Full show transcript:
Have you looked at the weather forecast for the next few days? I have not. You should pull that up.
Okay, I'm going there now. It's going to blow you away. It's going to be gorgeous. It is amazing this weekend.
Dude, it was so nice yesterday. I have to go to the mountains. I just have to. I've got to go fishing or something. I have to.
I have to. It's going to be a beaut. Sunny and mid-fifties throughout today, tomorrow and the weekend. I have to go to the mountains. It just has to happen.
I don't know what to say other than I have to go to the mountains. Here's something else that I noticed. We talked about it a few weeks ago. There was this warming thing going on and your tulips started popping out of the ground. They're way out. Are they? I looked yesterday. Have you looked? They're legitimately sprouting right now.
Crud. It's mid-fifties. I know, but it's also early February. Then it's going to be forties. I understand. The temps aren't.
There's a chance of some snow in early March, but that's it. That's crazy. That's going to change. I'm just telling you, it's like your tulips are going to be opening soon.
They're not all the way up, but they're way up. You're not ready. I'm not ready. You're not ready for spring? Well, I'm always ready for spring, but I don't want spring to come early February and then be done and then have nothing until my early summer.
I'm not planting the garden until mid-May or later. I overdid it. I cooked my garden and I did it wrong and I learned my lesson. What do you mean you cooked it? I planted too early and I lost too many items.
What did you lose them to? The cold. But if the weather is going to be nice, you could plant. I'm not planting. I'm not planting early.
Plant next week. No, I mean, yeah. You could.
No kidding. If I had a greenhouse, it would be unreal right now. It'd be 80 degrees in that thing. That's insane.
Yeah, pretty wild. But your tulips are, you've got to look when you get home. What am I supposed to do?
They're probably almost four inches tall. What are they ready for you to say to do? What can you do? They're going to do what they do. Nature finds a way. Oh my, finds a way. Yeah, you're going to have flowers in the front yard real soon. I'm not.
Which is awesome. I know I'm not terribly sad about it, but I also just don't want them to. They're going to freeze overnight. Exactly. That's what's going to happen.
Exactly. They're going to get stunted because of that. So anyway, I just wanted you to know they're super tall. They're so big. So big. They're also so confused.
Yes, they are. How about we start today's show? Let's. I woke up this morning asking more questions than I cared to have rolling around in my head. I just had one question. Why is this so early?
Just why? Just all the time, right? And not to like kick off the morning on a note. It's all sour and stuff, but it's like, it's Thursday and I've been doing this all week. It's been a long week. My alarms went off and I went, no, I just fell asleep. Yeah, I don't even understand for an hour. There is a lady who said, you know, back in the forties, it wasn't an easy time for people.
People were having a real rough go at it. And she said, what was the sleep routine for people in the forties? And so she said, I'm going to follow the 1940s bedtime routine and see if it helps. Because back then people were like working for the war, right? Like it was a mess. Well, they had, they had felt like they had to go forage their own food.
Well, it seems that way, right? So here's the bedtime routine. It's a bath after work.
That's where it starts. But only five inches of water due to rationing at the time. So five inches of water, then slip into silky pajamas with a matching robe and slippers.
Brush your hair 100 times before bed. That was the norm at the time. Right. Then wrap up by dimming the lights, snuggling under a cozy blanket and easing into a slow wind down. Spent this lady spent a little time knitting, maybe flipped through a good book and then would drift off by turning off the lamp and just that's it. What time though? It doesn't say times, but the whole routine is about being slow and cozy and completely screen free. And it turns out to be a game changer to help her sleep.
So that's something I think is interesting. A nice, I see I'm not a bath guy, but a five minute shower. I'm not taking a bath in five inches of water. Why? Forget that because I'm going for more.
No. Five inches is decent. I understand you fill the tub to the brim.
I know. This is why there's never hot water for anybody else after you take a bath. You got to get it level with the edge just to be risky. I always ask. Does anybody going to be taking a shower tonight? I know. But you like it all the way. Yeah, it has to be because that's the way it's warm. But five inches is warm. No. How much is five inches? It's decent. Oh, look, I got my. Yeah, you have a tape measure on your key.
Five inches is not deep. Are you crazy? Yeah, it's that.
I know. No. That's enough for you to sit in. No, it isn't. That's not enough.
How. OK, keep your tape measure out. How much water do you need? I mean, how deep is the tub?
That's not the question I asked. That's too much water. That's over a foot of water. Yeah. That's too much. No.
Yeah. It is over a foot of water. It's like 15 inches. That's insane.
No. It's too much water. Hey, I don't have to be rationing it right now. We should. No one told me to. I'm telling you to. I don't do it every day either. Why are you coming at me? Funny.
Five inches of water. Let's do it. And then we'll start limiting squares of teepee as well, because that needs to be rationed.
And everyone should have a limited quantity. Well, let's start the wind down process today. Yeah. I think the wind down is the important part, right? And then the completely screen free part, I think is important. I agree. And that might help a little bit. So maybe we could put on some 40s music. Why?
There's got to be some relaxing jazz. No. No. I don't want it.
It just has to be. Here's some good news. And I'm trying to decide which story to talk about. You know what I'll do is I'll save one for tomorrow. How about that? How about it?
All right. Let's start with the story about potatoes. In Berlin, that's in Germany, they have had a record harvest, which they're calling a potato flood. And it is resulting in free potatoes for almost everyone. Free potatoes.
I know. Free potatoes. A potato flood. Yeah. Which I think is the opposite of a potato famine, which also happened in Europe.
