as friendly as some of them. Right. They're just like with people in life. So there might be some monkeys that are like, I'm trying to sleep.
Punch, get out. Apparently a whole bunch of people have purchased additional plushies for him. So if something ever happens to the one he has, he has, I'm talking about like storage bins full of additional backup monkeys.
Because people just want to make sure. Punch is taking the internet by storm. Oh yeah. Big time. Yeah. It's adorable. Yep. He has a lot of plushies around in case that one has an issue.
Punch, you're the best. So anyway, we'll keep you updated on him as things transpire. But sounds like he's doing great. I think. I hope so. I think so. Yeah. I think so. We're going to think so. Okay. Because the videos of him being bullied are very sad.
Yeah. I don't like those ones because it shows him being pushed away. And then he runs to his stuffed animal and hugs it for companionship. It's the saddest little thing. It is very sad. I don't like that video. I didn't, I'd seen Punch, but I didn't know about Punch until you told me about Punch.
And now I'm invested in Punch. So thanks. You're welcome. No prob, Bob. All right. Well, hey, happy fry, yay.
And good morning. Here's a story from the Good News file. It's about some crews at three different fire stations in Meridian Township, Michigan, who are getting a mattress upgrade thanks to a massive $15,000 donation from J &S furniture. So fire crews often sleep in these fire stations, right? And these donations will make sure that they are rested and ready for the next alarm. The store has delivered brand new beds, box springs this week to ensure first responders are fully recharged for the next emergency.
The CEO explained the CEO of J &S furniture said, we value sleep a lot and we know that it's hard. The work that the firefighters do is hard. We also know how hard their job is overall. So we want them to get a proper rest when they do get a chance to rest.
So we're hooking them up with a bunch of beds, making sure they've got a nice place to sleep. That's awesome. It's a nice move.
Yeah, really, really awesome. So way to go, firefighters. Thanks for what you do. And thanks to J &S furniture for hooking these guys. Get a good night's rest. It's new beds. Yeah.
And now you can wake up in the middle of whatever alarm goes off, hurry and get your turn down and then go save some peeps. Oh man. Oh man. I know.
What a job, huh? It's good news. I'm being hunted. For what?
I think that you need to give me a raise because somebody else wants me to join their radio program. Oh, is that right? As in Justin next door? Justin from the hot?
Yeah. Twice in a row, two days in a row. He said to me, we'd make really good radio partners. You're already taken. Okay, tell him that. Yeah, you're busy. We were having a conversation just in the hallway a few days ago about his new air fryer.
Yeah. And we were laughing, having a time. And he goes, that's why I think we'd be great together. I think he's just lonely.
I think he is too. But then yesterday, same thing. We were talking about something. He goes, we would make great radio partners. And I go, I'm already booked, man.
Yeah. This is already a Josh and Chantel show. We can't have a Justin and Chantel in the afternoon and Josh and Chantel. It'd be everywhere.
Plus country. Okay. Fair. You did country. I did. Radio per minute.
I did country morning show for two years. That's right. You did. Yeah. That's all I have to say about that.
I did a country morning show for two years. Yeah. Yee-haw.
Yee-haw, Josh. It had plenty of yee-haw, that is for sure. I did like, we were involved in the Afton bull riding thing. And so we did get to each summer while I was doing that. So it was three summers we got to go over and be a part of that event. That was fun.
That was fun. Kind of a little getaway. Go to the town of Afton. Wow, man. Afton, Wyoming.
That's right. And I think I still have the YouTube video of the mini bull. What was his name? Hippo?
Yeah. Hippo, because he looked like a baby hippo. Hippo, the mini bull, and he couldn't barely get his feet off the ground. He looked like a baby hippo and they would have kids do bull riding on the mini bulls. And yeah, he was something to see. That was neat. And that's about the extent of rodeo for me was the bull riding event in Afton that I would go to three times. That was it.
Okay, well, I'm just here to tell you, maybe you need to persuade me with something shiny to stay. Oh, is that right? Yeah.
Such as? I mean, I put in this whole new board. You don't want to learn how to use it. It's very shiny. No, I'm never going to use that. It has lots of buttons. I know that's why I'll never use it. It has your picture on it even.
I try that's shiny. What happens when I leave? What are you going to do with that picture? I just put a giant X on that spot. Ouch. Yeah. I'll still have it like part of the thing, but it's just going to be a big X.
More money, a raise? I'm not in charge of any of that. I know you're not, but I'm just telling you, warning. Justin from the Hawk wants me to be his partner. He needs to back off.
That's what needs to happen. He's not, he doesn't do the morning show, so that's an appeal. Oh, really?
Yeah. I wouldn't have to wake up so early. That would be nice, but country, ew.
I think his show's on like three to seven. Ew, that's worse. Yeah. Okay, not that.
I'll stay. Oh, because of that. Yeah. That's the only reason.
No, that's not the only reason. Can't be working till seven. It just makes me laugh because we haven't really had a lot of conversations.
I'm just in passing. Well, listen, you're fun. That's why he's not used to having, you know, a fun, a fun, yeah, that's true. No, he's not used to having a fun girl around. He's just lonely. I think he's just lonely and he's like, I'm tired of doing my show alone. That's exactly what it is.
