Full show transcript:
What's up? Here's the big news. Let's hear it. With Artemis II. Today is the day they will circumvent the moon. And apparently you're going to be able to watch this on Netflix.
I saw that they were going to do this. I think it's cool.
This is kind of the big dance. They are going to stream Artemis II's Lunar Flyby on Netflix. This will be happening. I want to say this afternoon. So they will be navigating the far side of the moon today at around 11 o'clock this morning. The astronauts will offer real-time assessment of what they see and experience.
And it will all be broadcast live on Netflix. So you can watch them fly by the dark side of the moon. And they will lose communication with the earth for about 40 minutes or so. So I'm really curious how they're going to stream that to Netflix if they don't have communication with the earth. I'm lost on how that all works. Whatever though, it's happening.
I'm excited to watch it. I'm excited to see. We were watching a little bit of it last night. They were what, 14 hours away from the moon?
No. I didn't see time. Maybe a mile. Let me look where they are right now and then I can tell you.
They are. It's like 1400 miles away from the moon last night?
Yeah, maybe 40, maybe 4,000 something. But they were cruising though. Okay, gotcha. They are cruising quick. They're getting closer and closer to the moon. The live feed is really interesting as they approach the moon. It's really fascinating. And then there's a little dot further out that's moving across the view. What could that be? What is it? Interesting.
Interesting. I don't know. Anyway, today's the day. They go behind the moon, which is why, oh, there's all kinds of dust particles flying around. That's what's going on. There's all kinds of space dust. Oh, space garbage. Yeah.
It's tiny though, little fragments of things. Anyway, yeah, they're cruising. They will go behind the moon today and then they return, they begin their return to Earth. After they go around, they swing shot back to Earth.
Good luck.
Save travels, everyone. I'm excited. So cool. Here's today's show. We are back from an action packed, crazy hectic, shuffling around, traveling weekend. Not really. It was pretty laid back. What'd you say? Yeah. I mean, we traveled. Yeah. And there was some action. Okay. It was chill and relaxed and fun. Yeah.
High impact. No. Super intense. No.
Edge of your seat. No. Yes.
Did you have a different weekend than me? I think so.
But you were there. Yeah. I kept seeing you around. That's right. We had different weekends.
Yes. Action packed. Intense.
Risky. I mean, I did fall down the stairs. That's risky. I wasn't around for that. Emery was behind me. She broke my fall a little bit.
How did you break your fall from behind you? Because you fell backwards with your feet.
My foot flipped and I went, whee. I see. You didn't fall forward. Correct. It could have been worse. I could have been worse. Onto the concrete. That would have been very bad.
You would have skinned your knees for sure. Were you carrying something? Can't remember. Face to the floor. That's what will happen.
So yeah, that was high impact and risky and action packed.
See, I knew it. Edge of the stair. Yeah. Well, anyway, hi. Hello. Welcome back. Welcome back to you. It's Monday. Yes. What else do we know about it? What else do we know about it? Well, I know it's officially the observance of the Easter celebrations. Easter Monday. We should have a day off. I know. In the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and much of Europe, it is an official public holiday.
I agreed. We should get the day off. We don't. I got sunburned.
I know that. Yes, because of all the action. There was action.
The sun. And I think that's about it. I ate a lot of candy. I shouldn't have.
I didn't have.
I know.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, whoa. I wasn't, wasn't being judgmental. Sounded like it. This is, what do they call it? A safe space? No. Well, yeah, but what did the kids call it? No judgment free zone.
Felt a little judgy.
No way. There's a no judgment free zone. It felt a little judgy. I don't think so.
You did better than I did. For sure. You don't need to rub it in my face.
All I was saying when you said that you ate a bunch of sweets and candies and stuff was that I didn't. That's all I was saying. Okay. I didn't say, yeah, you did.
I did. Yeah. I admitted it.
Okay. Well, hey, good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. We're back. You ready to do this thing? Back to have it again. Here we go. All right. Some good news for you. Have you heard of the teddy bear doctor? Yes. You have? Yeah. Ruth?
I heard of, okay. No, sorry. I've heard of like teddy bear clinics.
I thought you were talking about that. Well, sort of. So Ruth Hasman is in British Columbia in Vancouver. Okay. And she has dedicated her retirement to repairing stuffed animals sent to her by children. And she is known as the teddy bear doctor. Cute.
Yeah. So she uses her stitching superpowers for everything from delicate fur grafts and limb reattachments to full voice box transplants on hundreds of beloved stuffed animals. Some of the stuffed animals are new.
Others are heirlooms that have been passed down through five or more generations. That's pretty incredible. And she refuses to give up on a toy, even visiting local thrift shops to find the perfect fabric to get things fixed properly. Cute. Yeah.