I think you're right. Not in Germany, but in Europe. The Germans are turning this potential waste disaster into a city-wide feast. A single farmer has found himself with a 4,000-ton surplus after a major sale fell through. A charity group called 4,000 Tonen stepped in to distribute the excess spuds to food banks, homeless shelters, soup kitchens, schools, kindergartens, churches, and zoos. Potatoes for everyone. Two whole semi-trucks.
It is. They sent two entire semi-trucks of potatoes to Ukraine. Like, they're sending potatoes everywhere. Residents have been showing up to over 170 distribution centers with everything from backpacks to wheelbarrows to haul off their share of potatoes.
And the timing is actually really perfect because the extra food will help a lot of people in need through the cold winter months in Germany. So, look at that. I like it.
Go get your potato. Surplus turned into good. Ain't that something? That is something. It's a potato-free fryer.
Potatoes for everyone. You bring the vessel. You can take it home. Yeah. Anything but a bushel.
You know how they do that? Like, anything but a backpack day at school. This is, you can have as many potatoes as you can put in anything but a bushel.
Yeah. Why not a bushel though? No baskets. Why?
Because it's just a fun game. We got all these potatoes. Be creative. Come bring something new. What would you bring? A cooler.
That's a good pick. It has wheels. A wheeled cooler. Yeah, yeah. Because I'm not carrying these spuds. Yeah. I'm gonna wheel them on home.
All right. What are you gonna make? What's the first thing you make with your- A potato jacket. What?
I don't, I, ah, you don't listen. I told you, there's a guy I watch on TikTok and he's from England. I thought you meant a coat. No, and he's from his, his handle is spud lad.
I do listen. I didn't know that's what it was called. He just makes baked potatoes. Yeah, with all kinds of stuff in them. Yeah.
Yeah, like beans, curries. I know. A lot of cheese. And I just watched.
I do listen. I didn't know it was called a potato jacket. But we had a whole conversation about the potato jacket. I don't remember that.
I know. That's fine. So that's what I would make with mine. What would you make with yours?
I don't know. Fries? You're okay.
No shame in the potato game. That's good news. I know you just told us a good story, a good news story, but this one is super cool. Okay.
And I just read it and I thought it was awesome. There's a guy from North Dakota. All right. Named Casey. And he just bought a house in Fargo. Okay.
All right. And contractors were redoing his floor, pouring, pulling up floorboards and doing different things. And they pulled up a floorboard with an old newspaper underneath it for padding. And there was a person on the cover of the newspaper. And Casey's like, wait a minute. It was his mom.
No way. It was an issue of the Fargo Forum from 1946. His mom was homecoming queen at the North Dakota State that year. Wow. And the paper covered it. It was on the front page.
He goes, finding it was like looking down and giving him a big thumbs up on the house you bought. So I suppose she's no longer with us. Yes. Okay. What a cool find. I know. Isn't that crazy? Wait a minute. Yeah. That'd be so weird.
What are you doing down there? That is super weird. Of all the people to find on the cover of a newspaper, it's weird to see his mom. Yeah. And I mean, it's small, right? Like, what's the population in Fargo?
Not many. Right? You don't think everyone's flock into Fargo to live there? No, I don't.
I do. There's hit shows about that place. There's actually quite a few people in Fargo. Yeah, I was going to say, I think it's a pretty big place. How many people? A lot more than I expected.
The metro population for Fargo, so Fargo proper and the cities nearby that rely on Fargo, it's over 262,000. Look at that. So the chances- That's unbelievable. I know.
So that story- Why are there so many people in Fargo? I expected it to be way smaller. Like maybe in the like 50 to 75. No way, man. I just told you there's two hit shows about it.
Wow. There's a movie in this series. No, I know, I know, but it doesn't mean there's a lot of people that live there. There's a lot of movies about little small towns.
That's fair. There's one about a small house on a prairie. Like there's shows about all kinds of things.
What's that one called? Little house on the prairie. Small house. I like small house. Yeah, small prairie home.
And the family that lives there. Anyway, I kind of want to pull up our floorboards and see what's underneath our floorboards. I kind of don't. You don't? No. Why?
Because I've been underneath the floor that I put down, and all there is is subfloor. Yeah, you're right. That's it. We never find anything cool, but we haven't checked in on the walls. Not checking in the walls. What do you think is in the walls?
Cool stuff. No. Insulation.
No, I'm telling you. The older gentleman that lived there before us, you found gold-sluicing stuff in the shed. And... Can we be clear that what I found was like mesh, a sheet of wire mesh, and a small little bottle. That's it. You make it sound like I found some sort of buried treasure.
No. Well, we haven't found the buried treasure yet. I'm still convinced that he's got something buried.
That's why I need a metal detector. That's it. Because that dude was into...
He was into fancy rocks. Yeah, we gotta... There's something in those walls.
I know it. There's nothing in the walls. You don't know. I'm not tearing into the walls. One of these days, we will.
Because you know what that means? I gotta repair the walls. There's nothing in the walls.
One of these days we'll find out. I don't want to tear into the walls to find your newspaper about your mom. It's not gonna... It's not gonna... That'd be weird.
Because she's never... No, I understand. ...Live tonight in Falls. Right.
That would be extra weird. No, we're not gonna find newspaper. We're gonna find something more valuable than that. We're gonna find gold, wads of cash.
I promise you. I don't know where you think we live. Our house was built in the 70s.
It's not that old. There's no treasures. There's no little nooks. I've been in the attic. There's no... I even went into the attic and went to a part of the attic I hadn't been into the last time I was up there.
