Full show transcript:
Yesterday was big eagle stuff happening because, Sunny is getting ready to fledge for sure. Very sure. And Sunny and Gizmo are the two eagles. They're both, perching on the front porch, but Sunny has been hovering, which is a big, big indicator that, within the next day or so, Sunny's gonna fledge the nest and, will be the first to go. And I wouldn't imagine that Gizmo's gonna be too much further behind.
You think? I don't think so either. What's how old like, do you know the difference in their age? Is it did did one hatch, like, a day or two earlier? Or Excuse me.
I think it was just a matter of hours. Oh, okay. I don't remember, though. Yeah. It's all good.
It's gonna be, it's gonna be happening, though, real soon. There's gonna be, there's gonna be no eagles in that nest. Two new eagles on the loose. Soaring around Big Bear Valley. Watch out, fish.
I know. We Yeah. We've been watching these, eagles for a long time since they were little gray fluff balls. I know. And now they're, now they're getting ready to leave, which is pretty crazy to see.
But good for them. Exciting times. Hey. It's Friday, May 30. Let's get creative with potatoes today.
That was my idea. Make potato stamps. Would you visit a real life Jurassic Park? No. Josh still wants to go through with the yard sale.
Right. I wanna make some cash. I know, but, oh, it's so much work. An An accidental saucing of the shoe has occurred. Yes.
It was not intentional. I know. It was an accident. What kept you busy all summer? Being outside.
But Doing so much. Yeah. Washington Washington Elementary in Pocatello closed for good yesterday. After one hundred years. That's incredible.
I know. Isn't that wild? All aboard the party buzz. Let's go. We going fishing.
We taking massages and naps. Alright. We need someone to put together an ice cream trail. Anybody. Anybody wanna start that?
Man, I'll give you a first customer. I wanna live in the Elf area. Yeah. Yeah. Can we I'll live in the Shire.
You can live in the Elf area. Great. I'll come visit. K. How far is the walk?
And Grand Tour announced a controversial new host lineup. Yeah. People are not happy about it. We are Josh and Chantel. This is wake up classy 97, the podcast.
Hope you enjoy today's show. Hey. Friday. Yeah. You got that right.
It's also, a couple of things that I wanna celebrate today. One, it is, international day of the potato. Oh. Yeah. I was gonna say international harvester.
Oh, well. That song? I do remember that song. It was it's a country song. It is a country song.
Who sings it? I don't know. I don't know. International Harvester is a song by Craig Morgan. Oh.
Mhmm. I never would have gotten that. No. Me neither. I don't no.
That's not the right song. Yeah? I thought it was, like, an older, like, It came out in 02/2006. Okay. That's not the one I'm thinking of.
I'm pretty sure it is. I'm pretty sure that the one I'm thinking of came out in the nineties. Is there two international harvester songs? Not that I'm aware of. Okay.
Anyway, international potato day? Inter international day of the potato. Day of the potato. Yeah. What do you do on the day of the potato?
How would you like to celebrate? You eat all of the potatoes all the ways. Potato dishes would definitely be aware. Favorite way to eat a potato? Chip or tater tot.
I was I was thought you were gonna say tot. Yeah. Yeah. Tater tot or tater chip? What's my way?
Thanks for asking. Hash brown. I like a good hash brown. Baked potato. No.
Potato soup. Yeah. Yeah? That's how I would eat my potato on potato day. Potato soup or hash brown.
You know what I haven't had in a really long time? What? They were just talking here. They were talking about foil packet dinners. I was we were talking about that camping.
Were you? Yeah. Yeah. Because we hadn't had that in a long time. I have not had that in a really long time.
We got a fire pit. I know. Let's do it. I know. Also, today is National Creativity Day.
Oh, I haven't been creative in so long. And that is, that's really cool. Get more creative. You can support creative people. You can take classes about creativity.
National Creativity Day. I need to be creative. You need to be creative. Everyone needs to be creative. I know.
Show us what you got. And then there's people that are gonna say, well, not creative. Yes, sir. Sit down. Pick up a paintbrush.
Make some And just and just play. Just create art. Yeah. Art is Do it. Play.
Art is amazing. Yeah. And guess what? You might have had a teacher that was like, you're not good at art. You are.
Don't listen to that. That teacher was wrong. Here we go. You are good at art. Oh, make you know what you could do?
What? You could make, those stamps. You could carve those stamps out of potatoes. Hey. Do some potato art.
Stamping. Mhmm. Good idea. See? Josh.
Wow. Welcome to your Friday. We're Josh and Chantel. Hi. Sunday is National Dinosaur Day.
Oh, fun. Dino DNA. Yeah. Is that a Jeff Goldblum? That is.
Is that what that was? Yeah. It is. Okay. Well, what do you wanna do?
Okay. I wanna ask you. If there was a real life Jurassic Park, would you go? No. Really?
I mean, there's a real life SeaWorld, and I I don't wanna go there. That's because I'm just saying. They don't treat their I don't like SeaWorld. They don't treat their animals nice. But my point is, if, if that's something that it already exists, like, I like going to a zoo.
Yeah. But It's a dinosaur zoo. But I don't know. You wanna go to a dinosaur zoo? I don't know if I do.