He's like, wait, talking to people is way better than talking to myself. Yeah. Right. Especially me, because yeah, I am fun. But you're busy. And I think he should find his own. I like to poke him a little bit. I like to give him a little bit of grief and I think he kind of likes that.
That's right. Of course he does. He doesn't know how to, he goes, wait a minute. That's my job. Why are you, why are you?
Why are you rambling me? Yeah, don't dish it out. Yep. That's his whole thing.
He needs to find his own. Well, I'm not going anywhere. Good answer. Chill down. Chill down to the max.
Look at me. Cool as a cucumber. Chill down. You're chilled down, dude. Yeah.
Chill down, dude. Your face has come down a little bit. Well, I hope so. I'm still learning apparently how this whole thing with this CPAP comes together.
The good news is that like all this week I've gotten 100 scores on my sleep, which is the good news. And what does that mean exactly? That means, so the rating is based off of a few things.
It's based off of how long I wear the mask, whether I have a good mask seal, how many apnea events that I have per hour, whether my mask is on or off in addition to just leaky seal. And then I get a total score of all of that. And you've got 100 all week?
I've got 100 all week. A plus plus, Josh. Yeah. But I have, you know, and the good, the really good news was last night, how many events per hour? Zero. Wow. I know.
That's the whole point, right? The whole point was that I was waking up trying to save my own life and my sleep, and now I'm having zero events per hour with the help of the CPAP. So that's- How many did you have when you went in for the test? 20 something. Per hour? Yeah. 20 per hour? Yeah. That's a lot. There are people that have way more.
No, I get that. But 20 per hour is still a bunch. That is correct. And so that's why I'm on the CPAP, right? So, you know, but here's the thing that I'm- there's a fine balance between maintaining a good seal and my mask is too tight. And I think last night, I was on the wrong side of that.
Yeah. I was on the- my mask is too tight because I woke up and I had a whole mask thing on my face. It was a mess. So I'm still working on trying to balance out this mask thing. Yeah, you had like deep curvatures under your eyes. Yeah, I think it shifted downward in the night. On the back of your neck?
I know. Like on the sides of your head? That thing was tight. It was definitely pressured to my head. You were like, I'm not- I'm getting a good seal tonight. Yeah. So I'm trying to find the balance in that and I need to keep adjusting.
I have an appointment with the doctor next week to go through how things have been going for the month and all that kind of stuff. You have an option to change your mask if you want, right? Yeah, but I don't- I don't necessarily know that I would. Again, I don't want the two-liter bottle thing. I don't want the thing at the top of my head. I just- it's- that seems inconvenient to the way I slide.
I'm not gonna sleep. That's just me. Not that it's any better sticking out the front of my face, but it is what it is. Your fighter pilot style.
Right. Do you feel like a fighter pilot every time you go to bed? Yeah, that's why it was on- I was really- I was gonna take out some bogeys last night, so I had to keep my mask on tight. I was gonna have lots of G-force. I was gonna have to deal with, so. My favorite part is that, like with each kind of new thing, there's a new bedtime routine. Yeah. Whether it's a new bed or we swap sides of the bed or- Right.
Whatever it is. We wore mouth guards for a while. I should still be wearing a mask. She's so cool. I know.
I know both of us a bit. Yeah. Good night. See you in the morning. Love you.
Yeah. But the new routine is, now before you go to sleep, or before you even put on your mask, you go, well, good night. Love you. Good night. Kiss. You're not gonna be able to hear a word I say after this, so see ya. No cuddling.
Yeah, well, there'd be a hose in the way now. I know. I get it. Unless you wanna come hang out over on my side. No, it's okay, because it's not noisy, but I think if I was sleeping right next to it, it would be noisy. It's just loud breathing. That's all it is. Is it?
Yeah. Because I zone right out. I don't hear much of it at all. It's not noisy. It's definitely not snoring level noisy, but it's loud breathing. It's what it sounds like. It just sounds like a person sleeping, but the breathing in and out is just loud.
Not loud, because that sounds like it's disruptive. But you should be getting real good sleep. I should be.
Because of the no snoring. I don't feel like I am. But under interrupted?
Yes, absolutely. I'll tell ya, I'm not getting jostled awake in the middle of the night, and that's nice. A month of no jostles.
That's good news. Gentle nudges. Gentle nudges. Yeah, they weren't so gentle.
Sometimes they weren't, because I needed more force. Not anymore? High five, bud. I know. That's the exciting part. Nice solid amount of sleep.
Do you feel more rested when you wake up? I don't know. I don't. Because I'm still waking up too early. I know. On the days I get to sleep in? Sure.
A friend of yours with a CPAP machine also said that a nap with your mask is one of the best things ever. Have you done that yet? No.
Let's give that a go this weekend. But you're supposed to take a 30 minute nap. I'm afraid that if I lay down, it's not going to be 30 minutes. No, you don't take 30 minute naps. No, you take like three hours. I just go back to bed. Yeah.
I'm just sleeping. So I need to try it in a real controlled short burst. And see how that goes. You've got 30 minutes, just see how it goes, lay down with it.
I mean, how long is it? Because the idea is you don't enter REM, right? That's the idea of a short nap. Because if you enter into a REM cycle, you have to complete that cycle, which can take 90 minutes or more. So if you're taking a short nap, you're not hitting the REM.