And? Because I went, what if there's something tucked away and there's nothing? There's nothing to be found.
Are you sure you checked everything? Yep. Every nook and cranny?
Yep. You just found dead mice? No, but I found a bunch of like, de-con and stuff that I already knew was there. So, no.
I didn't find anything. Man, oh man. One of these days.
No, it's not one of these days. I've been everywhere. Now, when I get my metal detector. You're going to metal detect the house? You know there's like, screws and nails all over the place. You're not going to go tearing it? It's beeping!
I know there's something in these walls! Well, here's the thing. Wads of cash aren't going to be detected by a metal detector anyway.
Right. There's no wads of cash. That's why I got to go dig in the backyard.
Oh boy. Hey, back in the late 90s, early 2000s, you were in college. You had a computer, I assume. I did not have a personal computer. You did not?
I mean. I thought you had that one that you picked up for college. I did for the latter part. Okay.
But not the beginning part. Did you have a- 99,000, no. Do you have MSN messenger on that bad boy? In the computer lab at my dorms, yes. Do you have access to those computers still today? No.
Dang it! I don't have access to my old computer. I might have the hard drive from it still. So I might be able to maybe salvage something.
Apparently, if you have access to your old computer or the hard drive from it, you can get in there and you can pull out the XML file from your MSN messenger and you can bring all of those chats back to life. Why would you like to? I don't know. I don't know who I was talking to or what I was saying.
You're going to need several different things, but you take a copy of that XML file and then you can pull it into a text editor and you can read your old chats. No, thank you. No? I'll tell you why. Why? Because I kept journals in high school and the early part of my college life and I've kept them.
And recently, maybe like five or so years ago, I was like, oh my gosh, I'm going to read some of these journals. It's not great. It's just not great. And so I feel like if you go to those MSN chats, you're not going to. Oh, it's going to be.
It's going to be terrible. Who wants to read that stuff? Nobody. I don't know. I don't know. I'm hanging onto those journals. But you can.
I need to get rid of them. That, I think, is the interesting part, is that you could go back and this is why your parents back then were like, listen to me. Everything you use on a computer lives forever. Your MSN messenger chat logs from the late 90s and 2000s still exist and you can pull them up and you can read them. And it's not very hard as long as you have access to the old hard drive or your old computer.
If you still have that thing, fire it up. It's going to be slow. Give it some time. But that's kind of interesting.
I tried. I used to have a hotmail account back in 99, 2000. I had a hotmail. I had MSN.
Yahoo. I had it all. How I did a lot of communicating with my friends. There was a boy that I had a crush on that I would email back and forth. I tried maybe 10 years ago to see if I could log back into my hotmail. It's a good thing I couldn't because I just don't know if I would like to read those these days.
Well, a little slice of the past you can bring back if you really want to. I don't. Okay. Leave it there. Yeah, it's best. Leave it there. It's best to stay in my memory. Okay. I just want to hear the sounds of MSN messenger one more time. How's it go?
I don't know off the top of my head, but I'm sure I could go find it online. Yeah, you could. But there was something about when you'd log on and see who was online, you'd be like, no way.
Chat with this person right now. Did you have your own personal computer in 1990? Well, in 2000.
Yes. I know you were rich. I was going to a technical school. You had to have a computer. It was part of your requirements. Oh, really?
Yeah. I just had a computer lab. I had to share with lots of people because I was poor. Oh. Clicking around on eastidohanews.com, and I stumbled across a story about Butterburrs' Lickety Split in Pocatello. What's this? This is the small shop, the small Butterburrs that's on Yellowstone. It used to be that little deli.
Okay. Then they took over and they served delicious pastries with every meal. If you order it, it's so good.
I want one right now. Well, the sad news is though, you've got about eight days left to go visit that location. They're shutting it down. Oh, no.
I know. They will be permanently closing their Yellowstone Avenue location on February 13th. The main restaurant, they moved several years ago to the castle building on Cedar.
That was formerly Remos. They moved into that one. So the main restaurant is still there to the best of my knowledge, but the Lickety Split location will be closing.
They said we're downsizing and putting our full focus on our main restaurant. Do you remember Remos? Yeah, I do.
I do remember Remos. I had a date or two there. Did you? I did. It was like the place.
Oh, I get it. And it looked like a castle. And there was one in Idaho Falls and there was one in Pocatello. I never came to the one in Idaho Falls. I only went to the one in Pocatello. The one in Idaho Falls is now where you can go learn how to scuba dive. It's a completely different place.
It was a Mexican restaurant for a little while as well. But anyway, you have eight days left to go check out Butterbur's Lickety Split. You know how I know I'm old? When I go, remember when that was a field? Yeah. Uh-huh. I sure do.
Remember when the freeway was only two lanes? Yes. Yes, grandma. Let's go get you in a bed. Come on. We had to go dress shopping last night. Now, we went dress shopping last weekend because Emery has a dance coming up, so we had to go dress shopping for her. And then I have something that I need a fancy dress for.
So I went dress shopping for myself last night. Right. Now, here's the part. First of all, I hate trying on clothes. I hate it. I don't enjoy it. I don't like it. Taking my shoes off in a dressing room feels weird to me. It feels gross.
I don't like it. Leave your shoes on. And then you have to put your shoes back on.
Right. And if there are people there, they want to see what you look like, and you want to show people what you look like, but you don't want to come out of the dressing room if there's people around. And so then you have to poke your hat out the door. And a couple of times, I needed help zipping up my dress.