I think it's awesome. For Ruth, the real magic isn't the needlework. She says it's the stories that our human clients share about the comfort that these toys provide through decades of life. She's currently taking an apprentice to eventually take over, which I think is pretty special. That's great.
Ruth says she has no plans to retire her needle anytime soon because these well worn bears continue to pull at her heart. I think it's a very cool story. Way to go, Ruth. Yeah. Ruth Hasman, the teddy bear doctor in British Columbia. Way to go.
Our son had a monster one time that had to go to the teddy bear clinic. That's right. His name was Lumpy. Yes. He had to get stitched. Yeah.
He needed a bandaid. He's still stitched. I think the bandaid healed up. He had a wrap on him, one arm, two. That's right. And like a cast wrap. He's doing good though. Wherever Lump is, he's in a box. He is in a keepsake box somewhere. But Lump is still around. Oh, Lumpy.
I missed that little monster stuffy. We'll go get him out and look at him. I just miss seeing him around the floor.
Yeah, I get that. I made that thing out of some scraps. That's why he's so lumpy. That's why he's so lumpy. Because he's made out of fabric scraps. Oh Lump. Anyway, good news. Well, the big news over the Easter weekend, at least from you, was this.
And I wish I would have recorded it, but I didn't have the means at the moment. But you said, we have babies. Whoa, whoa, whoa. What's up? I knew what you meant like pretty quickly. Oh, the baby eagles have arrived. That's right.
The yesterday morning at 8.30. Mm-hmm. Two, I think 8.32.
Oh, geez. What? I was just watching. I rolled back to about 6.05 last night. And there's one that's doing, you know, he hatched first, or she. This one eagle is rip-roaring ready to go.
The other one is still trying to get its head above the nest material. And at one point lifted head so violently it fell like clear backwards. It was quite the sight.
That was at about 6.05 last night. Anyway, yeah, it's happening. We've got baby eagles, which is really cool. So now there's like food arriving and nesting materials. I'm watching. Apparently, they caught another bird because they're just ripping the down feathers to make the nesting material. That's going to be a nice little cushy bed.
Sorry, bird. Thank you for your sacrifice.
It might be a duck. It's a duck. Sorry, duck. Yeah. Thank you. This nature, I tell you. Holy smokes.
I went back and watching it too. It's a couple of things are happening. Someone is feeding the babies while the other one is plucking feathers off the duck that they caught to make nesting material. Man, the animals. I know. The animals in Big Bear Valley are sacrificing for these baby eagles.
Good point. Also, the eagles caught a duck. That happened. Yeah. Have you seen their talents? Yeah. Yeah, I have. Yoinks. Yeah, they're crazy.
If you want to see the baby eagles, all you have to do is Big Bear Valley Eagle.
Eagle, live nest cam, one.
They're still slumbered in this morning.
So yeah, they'll be waking up soon though. Once the sun comes up in another hour or so, they'll be ready to go.
I did go back yesterday when we looked when they first hatched. There was one that looked like a baby rat because he didn't have any feathers.
But now. Look at him. Hold his head up. Oh boy, he's ready to eat. 608. It only took him a day. Big Eagle stuff, man. It's very exciting. They're super cute.
We have baby eagles. It's very cool. So good to see them. They have hatched. We have two eaglets in the nest in Big Bear Valley. And now we just get to watch more nature.
No, it's so cute. I just love it. Oh, they laid down. We have the babies. Babies are hatched. We were sitting there on Saturday. Somebody opened the foil on a bowl and you made this noise. Oh, and then you said, I have a thing for pasta salad.
I really, that's the thing about me. I've learned. I like pasta salads. Macaroni salad. Good. Whatever that chicken Asian pasta salad is. Good. Yeah, that's what it is. That spirally noodle one with the olives in it. Good.
What if it's a potato salad? That's not a pasta salad. I know it's not a pasta salad, but that's why I said what about potato salad?
It's an okay standby. But if there's a pasta salad, I'm getting that first. Potato salad's fine. It's whatever. Pasta salad is good.
I have a thing for pasta salad is what you said.
I do. Oops, I made a salad. Good.
We call that oops, I made a salad. Most people call it suddenly salad. They sell it in a box. By the brand name suddenly salad.
Yeah, but I call it oops, I made a salad because you put all this stuff into a bowl and then you go, oops, I made a salad. I meant to make something else, but now I have a salad. Okay.
Why do you like pasta salad so much?
I don't know, but I do. Okay. So.
And it doesn't matter the pasta. It doesn't matter the salad.
I think it probably does matter the pasta. Like I don't think I would like a lasagna pasta salad.
