Full show transcript:
I am ready when you are. Okay. There was a Pedro Pascal look alike contest in New York City. Tell me Pedro went. I don't think he did, but there was a 42 year old winner.
His name is George. He's a lighting designer on The Daily Show. Okay. And he was convinced to show up by his coworkers and his wife. He beat out 26 other contestants and won $50.
No way. Totally worth it. And a year's worth of burritos. Woah. Where are the burritos from?
The burritos are from it's a Mexican called Sundel North. So is that who hosted the contest? Yep. To to give away $50 in burritos? And burritos.
Nice. Here's worth of burritos. Well, sweet. They were inspired by a Timothee Chalamet look alike contest that went viral, and they were like, we've got burritos and $50. And we like Pedro Pascal, so that's funny.
I was hoping he showed up and didn't win. That would have been hilarious. That would have been if Pedro showed up and didn't win. Like, what? I didn't win.
$50 in burritos. That's sweet. I know. I'm like, who do I look like so I could go ScarJo. Mhmm.
You've been told that. By two people. Two people. That's more people. Apparently.
People have told you that you look like Scarlett Johansson than have told me that I look like Scarlett Johansson. Fair. So go to a ScarJo lookalike. Do the do the makeup, do the outfit, show up, have the attitude, do the thing like you own the place. Mary Colin Jost.
I don't know what that means. Scarlett Johansson is married to Colin Jost. Oh, I thought you said something else. Oh. I don't know what you said.
Mary Colin Jost. Yeah. I thought you just named someone. No. Like, Mary Colin Jost.
Like, I mean, I don't know who that is. Mary Colin Jost. You see what I'm saying? It's it's okay. Well, it made sense to me.
It did make sense to me, and then it anyway, doesn't matter. Do do the ScarJo thing. Okay. Who else do you think you might look like? Oh, the Black Widow.
Stop. That's also ScarJo. Yeah. I know. Stop.
And start the show? And let's get to the show. Okay. Let's go. You and I have oh, hey.
Hi. Good morning. Before I jump right in, good morning. Good morning. Hey.
What's up? Hey. Bright eyed bushy tailed I see. Mhmm. Mhmm.
Mhmm. Uh-huh. I saw this, this video, this morning just a minute ago. There is a lady, who filmed on an airplane that the lady she was sitting next to decided to make a tuna salad. Gross.
Yeah. You wanna know how she made it? No. I don't. I'm a tell you.
She, stirred a tuna packet into a cup of Greek yogurt and then took forty five minutes to eat it. Oh my god. Yeah. I know. Into a cup of Greek yogurt?
Yeah. Took the cup of Greek yogurt. There's not enough space for you to stir. She I bet she got that all over her lap. I bet that was a mess.
Did it on an airplane. That's so inconsiderate. That's the most inconsiderate thing you can do. Yeah. Oh my gosh.
But also, follow her for more recipes because she knows a good one. That's so rude. I can't give it Greek yogurt. And, honestly, I have to kind of stomach my way through a tuna packet. Yeah.
Like, if I if I am using it to make a a, you know, like, a a tuna sandwich or something, Fine. But just stirring it into a yogurt, especially a Greek yogurt I'm just that's a wet situation. So as she's stirring it, you can just hear the Oh, you betcha. So that the sound is bad enough, but then you mix in the smell. Yes.
That's awful. Yeah. Why did it take her forty five minutes to eat it? She was taking her time. She just wanted to be a jerk.
Because I think that's what it is. It's possible. It's possible. She's a total Karen. Absolutely.
And she just wanted the attention and wanted, wanted to make other people uncomfortable. Mhmm. You betcha. Absolutely. Or maybe she's on a a journey, a health journey, and she is chewing every bite 20 times or something.
Okay. That's no. You can chew every bite. You can be on a health journey. They're much less irritable foods to eat.
Now you've made me mad already. Right? Apparently. She did. I don't like rude people, and I feel like that was just rude intentionally.
It's it's pretty wild too. Like, it's it's I'm I'm trying to see. She's got something else. See anything. No.
That's that's it. Just that short little video. There there's some other ingredient on there. Maybe she got chopped up pickles somehow. I don't know.
I mean, I've put chopped up pickles in my tuna salad. Well, yeah. But you also didn't make it on an airplane. No. I didn't.
I don't know what that is. Somebody. That's what it looks like. It looks like a little small container of, of sliced pickles. Now you go to the airport.
Preflight, you're hanging out. You don't get a chance to eat lunch. So you you run to the, the the quick little gas station in there to find something. And all they have is the ingredient she was able to put together. A little thing of of sliced pickles.
Then you eat it separately. Totally agree. Eat it separately. You still get your protein. How do you do it quick?
You eat it quick. No. I'm gonna take forty five minutes. Can or take it in a pouch. In a pouch.
Okay. Oh, could you imagine if she's got a can opener going on an airplane? That'd be great. The juice spilling everywhere. I don't think that's probably not allowed.
You probably can't. I don't know. I don't know either. That could be sharp. Like, if you have a metal can lid Oh.