And so then you're just refreshing. You're getting a quick recharge. It's like plugging your phone in for a few minutes and then you're like, all right, let's go.
Not plugging it in for a full charge. Do you want to try it right now? We'll take a nap right now. Take a nap?
Yeah. I don't have my machine. Well, I don't need it. So I'll do the research.
I'll do the study. Oh, okay. You're going to take the power nap? Yeah. This shift? Yep. You'll take the, okay.
I'll take one for the team. Oh, good. Thank you for doing that.
Anytime. Mm-hmm. I saw a video yesterday of a, it's a coffee shop and it's using technology to audit the employee productivity. Yeah. Did you see this video? Yeah, I don't like it. I don't like it either. I don't like it as a spy technology thing.
I don't like it as a big brothery feeling thing. So it basically has the employees and it shows like Anna has made 20 cups of coffee. Right. Vika has made 10 cups of coffee. Right.
And then over here, I can't see the name of that person, but they've only made three cups of coffee. That's correct. But they could have just started their shift. I was going to say it also doesn't say like how long ago they started. But then with the customers that are waiting, it shows how long each customer has been there. Correct. Like those people have been there an hour and 15 minutes. How long have they been occupying a table?
Yep, you are correct. And listen, I'm sure they're trying to work on some efficiency and whatever, but it feels weird. It feels gross, doesn't it? Yeah. And super big brothery because.
And this is not a local company. No, no, no. No, this is just something on the internet and this technology. So I learned about this right around 2020. I learned about technology like this that people had installed in their buildings and their office spaces so that they could do facial recognition for employees to like unlock doors, which is interesting. So it would know like who you were and if you were supposed to be there or not as part of a security type system.
It also had the ability to through whatever sensors be able to detect your body temperature. This stuff exists. This is real. And so it's just like this, but above every person it uses facial recognition to find their name. It would show their body temperature and that was important during 2020 because you want to know if people had fevers and might have been sick or contaminated or whatever.
Okay. So that's when I was learning about this technology. And now to see it being used in this way to keep track of productivity and find out who's been serving the most cups of coffee in this instance or how long someone's been occupying a table. It's creepy. It is creepy. It's weird. And the person who's only made three cups of coffee compared to the person that's made 20 cups of coffee, it's not showing like, oh, she's also doing dishes or oh, she's taking the money. Right. Just because she doesn't have to make more cups of coffee.
Yeah, because it's going to take the data and go this person's shift started here and ended here during that time. They made this many cups, whatever. Yeah, I don't, I don't know. I don't like it. As a data tracking thing, interesting maybe, but as a way, you know, and I don't know what they're doing with it, but as a way to incentivize or punish, you know, employees potentially, I don't like it for that.
I don't like it either. But they're also tracking the table time because they've got to have a certain turnover in order to continue to have more customers come in. So if, you know, I mean, you went to New York and like a long time ago in 2003 or whatever, and there were like, you can't stand here to eat and there's, you have 10 minutes to leave the lobby and, you know, that kind of stuff existed 20 some odd years ago. So they've been doing it forever.
Yeah, I get it. It's just creepy business practice. It's gross. It feels a little spying. Yeah, it's definitely. And I get like, it's your business. You're allowed to, I don't want to say do what you want because I don't think you're allowed to do whatever you want. But I also, it just feels, gives me the ick.
Yeah, it's invasive. It doesn't feel, it doesn't feel like, like I like it. No, no, let's use technology for cool stuff.
Yeah, right? Not tracking people. That's weird. It is weird. Stop it. Stop it.
Yeah, it could be creepy. I am greatly looking forward to this weekend because it's a long one for us. It is. Yes, it is. And so Monday morning, just as a heads up, we will not be in the studio because we're taking Monday off. That's right.
PTO baby. That's right. That's right. You know how excited I am about this? I'm so excited. I got all the work done that I need to get done today.
So that's a silly thing. Like I've got everything like done ready to go. Like I was, like I'm done.
Like, like I was, I have got, what do they call that? Like short timers where I go like, I know I got something exciting coming up like a three day weekend. So I'm just go ahead and get everything done real quick. And now I'm like, what do I have to do today? I gotta get through today.
I keep forgetting that we have it off and then I'll look at the calendar or something and be like, Oh yeah. Yes. Right. We don't even really have any plans.
Nope. We just, it's just going to be nice to. Kick it. Right.
You know, Sunday, I will be rolling on quads. Yeah. That's right.
You got a big old birthday. So that's happening. Uh, and that's really the why, right? Yeah.
Cause we just, well, I had thought about like maybe going to take a short trip, but yeah, every has to go to school. Yeah. There's, there's responsibilities.
My car is going into the shop. So there's stuff to do. So we can't just run away completely. But we won't be waking up early Monday morning, which will be nice. Well, we've taken it easy. So maybe we'll go for a nice breakfast. Maybe that sounds nice. Let's do that. That's it.
Yeah. Here you go. Making plans. And we don't need, I won't make any plans.
We'll just go with the flow. That's why I said maybe. Right. Oh, you know what else would be good? Maybe we do this. No, since we aren't working, let's do this. See, I got no plans.
This is why they say like when you take time off, you don't tell anybody. I know. And I mean anybody.