Okay. Well, they make like a pasta salad that has like pepperonis and stuff in it.
Yeah, that's that's not one of all of them.
But they don't use like lasagna noodles.
Are you saying? That's what I'm saying. Okay. I don't think I'd like a pasta salad that was big pieces of lasagna noodles. Gross.
Yeah, right? I'd be like, maybe it's not. I don't know. I haven't tried it. Maybe I would. I like pasta.
You got a thing for pasta salads. Good.
I'll tell you, not a meal, but I could fill up on it.
Okay. So you couldn't eat it for dinner. You couldn't just have a pasta salad.
I might accidentally do that. I might accidentally go, I eat too much of that salad. Now I'm full. It's probably not healthy.
My sister does make that good. It's got chicken and like spaghetti noodles and spinach. I don't know what else is in it. It's like sesame oil. I've actually tried to make it before and it doesn't turn out the way that she makes it. She does something real good with it.
Is it the love for pasta salad that she puts in it? It could be. It could be.
Because I don't love pasta salad. It's okay. Do you like that one? I love that one.
What about the pasta thing at Thanksgiving that your family makes? The noodles with the crackers and stuff. Yeah, I like that. That's another noodle dish I like. That one's kind of a hot noodle dish. It sure is.
I like a pasta. I get it. So does your daughter. Yes. She likes pasta. Passed it on, didn't I? She doesn't like pasta salad though. That's just a you.
Has she tried it? Like has she really given it a good go? I don't think so. I don't either.
You might have to share your love with her.
She needs to try all the pasta salads. What's that little kid viral video? Like a pasta. You know that? That's me. And then her mom's like, we don't have any pasta. She goes, pasta? That's me. I am that kid.
We played a spontaneous game of charades with my family over the weekend. And we were looking for examples on the internet, but they were all like face. Yeah, they were pretty lame. Yeah. And so I said, let's not do this. Look for like some pop culture ones. I got thriller by Michael Jackson.
And let me tell you, your thriller moves. Thank you. I'm impressed that anyone got it. I'm not going to lie because I don't know what it looked like you were. What's the move? You didn't do scare hands. You did like, like wavy hands on each side. That's a different dance. I don't know what dance that is. It's a, it's one of these. It's like a swoosh dance. You know, like you're shooting hoops swoosh.
Like womp. There it is.
Maybe I don't know what it is, but you were swoosh hands. Yeah. Not thriller hands. Oh, I'm so sorry. I just, I got guessed. Somebody got it. I know it was indeed guessed correctly. I also had that was something else. Slalom skiing. Yes. I gave you that downhill slalom. Yeah.
At one point I go, Josh, why aren't you guessing? You know what this is. Why aren't you guessing?
Because the reason I wasn't guessing was because whoever got it right had to go next. Yeah.
I figured that out pretty quick.
And I also figured out that your daughter was doing that same thing. I was pretty good at guessing them, but I just guessed them inside.
That's not any fun. I had a great time. My six year old great niece had gardening at one point.
Yeah. Planting a garden. Yeah. It was very difficult to decipher what she was trying to do, but she was throwing everything she had into that. At one point she had to eat a giant food. And I can't remember what it was, but it was hilarious because like that food is huge.
Was it ice cream? She had ice cream one time. Maybe it was a, I don't remember. She had to eat a giant food. She had one hand on her hip and she was eating her ice cream.
Oh, that was pretty great.
She put everything she had into that. I'm mad at you though.
Because I played the fun way that I liked. Yeah. That's why you're upset because I had a good time.
Because you didn't play with the rest of us.
I did. I gave you lots of suggestions on what to do. You did give lots of suggestions. I was engaged. I just didn't want to get up there and charade. So I didn't guess out loud. I went, oh, yep. That's exactly what I thought it was. Why didn't you want to charade? Because I was having a good time sitting and giving suggestions and watching everyone else charade. Josh.
You could have charaded with the rest of us and you would have been good at it.
I was just fine. Oh, Josh. What? Nothing. I'm a funny duddy. Yeah, kind of. That's the attitude you have. You're such a funny duddy. Sometimes. I was there and having a good time.
I don't want to force anyone to do something that they don't want to do. But I want everyone to play what everyone is playing.
I needed to listen. Listen, I needed to save my acting for this weekend. That's right. I need a little rest to prepare.
To prepare for your acting where you're just resting.
It's the best kind of acting where I am a deceased person laying in a bed. It's great. It's going to be great.
Well, we had fun. The people who charaded had a lot of fun.
I had a lot of fun being a part of it the way I was. All right. Suit yourself. That would be a good charade wouldn't it give out. Suit yourself. Not suture. Suit yourself.