I would. I I mean, it'd be fascinating. It would be expensive. You think? Yeah.
If you think think about how much it is to go to Lagoon or to go to the San Diego zoo or to go to its stuff is expensive. And then you'd have to fly there because it's not it's offline. It's in Oh, it's on an island. Yeah. Costa Navarre something.
That sounds right. So you'd had to fly there. Remember, they got helicoptered in, so they probably don't even have planes. You have to take a helicopter. You hate helicopters.
You're correct. So in the lost world Jurassic Park, the sequel to the original film, there was a plan to have Jurassic Park San Diego. It was Oh, that's right. It was going to have an amphitheater sort of, like like, where the gladiators fought, the coliseum. Yeah.
Yeah. It was supposed to be similar to that where they would be able to bring in around? Yeah. Right? Bring in different dinosaurs for you to see and stuff.
No. That's terrible. Which is like the the central tank at SeaWorld. They bring in Yeah. You see what I'm saying?
Terrible idea. I don't like that idea. I wouldn't go see that. Well, it didn't happen. I would go see a real life Jurassic Park, animals in their environment.
But they would have to be feeding them the right plants. Otherwise, they're gonna get sick like that triceratops. Yeah. And they'd have to have better security protocol. So here's hoping that after the fall of the first movie, they learned some things and put in some better enclosures.
Something tells me we should stop and ask if we should. Right now would be a good time to say, should we? And the answer is no. I would absolutely go. I can't believe you said no.
You I want I wanna go check out, like, there's there's all kinds of, really cool stuff in Utah with dinosaurs and bones and fossils and stuff. I would like to go check that out. Where's that at? Hold on. When I was little, there was a dinosaur park that we went to in where's that place called?
It's in Utah. Yeah. It's a tiny little town. What is that place called? I don't know.
Hey. If you met some scientists and they were like, hey. We're thinking about bringing dinosaurs back. Would you agree? Would I agree with bringing them back?
Yeah. No. Oh, you just hate dinosaurs, I guess. So there's a there's a place in no. You're fine.
I like dinosaurs. There is a Dinosaur National Monument in in, Colorado slash Utah, where they have a bunch of fossils. They have, like, a whole wall of fossils that have been un uncovered That's cool. Which is really neat. I'd like to go see that.
Yeah. It's a national park. And there's you can camp there and stuff like that. But it's a fossil bone quarry, which would be really neat. That would be neat.
Yeah. That'd be a fun way to celebrate dinosaur day. Yeah. It would. But if you can't get there before Sunday, you could probably celebrate dinosaur day when you can get there.
It's just outside of Vernal. Vernal. That's the place. Vernal, Utah. That's the place in Ashland.
Kid. Oh, man. Cool. I love that place. That was a cool place.
And that was in the eighties, so I bet it's even better now. Is that where the dinosaur, parking lot is from from Pee Wee's Big Adventure? I don't know what you're talking about. Alright. I don't know Pee Wee.
Okay. Hey. Did you know that, Jurassic Park turns 32 next month? No way. The movie or the book?
The book is older than that. Yeah. It hit theaters on June 11 in 1993. I was 12. Wow.
Well, good for you. Good for you. Yeah. Good for me too. For both of us.
Yeah. Alright. Okay. Sunday. Dinosaur Dinosaur day.
Got it. Dino day. Check. Well, I guess I'll do some good news here. Hear it.
Seems like the, Seems like the time and the place. Yeah. Yeah. Well, about thirty years ago, Amanda Jutin from Cookeville, Tennessee enrolled in college. That was about thirty years ago.
She never finished because she put her schooling on hold to raise five kids. And her life was turned upside down in 2020 when she lost her vision completely because of an eye condition, and school once again became a part of her life as she traveled to Colorado Center for the Blind where she spent eight months learning life skills in braille, mobility, cooking, and a bunch more, all taught by instructors who were also blind. Well, then she went back to Tennessee, and she kept growing and learning. She enrolled at Tennessee Tech University in 2022 and worked toward a degree in professional studies with a focus on organizational leadership. Well, earlier this month, all that hard work paid off.
She walked across the graduation stage with her loyal guide dog, Colonel, by her side to receive her diploma. She was determined to not let blindness slow her down, which it apparently hasn't, and even uses a springboard for bigger career goals, which is super awesome. That is awesome. She said blind people are not sitting in their basement waiting for the end. They're out there living their lives, and I wanted to do that too.
That's fantastic. Which I think is really, really awesome. So, she has officially graduated college, with her guide dog, colonel. Yeah. Colonel's there every step of the way.
Yep. You know he is. That's right. And, and from, you know, starting college thirty years ago to finishing and graduating, that's a huge accomplishment. Good job.
Way to go, Amanda. Amanda and colonel. That's right. Well done to you. And I and I imagine I know, like, there's the school for the blind and and deaf in Gooding.
I don't think it exists anymore. No way. I think it I think it shut down. Really? I think years and years and years ago.
I was just, I was just marveling at the fact that they had the Colorado Colorado Center for the Blind where they teach life skills and how to function. I think that's fantastic. Me on that, but I think it I think it closed years ago. I'm not I gotta find out. I'm not for certain.