That's sharp. Oh, I didn't think about the can. You could use that. Trying to figure out how to turn a can opener into a sharp edge. I mean, it's got that little wheel.
I'm like, I don't know. No. No. No. I bet it's not allowed, but that's I'm annoyed.
Good morning. Alrighty. Some good news to get you going this morning. This is the story about a late night road closure in Poulton Lafia LaFeld, England. Yeah.
That's how you say that. K. Poulton Lafield. Got it. Police officers were hard at work clearing a fallen telephone pole when a little girl named Ava showed up with some encouragement.
She approached the officers, handed over a small bag of candy and a handwritten note that just said, thanks for helping. Aw. That's so nice. I thought so. A tiny little gesture, but it meant the world to the officers who later shared their gratitude on social media saying your parents must be very proud of you, Ava, and we, as we are as a community.
Yeah. So cool. So These guys are working late. Can I take them candy? You bet.
I'm gonna write them a note. Thanks for helping. Here you go. It's simple. It gets to the point.
Right. It makes a huge impact. That's nice. I know. Be like that girl.
I need to be like that girl. Thanks for helping. I need more of that. I need to do more of that. Say thanks or just the gratitude or the random act of kindness?
Random act of kindness. All of the above? Yeah. Pretty cool. It's a quick and easy good news to get you going this morning.
We've been married for almost twenty years. Is this true? Next month? Yeah. Like, almost a month and a few days away.
Look at that. Yeah. You're right. You got anything planned? No.
What? It's not the day before. Come on. Okay. No.
Look. We've been, trying to figure out what we wanna do, where we wanna go, what we might like to have happen. We just haven't actually made a decent plan. You could surprise me with the plan. That's all.
Okay. That's not what I'm talking about. What I'm talking about is I was looking around yesterday going, god, we've had this thing since we got married. The griddle that we make pancakes on occasionally? The one in the cupboard?
Mhmm. Yeah. We got that as a wedding gift. Oh, okay. And then I was like still works great?
It still works great. What else do we have Oh. That's been around since we got married? Well, our love? Right.
K. Next. I think we've gotten rid of all of our furniture. I had one piece of furniture That's right. That we just got rid of fairly recently, but I think everything else is Yeah.
You you still don't have that shelf? Is that gone? Yeah. That's the one I'm talking about. So good.
That shelf that you hated. Oh, that shelf. Whoever made that shelf. Not not a good shelf maker. Let's see.
That shelf. You made me get rid of it. I I'm trying to think. Like, I probably still have some stuff from before we met, but, but what do we have that was, like, ours? Yeah.
I think we we have our original camp stove still. Oh, do we even use that anymore? I'm hanging on to it because, eventually, somebody's not gonna live there. Okay. I told you.
I got a I got a box of stuff. I'm going, alright. This leaves with you. Okay. Alright.
Here's the stuff. Let's see. Yeah. We got that when we got married. Mhmm.
I think that's it. The griddle and the camp stove. There's gotta be more. I don't think so. I don't You think everything else was accumulated over the years?
I think so. Yikes. Yikes what? It's a lot of accumulation. No.
I know, but that's better than hanging on to stuff from twenty years ago, isn't it? I suppose so. Like, I feel like maybe it's oh, my crock pot. Your crock pot is is, as old as us. Yeah.
You bought me that on our second Christmas Oh. Together. Happy Christmas. Thank you. Here's a crock pot.
We didn't have one. You wanted one. I'm sure I didn't buy it because it was, like, a sale. I'm sure it was like, I need a crock pot. Okay.
Happy Christmas. I feel like maybe it's time to upgrade those things. Like, the griddle, I feel like maybe maybe it's time. Yeah. You have to use extra like, we're probably eating some Teflon.
Is that what it's coated with? I I don't know. I haven't seen Teflon stuff anyway. I haven't seen, an issue with it. Yeah.
No. But it's probably not healthy is what I'm saying. Why? Because you have to spray your Okay. We're probably eating Teflon.
No. I don't think so. Over the years, how many times do you think we've used that? That's why it's still in good condition. That's what I'm saying.
It very often. Like, in a year, we probably use it maybe twice. If that. That's what I'm saying. So over 20 it's probably been used 25 times.
Yeah. You're probably right. I'd buy that. Why it's, like, brand new. So, no, it's not peeling off.
It's not broken. I don't know where the little grease cup went. Ew. That left a long time ago. That got lost in one of the moves years ago.
That's not still around. You say ew? Ew what? I said, where did the grease cup go? And you said ew.
That left. I don't know. I don't know. Like, that it's the grossest thing in the whole kitchen. I didn't think it was gross.
I probably just meant to see Ew. Ew, like, ew. Oh. Not ew. Well, it came out as ew, not ew.
I was thinking the well, this is I was doing laundry last night, and I thought that the wooden clothes rack. Right. Was pre Josh, but I think that's Yeah. I think we replaced it because the one you had originally was real wiggly. Yeah.
I think you're right. That's what got me thinking about it. But I'm glad we don't have that ugly green chair that you used to have. I like that chair. Yeah.