I know. I once, years and years and years ago, I took a day off of work and I said, nobody tell my husband. And they were like, I'm going to tell him. And I was like, don't you dare because there have been times I've had the day off and you've known and you're like, Hey, do you want to go to lunch?
Yeah. I'm like, no, or I'll take the day off too. And I go, no, no. Nobody tell my husband and nobody tell my kids.
I'm taking the day off for me. And that was beautiful. Right. We're taking the day off together. Oh, you're not doing the show. I put in stuff for you to do the show. I don't, I don't know how any of those buttons work. And you know this, you know, the walk you through it over the phone.
Can't be bothered. And I'll say, you see the, the ones with the yellow, that's your volume. Those there.
How can there's so many, so many volumes. Yeah. So this one is the headphones right here. So you can make those.
I've already turned out this one is these speakers. No, can't. So you can make those. This is your sneaky way of teaching me. And then these five across here do whatever these little things say along here.
So like this one is also headphones as is this one. Oh, right. Wow.
Isn't that neat? Anyway, what do you want to do on our day off? I'm not making plans. Okay. We're just going with the flow. I guess you've already got like, got to drink the car in.
That's the one plan I have. Yeah. I don't know.
I don't know what planned it months ago. Hopefully it starts getting warmer and I can go outside and do something. I don't know.
It's supposed to be getting warmer by like next weekend. So, you know, I don't know something, some kind of something. Okay. We'll just go with the flow.
Yeah. It's supposed to be like 50 next weekend. But Monday cold. No, nice.
Oh, 48 and sunny on Monday. Yeah. Yes. Yes. Sunday 45 partly sunny. Fantastic.
Yeah. It's outside. We're going to do something outside. Okay.
I don't know what still a little chilly, but we're a jacket. I will. Three day weekend coming up. Yes. Okay. We talked a couple of weeks ago about how there's a drive through in town that makes you say the color of your car and the type of car that you have.
That's right. And I didn't know what type of car I had. You thought you had a sedan. Hatch four doors. You have a five door.
And then last night you yelled at me and said, that doesn't count. That's a hatchback. Yeah. I said, that's a five door. You said you have a hatchback or a. Compact.
Compact. And I go, okay, well, which one is it? And you said it's one or the other pick one or the other. And I said, what if it gives me both of those options?
Which one do I pick? Hatchback. Or you said or compact.
Yeah, it doesn't matter. A five door car is a vehicle configuration featuring four passenger side doors and a rear hatch tailgate that opens to a cargo area, which counts as a fifth door. Okay.
You have a five door compact or a hatchback. So guess what I picked last night? I saw it there. I picked my white car. Yep. And it said, do you have a sedan? Do you have a hatchback or do you have compact? And I went, oh, I gave me all three options.
What am I supposed to pick? And I went back and forth between the compact or the hatchback and every was with me. And I had just talked to you about it on the phone.
And she, and she saw my finger go back and forth. I go hatchback, Emory or compact. And she goes, I don't hatchback. It's a hatchback.
Hatchback. Yes. Click.
That's correct. Click the hatchback. But it doesn't, it didn't look like the hatchback picture.
What did it look like? Like a, like a Subaru kind of car. Literally Google hatchback and look at the picture that comes up. Like the Wikipedia picture is literally a golf. That's funny. So I don't know what you think you drive, but I don't know what I'm right.
That's what I'm driving. I think I do. You do. But the picture on the drive-thru last night did not look like my car. It looked like a longer, like a sport utility vehicle. So in the compact category, there are several hatchbacks in the compact. See? But there are also smart cars.
Yeah, it looks like. Which are smaller. The compact car looked too smart car. The Kia Soul is a compact car. But that's also a hatchback.
But I think it's, I don't know, it might be because it's square. I picked hatchback and they found me just fine. Yeah, you picked the right one. But I picked sedan last time and they found me just fine too.
Yeah. After looking around going, oh, she doesn't know if she drives a hatchback. She doesn't know. Well, they probably looked at me last night and go, oh, she doesn't know that she's driving compact.
No, you're in a, you're definitely in a hatchback. It's literally the picture on Wikipedia. I'm going to tell them that next time if they have a problem and they go, you picked the wrong car, I'm going to be like, look at Wikipedia. I think it'd be funny if you picked truck. It's a truck to me.
It can pull stuff. This is my, this is my truck. I can haul a bunch of lumber in the back.
Sure. I can if I put my seats down. If it's all chopped up.
You'd be amazed. People sometimes go, your car is not big enough. And I go, watch me. And I fold those seats down and then I shove stuff in there. Yeah.
I put all kinds of stuff in there. No, I know. Watch me. But you're not hauling eight foot lumber. I could.
No. Why couldn't I? Because six feet of it's hanging out the back of the car. Because I could go all the way.
If I put the front seat forward, the passenger seat, I could just Jimmy Riggett diagonally. Okay, sure. I could fit that. Watch me. No.
Go give me an eight foot piece of lumber. We'll do it right now. No. I'll show you.
Watch me. You know, as an adult, it's hard to make new friends. It's hard to maintain friendships too sometimes.
Yeah, I get what you're saying. Because life is so busy and you've always got things going on. But it's hard to make new friends too. And I have a hairdresser who I would call my friend, but we don't do anything outside of her doing my hair. So sometimes I go, well, this is a transactional relationship, which is fine.