Yeah. Find out for fact check me, Josh. Real time fact checking. It is open still. Is it still?
Yeah. Way. Yeah. Idaho Idaho Educational Services for the deaf and blind serving, Idaho's children since nineteen o six. They still have their headquarters and campus in Gooding, Idaho.
Okay. So Look at what I learned. To the best of my knowledge, they're still up and running. Well done, Gooding. So very good.
That's what I know. Good news to get you going this morning. We are supposed to be preparing for a yard sale. Tell me how that's going, Josh. Well, I haven't started preparing yet.
I know. You know why? Why? Because I knew that we weren't gonna have time to prepare for a yard sale. Remember when we talked about doing a yard sale, and I said, we don't have time.
I don't wanna do it. And you said, oh, yeah. We got this. We got time. We got this.
It's not this weekend. Yeah. It is. No. Next weekend.
Next weekend. Yeah. Mhmm. We have a really good time. All we've got is time.
Sure. Sure. We do. I just wanna remind you that this was never ever my idea, and I wanna remind you that I said stop. It takes too much work.
The payout is never worth it, and it's a lot of work. Yeah. That's all. I just wanna remind you Okay. That I was against it from the beginning.
Oh, alright. That's all. I'm just saying that it's worth a couple hundred bucks to do it. You gotta prepare all the stuff first. Yeah.
I'm aware. Okay. I've got a I've got a series of things that need to happen, starting with emptying the trailer that has a bunch of wood in it. Mhmm. So I've gotta take that to the dump.
And then once I have the trailer empty, things will go a lot quicker and smoother. Will they? Sure. How so? Well, I can take the trailer to the storage unit.
I can empty the storage unit. And then if we don't need the storage unit anymore, we're saving money. I agree. I wanna get rid of that storage unit. Be great.
Yeah. That would save us $50 a month. I know. We're paying $50 a month to store stuff that we don't even use Correct. Or need or want.
So dumb. I know. Right. So if I can that alone to me is worth the effort. I know.
I agree with you. Yeah. I'm in full support of that, but there's also the garage. Which everything in the garage is already bagged up and ready to go. Yeah.
I know. But then it's like So I got, like, two loads of stuff. And you gotta take it over to our brother in law's house. Correct. The yard sale is happening.
Yep. Then it all has to be priced. Yeah. Ugh. Oh, this is no big deal.
I hate yard selling. I hate it. Hate it. Hate it. Now I like yard selling.
Don't get me wrong. You like going to yard sales? Yeah. You just don't like hosting. Nope.
Yeah. Never have. I never will. Never have. I'm just it's not gonna be like, it's gonna be some work.
Yeah. But I don't think it's gonna be this monumental amount of work that you're thinking about. Plus, if I can get us out of the storage unit, which would be awesome, that's gonna be a money saver. I understand. We make a few hundred bucks, and, and that can go, you know, right into that envelope that we're saving some money in, or whatever.
We gotta get on the ball then. We got some things that need to happen. I know. Okay. I'm aware.
Alright. Starting with the trailer getting empty. That's step one. K. You've been saying that for three weeks.
Two. Two weeks, I've been saying I need to empty that trailer. Last week and this week, and I just haven't done it yet. But I will. Okay.
It'll get taken care of. I have full faith in you. I don't feel like it. I think you're like, no. It's not gonna happen.
No. Because yard sales are the worst. Who agreed to this? A a a bunch of people. It's a multifamily thing.
I know it is. But who from our family agreed to this? Well, you brought it up originally, and I said, yeah. We should. And then I said, never mind.
Let's just take it to the donation center. Was too late. We were now committed. No. It's never too late.
We can back out anytime. Nah. There I was quietly eating my dinner, enjoying my taco, and then I felt something what on my leg? Nah. It was On my ankle.
Let's let's, look. Down. Alright. And there's sauce all over my blue shoe and my leg. And not just sauce, but, like, chunks.
I know. Listen. We we were having quesadilla. It's very delicious, and the consomme is very good. And I'm very, like, enjoying dinner.
Like, I was really happy with the flavors, and it was it was very yummy. Yes. It was. I was having a good time. Me me too.
Until I was Well, I'd finished my quesadilla, and I was I'd moved on to my carnitas taco, which was also good. And I was I was happy, but I was sad that I was missing out on the on the consomme. So I said, I feel like I should dip this in there. And you said, go for it. There's tons of it.
There's a whole Go wild. There's a whole container of it. And so I picked it up, and I dipped my, taco in there, and I took a bite. And then I went to set down the the cup of consomme, and that's where it all went wrong. That's where it all went Because I didn't see that there were a little cup of limes there.
And so when I set it down, it completely tipped over and spilled on the table over the edge onto the floor, and your ankle and shoe were in between the floor and the sauce hitting the floor. That's a real Chantel thing to do, Josh. You did say that. You did say, that's something I would do. I know.
You're not usually like that. Those kinds of things don't usually happen to you. Notice the limes. That was really the big the big problem was that the limes showed up, and I don't know where they came from. But I I set that down on the limes, and it tipped over.