Well, I didn't. I like your shelf. I know. Only because it always fell over. It was supposed to be this freestanding small little bookshelf thing.
Mhmm. And it was poorly designed, and I kicked it all the time. It was a it was always okay. It was always kitty corner somewhere sticking out, and then, it was poorly built. And so it would fall forward all the time.
I think there was some candle wax that it spilled on there. Not a good shelf. Didn't like it. You were using it as a nightstand for a long time. Did not like it.
I liked it. Yeah. I won't disagree. It was cute, but it was very not functional. It was bad.
It's a bad shelf. Well, it's gone. Are you happy? Yeah. Now let's talk about that green chair.
It's ugly. It was ugly. But, boy, was it comfortable. No. And it kinda had a funny smell.
I didn't remember that. Goodbye, chair. So the dog is my best friend. There's a lot of truth to you. Around.
I should have taken a picture of her this morning because as annoying as she gets and how crazy she makes me, this morning, she looked pretty cute. Following you around? Well, I I wake up. I go to the restroom Right. And I wash my face.
I brush my teeth. And every morning without fail, I'll open the door, and she's, like, sitting there outside the bathroom door just waiting, like Like, hey. Good morning. Good morning. Every day.
Every day. And it's is it the same spot on the floor? Yep. That's pretty great. It's it was especially cute today.
But yesterday no. What is today? Tuesday? Yeah. Sunday, she was driving me bonkers.
And I know it's just because she's understimulated, and she wanted to go outside, and she needed to get some exercise. But I she just kept following me around. I would go outside to read. She would bark at the birds. I would take her inside.
She would bark because I was outside. She follows me around. I had some ribbon out. She was like, hey. Is that food?
Do you wanna share that? And then was barking at me because I wasn't sharing my ribbon food with her. She's crazy. I know. So she followed me around all day, and then I looked around one minute, and I go, I can't find the dog.
Where is she? And then I asked you, did you take the dog outside? And you go, no. I go, where is she? We thought maybe we had locked her in the room in a room somewhere.
I never. I thought she was in the garage still. I went and looked there. We couldn't find her. Couldn't find her.
Called her name, squeaked her toy, everything. She's not coming around. And then we start to panic going, where's the dog? What happened? Nobody even went outside.
Nobody did anything. And I went, oh, I happened to look up and saw a a tail sneaking out from the curtain from behind the curtain. Yeah. So she loves to look out the window. Yes.
And, and she's a small little dog, and so she can stand in the window, right on the windowsill. And so we'll put her up there so she can look outside because if she sees something, a squirrel, a a neighborhood cat, a dog walking by with a human, whatever, she goes nuts. Mananas. Just crazy. And so, we will sit her up there, stand her up there so she can just stand there and look out and be, you know, whatever.
Protect the house. Weird little dog. Be our be our guard dog. But sometimes, she'll get so excited. She jumps down, and then she wants to get back up.
And then she and you're like, dude, just stay foot. When she when she gets really excited, she'll jump jump down and run around the house like Right. Yeah. So we just put her, up there. And then if you close the curtain a little bit, she won't jump down.
She just stays there. I think she's afraid of Well, she can't see the ground so well because the curtain's in the way. And she's too too big to turn around in the window, so she just stands there. And that got nicknamed the babysitter. And that is where she was.
That's where I had put her. When I saw her in the tail, I went oh, yeah. I put her in the babysitter. I I don't know how long she'd been there. I don't know.
Ten minutes maybe? But it's I'd like the window's open. She's got fresh air. She's walking outside. She's entertained.
It's safe. She likes it. It's fine. It's the babysitter. And it gives me a break.
Right. It absolutely is the babysitter. There's no better name for it. I don't know how it got that name. We just need to remind ourselves that we put her in there so that we don't forget.
Make a note. We had to put a a a board on the fridge that says when we feed her breakfast and dinner and a snack, so that we can make sure that she, isn't double fed. We're gonna need another one that says the dog is in the babysitter. Yeah. Like, a little dishwasher magnet that says clean, dirty.
And and you only need to put it up when you can't find her because you'll know where she is, like, everywhere else. She's not in the babysitter. Because she'll be right next to you or barking or somewhere. You'll know where she is. Uh-huh.
But it's just a babysitter reminder. Hey. The dog's in the babysitter. Maybe an egg timer. We could call it the time out corner, but it's not she's not in trouble.
No. And she likes it. Right. It lets her look outside. You're like you try to pick her up to put her down, and she yells at you.
Yeah. She's like, put me back. Yeah. I'm looking outside. Yeah.
Just remind me that I put her there. Where's the dog? Oh, yeah. In the babysitter. Oh, very, very exciting fourth of July news.
Oh, what? Every year, Nathan's fourth of July dog Hot dog. Eating contest happens. Yes. Joey Chestnut's back this year.
Yeah. Well, last year, he did the he faced his rival That's right. What's his rival name? Labor Day. Yeah.
That guy Yoshi? Yeah. Something like that. Yeah. And they they did that on Labor Day, and they did that because, he had to sit out due to a conflict over a sponsor deal with Impossible Foods.