How would you charade that? No one would ever get that.
You'd have to put on a suit and then go me. Suit me. Suit me. Suit yourself. I had a skunk at one time. I gave you that word. Yep. That was a good one. And then you forgot that you can't make sounds because you went. And I went, no noise.
That's not fair. You should have to make noise.
You can't. That's how charades works. I didn't go. I went like that. Right. My fault. Well, I'm a little upset. What? Well, March Madness has been going on.
And I've been really doing well this year, which, you know, every year I kind of feel like I do okay. Yeah. But this one I really was like, I feel like I have a good chance this year.
I really took off and I had really good upsets that I picked in round one and I felt confident. I was really like, you know, it's happening. Like I think it's coming together for me this year and I think I'm going to be able to do it. Uh-huh. And then. And then a lot of basketball happened that didn't go my way over the weekend. I was in first place. I say was because I am now in second place and I do not have what it takes to win the bracket contest this year. And so at our meeting this morning, I get to hand over the winnings and that's sad for me. I'm sorry.
Because I was so long time ago. I know you did. You picked Gonzaga to win it all. You are in eighth right now out of nine teams.
So you didn't get last. Who got last?
Poor Maddie. Who picked Ohio State to win it all because she likes their marching band. Yeah. She likes their marching band and she said, that means they have good team morale and I went, that's important. I don't think the marching band goes to the basketball games.
I don't know that, but I just don't think they do. So here's the real frustrating part for me is when I initially built my bracket, I had picked Connecticut, Yukon to go all the way. And I talked myself out of it because I looked at Duke's roster and I should have known Duke Chokes. That's what Duke does. Duke doesn't make it to the finals. But I said, not for a long time.
And I said to myself, this is the year. They've got a good roster. They've got a good thing going and they lost to Yukon 73 to 72 by the way.
73 to, okay.
They lost by one point to Yukon, which put Yukon in the final four. Yukon built, beat Illinois is now in the finals against Michigan, Michigan beat Arizona, which I needed Arizona to win and then I needed Arizona to lose in the finals. That was my path to victory.
Okay. Now I've got Yukon and Michigan in the finals that happened tonight. Tonight. Tonight. It's the final. Connecticut, Michigan. If Yukon wins, I'm going to be real upset. They are. Because I talked myself out of it.
I know they are. They're going to win. I know they are. And then. It's really frustrating. I'm not going to listen when you just complain and complain and complain about it.
It's all I do. I know. All I do is complain. Anyway. You got to stop playing these games. It was a winner take all pool. I got nothing.
So did I either. Did I.
Yeah, but you weren't like in first and tell this weekend. What we put in $5. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry, Josh. I know. I got to pay the guy. That's the bad news is now I have to pay somebody.
At least it's our. It's our boss. Yeah. It's Kevin. Right. I didn't want Jacob to win because he gets all gloaty. That's true. That is true.
Anyway, that's the big news. I lost. Same, buddy. I really had a path to victory, but it just didn't work out for me and I'm a little sad about it. Well, the world keeps spinning. It does. It does indeed. Easter egg. Okay. Try that again.
Okay. I had an idea that I was going to stick some Easter eggs on the dudes. Oh, the dads and the family and the dads were going to run and the kids were going to chase. That's right. But a better idea presented itself.
Well, I don't even know where you want to start with this whole conversation, but I found a new hobby. Yes. And I'm enjoying it. And as part of that hobby, there's an RC vehicle involved and the RC vehicle with an egg on it is almost faster than a group of kids. Oh yeah. And they wanted that egg.
They had a hard time finding that egg until you drove in front of them a couple of times with the egg. And then they went, Hey, there's an egg in there.
And then it was three people chasing it, three kids chasing pretty quick.
If they stepped in front of it, it would tip over and then it would stop moving.
That is correct. You learn how to catch the mouse eventually. And it didn't take long, but no, it was good. That was fun. Watching them chase around the RC egg was pretty good until they figured it out.
And then I was purposely once they stole an egg out of the RC car, I was like, let me go find more eggs. Put another egg in there. So then I would go find the hidden eggs and be like, I like watching this. I could watch them chasing RC car all day.
It was zipping around between their feet. It was great. It was a really good time.
Wear those children out. Yeah.
Good idea. It was clever. Now we did, you did mention that you wanted to tape some to some people. You ended up putting one in your hair in your ponytail. Yes. How'd that go?
I put one in my pocket too. It was kind of sticking out of my pocket. And so then I was running. I did run because she saw the one in my pocket and was like, there's one in your pocket. So I ran and then as I was running, she saw the one in my hair and I was like, you got to get it. Yeah.