And I would poke my hat out and I'd go, Josh, you were nowhere to be found. Oh, well, because I was finding other things for you to try on. I was being helpful in other ways.
I was a mess. I don't like it. I don't enjoy it. What do you think about that big mirror at the end of the hall with all the angles? What do you like about that? Nothing. Nothing. Like nothing about it. Nothing. OK. Not a thing. No, I didn't enjoy trying on dresses last night. I didn't. And then here's the part. The kids went to the mall with us.
And then so you were just my go-to buddy of like, oh, that looks nice. Or let's try this. Right. I appreciate it. Thank you. Or you'd say, no, it's not that.
Right. That looks like a circus ringleader. It looked like a ringmaster. One of them you put on looked like the greatest showman.
That's what it was giving greatest showman. OK. I appreciate it. But it didn't look bad. I just wanted you to know that it looked like that. I get it. So then the kids finally come upstairs to the store that we were trying on clothes.
And they'd been there maybe two minutes and I go, yeah, I don't necessarily like any of these. I'll just go find something in my closet. I can make something work.
Right. And Emery says to me, and I go, what? You've been here for two minutes. I went shopping for you twice, my ad, for hours at a time. I don't think she was frustrated that you were taking long or anything like that. I think she was frustrated that you were saying that none of the things looked OK. And so you were just going to give up on trying on something and finding something new. And then she was frustrated because she's like, you've got to quit beating yourself up all the time.
She was she was on your team, but it presented poorly. And I'm on the sidelines of this going like, I know why you're making these noises. And then I see your face getting frustrated because you're like, this teenage daughter I got to deal with this whole thing. And I'm like, I don't even know what to say or do. And so I just stood there because I went, I don't know.
This is crazy. Two of you are not on the same wavelength. She's being supportive in a teenage way by going, just keep trying. But she doesn't say that. She just says the part. Yeah. Yeah. And that was hurtful.
Because of how it was interpreted. And I said, right. Well, what am I supposed to do when nothing looks good? And she goes, why are you yelling at me right now? This is all in the middle of the store, by the way.
And I'm standing there going, this is cool. You guys aren't speaking the same language. But we do a lot of the time. I would say 90% of the time, she and I are on the same team. We speak the same language. But that 10% of the time when we do not, it is really dull. But there's no talking sense to either of you. I can't jump in and go, listen, what you're saying is not what you're hearing. And so I just stay out of it. Why?
You've never tried to jump in. Because it's already a tornado. There's no reason for me to start throwing more wind.
No use. No. If you had stepped in, I would have been.
Yeah. You both would have ganged up on me and said, get out of here. And I'd be like, I'm not dealing with this. So I just stood there. And then we went home.
We ate dinner very quietly. We went our separate ways. We all cooled down a little bit. And then everything was fine.
We said good night. She apologized. I apologized. It was all good. For misunderstanding. Things are fine.
Or what did you apologize for? That's between she and I. All right.
Sounds good. See, I'll just A, B, C my way out of this one. Nolky-doke. Long story short, you found half a dress. You found a skirt. That's really cool.
I really like the skirt. He's trying to figure out the top now. Yeah.
Yeah. I hate trying on clothes. You got to go back.
You don't have a top. I saw this video of a guy yesterday. Well, it was a woman taking a video of her husband and he was wearing a pair of pajama pants.
And the sides of them were completely just shattered, like just destroyed. And she was like, can you please throw those pajama pants away? And he said, they're the comfy ones. No, these are my favorite.
Right. And she goes, look at how demolished they are. And he goes, they're still fine. They're still hanging on by a thread. They're still my favorite pair of pajama pants.
Yeah. And then I got me thinking about like, when we have our favorite stuff, how we're so hesitant to throw it away. I have a shirt. It's now my night shirt, but I used to wear it all the time. It's got holes in it. I'll never throw it away. Do I know which one?
Yeah. I don't wear it that often anymore, but it's got holes in it. It's not nearly as destroyed as his pajama pants. I have a jacket that I like a lot.
The black one that's got that band on the front of it. And it's all full of holes and beat up. But it's cool. I've had it.
I've had the coat for a while, and then I just added the vinyl to it a couple of years ago. And I like it. Yeah. You could get a new one. I could. But I have that one.
And it's fine. It has some holes in it. You had a pair of pants that had the back pocket completely blown out. Well, the pocket was ripped off.
The pants were fine, other than the back left pocket was ripped off. That's what I just said. You said it was blown out. The back pocket was blown out. That sounds like you could see under the pants.
You can't. The pants are fine. There's no blow out. Everything's fine. The pocket's just missing. The pants are just fine.
Sorry. And if I tore off the other back pocket, they'd be balanced. And then our daughter would really hate them.
Sorry. I don't know why she gets really worried about other people's opinion when I wear those pants. She's like, we're not going anywhere with you in those pants.
You have to go change. And I'm like, these pants are fine. These pants look great.
They fit nice. They're just missing the left pocket. It got torn off. But why do we hang on to stuff? Like, why am I still hanging onto that shirt that's got holes all over it?
I don't know. It's just- I don't even know what shirt you're talking about. It's fine. Don't worry about it. Okay.
I won't. I actually had a pair of pants that I just threw away the other day because I was like, yeah, I can't wear these. They were getting a little bit threadbare in parts where they shouldn't be threadbare because I've worn them so much. And I was like, I can't risk this.
Every time I wore them, I'd be like- You're worried about them having a blowout. Yeah. Right. Got it. So I finally just said, I got a part ways, man.
See ya. Did you just toss them? Yeah.