And Joey, did not get to participate in the Nathan's Famous hot dog eating contest. So last year, without Joey in the competition, Patrick Bertoletti won his first victory, 58 hot dogs and buns in ten minutes. Gross. Joey holds the record at 76. Woah.
Joey Joey. Joey's back. No. It's Joey's big hot dog day out. I just feel like maybe there's something else you could be doing with your life.
He's a competitive eater. That's what he's doing. I know he likes it. And he's good at it. I know.
But I don't know. But he wins lots of money. Does he? Oh, yeah. And he's got sponsorship deals.
You win money for that? Oh, huge. Like, he goes all over the world eating food Mm-mm. And making money, eating food. That's his job.
It isn't like he's, like, an accountant by day, competitive eater for fun. Like, he's devoted his life to being a competitive eater. I wanna be a competitive eater. You do? Yeah.
You wanna eat massive quantities of food? Not hot dogs. I I'll draw the limit there. You won't eat massive amounts of hot dogs? They're delicious.
Nathan's face. Gross. Hot dogs are gross. I like the dipping of the buns in the water cups. That's the part that really sells me on it.
Oh. And just shoving it in your cheeks. That he got 76 in one minute. Is that his minutes. Okay.
That's the that is the record. 76 hot dogs and buns in ten minutes. Do the math on that. What? How many is that per minute.
Divide 76 by 60. Okay. Hold on. 76 by 60. K.
K. What'd you get? One four over 15. Why why did your why did your calculator do fractions? It did decimals and fractions.
You want the decimals? 1.27 or one over four fifteenths. It's so it's basically one and a quarter. So, yeah, one and a quarter hotdog per minute? Yeah.
Gross. That's disgusting. Well I can't do that. I can't competitive eat hotdogs, and I don't want to. I'll do other things.
Competitive eat? Coconut cream pie. Oh, okay. I bet you can't finish one whole pie. Oh, I bet I could.
No. Is it Faster than somebody else? Does it have to be fast? Yeah. That's the whole point.
You have to eat the most amount of food in the fastest time. Including the crust? Yeah. The whole pie. You just want pie.
Yeah. Kinda. Yeah. That's not competitive eating. That's just eating.
I I wanna get paid to eat it. Oh, I see. Does somebody wanna pay me to eat a coconut cream pie? Nope. I'll take my time.
Remember that picture that I showed you the other day about the fireworks? No. You wouldn't. You wouldn't remember because guess what? I don't remember.
I showed you a picture of it was like a bucket, and it had these homemade fireworks of it. Yeah. Yeah. I do remember. And it had, they were made out of pool noodles, and they had ribbon around them.
Yeah. And I said, oh, yeah. You just you just do ribbon. And then you went, no. It's tape.
And I went, okay. Fine. That's not what happened at all. Yeah. I said, look at these.
Aren't these cute? Right. And I go, they're made out of pool noodles. Right. And you go, oh, yeah?
Yeah. That's the actual conversation that happened. Checks out? And I said, hey. Hey.
Hey. Hey. Hey. I pretend to be interested in things that you talked to me about. You could muster up a little more pretend excitement about my pool noodle fireworks.
Tend to be interested in about? Name it. Anything I say. Anything. That's that's nice.
Name it. Anything I talk about, you oh, good. I'm pretending. Oh, interesting. What?
What? I don't even know. I'm speechless. Here's the thing about marriage. You have to listen and pretend that you're interested.
Your partner is the person that you're with all the time. Oh, I'm just listening. Go ahead. Do I look interested? No.
You could try a little harder. Oh, I'll lean in. Go ahead. I'm all ears. I just think there's a certain level of of you get tired of being interested in stuff.
There's a lot of conversation that happens when you're married. Tired of being interested in what you have to say. You know what I'm you know what I'm trying to say. Do I? Yes.
You do. Do I? I don't know. I don't know. I'm pretty interested in everything you have to say.
So do I? You're pretty interested in everything I have to say? That's such a lie. And I remember it all, including porch decorations. What did I say ten minutes ago?
About what? I said, mhmm. Right? You said you didn't wanna eat hot dogs. No.
That's what you said about ten minutes ago. Whole conversation with you. You didn't respond, and then then I just started talking to myself. And you said I don't think I even heard it. Was I in the room?
Yes. Yeah. And then you wouldn't repeat. I said I was in the middle of reading something. You can't just talk and then expect me to be with you.
I was doing something. I was reading about Joey Chestnut. Oh. And then you went Oh. And I went, what?
I was reading. I'm the mom from Peanuts? When I'm in the middle of something. Yeah. No.
Always. You're always in the middle of something. True. So So I'm always the mom from peanuts. Maybe go, hey.
Let me know when you're listening. I got something to tell you. And then I'll go, okay. I'm ready. The problem is that, Josh, I'll forget.
Okay. So I have to say it now. So look. Here's the toss-up. You you say the thing and get upset that I didn't hear it, or you wait Or I wait chance to forget it.