I feel like maybe that's partly my fault. What part? The limes. Is that where did the limes come from? I moved the limes from the side of me to the front of me in between you and me because I said, oh, hey.
Here's some limes that you could put if you want some lime. Oh, that's right. You did say that. I had already used the lime. I was good with lime.
Oh, so you did hear me say that. So you think the limes were there? No. I heard you say something about limes because I said I've already used limes. I'm good as I'm dipping it in the consomme.
Yeah. Well It was a bad night. My shoe, I looked at I here's the thing. I was enjoying my taco so much that I felt I saw the spill. Yeah.
And then I felt it on my foot. Yeah. But I didn't immediately look down because I was like, yeah. Taco's good. I can have another bite.
Yeah. And then I looked down and went, my shoe. Right. So, you were concerned that your shoe was gonna be stained forever, but you washed it. I forgot.
Looked? No. I forgot to take it out. I scrubbed it when we got home and then threw it in the washer really quick because it's canvas. Yeah.
They're made out of paint. It's clean. I guarantee that is the cleanest shoe you've ever seen. It's gonna be, like, brand new. I hope so.
If it's not, you owe me a new pair of shoes. You do. It's gonna be fine. That shoe is so clean. If it's not, though, you owe me a new pair of shoes.
You just want a new pair of shoes. Yeah. Kinda. Yeah. Well, I'm sorry that I spilled the the awesome sauce onto your shoe.
It's fine. But I'm sure your shoe is fine. And then I had to grab a bunch of napkins, and I had to just clean it all up. It was a lot. I know.
I've been there. I've done that. Lot of food. It's a real Chantel thing to do. Yeah.
I've been there. Yesterday, I tripped over a light in the studio. This is true. Clear on the fly. I know.
I'm a klutz. That kind of stuff happens to me, not to you. What's going on in your brain? You moved limes. That's what happened.
You moved limes. I was fine until you moved limes. Everything was good. I will not take blame for this. That's fine.
Don't don't take blame. Just don't move limes unnecessarily. I'm good. I used limes. You could've said that out loud, and then I would've moved the limes.
No. You wouldn't have. You were busy eating your food. Busy. You weren't moving anything.
You moved it once. It's done. I'll take half credit. Alright. I will too.
Alright. But, your shoe's gonna be fine. I hope so. But if not, guess what? If you wanna see my shame in her, messed up shoe, check out the video.
It's on our TikTok and Instagram, Facebook, and everywhere else. At classy ninety seven k l c e. Sad. Sad day. It's all good, though.
Oh, no. It's all gonna be okay. These things always fascinate me, and they're they're doing one in Pocatello. The Pocatello fire department is gonna conduct a live burn and learn training exercise. This will be happening on June 3, and it's gonna be happening on Hawthorne Road right across from the Home Depot.
So if you're in that area or, you're gonna be traveling that area, there will be essentially controlled house burning happening, between 8AM and 5PM. So it's gonna be an all day thing. And the Pocatello Fire Department has put out a press release about it, but they're going to do live fire training, where they, they basically start a house on fire Yeah. And then they go through training exercises to look at, like, what happens, and then how do you investigate, and how do you put it out, and all of those kinds of things. I know.
It's super, super fascinating. Right? And it provides you this, like, critical hands on experience for firefighters and investigators to observe fire's behavior, practice tactical operations, and improve fire investigation text techniques in a controlled realistic environment. So it's very, interesting. And they're suggesting that motorists, use caution in the area.
Intermittent heavy smoke may reduce visibility. Alternate routes are advised. Residents with respiratory conditions may want to avoid the, the area during the burn. And the exercise, they say, will follow US Environmental Protection Agency and National Fire Protection Association safety standards. Weather and safety conditions are carefully monitored as they get ready to do this stuff, so they don't put anything else in danger other than what they're trying to burn.
But the, Pocatello Fire Department release about it. It's happening on June 3. That's next Tuesday, 8AM to 5PM on Hawthorne Road across from Home Depot, in Pocatello. So Thank you. Be be aware.
Fascinating. I know. Right? I mean, even just to see, like, what what are the effects of fire on a home and smoke. Like, the smoke is super, super, super hot.
Right. And, you know, and the flame, obviously, is hot. But it's it's pretty amazing what our homes are made of and the things in our home are made of and how they melt and burn. And, it's it's pretty pretty incredible. So, anyway, more details on that are on the city of Pocatello's Facebook page.
If you, you know, don't follow them, you should. You should. Good info there. And that's coming up on Tuesday. So Thank you to our firefighters Yeah.
Who are learning and training and and helping us every day. That's exactly right. Keep up the, the good fight of the firefight. You know? That's what I'm saying.
I'm I'm cure I wonder if they just let I don't know. I'm it's a training exercise for them. I know. But I'd be curious to just go stand around and watch, though. From a safe distance?
From a safe distance. I just wanna watch and be like, oh. Uh-huh. Fascinating. Oh.
Oh. There's a fire in there. Oh. How are they gonna do this? Oh.
Oh, they have hoses now. Today and yesterday are the last days of school for a lot of people and a lot of teachers. And so I just wanna say, hey, kids and teachers. Best of luck this summer. Yeah.