Well, we have like a, in the front living room right now, we've got some bins that we're trying to get to the Goodwill. I keep forgetting about them. Yeah, do you?
They're right in the middle of the room. That's kind of sad. Like it's something I could do. I just keep walking past them.
Yeah, same. They've become part of the living room. So the pants ended up in that for some reason. I was like, no, no one's going to want these. I don't know how they ended. I must have just subconsciously put them in there as like a, I think I probably had a pile of stuff and I was like, these go to the Goodwill. These go in the garbage. So when I walked by again, I saw them in the Goodwill pile and I went, no, oh, just say goodbye. And I did. Oh, I actually really liked those pants.
So it was sad. I like my pants that are missing a pocket. You can still wear them. Oh, I will. Okay.
Because they're nice. What about the other ones? I should probably get rid of those. Which ones?
The ones that have all the holes in the knees and stuff. Oh, those are fine. Oh, are they?
I don't know. I don't know what pants you're talking about. Or I could turn them into cutoffs. That's always a hot look. I have one pair in the drawer right now. Your daughter really hates that.
I like to put those on and then I'll wear like a sandals, some sort of water shoe. It's such a good one. Gross. I have those Vibrams five fingers, the toe shoes. Yeah. She put some of those on. I've got the black suede ones.
I'm going to do that. For a dressier look. Yeah, when you want to dress up a little bit, you put on the black suede toe shoes. I need to wear those to work because I know Victor down the hall hates them. And I want to like bring them and then have to have a meeting with them and put my feet up on his desk with my toe shoes on.
I know. I have two pair of those. A hiking pair and a casual black suede. Have you ever hiked in them? I've gone on walks in them. I have not hiked in them though.
I don't know. I use them as my camp shoe because they're nice, lightweight. So I take them in my backpack when I go backpacking so I have a shoe to walk around camp in. I feel like if I ever go out a pair of those, my toes wouldn't fit.
They do. You should try them on. Like I know they're going to be too big, but you could put your... Tightly little toes.
I know. They'll fit in there. Give it a shot. You ever have those socks with the toes? Did you like that? No. Why? Because I don't. Because you don't like things between your toes? Because your toes are friends? My toes don't separate. They're just one big toe and four... Oh, is that right? Four friends.
Four friends. They don't separate. They are inseparable.
They're best friends, you could say. Oh, is that right? Yeah.
Do you ever use the little toe separator thing when you paint your toes? No. Why? Because.
Because they're friends. Yeah, they don't separate. Do you have that one that hides underneath his other buddy? Yeah, my pinky. Have you... Oh, you're... Like I've seen where people have that, I guess, ring finger toe that's underneath and they'll paint a toenail on top and then when they pull it out, there's actually a real toenail under there. Have you seen that?
That's a fun time. Like because they're buds. They don't separate.
They lay like that. So I'll just paint a fake toenail on that one. Yeah, I have two toes. My big toe. And the rest.
And the rest. Now, it's well known that Catherine O'Hara has passed away. If that is not news to you, if that is new news, then I'm welcome to Out From Under the Rock.
Good to see you. That was sad news. I know. I know. The Westminster Dog Show just happened. Did they tribute her? Hold on.
Settle down. Penny the Doberman Pinscher won Best in Show at the Westminster Dog Show. No, Catherine O'Hara won Best in Show. There was an unexpected Catherine O'Hara tribute that happened. I love it. When the Norwich Terrier was announced.
Oh, because God loves a terrier. That's right. That is correct.
Yeah, because it is well known that Catherine played Cookie Fleck who enters her Norwich Terrier winky into the Mayflower Kennel Club Dog Show. And it's fantastic. If you haven't seen Best in Show. If you have never seen Best in Show, that is. It's so good. Well, it's one of my top three movies of all time. Yeah, it's fantastic. And it's my favorite Catherine O'Hara movie.
So go check it out if you haven't seen it. So they played a tribute. It was short, but they did pay a tribute to Catherine O'Hara.
True legend, timeless talent and icon. And they played a couple of clips and some audio. The quote was, I would like to stand up here and tell you this was all just a walk in the cake, but it wasn't.
Big dreams come true only to those who do not sleep on the job is the audio. It's very, very nice. One person said this is priceless. And I bet it would be one of her favorite tributes. So well done Westminster Dog Show for honoring Catherine O'Hara. That's awesome. So good. Yeah.
Of course they had to. But honestly, if you haven't seen Best in Show, you have homework. If you haven't seen Best in Show, what are you doing?
You have homework. It's the best. In Show. I've been watching a bunch of videos. Well, here's the problem.
You see one video, you watch the whole thing and then your algorithm goes, oh, you liked that. Here's a bunch more. There's tons of it. So I watched one video of a woman redoing her bathroom. And now I'm just getting videos of people redoing their bathroom. Now, I know the bathroom has been on my list to do for a very long time.
But now I'm like, oh, I really want to do it now. Do you want to redo the bathroom? Oh, I don't. Why? I'll just do it myself then. I just, I want a weekend.
That's all. I'm not saying we have to do it this weekend. No, I'm not saying, we got other stuff going this weekend.
Yeah, I can do it this weekend. I know. But then I'll have a free weekend and you're like, let's do the bathroom. And I'm like, but other things exist like not that.
I know. What do you want to do to it? Where should I begin? The floor, the paint, the vanity. The new toilet. New toilet or toilet seat? All new. All new? Yeah.
What's the problem? Have you ever replaced a toilet? No, but I've watched people do it. It's awful. I know it is. You want me to have to deal with that wax ring thing? No. You're going to do it yourself?