Possibly forget. Oh, you'd hate it if I forgot what I was gonna say. Oh, no. You forgot? Oh, guess I'll never hear that.
And then I don't have to pretend. See? It's a win across the board. Everybody's happy. It's that easy.
Just be excited about my pool noodle fireworks. Just be more excited. I wasn't that excited. That's what I said. No.
I know. But why should I be excited? It wasn't that exciting. Like, okay. You wanna make that for the front porch?
Go nuts. Have a time. I will. Okay. And it's gonna be cute.
Okay. And then you're gonna say, where'd you get that idea? No. I'm not. Because I already know.
You've told me about it a bunch. We're fighting. About what? About pool noodle firework decorations? Yeah.
I told you do it. How I've just listened to a lot of fishing stories. A lot what? Oh, this fish does this, and this bug does this, and this caddis Yeah? Is You picked up a vocab word.
Nice. I listen to some of it. No. None. And when the hatch is on for the caddis, the fish are the fish are eaten.
Listen to you. I listen to you, and I go, mhmm. Wow. Yeah. I heard about these firework decorations too.
And I said, wow. Same. You're right. It is the same. I was reading something yesterday, and it was a little boy who was asking a question.
And he said, why are matches so short? Matches? Matches. Like a fire match. Oh, why are why is why are they so short?
Yeah. Okay. Yeah. That's a good question. Why are they so short?
Because the second I haven't lit a match in a long time. But the second you light a match Yeah. It's done. I mean, you only have a split second before it's like on your fingers, and then you have to blow that up. Put it in your mouth?
What was that? That was blowing it up. And then you and you okay. Here's the deal. Right.
Did you actually do research? Yeah. Because here's here's my what I think. Here's what I think. The reason is, they they they had to be a certain size to fit in a matchbox.
They made the box first. And so they went, we gotta make the matches fit in the matchbox. It's called a matchbox. No. That's not real.
I think, realistically, it it shouldn't take more than that stick to light a fire if you're doing it right. So here's the research. Now I initially Googled why our match is so short. Mhmm. And that brought up a lot of, wrestling matches.
Oh. Why are wrestling matches so short? So then I had to specify a little bit. They are less likely to cause accidental fires. Checks out?
Safety? They're easier to handle and store, making them more convenient for every day. Box. And that's pretty much it. Oh, and the striking surface on the box.
Yeah. It's easier if you have something a little bit smaller or reduced size. It's I would say that little, balsa wood or whatever it's made out of. What are they made out of? It's got maybe it's pine.
I don't know. It's a little tiny amount of wood. It's it's delicate sometimes. I have snapped a match in half too many times. I don't know my own strength.
I was gonna say, wow, tough guy. That's right. Right there. Those are my matchstick breaking arms. You snapped a match in half.
I know. Pretty tough. Wowie, wowie. Anyway, I did not know that. I was like, yeah.
Why are they so small? Yeah. This kid's got a point. Always burning my fingies. Yeah.
Because the second you get it lit Sure. It's really, like, the countdown is on. You've got Okay. Three seconds. No.
You have more than that. You have way more than three seconds. It isn't flash paper. But, also, how are you holding your match? Because that's gonna determine like, that's gonna be a big contributing factor to Like this.
How quickly it burns because fire goes up. So if you're holding this if you're holding it at an angle down after you light it Right. The fire is going up that stick faster than if you turn it so the stick is pointing up with the fire on top like a candle. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. You see my Uh-huh. Yeah. You know what I'm saying. I was making something last night, and I wanted to fuse the ends of the ribbon.
Not fuse them, but I wanted to just, you know That's what you wanted to do. You wanna stop them from fraying. You fuse it. Yeah. I hit that one.
That was right. I thought fuse was when you push them together. Like, you put something together. That you you fuse you you do fusing to put, like, paracord. You can it's the same thing.
Fusing is just the melting of the fibers to close it so it doesn't fray. Okay. That's what I did. Yeah. I had a lighter, but even the lighter Oh, yeah.
I was like, oh, this is hot. Right. And then I had to shake it up, shake it up, shake it up. So when when we teach, whipping and fusing of rope in scouts, you know what we do? We use a candle.
Why? Because you can light a candle. It's gonna stay lit, and you can use the flame. You don't have to burn your fingies. Eternal flame Alright.
From the bangles. No. I know. Close your eyes. No.
I don't think I will. Also, the lighter thing? Yeah. Excuse me. The thing that you have to, like, have yourself.
The flint? Sure. The, yeah, the little wheel? I hurt my thumb after a while. Well, it's because you're doing it like this.
Well, I wasn't doing it like that. You're really putting your whole arm into it. It was mostly I was doing it regular, but you have to give it some power. You can't just lackluster try to get it to start. I'm sorry about your sad little thumbs.
I know. I was like, this is a project. What? This ribbon project. I can't wait to see how your noodle project turns out for your fireworks.
I gotta go I know. It's so cute. I'm gonna make them. You're gonna be amazed. Mhmm.
I don't know. I don't even know what to say. What do you got? What do you how do you wanna start this story? I I don't know what to say about it.