Good luck. It's clear up here. You're down there. Yeah. Jump in front of you and tackle you like they did with the RC car to get the one out of your hair. No. How did they get it out?
She just said, I saw the one in your hair and I said, you got to get it. And she jumped a couple of times and then I felt sad and then I lowered it. So I was like, you're really working. You jumped a couple of times. You're really giving it your all. And if you find it, you get first dibs.
That's a good way of looking at it.
I will say that I was talking to one of the little kids. She opened all of her, some of the eggs had candy, some of them had money. She got a little sick. She got a lot of money. So she got a little sick of opening her eggs with money.
She said, I would never have that problem. Money again. Yeah. Yeah. Money again. You're welcome.
Good RC car idea, Josh. Yeah, worked out. That was a pretty good idea.
I had a good time. It was fun.
We'll talk about your new hobby later. Okay.
Why do you say it like that? Because, yoyoy.
So we talked last week about how my sister was going to be making Easter dinner. And I was like, what can I bring in? She said, don't worry about it. Just bring the fun.
Bring the games.
So I did. I brought the games. Right. And then my mom's birthday happened to be last week too. And so I said, oh, I'm going to, I'm going to make her a birthday dessert too. And we can celebrate her birthday. Right.
And then you had picked out a dessert that was like only the two of you were going to like, and there were more than just the two people at the event.
She likes pralines and caramel ice cream. And so I found a pralines and caramel dessert cake that you could make. Yeah.
And you taught me how to make in that. No, I just was saying that like, it's, yes, it's her birthday. So if you want to make something like that or get something special like that, that you know, she's going to be just nuts for awesome, but then you're going to need like a general mass appeal dessert as well. And that seemed like now I got to make a bunch of stuff.
Yeah. Right. And so then we get there on Saturday and my sister said, did you make mama dessert? And I said, no. I kind of forgot. Yeah. Because I kind of forgot about the games too. I was in charge of bringing some fun games to play outside.
Right. And it was a really busy week. And then Friday I was like, right, I got to figure out some games. And so I focused on the games, forgot about the dessert. Then nobody wanted to play the games.
And so I was like, well, cool. Spent all this time on games that nobody wants to play. Forgot the dessert for my mom. So what'd you bring to the party?
I don't know. Just you and your, and your fun attitude. That's what? Which was, how was that? I brought my appetite. Okay.
How do you feel? Do you feel like you contributed to the weekend?
No. You don't? No.
I mean, I cooked a breakfast. You helped by taking the orders and you wrote down what everybody wanted.
See, I did that.
And you carried them from where I was cooking to inside. Yeah. So you're kind of my sous chef sort of?
Uh-huh.
Not really because you weren't cooking, but mostly you were the order runner. I think everyone expects this of me though.
Expects what? Nothing. Oh. I don't think anybody is going like, I can't wait to see what Chantel brings.
I don't know that they aren't.
I think that they are used to disappointment from me. Whoa. So I think it's a, oh, Chantel forgot the dessert. Are you down on yourself? Kind of.
You should not. Why? You should be up. Hold yourself up. Give yourself big ups. Big ups. Okay.
I mean, I brought some fun, I think. Yeah. I participated with the kids. Oh, I'll tell you what I did. I helped with the littles when everybody was trying to cook and get their thing prepared.
I was like, come on, littles, let's do this thing. Which you love. I do love to do that. Right. So I did that. Look at you. Look at it.
Somebody's got to entertain those little kids. An idea. There you go.
Big ups. And then my sister made a dessert for my mom and all was well with the world. What dessert was that?
The cheesecake. Oh, okay. You didn't try? I didn't. It was so good.
Yeah. And I was actually sad yesterday because I said, oh, I forgot to get cheesecake. Cause she was just going to throw it away. And I was like, I would have brought that home. It was a coconut lime cheesecake. That not a lot of people loved, but I did.
Cause you love coconut. I do. And it had actual coconut in it, not just coconut flavoring. Yeah. See, that's where it lost me. It's a texture thing. You couldn't taste the coconut. I like the taste of coconut.
It's a, it's the texture thing. I don't like the texture of coconut. I like the flavor. It was delicious. All good with that. I'm not big on like key lime. How heavy was the lime?
Cause she's zested some lime. I'm not, I'm not heavy on the lime either. Like I'm not a fan of the lime. Yeah. But it was, it was a decent amount. She was going to add more to the top. And I said, no, don't.
It's already pretty lime filled. Yeah. Halt. Stop. It was good. And now she threw it away. Oh. Wasted. Cause she was like, I don't like this. And I was like, are you crazy? This is delicious. I was going to take the rest of it home.