No. That toilet stays put. Okay, fine. So just paint. It's got to come off to do the floor and it's awful. I know. I don't want to deal with that.
So if it's already off, then just put a new one back. All right. Okay, go on. What else? New vanity. Yeah. It's a small bathroom.
I know it is. What else? That's it. Just the whole room.
Yeah. Some paint on the ceiling, maybe, because that's gross. Josh, why are you getting your rub in your forehead? I haven't even started anything. It took us two years to paint the basement.
Here's what happened. We moved into our house and then it was like project, project, project, project. Yeah, you got to make it your own.
Do your stuff. And then all projects halted. Yes. For years and years and years.
And then I built the fireplace and the bookshelves and the whole library thing and then eventually built the theater wall and the deck on the back. And it just goes on and on and on. I'm just tired.
I'm just tired. Just hire somebody. Okay, I will. I don't want to pay it. But just hire somebody because I don't want to do it. That's what hiring people's for.
Okay, fine, I will. I mean, you can do the paint. I don't want to figure out the floor. I don't want to do tile.
You don't want to figure out how to do tile? That's fine. I can do the paint.
I'll hire somebody to do the tile. And then that's it. That's all that needs to be done. The vanity's fine. Oh, keep the vanity. What vanity are you going to put in there? I don't know.
Because you got to get a vanity and a sink and a new faucet. Yeah. Are you going to change the mirror again? No. You're changing the light fixture above the mirror?
No. I just want a paint and tile and possibly a vanity. And maybe a new toilet and the ceiling. No, I just said no. Do you like the subway tiles in the bathroom or is that going?
Well, that's going to stay just because that is going to be way too expensive to replace. What kind of budget do you think I have? Zero. I know. That's why that's going to stay.
That's going to stay forever. What color? A dark blue. How dark?
You're going to kill the space. You're going to need more light. You're going to have to get one of those LED mirrors so that you can even see. It's a small space. You're going to paint a small space dark color, which is fine. I'm just saying it's going to make the space smaller. It's going to feel small. I get it. I get what you're saying.
You can elongate it if you do something on the ceiling that gives you. I just saw a video where she painted it and it was just a powder room and she painted that tiny bathroom dark blue. How dark?
It looked quite nice. I'll show you. Okay. On your phone because it's your algorithm is what I'm saying. I don't need it in my algorithm. Why? Just the fact that I'm talking about it to you, your algorithm is going to get it because... No way.
It will. She gave me the pink color leak. Nice. She gave me... Yeah. Are you going to turn that around so I can see it or is it...
I'm trying to find it. Settle down. You settled it.
Settle down. And she did a wallpaper. I kind of want to do a wallpaper.
I'm not mad about a big, bold wallpaper. Where would we put it though? Which wall? The big wall.
Okay. So that when you're looking in the mirror, you see it. See that blue? That was gray. It's blue.
Check it out. It's blue. So far, everything's just white. That's not blue. That's gray. That's blue.
Are you crazy? That's blue. The internet's going to have a heyday. What is it? Blue or gray? That is gray all day. It's blue. Yeah. Look up the name of the color. I am. Since she gave you the link to it, it's going to be something like gray.
What's it called? I'm looking. We're waiting. I don't want to say. Because it's called gray. It's gray all day. I'm telling you, here's the thing. You know that game where they match the hues?
You know that game? I don't think you're going to be very good at it. I think you need to take a color blind test. I'm not kidding. What?
There's some color thing. Like, I'm not, you got all offended. I'm not being, I'm not, I'm not being to offend you. I'm just telling you, you don't see colors the same way. You don't see color the same way. I saw gray and it's called? Wolf gray. Wolf gray.
All day. It is gray. Okay. I'll take a color blind test. I just, I think you, there's, and I don't think you have like typical like red, green, whatever. There's definitely some colors missing in your vision. I'm just telling you, don't be offended.
Put away your, how dare you say I can't see colors the right. Yeah. Yeah.
I'm just telling you. Who's to say the way that I see color is wrong. Maybe the way you're seeing color is wrong. Right.
Cause it's called Wolf blue. What? This is over.
We're done. There was a French street artist. Le cyclop is his name. Le cyclop? Yes. Le cyclop. Correct.
Okay. And he one night while everybody was asleep, he went and painted all the city. He pylons with Lego heads. Okay. Okay. What? Let me see. Okay.
It's the best. Oh, interesting. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. So the city has those, and they're basically to keep cars from going places. Cars aren't supposed to go. Is that their purpose? I mean, sure. Like they're like a little barrier post.
You see them outside of like the stores and the, this town has them all down the street. He painted different faces on every one. Of course he did. He's not going to paint the same Lego head. Lego heads are different.
They all have different. Where is this at? In France. Which has no real tie to Lego other than he saw that they looked like Lego heads and went nuts. Yeah.
The tops of them do look like Lego heads. Yeah. So he, yeah, well everybody's slept. He was like, yeah, I want to have some fun with this. And so he scattered him across the city and I like it. And I'm sure.
They're called ballards is the right word. Okay. Yes. It's a ballard. I didn't know what they were called.
I've been typing in parking pylon and anyway, they're called ballard. Okay. He painted them. Yes, he did. Here's the thing. He's probably going to get into a lot of trouble because.
Is he? I don't know because it is probably destruction of property. Right. Like he's going to get signed with that ticket, but look how fun. He turned something super ordinary and boring into something that's fun. Can you imagine the look on kids' faces when they see these?
Oh, it's probably really fun. Little Lego heads on everything. You know how many he painted? Like it's a lot. Like I'm looking at the picture. I mean, it runs down a whole street.