And I have a lovely time when I see her and she's funny and charming. And yesterday, I feel like that transitional relationship might take on a new form. What does that mean? It means transactional.
What did I say? Transitional. You meant it's transitioning into a new thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. To what?
To an outside the hair salon friendship. Oh, I know. Danger.
No, excitement. Okay. Big day.
Okay. She, Emery was getting her hair done. So I was just there because I'm the money when Emery gets her hair done. And the ride.
And the ride. And she and I were talking, the hairdresser and I were talking, her name is Kim. And she had had a really bad day. So she was crying. And then I started talking about my really bad day. So I was crying. Oh boy, you call it heresy.
It is. And then I on a whim, and this was very scary for me, I said, hey, you want to go do something sometime when she was like, that would be amazing. And I was like, that's so scary. And then later I go, why is that so scary to even ask that? Because you're afraid of rejection.
Like she was like, no, I would never hang out with you. Right. Yeah.
And also real thing that people say. Because I go, she always has so many friends inside my brain. I go, she has so many friends, she's never going to want to hang out with me. And so I tell her that and she goes, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. She goes, I don't have any friends, which is a lie.
She has friends, but you're like me because they have friends, but we don't do anything because we're always so busy that we just, we're at home texting each other going, I just can't be bothered to go out to eat because I'm so tired from my responsibilities. Yeah. I know. So here's what's going to happen. All good intentions.
Yeah. The next time I see her, I'll be like, Hey, we should really go out sometime. Remember, remember, she can be like, yeah, let's go do that. And I'm going to be like, cool. And neither one of us are going to make any plans because we're too old and tired to make plans. Can't be bothered.
Being an adult and having friends is one of the hardest things. Yeah, no, I get it. They don't tell you that. It's just because you've got other responsibilities. If your responsibility was going to school and being social with the people around you, friends is easy.
Yeah. And then you don't have a job after school. You go home and it's recreate. And then you get to do extracurriculars also with friends. There's a focus around this social interaction that you're also in this learning environment. And then that ends and you have to be like, but now I have bills.
Let's redefine adulthood. Okay. Sure. You work. Who work?
Adults. Oh, I thought you meant like me. No, no, no. And then you get to revert to being the baby.
No, no, no, no. I thought it was confused. We work half the time. Yeah. So what, if you're working 40 hours a week, you're working 20 hours a week, cut that down. Great.
So you still get the same amount of money. Oh good. This will go over well. It's gonna be fine. Execs are gonna love it.
Because the execs, listen, you gotta listen, this is gonna improve morale too. And then you pay for us to go have outings with our friends. Right.
And then we're well rounded, happy employees and we'll have more productivity at work. No. Execs, listen up. No, we're going to install a camera system that's going to count your productivity and we're going to punish you if you don't perform well enough. That's what we're gonna do. Just let me go out with my friends.
No, because work is a jail. That's crazy. Set something up. I know. I want to. Like a dinner thing? But then I was also like, why is it so scary to even ask somebody, hey, do you want to go?
Because you fear rejection. Yeah. Yeah. No, I have too many friends. There's no room in my top eight for you. No one has ever said that ever. No one has ever said I have too many friends.
Someone said it. But that's the rejection you fear. I know. No. I have no space or time for you. You are a client, not a friend. Yeah, I told her that. I just am paying you to be my friend.
That's how you have friends as an adult. You have to pay that. That's exactly.
Yeah. Hey, you want to come and provide that service that you do professionally for me? And then we can sort of hang out while you do that. Okay, cool. Well, good luck with your new friend adventure. Thanks. When I have time, I'll make a plan.
Sounds good. You have a birthday coming up. Yes. A birthday on Sunday. Yeah, rolling on quads. 44. Yeah, two fours.
Those are quads. Okay, I got a birthday rapid fire for you. Oh, this is like a question thing? Yeah. Like a trivia thing? Not a trivia thing, just like a rapid fire questions. I'm going to ask you questions. You have to rapid fire answer.
Okay. You think too much sometimes. I think all the time. I'm already thinking. I know, but you're going to hesitate with every question. I know. You have to think about it analytically.
I'm already hymn-hon. You're a very logical person. You've got an analytical brain. So I'm going to ask you and you're going to go. This has been a lovely game of- Well, it's been, here's what happens.
I can't answer that because I've looked at it from all viewpoints. What you got? Okay, ready? I'm ready to overthink.
Here we go. Rapid fire. Birthday rapid fire. On a scale of one to 10, how excited are you to be this old? Not very. One to 10. I don't know, six. It's fine. That's pretty excited.
Is it? You said not very and then you said higher than the average. I'm not at 10.
I'm not at 10 right now. What's the most middle-aged thing you've done this year? Z-Pap. It's only been two months. Here we go.
Okay. If your back could talk, what would it say? What's one thing that you can no longer do that your 25-year-old self could do? Boy, I don't know. I don't feel like that. I mean, I wrote a skateboard around the neighborhood the other day. Yeah, you did.
I don't know. I'm still pretty active. You did good on the skateboard.
Good job. You almost biffed it once. Well, I hit a couple of rocks.
The rocks to skateboards are not friends. What's your opinion about cake? Yeah. Oh, okay. It's pretty mid. What age did you peak? I'm still not there. Okay.