That's a shame. Forgot. That's a shame. She could have sent it with your mom. It was her dessert. Did she even have some? I don't know. Did she know it was there? She was like, boy, I wish this was some sort of pre-leans cream ice cream. I know. Some sort of pecan thing I like. That'd be great. This lime's too tart.
Sorry, mom. A disappointment from your baby. Not just a baby.
There's anything I know about you. It's that you love math. Yep. But how do you get through math?
Calculator. Fingers, toes. Okay.
Let's stick with calculator. That's a more civilized way of going about things. As an adult. I want you to take a look at something. It is the Casio S100X.
S100X? That's right. Okay. It's currently out of stock.
It's listed at $350. It's a brand new calculator. That's right, folks. They've made a new calculator. We don't need a new calculator. This is the new Casio S100X premium luxury calculator. $350. And it's got a nice little cover.
It's got a little rubber sticky bottom so that it doesn't slide around. And it's sold out. But why? Because I guess they only made about 100 of them. Because you just never know how a calculator is going to sell in this economy. They sold out.
What makes it so special?
Look at it. It's premium.
Luxury. No, it just looks like a regular calculator. It's new. No. No. I'll just use the one on my phone.
It says that this turns what would normally be considered in a ubiquitous business tool into a head turning conversation piece.
No. Yes.
The keys on the S100X feature a slight concave surface to conform to the finger that will perform linear smooth keystrokes. It's new. It's premium. It's luxury. It's $350. It's sold out.
I don't think anybody needs this. Why? Because? Look at it. I did. I looked at it. It looks like a regular calculator.
It's stylish. It's premium. It's luxury.
It's new. You've said all of this, but get to the real point of this.
The real point. The real point is they made a new calculator and it's sold out for $350 each. I know. I don't understand.
It's new.
Stop. It's from Casio. It's a new Casio calculator.
It's not a Texas instrument.
That's right. It's not because it doesn't need to be. It's the S100X.
Why is this news?
Because they made a new calculator. Okay. And it's sold out. That's why it's news. It feels like news to me that there were enough people who were like, I could get my hands on that calculator.
I have not heard about this calculator until just now. That's right. When was the last time you bought a calculator? I don't know. We just threw away a bunch of calculators as we were deferring things. I get it. And I said, we don't need these calculators.
Listen, someone said it'll give you plus 10 intelligence points, but it will give you plus 100 aesthetic points because it's new and luxury premium.
It's just a basic calculator from what I can tell. So big whoop. I still have my... Here's the thing about it. How much is it? $350? Well, you can't even get it now.
Well, I know, but if you could, was it $350? That's what it says, yeah. Those people clearly don't know how to do math. Those people are... The people who bought that calculator are terrible at math.
Did you see it? Yes, stop. It looks pretty basic.
It looks like a basic calculator. It's basic. I know. It looks clean. I like that it's got a thin profile. They've made it look really, really cool. It's nice. It looks nice. It looks like it's made out of really good materials. The machining is very well done. It's a high-end produced product. If you love calculators, Man-O-Man is the S100X premium luxury calculator from Casio, the one for you at $350, but it's sold out. Too bad. Just use the one on your phone.
And there's the whole point, isn't it?
Do you want to talk about this new hobby? Let me start off and say that you didn't need another hobby.
That's what you said last night or the other day. You went, you don't need another hobby. You don't. Let's go through my hobbies. In order of priority that you think they are in my life. Fishing. That's such a good one. I love it.
Okay, so... But there's two hobbies that come with it. That's right. Fly fishing and then fly tying. Correct. Those are two separate hobbies. Yes. And then you have collecting truck parts.
Collecting truck parts? Yeah. What is that hobby? Like souping out your truck. Okay, but what have I done to it?
You haven't done anything to your tundra, your ditch lights.
Yeah, and my sliders. Those are the two things I've done.
When you had your Tacoma, you were certainly more into collecting truck parts.
I'm very into accessorizing my vehicle.
Okay, so that's a hobby. Yes. Right? Yes. Then you have, what else do you have? What else do you do?
Backpacking. Yeah, you do backpacking and hiking.
I have a lot of backpacking and hiking and camping stuff. Yes. Correct. I love it. I have, I don't do it like super often, but I do have a good collection of Frisbee golf discs. We all have a set.
Yeah, we don't do that very often.
But we, for a while, we were pretty into it. Geocaching speaks to my heart for a long time. I've been doing that since what, 2004.
You did some gold panning stuff.
I have gold panning gear. Yes.
You snowboard. Yeah. See, you've got some snowboarding stuff. Yeah. You, what else do you do?
Lots of music. You collect a lot of music. You do that. I've got plenty of media.