He spent hours doing this. I think it's awesome. I hope he doesn't get it. What is your phone doing? It's going crazy. It was on Instagram. I see. Anyway, I think it's fun.
I hope he doesn't get in trouble for doing it because I think it's adorable. And I think it absolutely turns something boring into something super duper fun. Right. I agree.
It's really. He probably should have gotten permission to do it first. Yeah, but sometimes that's not how street art works. So rebellious. Yeah. Typically. Is that the definition of street art?
Just rebellion. I mean, he probably did a dozen heads. It's pretty. And they're all different. They all have different faces.
Yes, they do. There's the angry one. There's the pirate one. There's the happy one.
There's the winky one. What are these? Did you know all there are places around the world that turn their ballards into art? Like where are these at? I don't even know where these are. Children walking to and from the primary school were endangered by vehicle road traffic.
The street had no sidewalks, only a row of metal traffic boards. So the council took the ballards and they made them look like children and they put like they're all over the place. They've got these. Yeah, because then, you know, if somebody smashes into them, they're going to damage their car a lot. Don't make them look like children. Make them look like Lego heads. Well, but they're like full on sculptures of people. Like they made them that way. People have gotten really artistic with their with their ballards. Actually, I'm pretty impressed. But you don't know where you don't know where the children ballards are.
Oh, stand by. I'm trying to think if they're like Kester city. These ones look like minions. Somebody painted up to look like minions. I saw that people are pretty crafty. I'm trying to think where we have some in our town. Can you think?
I don't know. Like in Salt Lake, they have them all over the place. They're like every corner in Salt Lake. They're so boring. They look like they look like black hitching posts.
Yeah, boring. I'd have to look around. I know they're in front of all the grocery stores. But they have the plastic covers on them. You know, they have them at the arena. They have them there. Again, it's to keep cars from going where cars shouldn't be. No, no, no, no. I get the purpose of that.
So anywhere there's cars and where people walk, there's potentially ballards. Make them fun. Make them fun.
Come on. Shape them like children. No, I don't like that idea. You haven't seen them. You could make them look fun. You could make them look like a Lego hat. On a foggy day, the ones that look like children would be terrifying.
I know. I mean, I guess it would keep you from hitting the kids. Yeah, don't hit the kids. They could be a parking lot.
You just don't know. What was the first cool song that you heard when you were a kid? The sign from A.C .E.B .A.C .E. Does that count? No, no.
That was pretty cool. No. What about?
Okay. I had a sister. My older sister was seven years older than me.
She's very old. Here we go. Yeah. But she and my cousin, who was the same age as her, were super cool. All of us cousins, when we got together, they were the older of the cousins.
Sure thing. We were like, they are so cool. In the 80s, when I was just a kid, and they had their big hair and their makeup, we were like, oh my gosh, they're so cool. Yeah.
And my cousin drove a CRX. Very cool. It was very cool.
Yeah. And they, so they could drive and they would blast music and we were like, man, those guys are so cool. And I remember, my sister was a huge Prince fan. And I remember listening, it still is. You turn on a Prince song, she becomes another human.
It's bizarre. But I remember borrowing her Madonna cassette once. You know what I found out last night? What? And I'm a little upset about it because I know where it probably is.
What? I'm missing a CD. Where is it? I think I've been missing it for decades.
Where is it? I think my sister has it. Because it's the one she always used to steal from my collection and it's missing. I have the vinyl and I was playing some vinyl and stuff and I was looking at my CD rack and I was like, oh yeah. And I pulled that one out and the CD's gone.
And I went, what? Just the CD is missing? Not the case? I have the case. There is no CD in the case. That's shocking.
It's a blind record and I, well my CD and that's the one she always used to take and it is not in there. Shocking. I know. But it's weird that she would just have the CD and not the case.
That's what she always took was just the CD. To make it appear. Because then she would be caught. I think it's probably still in her bedroom at our old house. It's a smart little sister move.
Yeah, so I stole my sister's Madonna tape once. And that was cool? It was cool. I remember the first time I heard in excess.
That was pretty good. And I grew up around a lot of Tom Petty. I remember the first time that I heard Tusk from Fleetwood Man.
That was a really good song. I'm trying to think. These were all, because you are the oldest in your family. So these would have been songs that your parents listened to. Yeah, this is stuff my dad listened to. I don't know anything cool.
Marty Robbins and Elvis and. Not cool at all. No. Marty Robbins. I actually like Marty Robbins, but he's not what he would consider cool. I remember the, like my dad was a big like car stereo and home audio guy still is. And he had like one of the like bumping systems in his truck. And we, he was a big Fogarty guy.
Like CCR and Fogarty by himself. And so the first time I heard that center field song, man, that was big time. Cause it was on the big stereo and it was pretty cool. And you know, he was excited to show me that song and all the sounds and stuff in there. And then we're listening to who was it that had the talk box pretty early on can make their guitar talk.
Hmm. I think the song was like. Was it the guy from Bon Jovi? It was Peter Frampton. And it was do you feel like we do. Not the guy from Bon Jovi.
No, no different. He could make his, uh, Sambora. He could make his guitar talk. Sure thing.
Sure thing. Yo, well, it's could make their guitar talk. Marty Robbins.
Oh, is that right? Boy, it could make that thing sing a song. But he could sing a song about a white sport coat. He could make that weave a tapestry.
And a pink carnation. Yeah. True story. That's a cool song. Well, I actually really enjoyed listening to what my, but they were older.