Stay cool. Stay stay cool. Let's hang over the summer. Teachers Yeah. Well done.
Job well done. Yeah. Enjoy your break. Right? Exactly.
A little bit. Yeah. Kick your feet up for a minute. I know there's, like, teacher workdays and classroom cleanups and all kinds of other stuff that has to happen before you get to totally bow out for the summer, but, enjoy it. Yeah.
It's like a hundred days or so. Take advantage. A hundred and four days of summer vacation? According to Phineas and Ferb. Yeah.
What did you used to do during the summer? Play outside. Yeah? Yeah. A lot of that.
We would go on camping trips. We'd go on, like, a, like, a one week long camping trip every every summer, which was good. We do, you know, like, a big, loop on the highway and stop at different campsites along the way, which was fun. Yeah. Lot of hanging out at the house, a lot of water fights.
Yeah. Lots of summer stuff. Because both of my parents worked. Same. So I became quite the little latchkey kid because I had rules Uh-huh.
When my parents were at work. I had older brothers and sisters, but they they were told to watch me, but they didn't. And they didn't care what I did. You just go away. Yeah.
Uh-huh. Basically. So So it was a lot of riding my bike around the neighborhood. Oh, yeah. Lots of bike riding.
And I followed my parents' rules of staying close to the house, but that didn't mean I wasn't gonna be outside riding my bike as far as I could go. Which is to the corner, or did you go past that? Did you cross streets? Not a busy street. Yeah.
But just within the neighborhood. Yeah. In the neighborhood, I just wandered all over. And then I'd come back and be like, mom, are you at home yet? You've been gone fifteen minutes.
Go away. What's for dinner? Yeah. No one's taking care of me. Who's making me lunch?
Yeah. Been out here playing with the with the plum leaves, and it's just not filling me up, making mud pies. I loved the plum leaves. See, I know. I know your story.
You do. I know all about you and the plum leaves, plum leaves soup, bicycle drive throughs. Yeah. Yeah. I had all that.
We coulda hung out. We could've hung out. We didn't we didn't, though. We lived in completely different worlds. But I also used to steal my brother's matchbox cars.
Uh-huh. And then I would play in the dirt in them, and then you'd have to hurry and wash them. Yeah. Well Before he noticed they were gone. You'd have to hurry and wash all the dirt off, and then Yeah.
And all the axles rusted now. They might have. They did. All of them have rusted axles. Not that he's, like, out there going, man, I wish I had my Matchbox cars.
I'm playing some dirt real quick. Nah. He was too busy playing on the Nintendo. Mhmm. And then I'd say, hey.
Could I have a turn? No. Get out of here. Fine. I'll go take more of your stuff.
Yeah. That's a real little sister thing to do. Well, let me play with your Nintendo. Don't be a true I played a lot of Nintendo. I did that.
But lots of running around the neighborhood, all that stuff. It was good. It was summer outside. That's where I was. Saw a neighbor kid the other day as we were coming home.
He didn't have a shirt on. We know this neighbor. He didn't have a shirt on. No shirt. No shoes.
Or shoes. Yeah. Just walking down the street. Oh, he'd been he had a couple of buddies. They'd been swimming in the canal.
Oh, yo. What? Swimming in the canal. I did plenty of that too. Did that too.
Yeah. I would not do that now. Yeah. Well, that's where they were at. Like, that kid is living his best summer life.
Yeah. No shirt. No shirt. No problems. That's another country song.
That's two of them today. Look at us go. Yeah. Well, happy summer. Teachers and kids Enjoy it.
Be safe. Mhmm. Listen to your parents. Wear sunscreen. Don't listen to your older sibling.
Yeah. Yesterday was, a bit of a sad day for Washington Elementary. We talked about this. Yeah. Well, we talked about it earlier this year.
Back in January, they decided officially, the Pocatello Chubbock School District, board of trustees, decided that in response to declining enrollment and the building's aging condition, that would require sufficient maintenance to remain operational, that they would close, Washington Elementary after a hundred years. Wow. I mean, think about the amount of kids who have graduated from that elementary school. That school could tell. Unreal.
Right? Now this this school, is located, on Tenth Avenue, right in the middle of a great residential area, near the university district there in Pocatello, which is which is a really cool place. There, were hugs and tears, of course, and I like how they how they finish things off. You ready for this? Yes.
They had the fifth grade class, the school's final graduating class, lead the way out the door followed by the rest of the student body, and they rang the bell for the last time Aw. On Thursday afternoon yesterday, marking the end of the school year and a century of memories, as the neighborhood school will be closed for good, which is pretty, pretty interesting. Students will be re reassigned to Greenacres and Indian Hills Elementary Schools. Oh, I used to. I know.
At Indian Hills. Did you say that Indian Hills? Yep. And at the time sorry. No.
You're good. Go ahead. No. Go ahead. You go ahead.
I was gonna say, and the staff have been placed at other schools throughout the district. So the the folks that are sticking around do have homes Okay. Good. Which is which is good news. Yeah.
That is great news. Mhmm. Oh, I like that. Going to say? I was gonna say I liked Indian Hills.