It's not that big of a deal. There's lots of people who Okay. Partake in this activity. Right? Alright.
Hunting? Sure. Eating of hunted goods? Sure. Yeah.
Lot of people. We are not one of them. No. I'm not big on the game of meat. No.
Okay. So that's one way to start, but not really even start. No. Our son went camping with some cousins over the weekend. His cousins were there for a family reunion.
Right. They kinda separated themselves from the camp and have their own little camping area. That's right. But on one of the nights they were camping, somebody had bear meat. A cooler full of bear meat.
I said, hey. Do you guys wanna try some of this bear meat? And they said, yes. I would have said no. I I say no.
Nope. No. Thank you. No. Also No bear meat for me.
No. Call me crazy, but I'm not gonna eat bear meat. No. What kind of bear was it? Do you know?
Would have to be black bear. You can't hunt grizzly. So What about brown bear? That's the same. The same?
I thought there were three kinds. Polar. Well, no. Blacks and browns are the same thing. Okay.
Okay. So they ate this bear meat, and yesterday, Beck sent us a text and said, I don't feel well. He left work early because he wasn't feeling well and then said what did he say? I think it's I don't think my body enjoys bear meat. Yeah.
That's the line. I don't think my body enjoys bear meat. He'd had it two days early. Right. I don't think he was sick from the bear meat.
No. But I also when he initially told us about the bear meat, he said it was good. Right? He said he liked it. I didn't even wanna get more information because I was kinda grossed out by it.
I mean, people he said there was, like, ground ground, bare meat. There was, like, bare meat steaks. I'm not no way. No way. I agree with you.
I don't even eat fish. But I also I know. I catch them. I put them back. Is was it tender?
Was the meat tender, do you think? Or is it more of a rye? I've heard that people will do it in, like, a stew. Ugh. And then it has a chance to kinda break down a little bit more and become a little bit more enjoyable.
I can't imagine it's a tender meat. I can't imagine it tastes very good at all. Just leave the bears alone. I I yeah. No.
No. Thanks. My body doesn't enjoy bear meat. Yeah. Me neither.
I'm gonna put that on a shirt. Yeah. My body doesn't enjoy bear meat. Yeah. I don't know.
Somebody was around and was like, hey. You wanna try a a piece of this bear? I beg. Oh, I don't. No.
Thank you. No. I don't even eat deer meat. Yeah. Deer meat.
You want a elk steak? No. No. Thanks. No.
I don't. Ugh. I just like my domesticated cow meat. It's mostly, do you have any carrots? Yeah.
Oh, is that right? Or Yeah. And some vegetables? Because I'll eat that. And then you're over here like, I'll turn that carrot into bacon.
Yes. Yeah. I wanna try a carrot bacon. I haven't made it yet, but I want to. I know you do.
Like, so like that. It's how we it's how we found her. It was because of that carrot bacon video. Yeah. She's great.
She is great. Tabitha Brown. That's her name. I couldn't remember. She's awesome.
Yeah. She is not a bear meat fan. I guarantee it. No. She's neither am I.
My body doesn't enjoy it. Yeah. It's not made for bear meat. We just tried the Selena Gomez Oreos. Yeah.
And I gotta tell you straight up. Straight up now tell me. They're not the Paula Abdul Oreos. They are the Selena Gomez. Well, let me let me look at the package again.
K. Because, if you wanna see the full review, we do, I'm in the process of posting it on our YouTube channel, because we we tried them this morning. But Selena and Oreo aren't just dropping a new Oreo cookie. They're dropping a new song with it. Open the pack to taste the new Selena Gomez signature Oreo cookies and scan the code to hear the new song.
So there is a, a new, a new song, and you scan to unlock Selena's exclusive content as well. Not know that. That's right. So this is, this is her signature cookie. It has a chocolate cinnamon flavored cookie on the outside and not one, but two stufs in the in the middle of the Oreo because there's only one f in stuf.
They have a chocolate and cinnamon flavor cream and a sweetened condensed milk flavor cream with cinnamon sugar inclusions. What I know is that they were very delicious. Oh, yeah. We didn't have any milk. I I wish we had had some milk.
But disagree. They were delightful. Very, very good. And, I would highly recommend them. I would too.
They're really, really good. I like Selena Gomez. Okay. I like some of her songs. Okay.
So I'm curious to hear her song. You just scan the QR code and just That's what it says. Bring it up. That's what it says on the package. Yeah.
We tried the Post Malone ones. Uh-huh. Those were good. The Post Malone ones were good. We tried the Lady Gaga ones.
They weren't as good. I don't even remember those ones. They were pink. Yeah. But I'm confusing them with the cotton candy ones.
Oh, well, they didn't taste like cotton candy. Mm-mm. I really enjoyed the gingerbread cookie ones. The s'mores Oreos were good, but I don't know where they went. Your son ate them all.
Checks out. Took us a long time to find those. I know. And I think I had one. I think and that was the only package we've ever seen.
Yeah. I've not seen them again. He even said he's a big Oreo fan, our son. He saw those on the counter and said, oh, whose Oreos? And I said, hands off.