You got some video game stuff. Yep. You play video games sometimes. That's probably low on your list.
You're more of an outdoorsy. And unless I get really sucked into a game, but I'm, yeah, you're right. When it's nice outside, I want to be outside. Yeah. I don't like being stuck inside playing a video game when I could be outside exploring and playing in the dirt. Yeah.
So your new hobby, so that's 10.
That's a good amount. 10, like general hobbies, but really only a couple that like really consume some time.
Slash money. At any given time. Yeah. I mean, I think you switch it up.
Yeah. Like a variety. I also watercolor. Yes. And I, and I, in my art world, I do the watercolor, but I also got into, uh, some of the lino cut stuff, which is really fun. I like that.
I forgot about that one. Yeah. Yeah. You had that. There's some of that. I do some of that. I also do photography. I like photography. So I've got some photo and video gear. I forgot about that one too. So I've got, I've got a few. So now we're up to 12.
Yeah. Easy, easy. 12 easy hobbies, you know, no big deal. Gardening. Oh, that's a great one. That's one that I'm putting some effort into over the past year. Uh-huh. Yeah.
A little bit of bike riding.
Yes. Mountain biking. And motorcycle. That's right.
Look, I just am never bored. That's it.
So then we go to Burley this weekend to visit some family and my brother-in-law has a, I don't even know what it's called. Josh, go ahead and say.
A remote controlled rock crawler is what it is. It's an RC car that's made to crawl up rocks. So I got, he and, uh, and your nephew, our nephew, whatever, uh, at Christmas time had gotten these rock crawlers. And so we were playing around and it was, there were a lot of fun and I was like, man, these things are cool. So he was telling me all about them and where he got them and how much they are and stuff. And so I kind of built like a shopping list in my phone of like, maybe one day I'll get into this. And, and this is what it would kind of look like. And just to get started. And I was like, this is a lot of fun.
I could see myself getting into this space. Yeah. So he upgraded and he got him of a much more expensive nicer one. And he was like, I'm going to give you that one.
And I went, what? Like, are you for real? He's like, yeah. And he goes, I've done a couple of things to it and I've got some parts.
So I'm going to give you some parts and stuff. And I went, that's really awesome, man. So, uh, I went shopping a little bit. I got some parts coming this week. So it's kind of taken that assessorize my truck thing and making it miniature, which is far less expensive, by the way, far less expensive.
Yeah. Until you start buying pieces and pieces and pieces.
No, I know. I've got a list of other things that I need slash want to purchase for it.
Okay. So then to make it perform better. So then Saturday, we had Easter dinner on Saturday because people were going to in-laws in different places on Sunday. So we celebrated Easter on Saturday and then yesterday, it was just kind of adults. Yeah. Me and my sister and brother and lawn, Emery.
Right. And we were like, what are we going to do? And my sister was like, well, we thought about going to city of rocks.
And I was like, cool. Great idea. Let's go.
Yeah. Let's go do some hiking. And as we're getting ready to go, she's like, what kind of games do you want to bring? And I go, what?
Are you talking games? And she was like, yeah, what do you think we're going to do? And I go, I thought, I thought we were going to be doing some hiking and walking around. Like the last time we went to city of rocks and she said, no, the boys are taking their RC cars. Right. They're going to be rock climbing with their RC cars.
Rock crawling. Rock crawling.
What? I said that. You said rock climbing. I said rock crawling.
Rock climbing is a different hobby that I don't have all the gear for.
And I said, oh, cool.
I don't know how you miss the memo. I thought that was pretty clear.
No, it was not clear.
Because I was like, yes, let's go. This sounds awesome.
So you guys come back, we're playing some games. You guys come back and you're all out of breath and we're like, why are you guys out of breath? And you were like, yeah, I'm like, you're standing there pushing a controller. Why are you out of breath?
Because we were hiking all over the place. I probably hiked miles yesterday. I didn't even look.
I go, don't you feel like a dork? No. Don't you?
No. Yeah, I hiked four miles yesterday.
Good job. I thought we were all going to be hiking together. That's what my plan for the city of rocks was. I didn't know let's go to the city of rocks so the boys can rock crawl their RC cars. Right.
I took some pictures and video.
Wow. I know. I can't wait to see. I showed you already.
Oh, good. You weren't watching. So I'll show you.
This is probably my least favorite hobby of yours. Why is that? It feels kind of dorky.
Really? Yeah. I think it's pretty rad. It actually... It's challenging. You can't run the RC cars what I found out. You don't have a delicate touch.
No, I just want to go fast. You just gun it. I know. Like when you're driving. It's the same. Yeah. You got a finesse. When you're trying to climb stuff, you can't just gun it straight up. You'll never make it.