I've got work to do. What age did your knees start betraying you? It's happening now. Oh, no. I'm working on it.
I've got to do some, I sit too much is the problem. Yeah. Yeah. I need to do some stretches. This question makes me laugh. Are you aging like fine wine or like gas station sushi? Somewhere in between.
Okay. Not quite like a cup of chocolate milk that was left on the counter. Oh, no.
Gross. You know, but sometimes I go, I need to change course here. Change course? How?
What do you need to change course? I need to eat more fiber. I need to exercise. I need to drink more water. I need, you know, fiber and protein. Like those two things, you just can never get enough of.
I need vegetables and lean proteins. Yeah. Yeah. If I gave you a thousand dollars right now, what would you buy? Oh, so many things. I have to figure out which hobby to point that toward. I feel like I want to book like a float trip with it. A float trip? Like a fishing float trip? Like a guide toward, not a float trip.
Yes. You say float trip and I think like white water rafting. No, like a guided fishing trip. So that's a trip for one. Well, a few, a few hundred more dollars you can come with.
I want a good one. Okay. I don't know. I mean, you were giving it to me. You didn't say if we had a thousand dollars, what would you do with it? That's a different question. But that's why I said I got to figure out which hobby to direct it to because that's some truck parts too. So I've got to figure out where to point that. Okay.
Let's see. How many naps is too many naps? Six. Three. Three's too many.
Here's a good, here's a dad one. Okay. On a scale of one to 10, how strong are your new balance vibes? I have a couple of new balances.
Do I still? I have one pair of new balance. No, I have two. I have the blue ones and then I have like the trail running new balance.
Okay. Not, I'm not strong on like the white new balance. I'm not, I'm not wearing jorts. Tell you that. I'll wear some cutoffs to embarrass some people, but I'm not wearing hemmed jorts.
When did you transition from cool guy to old dude? Haven't yet. Disagree. Whatever. Good job, Josh. I'll tell you, I got a lot more gray hair than I ever thought I would.
In my beard and on the sides of my head where my hair does grow. I like it. It's pretty silvery. I know, I like it. This whole thing's going to be white soon.
I know. Probably within, how many years you think? I think maybe three. You think three years I'm going to have a full white beard? I think so. How many years? That's quick. How many years do you think?
I was going to give it at least five. Well, it's, it's going rapid actually. Wow. No, I just told you I like it. It's going rapid. It's changing quick.
You're losing pigmentation in your hair at an expedient rate. Okay. Thanks. I like it.
I just told you because I knew you before you were great and I've, I've been with you as it's changed. I like it. It's handsome. It's handsome. Thanks. I just read this thing and it made me feel happy and so I'm going to share it.
Someone said that when they feel nervous about doing something and their heart starts beating really fast, they like to call that their inner applause because that means their body is cheering them on. Nice. And I need to remember that. Yeah, you do.
Because I tend to get anxiety quite regularly. And you feel like that's your body going, don't do it. Yeah.
When really your body's like, yeah, go, go, go. You got this. You got this. You got this.
That's what my body's actually saying. I like that mentality. You got this. You got this. You got this. Okay.
You settled out. You know how you were cheering on the kids when they were riding their bike for the first time. It's that.
It's that voice. It was different. We have video of each of the kids and their success that finally accomplished the bike. And when Becht did his, he went, I'm doing it.
I'm doing it. That's what your body does. And I in the background go, oh, back, back, back, back, back, back. That's right.
And then when Emery got it, I went, emmy, emmy, emmy, emmy, emmy. Right. That's what your body's doing inside. What's it saying? It's going, you're doing it. You're doing it.
You're doing it. That makes me feel more anxious, honestly. That's what your body's anxiety is doing. Let's just chill. You can calm it down. That's fine. But you need to understand that's what your body's doing is like.
Yes. But inside. It's like you're riding a bike for the first time and your body's very excited about it. But it's like, you got it.
You're doing it. It just needs to settle down a minute. Just chill. Just be chill.
Nah. It's exciting. Inner applause. I like that. That's nice. That's what your nervousness feels like. Yeah. Like it's cheering you on from the inside.
And mine, I like to think of it that way because sometimes when I have those feelings of anxiety, I sometimes in the back of my head go, that's my body saying, you can't do this. You can't do this. You're going to mess it up.
You're going to fall off that stage if I'm giving a speech or something. Yep. That's right. Why are you laughing about that? That was an over explanation.
We understood when you said if I'm on stage, giving a speech or something, like you're on stage doing something else, I would be on stage performing. Maybe. Sure. Maybe.
Never know. Today. Are you on a stage? No.
Okay. I try not to be on a stage as often as possible. Somebody needs to stand up on the stage.
Who wants to do it? Oh, it's Link in the corner. Right. Because, but now feel those bubbles. It should be me.
No. And then put your hand up and go, I'd like to do this one because my body's cheering me on from the inside. My body is saying, yeah, you got this. That's it. Yes.
No. What's the worst that could happen? I'll fall off the stage. You're not going to fall off the stage. But you won't.
It'll be fine. Everything's well labeled. You know the stage that you'll, you'll have a microphone in your hand.
You're good to go. I'm not even, I don't know why you're prepping me up to give a speech. I'm not even, you brought up the speech.