We're taking those to work. Hands off. We gotta have some first. You can't be eating all the Oreos, kid. Man.
I'm sorry. I need to find some more of those. But anyway S'mores? Yeah. The the S'mores Oreos were pretty good.
I like the graham cracker. But anyway, that's fine. Selena Gomez Oreos, do recommend. I agree. They're very good.
10 out of 10. Yeah. Yeah. Super, super yummy. In fact, do you wanna have another one?
I do. Okay. Let me not write this second. I'm gonna hear in a minute. Because if I put it in my mouth, then I can't talk.
I know. I See? And I don't think people just wanna listen to me chew. Who has some milk here? Anybody have milk?
You can go check that fridge. Oh. Yes. Nope. Go check the communal break fridge.
Break break fridge. No. I'm not doing it. I bet there's milk in there. Nope.
I bet it's not fresh. Ew. Stop it. I'm not. Ew.
I was, I was telling, one of our sales guys this morning. I said there's an aroma in the fridge. Ugh. And he said, oh, is it time for the email? I said, probably.
So there'll be an email probably this week that says, hey. If you have stuff in the fridge, clean it out. Clean it out. Yeah. Ew.
I hate those emails, and I hate community fridges. Gross. It's it's about time for the community fridge email. Community fridge clean out? Yeah.
Nice. Anyway, get yourself some if you, if you wanna try a good cookie. The Celine Gomez order cookie is tasty. Pass me over another one. Okay.
I will. Hey, Josh. What's up? When you do laundry, what do you do with all the abandoned lonely socks? Do you, a, do laundry at all?
Yes. I do. You know the answer to that. Throw away the lonely sock. No.
Hold on to it for one more load hoping that you'll find the match, or pile them up for months and months and months and months. None none of the above. What do you do? Well, first of all, I do laundry. I would say once or twice a month, maybe more than, like, once a month, because it's usually done.
But it happens like, I'll go home and I'll be like, hey. I'm making the bed. The laundry basket's full. I'll do a little load of laundry. Like, that's usually how it goes.
Sometimes that happens. Sometimes it's not that full, so I let it sit there. But when I'm folding the laundry, socks are the worst. Yeah. I hate the socks.
Right? Do with the lonely socks? If I have a lonely sock, I put it on top of the dresser. Okay. And then I hope its friend finds it.
How long does it sit there on top of the dresser? I don't know. They disappear eventually. So they must have, ventured off to find their friend. It's a fairy.
The the missing sock ferry comes and gets it? Yeah. Well, that makes sense. Same ferry that makes sure all the dishes are put away and yeah. That ferry.
Really? Uh-huh. Well, I'm glad we have that ferry around. Okay. I had I'd like to hold on to them for a little while to see if their match shows up.
Yeah. There was I made a cute little sock holder. You did. It was like a little wire rack with little, clothes pins on it. And if we had a missing sock, a lonely sock, you would clip it on there.
Yeah. And there were socks on that thing for over a decade. Yeah. There were. I finally threw them away Probably about three months ago.
I was like, I'm never gonna find these socks. Why am I hanging on to these? This is ridiculous. Because they liked hanging on the wall. I finally threw them away.
There was a while too where the kids were in elementary school, and they had their own little mini whiteboards in some of their classes. Yeah. And so their teachers, as part of their school supply list, would require you to bring in a sock to use as your eraser. Makes sense. So I would use some of the socks.
I would save the socks and use them for their dry erase marker or Totally. Eraser. Yeah. Makes sense. But they're not in elementary school, and they haven't been for four years.
Yeah. So Or more. Like, why why am I hanging on to these socks? I don't know. I got rid of them.
For fun? Don't you fret, and don't you frown. I think there are three lonely socks up there now, but I know that they have matches. Well, so do the other ones. The other ones, I'm sure, are lost in Beck's room somewhere.
It's a good chance. There's a good chance. Or they're underneath a couch because somebody kicks their socks off. It's the same guy. Kicks their socks off and then doesn't pick them up.
And I don't know how they end up under the couch, but they sure do. Yeah. And then you go, what what is all these socks under? Where did these socks come from? Oh, they got kicked them off.
And then you pick up the socks. When you find them on their couch, you go, these are the holiest socks. Yeah. How long have you been wearing these socks? Go get new pair of socks.
You have a nice job. Ugh. You're an old person. I just go I don't want Go take care of yourself. I don't wanna spend money on that.
That's boring. That was just a little rant. Sorry about that. You okay? Did you get it out of your system?
I'm good. Feel better? Came at me about doing the laundry. I had a moment about holy socks. We good?
Yeah. I'm just tired. Alright. Take a little snoozer. Would you rather this or that?
Hey. Would you rather wear flip flops everywhere No. Or go barefoot? Yes. Barefoot?
You hate being you hate both of these. Ugh. I'm surprised you picked barefoot. You hate being barefoot. Pick barefoot.
I I was hasty with getting rid of flip flops because I don't like them, and I was hoping there'd be a better shoe. You used to like flip flops, and I liked it when you wear flip flops. Yeah. I am gonna go barefoot because I love being barefoot. I know you do.