Okay. They they did have some long standing traditions. The annual fifth grader versus staff kickball game happened. It's seventeen ten staff victory. Oh, they don't know what they do.
No. Yeah. They had a special breakfast honoring the fifth grade class and a spirit filled field day. They also had, student presentations and alumni reflections, a lot of whom recalled their favorite teachers and cherished classroom classroom memories and the school's sense of community, which is really cool. That's sweet.
A student writing contest. The winners shared favorite moments from their time at Washington Elementary. Really cool. Do they have plans for what to do with that building? Are they gonna demolish it?
Are they gonna leave it vacant? What's what's the plan? You know, I don't see where they talk about what is planned for Next. For the building or that space. Yeah.
I know that as far as continuing to use it as a school, they said it would have been immensely expensive, to, what did they say? It would require significant maintenance to remain operational. So Gotcha. It is a hundred year old plus building. So A teacher student kickball game?
It does say it is unknown what's in store for the building as the historic school is now closed for good. So No. But, anyway, that whole story is, at eastidahonews.com if you wanna read more about it. Kind of the the end of a giant era Yeah. It is.
For a lot of, a lot of kids at Washington Elementary. So best of luck to everybody in the new school year. Goodbye, Washington Elementary. Get it together. What?
Live radio. I know. My headphones were all twisted up. Okay. I saw this thing.
It says, there's a party bus. It goes and picks up moms, only moms. K. And there's beds on the party bus, and moms get to lay down. There's true crime podcasts playing on the bus.
Alright. And no one talks to the moms or asks the moms for anything. Okay. And that sounds awesome. Is that right?
Yeah. What would you have a party bus for? Takes you to different fishing holes? I don't know because then other people are gonna know. I would like, some sort of, okay.
What about what about this? What about if I'm listening. If it's, fisher fishermen, fisher people, and, we we get to share stories Okay. About fishing adventures as we tour, fly shop to fly shop on a, a gifted shopping spree. Oh.
Yeah. Nice. And then it ends, by taking us to, like, a private fishery. I know one that I'd like to go to. Okay.
And and it and it, it drops us off there for, like, an evening of fishing, like an afternoon, into the early evening of fishing. And then there's campfire and food, and and then, the bus takes you home after that. That sounds awesome. Yeah. That's another business idea.
I'm just full of them. You are full of them. I was thinking too while you were saying all of that. It would be While you were going on and on. Yeah.
It would be nice to have one where it's just people taking care of of me. So Uh-huh. Massages Oh. Manicures, pedicures I see. People doing my hair.
Could relax, though. Yeah. Because that's a thing you have an issue with is the relaxing. Yeah. So is it just you, or are there other people around?
Because here's here's the other part. Maybe It's gotta be people that like comfort you. You keep. Exactly. Yeah.
Maybe if it's not or maybe it is if it's stranger people. I don't know. It's not stranger people because I will not be comfortable with stranger people. I refuse. I will not.
It's just because I got too much I'm too much of an introvert for stranger people. So it has to be people that I know and people that I'm comfortable with, people that can help me relax. And then I'll be like, yes. Get that pedicure. You see?
I see it. That sounds awesome. And then you but if I think maybe if you were able to sit around and chitchat Yeah. With some some people that you know and like, it might ease you into the game. Because your mind would be occupied about that stuff while you were getting Yeah.
The massage or the pedicure or whatever. I think you're right. And then you'd be like, okay. This is a comfortable thing. Okay.
And then after that all happens, then it's like, okay. Now we're just gonna turn down the light. Uh-huh. You can sleep however long you want. Alright.
No one's gonna bother you. Awesome. Okay. I've got an entrepreneurial spirit. I just never have the capital to pull anything off.
Yeah. And I just also it all seems like a like, I love a good idea, but I I'm not really into putting in all the work. Does that make sense? Yes. So here's an idea for somebody to to steal.
No. Yeah. You told me about this idea. No. Oh.
I haven't told you about this idea. You told me about your restaurant idea. I would love to open a restaurant. I have a great restaurant idea, but this is a different idea. K.
Pennsylvania. The great American getaway, they call it. Oh, do they? Yeah. Visit pa.com is the website for their, tourism and and come to come to Pennsylvania.
They have put together what they're calling scooped, an ice cream trail. And, the idea here is that you sign up on their website, and they have an app. And beginning yesterday and running until September 7, so basically through the summer from Memorial Day to Labor Day, if you will. If you redeem 600 points in your digital passport and each ice cream shop you visit and check into is worth 100 points, When you earn 600 points, you get a commemorative stainless steel tumbler. And if you earn up to a a thousand points, you can enter to win an overnight getaway in Lancaster County to experience life on the farm, which they put in quotes.
I don't know what that means. What does that mean? It doesn't say, but you can win life on the farm I don't wanna win life on the farm. In Pennsylvania. I I don't.
But more importantly, they have an app that tracks where you go to eat your ice cream. And, oh, here. I found the details. This will be good for life on the farm. Yeah.