You're like, you got this. The mic is ready to go. I'm like, I'm, there's no time in the future where I'm, I'm going to be giving a speech. Anyone who'd like to have Chantel give a speech, go ahead and reach out to the show. She's prepared. Her body's cheering her on.
She's ready. Do you want to do an Olympic update? Yeah, I was just pulling up the medal count. Here's where we're at right now with 27 medals. The United States is in second place in the medal count. Norway still holds the lead with 34 medals. I have 36 gold.
36 medals, 17 gold. Oh, maybe something happened in between. Yeah. The big news is that the U S women's hockey team took on Canada. Unreal for gold. And that game went into overtime yesterday.
I did get to watch the end of that game. Unbelievable the skills of these women hockey players. Unreal.
I was watching a video from one of the hockey players and it was like a voicemail message from her three brothers and they had all taught her how to skate when she was just little and they were like, you got this. We love you. We support you. You're savage. Like you're the, you're the beast.
You got this. And it was just so nice. These three brothers that were like encouraging their sister on the hockey team. Yeah.
Alyssa Lou. Yeah. Gold medal. Yeah. And what I read about her was that she retired at 13.
Okay. And then she came back and won the gold. Well, it's pretty awesome. And I think this is the first gold in this event since 2002. Yeah, that's correct. When Sarah Hughes won the gold in Salt Lake City. So that's really cool.
The first US Olympic title in women's figure skating in 24 years. That's pretty cool. Unreal.
Good for her. Really excited to see that. What's going on in the schedule today? Do we know? We don't know. Okay.
Well, let me check a few things. Bob's Let this weekend. Yeah, that is coming up. It looks like the stuff that's going on today, they've got some more ice hockey is ice hockey underway right now.
The two woman Bob's Let is happening today. And then you've got some more speed skating. Tomorrow is when we hit the four man heat one of Bob's Let and then there's some freestyle skiing, which have you ever watched the freestyle stuff? Yeah.
So that's like where they jump and they do the crazy leg twists and things. That's pretty interesting. I could do that probably. You think? Yeah.
It looked like rag doll mechanics because I think you'd be flailing, but you're right. You could do that. They might give me some points for it. Sure, sure, sure. By Athalon, there's some more of that. I was watching the end of the men's by Athalon. There were three men who were coming across the finish line. They all stopped. They were the last three on the on the course and they stopped and did a heads up sprint to the finish to see who was going to get last, which I think is pretty fun. So they did.
They did do that, which was kind of kind of fun. Nice Olympic moments going on. More curling is happening.
The men's gold medal game and curling is between Great Britain and Canada. So that'll be coming up later on tomorrow. And then Sunday, more bobsled. The men's gold medal hockey game is happening Sunday night and more curling. So the gold medal game of women's curling and more curling between Switzerland and Sweden. So which curling is there a lot? It's one of the big ones. It's one of the big ones. They should call it the curling games.
Yeah. The games do wrap up on Sunday. So I was trying to see closing ceremonies and stuff will be held on Sunday. It says around noon. I don't know if that's local time or when that is, but Sunday is the closing.
Your birthday. Did they plan that? I think they were like, yeah, let's wrap it up. Let's wrap it up on Josh's birthday.
That's why. Yeah, sure thing. So anyway, congrats to all of the athletes that have competed and won and even to just be a part of it, I'm sure is quite the ordeal. So that's what I know. There's still some more Olympic action to go this weekend. And it all wraps up on Sunday. There's more curling and more curling. And if you want, there's more curling. 27 medals right now, nine gold for the United States. So not bad.
Good job athletes. Would you rather this or that the Friday edition? Would you rather have a surprise party or have everyone forget your birthday? A surprise party with 100 people that know you or everyone forgets? I mean, I guess I would like a party.
That'd be fun. Yeah. I mean, I don't want to be forgotten entirely.
That's sad. I mean, if somebody forgets, I'm not gonna be like, oh, well, forget about it. You know, our relationship, forget about it. Don't ever contact me again. Like, I'm not going to be like that. So I would say for me, yeah, probably I'd like to have a party with some people rather than be completely forgotten.
Okay, same. Because nobody wants to be forgotten about. Nobody wants to be forgotten.
What do you want to do for your birthday this weekend? Keep asking. I don't know. People keep asking.
My family's like, what are you doing? I'm like, I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know. I feel old. I'm not like, well, we're going to the trampoline park. Like, it feels weird. I'm like, that's not what I want to do. Okay. My point is, when you're a kid, it's like, oh, yeah, we're going on here.
Like, I want to go to Choices Pizza and play arcade games and eat pizza. Doesn't exist. Can't. But we could go play games somewhere. There's our arcade games. I get it. I'm just saying that was that was like the thing when I was a kid. It was like, oh, it's my birthday.
Let's go. Yeah, we always went to Pizza Hut. Because you were rich.
No. Because it was really the only cool place in Burley. And they had a salad bar with the wooden bowls. Yes, they do. You could get breadsticks.
That's a fact. I kind of want that right now. Go have it. It's not the same. Why?
I don't know. You know how like things change when you're and not necessarily the recipe, but it just tastes, it hits different when you're an adult. Oh, I bet the recipe's been tweaked.
You bet it has. They're not using the same, they're probably using the same base recipe, but the ingredients have changed over the years. Yeah. For sure. It's not the same.