It's gonna be a struggle, especially if you're on rocky terrain. Or in the snow. Or in the snow or on a hike in the mountains. Everybody's gonna go like, oh, here comes old flip flops. Who's gonna say that?
Clop clop clop clop clop clop clop clop clop clop clop clop clop clop clop clop clop clop clop clop clop clop. Everybody. No one's gonna say that. Every time I go a walkin', they're gonna go, oh, here comes old flip flops a walkin'. This no one's gonna say that.
Flip flip flip flip flip flip flip everywhere I go. Here comes old flip flop and barefoot. Flip flopping barefoot. What if you had one barefoot and one flip flop flop? Flip flop.
Flip flop foot. Flop flop flop flop. See, because you're not wearing the flip. I got it. Right.
This is just a flop. That's what it sound like. One barefoot, one flip flop. What if instead of a barefoot, you had a wet sock foot? Ugh.
So you'd get squish flop, squish flop, squish flop, squish flop. No. I'd rather wear flip flops in bare feet than a wet sock. Wet sock foot. You'd make wet sock feet marks everywhere.
Yes. Can you imagine how dirty that sock would be? Yikes. Pretty dirty sock. I'm going barefoot.
I'm going flip flops because I don't like being barefoot. I don't think they are. Made to wear shoes. Okay, cavewoman. What?
Would you rather this or that? There's little things in life that that bother me. Little annoyances. Little things that just every day I have to deal with that I go, why do I have to deal with this? Okay.
And and it's a me problem. It's it's my issue. So I shouldn't put it on anybody else. But why does someone who works here, I have no idea who, leave the dish soap so close to the edge of the counter? Have you noticed this?
No. What what happens? So you go into the break room, and I'm just washing a cup, and, and the soap is really far forward. It bugs me so much. Why?
Push it back. But but why? Push it back. Why does it bother you so much? Why is it hanging out there so far forward?
Put it back. Did it did it fall into the sink? No. It's not close to the sink. It's close to the edge of the counter.
Like, it's Edge of the counter. It's really far forward. Push it back. That's one. Thing two, we have extra rolls of paper towel.
No one replaces it. I walk by. I go, there's that stupid empty tube again. So I go open it. It drives me crazy.
If you use the last paper towel, replace the wall. Right. And it's not like the paper towels are hard to find. No. They're right there.
And I feel like I do that once or twice a week. I walk past the paper towel thing and go, and I have to stop whatever I'm doing and fix it. And the soap I'm telling you. I don't know who's leaving that soap so far forward. Why is it so you're saying that it's even in front of the sink?
It's not by the sink. It's to the right of the sink. So here's the sink. You're standing at the sink. You're gonna wash a dish.
Okay. You reach forward. You grab the soap. You squeeze a little bit. You wash your dish.
You set you would set the soap there just to write conveniently. Yeah. Right? Uh-huh. You finish washing your dish.
You walk away. Push the soap back. Replace the paper towels. Push the soap back. Cannot guarantee that I haven't put the soap back.
Bro. I could be the culprit of that one. Do you do you do this every day? No. The soap is moved every day.
No. I don't I don't wash a dish every day. Every day. Multiple times every day, the soap is forward. Like, I belong here.
I feel like I I need to draw on the counter a soap parking spot Okay. And say soap goes here. And then maybe at the bottom of the toilet paper Yeah. Folder And the bay and the paper towel. Just put an arrow that says Refill.
More behind you. Open your eyes. What an inconsiderate thing. You also have to refill the water cooler. All the time.
Yeah. I've seen you do that before. I go, it's empty again. Every day, it's empty again. Put another thing on.
Here we go. It's bananas around here. Good. They're not paying me to do any of this. It's all stuff that just bugs me enough that I take care of it.
My favorite part is when you get upset by stuff because you're pretty cool and collected and calm, and nothing really bothers you. Oh, this does. So I could tell. I bet that soap is out right now. I'm gonna go check.
Hope so. I'm gonna go check. I hope so. I hope it is, and I hope the paper towels are empty. Oh, they probably are.
Yeah. I'm gonna send an email to the whole company. I'm gonna say, please push the soap back. And if you use the last of the paper towel, put a new one on. It's not that hard.
Just I really think you should make, like, an outline. Draw an outline of the bottom of the soap. Yeah. Soap goes here. Yeah.
Please do that. Soap parking only. Yeah. And I'll put one where it always ends up. It says no parking.
Yeah. Yeah. No parking zone. Come on, man. Anyway, that's what that's what's going on in my day.
Pretty riveting stuff. Wow, Josh. Yeah. What a life. Must be so hard to be you.
I get it. I get it. It's little stuff. I said it's little annoyances, but, man, does it make me cranky. Anyway, that's gonna be, it's gonna be the end of the show.
That is the end of the show. Yeah. Another one bites the dust, as they say. Is Is that what they say? Another show bites the dust.
I don't think that's what they said. That sounds a little wrong. That's not it. Another one in the books, maybe. Oh, sure.