It's a two night stay for a family of four at Rocky Acre Farm Bed and Breakfast. Okay. A Fox Meadow Creamery experience for four people where you get to tour the Fox Meadow Creamery and have the opportunity to make a batch of ice cream in their production room your own flavor. Oh. You get to tour the Fox Meadow ice cream would you be?
I don't know. You get to tour the Fox Meadow Farm and feed a calf or two. Oh. Complimentary ice cream treat of your choice for four people and complimentary lunch with a drink for four people at their country market. That's Life on the farm.
Anyway, I think it's super cool. I, I think somebody needs to put together an ice cream trail in every state. And, if I had the wherewithal to do it myself, I would. But I like that you get rewarded for eating a bunch of ice cream. What I'm saying.
Even if it's just the commemorative tumbler. This is possible because we know a really good ice cream shop in Pocatello. We know a couple of really good ice cream shops in Idaho Falls. Sure. We know really good ice cream shops in Rexburg.
Yeah. We can make this happen. I know. You could do just an East Idaho version. Yeah.
You could. Somebody get after it. It's a it's an idea sitting there. The app already exists. You just have to make it localized.
Ice cream trail. Yeah. And the way it works, in order to check-in, you have to get a PIN number. So you go to to the ice cream place, you get your ice cream, and then they give you the the special PIN number you put into the app that then says, yes. This person did actually come to this place, and they are now earned a hundred points.
I know. You go to six places, you get the tumbler. You go to 10, you get entered to win life on the farm. We don't need to win life on the farm. But No.
We could have something else, though, that you could enter to win. Yeah. Genius. I know. Ice cream and rewards.
I know. I know. Across the city, the state. Yeah. Oh, man.
I know. Ice cream trail. I know. We already have the Oregon one running through here. Do we?
The Oregon Trail. Oh. Yeah. We do. Now we could have the Ice Cream Trail, the Lewis And Clark Trail, the Oregon Trail, and the Ice Cream Trail.
See? The marketing is just instead of like, do it in the old eight bit Oregon Trail video game style Uh-huh. And then, instead of everybody getting dysentery, everybody gets diabetes. It's a cool thing. It's ice cream.
Delicious. Josh, what is a fictional universe that you would want to live in? Oh, there's so many. Uh-huh. For sure, you would have said Star Wars.
Yeah. That would be an okay one. That'd be a fun one to live in. I'm trying to think of some others. Like, there's I mean, every show has a fictional universe that you could live in.
Like, you could live in Harry Potter land, or you could live in Middle Earth. I don't wanna live in Middle Earth. Why? That seems awful. It just I wouldn't mind hanging out in the Shire.
Yeah. The Shire is a nice place or the elf air area. The elf area. Yeah. Sure.
I'll be in the Elf Area. It's where you'll find me. What's it called? Mhmm. The The Elf Area.
I I know somebody who is a huge Lord of the Rings fan. She would be so upset that I don't know the Elfland. I'm gonna look it up. Elfland and Lord of the Rings. Rivendell.
What about Grouchland? Grouchland? Yeah. You could hang out in Grouch Land. Love to live there.
You would? Yeah. With all the grouches? And there's a lot of garbage. There's a lot of garbage mountain in But Mandy Patikin lives there.
Oh, I see. He's the king of Grouchland. Well From that old movie, Elmo in Grouchland that we used to watch on repeat when Beck was a baby. That's correct. Lots of diapers.
No. That was a different one. That was different? Different movie. Oh.
Okay. Also, you could live on in Narnia. I don't know much about Narnia. I don't either. Or you could live in because it's Narnia my business.
No. No. It's not your bad work. You can live in business? Star Trek No.
Or The Matrix No. Or the DC Universe No. I don't wanna live in the Batman Universe. Or the Walking Dead universe? No.
Or Pan Am, which is the Hunger Games universe? Well, these are all terrible. What about Mushroom Kingdom from Super Mario? Oh, Josh. See?
That's this is what I'm saying. You got a good one? Yeah. That is a really good one. Or the land of oh, from Adventure Time.
I don't know that one. That's where Adventure Time happens. You've got some good ones. What about, what I mean, what about the Wonka universe where everything's candy? No.
I've seen that Willy Wonka guy. He's kind of a weirdo. Alright. You know where would be a cool one to live in? Where?
Where frog and toad live. Frog and toad. There's Good Fishing, Where Frog and Toad Live. I loved those books. I loved them so much.
I never owned them, but my cousin did. Yeah. And she didn't like to read. But when I went to her house, I said, can I read your Frog and Toad books? And then desperately was like, can you just give me these books?
Because you're not reading them. She never did. Well, I'm sorry. I'm I'm reading some others here. Frog and toad would be super cool.
Some people mentioned the Pokemon universe. Or you could live in the stranger things upside down. All of yours are, like, troubling. I got all these, like, nice places where you can go and hang out, and you're like, yeah. But what about where all this bad stuff goes down?
I gave you the Elfland. Elfland. Elf Area, you called it. It's the Elf Area. I didn't tell you to live in Mordor.
Would you rather this or that? Would you rather watch as an Olympic event? Okay. Or play. You could watch or play.
Or compete? Or compete. K. Quicksand volleyball Interesting. Or vertical javelin.