So their songs were cool for them. Dr. Hook. That was a big one in your house. I love Dr. Hook. I love Dr. Hook. Get out of here.
My parents listen to the Dr. Hook all the time. Oh, you're so cool. I am cool. Yeah.
I am. Right. And then my brother came along.
Yeah. My brother is five years older than me and he came along. Super old. With his Metallica. Right. And I was like, what?
So I was like stealing Madonna from my sister and Prince. Right. And then from my brother, I'd be like, what kind of hard Rocky got? So I had a good balance. And when you say what kind of hard Rocky got, it wasn't always Metallica. Did he have other stuff? Oh, he had other stuff.
But Metallica was just... He had a dog named Ozzy. So I assume he had some Ozzy Osbourne. Yeah. He had some black Sabbath.
But Metallica was his number one. Yeah. Well. So I have a good, I have a good mix of stuff.
Sure thing. From my Prince and Dr. Hook and... Madonna and Metallica. Yeah.
And Elvis and Marty Robbins. Yeah. Like it all.
Sure. I think that's why I got a good... My playlist is full of all that weird stuff. Yeah. It's just so eclectic.
You remember the first time you heard the Scorpions? Would you rather this or that? Is it that already? It is that already. Okay.
Here we go. Would you rather win the argument or always be right, but never acknowledged for being right? Right. Win the argument or always be right, but never acknowledged. So that's what I am now.
And so I'd like to win the argument. Get out of town. Get out.
Please get out. Always be right, but never acknowledged. Yeah. I live that life. Look at your face.
That's such nonsense. And you know it is because you know that I, I tell you when you're right. What's that thing you post on the internet this morning? Josh. What is it? The colors.
Yes. And everyone is siding with you. I totally get it. I said it was blue. You said it was great. Everyone is saying it's great. It's fine.
It looks great, but in the video it looked blue. Okay. I'm just using this as a most current example. Cause you didn't want to reveal that it was called wolf gray in the, in the bit. Cause, but then I did, didn't I? Very reluctantly.
Well, I'm always reluctant to say that I was wrong, but I do it anyway. I know. Yeah. So I guess take out the word never and say, but begrudgingly acknowledged. Whatever dude, whatever.
What are you picking? I'm not. Oh, this is your old thing. Would you rather this or that, when the argument or always be right, but never acknowledged. You know what I'm going to pick because you're going to pick when the argument.
No. Because you would, you couldn't stand to not be acknowledged. Yeah, that is what I'm going to pick.
If you, if you are right about something or if you are wrong about something and there's a disagreement about it and you don't get some sort of closure, you would lose your mind. I would. Yeah. I don't like, yeah. I don't like when I tell a joke.
Right. And then people don't hear me and then you tell a joke, the same joke. And they go, that was hilarious, Josh. And I go, thank you.
Oh, I don't like that. I go, that was my joke. I don't take credit.
I'll go, she said it. But that happens with other people and they do take credit. I don't. It's not my joke. You better acknowledge me when that's my funny joke. Right. You better acknowledge me when I'm right.
Two, three, four. So there is a big football game on Sunday. I don't know if you know, if you heard about it. No, I don't care about it. A couple of teams playing for a big championship. Who cares about either of these teams?
Okay. So you're in that side of the, of the world, I guess, the Seahawks and the Patriots going to the big dance, doing the big game on Sunday. The Seahawks are a four and a half point favorite to win, which is, you know, good. If you ask a bunch of people, they'll tell you, I just hope for a good game.
I'm just hoping it's a good game. Okay. Great. Last year, you remember what happened?
No, the chiefs lost to the Eagles. Okay. I was like, I'm trying to even remember who played last year. Yep. That's right. I do remember. I remember when the chiefs lost.
That was good. And, and there have been several big blowouts through the years. So I wanted to give you some exciting ones. Let's go back in time here.
Super Bowl 24. We're at 60, by the way. Okay. 59, 60. Yeah, it's 60. I think it's 60. No, I think it doesn't matter.
Keep going. LIX, whatever number that is. I think that's 59. I don't know what L is. 50.
And then I X is nine. Okay. So I think so. Okay. Okay. Doesn't matter.
24. Super Bowl 24, 1989, the 49ers won 55 to the Broncos 10. Oh, that's a blowout. Super Bowl 12, 1977, the Cowboys won 27 to the Broncos 10. Oh, Broncos.
What's going on guys? 1973, Super Bowl eight, the Dolphins won. Dolphins?
That's right. Miami Dolphins won 24 to the Vikings seven. Vikings? Super Bowl 35. That was in 2000. It was the Ravens and the Giants. The Ravens won 34 to seven. You know why? Because Ravens are awesome. Okay.
All right. 1971, it was Super Bowl six. The Cowboys beat the Dolphins 24 to three. Talk about a blowout. It's a blowout. Talk about a blowout.
Talk about a blowout. Super Bowl 48, 2013, the Seahawks won. 43 to the Broncos. 43 to eight.
Did you show up to play at all? What's interesting to me is that the Broncos are like three of the biggest blowout Super Bowl against the 49ers, the Cowboys and the Seahawks in 2013. So we'll see what happens on Sunday as the Seahawks return.
And the Patriots are there as well. We'll see what happens. Who are you rooting for? I would like to see the Seahawks win. Yeah, me too.
Just because I don't like the Patriots. Well, there you go. Thiao.
Thiao. And that's what I know about that. So shall we close out the show then?
Yeah, I think so. How would you like to wrap things up? I think, I guess, just an audio. Okay, audio. See you tomorrow. Thank you.