Darn it. Let's go back to being a kid. What was your favorite birthday party you ever had? Oh, probably my sixth grade sleepover. Yeah, I remember that story. That was a big deal.
I had a lot of friends stay over. That was a big deal. That was a good one. And guess where we went? Choices Pizza.
Choices Pizza. We played arcade games and they put us in the basement. We got to have the whole basement dining room. It was very cool. Sick. I know.
What was your favorite gift that year? Couldn't tell you. Oh man. I don't even know.
Ninja Turtles something? Probably. Cool.
Yeah. I had a lot of Ninja Turtles. I now only have like one or two left. I don't know where they all went. Stuff disappears over the years, you know? I do now.
You go like, I don't need all this stuff, but I still have one. Leonardo hanging out in my studio. That's not even your favorite one.
I know. What happened to your Donatello one? I couldn't tell you. Oh no, Josh, you need a new Donatello. It's okay.
Okay. I don't think you can still get like the 90s. Oh, I'm sure somebody is selling that on eBay. Let's see. For a lot of money. Like authentic 90s ones. And why is Donatello your favorite? Because of his weapons?
The Bo staff is very cool. I mean, like I had this dude and he's for sale for $8 on eBay right now. Is he still in the packaging?
That's crazy. Get him. I don't need to get it.
Birthday present. I don't need this stuff hanging around. Okay.
Don't get it. Well, anyway, happy birthday, Josh. I hope you have a surprise party coming. I was thinking about a game that you made up the other day.
You only did it once, but I kind of want to play that game again. It's, it was called, it wasn't called anything. I'm calling it something now. You turned on some music and you said, I go, oh, I like this song. And then you go, yeah, tell me what soundtrack it's from. And I went, fantastic.
I'll do it. I'm trying to remember that game. It was the soundtrack from Can't Hardly Wait. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember that.
Yeah. We were just driving around and it came up in my community playlists and I was like, oh yeah, that'll be funny. I want to play that game again. I think I'd be really good at that game actually because I liked a lot of soundtracks because I didn't like, I have a wide variety of music I listened to. So I didn't like, I didn't like to get an album from one particular artist because I got kind of bored sometimes.
So I like soundtracks because it had a variety of different stuff. Okay. Here's the problem.
What's the problem? There are going to be so many songs that are used in a lot of different films. So for example, what movie is Montel Jordan's This Is How We Do It In?
What other songs are in it? No, that's, that's what I'm saying because I only played you one song and you went, oh, this is from that movie. So if I played you, This Is How We Do It from Montel Jordan, it's in 52 film and TV, film and TV shows.
So you'd have to play a couple of different songs. Salt and Peppa Push It is in 50 different films and TV shows. Ed and James At Last is in 49 different. Yeah.
So there would be a lot of these. Montel Jordan has his song and more songs than Ed and James. According to this list. That's crazy. Coldplay Fix You is in 42 different things.
Yeah, I bet that's a lot. Massey Star Fade Into You is in 41 different things. Earth, Wind and Fire September is in 39.
Tub Thumbin from Chumbo Wamba is in 39. You'd have to play a couple of different songs. Right for you to figure out the movie. Like if I went heavy on Huey Lewis, you're gonna know American Psycho.
Nope. Back to the future. Back to the future.
He was, that was in American Psycho a lot. Like one song. No, no, the whole thing is like this. Okay, fair.
Fair. If I said, here's a couple of tracks from Oh my gosh, my brain just shut off. Kenny Loggins. Oh, you'd say Top Gun. That would be a lot of Top Gun. Right.
Exactly. No, he's only got one song in Top Gun. He's got a couple. No, what other one?
But it, but what other movies has he been so like tightly associated with? I don't know. Right. But if you heard the Kenny Loggins next to the Righteous Brothers track, you'd go, okay, yeah, this is Top Gun for sure. Right.
Yeah. Because you'd be like, okay, I know exactly what this is. But then I think I'd be good at that game. But then you have to say what scene that song is in the movie. Now you're getting too specific. No, because I could do it based on certain movies.
So if I said, uh, Kids in America. Clueless. That's the very first thing you pulled up. Like that's crazy.
That's absolutely crazy. Because I think it opens with that song. Okay, that's fair.
I've seen that one enough times to know. I was going to pull up their discography really quick. I had that soundtrack. I could, I could tell you all the songs on that one. Okay, I looked, I just looked up the Top Gun soundtrack.
Kenny Loggins has, he has two songs. Playing with the boys when they're playing volleyball. And Danger Zone. There you go.
Kenny Loggins had two in that soundtrack. Okay. That's a couple. Anyway, I'd like to play that game again. Okay. Okay. I was trying to find where else this Kids in America was, uh, was used because I wanted to go, oh, it was also used in, you know, the, these other movies.
I just can't find it right now. So nothing better than listening to me do internet research. I know it's the best. You betcha. All right.
Should we call it a day? Yeah, I suppose. Let's start the weekend. I mean, we still have other stuff to do. I know.
Three day weekend though. We'll be back in the studio on Tuesday, uh, with a new show. So thanks for hanging out with us. Have a great day and we'll see you next week. Good weekend.
Let's have one. But sentences broken apart and not always full. See you later. Bye.