Oh. I don't know how vertical I'm trying to picture a vertical javelin. So, instead of measuring distance, somehow you measure height. How high can you throw a javelin straight in the air and then get out of the way before it lands like a very sharp lawn dart? That's vertical javelin.
I think I'd rather watch quicksand volleyball. You gotta be on your toes in quicksand volleyball. Not gonna sink to your doom. It's gonna be like like, there's a small like, I was reading behind the scenes of the princess bride when they were making the princess bride and the quicksand in the what's it called? Where they see the ROUs is the fire swamp.
The quicksand in the fire swamp. Yeah. Basically, they had, like, a small layer of, like, sand. K. And then underneath, they had kind of, like, a, like, a drop door, like a trapdoor.
And so as soon as somebody put pressure on that door, that would open, and then they would fall into a mattress. So that's what would be under magic. Uh-huh. So it would it would have movie magic under it. Yeah.
I think But people sink as they're playing. Well, is it a non Newtonian fluid? That is what I wanna know. What's that stuff that you make with cornstarch? Yeah.
What's that called? Gloop. Goop. No. It's got a it's something like that, but it's a weirder name.
I feel like it's But it's a non Newtonian fluid. Okay. Rather Right? Yeah. So it's neither Well, it fluid or solid.
It is both. Right. Depending upon its density changes based on force applied to it. That's what non Newtonian Oobleck. Oobleck.
That's what it's called. Thank you. And that is, that is a non Newtonian fluid. So I feel like I wanna see volleyball played on non Newtonian fluid. Yeah.
And if that's what quicksand is, because then you constantly have to be moving Yeah. Or else you will sink. And when you sink in that stuff in Oobleck, it's a mess. Right? You know.
I do know. You know. I've played with the love oobleck. You hold it in your hand, and it becomes liquid down through your fingers. But if you punch it, it snaps and breaks apart Right.
Because of the it's a weird scientific thing. Anyway, its viscosity changes. Are you are you going for the volleyball? I wanna see volleyball in non Newtonian form. Me too.
I think that would be interesting. I'm I'm way worried about vertical javelin. Very concerned. So that's what I'm picking. Would you rather this or that?
Jeremy Clarkson. I love Jeremy Clarkson. I know. Richard farm. Yes.
Richard Hammond. Yeah. James May. Yeah. The previous hosts of Top Gear Right.
And then later on, the Grand Tour Right. They've they've wrapped it up. I know. They it was a very emotional, moment. We watched, we've we've watched all the grand tour stuff.
Very fun to watch. It is so fun to watch. Watched a lot of Top Gear over the past, I don't know, fifteen years or so Uh-huh. And and really enjoyed the show. Learned a lot about automobiles.
Had a lot of laughs. It's a it's a good show. It's a great show. It's a great show. It was was a great show because they've all retired.
They retired. However, the grand tour is not done. They have announced that there is a new presenting lineup. Oh, no. And they are rebooting it with this new lineup.
Who is it? Never Ends Well. No. Who got it? Tour fans are threatening to boycott the new series because they said, who are these people?
Oh, no. Who are they? I'm gonna tell you YouTube duo Thomas Holland and James Englesmann. Don't know them? Nope.
They are from Throttle House, which is a a YouTube channel, and they do a motoring series. And they are to become the hosts of the new Grand Tour along with one other person. Okay. You're Francis Bergeault. Who's that?
He is the viral train spotting personality who has gained fame for his enthusiasm for train cars. Have you seen this kid? No. He loves trains. He loves it when the horns go off.
He gets very excited about trains. He is an adult. Okay. And he he's gotta be in his mid to late twenties, and he loves trains Okay. A lot.
Okay. And he, got a a camera that he puts on his forehead, and his face is like and he runs around excited about trains. If you know who I'm talking about, you know who I'm talking about. I don't. If you don't, you don't.
Those will be the three new hosts. Here is what they said. Thomas and James are as knowledgeable about motors as Jeremy, Richard, and James. The only difference is they're younger, cooler No. And a lot more social media savvy.
Francis became famous for his love of trainspotting and will be bringing his humor to the show. Okay. I I agree that they might be more social media friendly, but cooler? I know. I don't think I don't think cooler was something they should have said.
No. Because I love the originals. They're a bunch of old dudes who I just loved. I just loved them. So we'll we'll see what happens.
Oh, no. They tried to reboot Top Gear. It flopped. The the they should here's the thing about this. It's fine.
If you want to do a motoring show in the style, that's fine. Work with these dudes from YouTube to turn Throttle House into the new thing. Yeah. Right. Call it Throttle House.
Right. Take what they're doing, expand on it, give them money to develop their idea. Right. Don't throw them into Grand Tour. Exactly.
I've said it about a hundred things. I've said it about Goonies. Don't redo Goonies. Make a new Goonies. Make a new one.
Call it something else. Do a new thing. Yep. I'm with you. I'm with you, pal.
It's how I feel about it. Anyway, we'll see what happens. It air. It's in development. They've just announced the cast, and that's it.
Plus, also, it's gotta be hard for the new cast to go in there because everyone's gonna be like Yep. I know. No way, man. You're gonna get a lot of critique. Yep.