This is a patience. You got to map a different route. You've got to read the contours of the rock. Right. See, and his RC has got more capability than mine does because he's done some stuff to his that I haven't done to this one yet. Some of the parts that are coming are going to help me advance the capabilities of it. Can't wait.
Listen, I've got some dorky hobbies. It's not a hobby yet, but I want to mine... Not mine. Metal detect. Metal detect. I know. That's a dorky hobby.
You can do that while I'm driving around crawling up rocks. You know?
Congratulations on your new hobby. Thanks. I needed one. Okay, this is a question that I was asked yesterday. Emery asked me, the Easter Bunny Recycles? Oh, and I said, yes.
Yeah, that's, I mean, absolutely. That's an environmentally savvy...
Exactly. Bunny. Not this year, but prior years, the Easter Bunny has recycled baskets. Oh, of course. And then every year, the Easter Bunny has these little clips with the kids' names on them. It's a little bunny clip. That's cute. And every year, those make a return. It's great. And Emery said, she pulled her clip off and she said, the Easter Bunny Recycles? I said, yes.
100%. Put it in a pile. Fact. Come pick it up later. That's right. He always does. Genius.
I know. And environmentally savvy. Exactly. And I think that is... Yeah. I do too. Cost-effective. Same. Agreed. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. Agreed. Good job, Easter Bunny. Brontent's new vessel recycled. Sometimes.
Sometimes it's a new vessel. Sometimes. Sometimes it's recycled. How about that?
I've been doing it for years ever since I was a kid. I remember recycled basket.
Did you have recycled baskets too? Recycled basket. I can't remember if I had recycled baskets or not.
My recycled basket, by the way, had bunny feet. Wow. And ears hanging off of it. Looked like a bunny. Was white or blue. Can't remember. It was maybe... My sisters was white or pink.
Maybe started out white and then if it had been recycled throughout the years...
Maybe. Got a little bit gray. But they were furry rabbit feet and furry ears. Cute. Very much so. I don't remember my Easter basket. Yeah. Maybe it was not a recycled one every time.
The kids had a new Easter basket this year. But in years prior they've had... Recycled basket. Yep. Nothing wrong with that? No.
Did she accept the answer? Yeah.
What other choice did she have?
Well, I'm just asking. I mean, she asked. I didn't know her reaction. When she said that, that's what happens and you went, yep.
I don't think she's ever paid enough attention to be like... I see. I've seen this before. Yeah. Mostly the clip, right? Absolutely. She was like, I've seen this before. Yeah. I've seen this in prior years. Yeah. I didn't know that the Easter bunny recycled. Cost-effective.
Environmentally friendly. I think that's the big deal. Smart rabbit. Wise rabbit. That's the big deal. Wise rabbit.
High five, Easter bunny. Yeah. Way to go. See you next year.
Would you rather this or that?
Ooh, it's a fun one today. All right. Would you rather drive a fire truck or a race car? Wow. Wow. Where am I going?
This is a very important information. Not to an emergency. So I'm not going to a fire? No. Because what would I do in a race car if I was going to a fire? Am I in a race? Yes. What's everybody else driving?
Either race cars or fire trucks. You're in a race with a fire truck, with other race fire trucks, or you're in a race with a race car without the race cars. Just making sure. You're not going to an emergency. So you're just racing to race.
Is everybody racing the same kind of fire truck or do I have a special one? What kind of special one? Like one with a rocket. No.
Like a jet on the back. Just a regular. Just a normal fire truck. Regular fire trucks. Can I make it go whoop? Yep. Oh, man. That's the clincher.
Making noise. I can run the siren while I'm racing. It has added benefit. And if everybody else is racing the same thing, that would be a ridiculous race. They're big. They're quick once they get going on the straightaway, but I think they have to slow down to turn.
Oh yeah. They're too top heavy.
Yeah. A little bit. They're long. Can I be your passenger?
I was going to say can I be your passenger, but I also want to race, so I'm going to pick my own car to race. For a minute I thought it was just you racing, but I can drive my own. It's the 90s. I'm going to pick a race car.
You're going to race a race car in a car race. Yep. With other race cars. Yes. What kind of cars? Race cars. That's vague. What kind of race cars?
I don't know. What kind of race cars are there?
Stock cars like NASCAR? No. Not that. No. Do you want to do like the rally style? Like with the dirt trails? Yes. With some jumps? Yes. And all the people on the sides? Yep. You want to do that?
Yep. But I want to be in a race just by myself.
So that's sort of how rally works. Okay. So the way rally cross works is you have different heats. So you'll have different legs of the race. You're not necessarily on the track the same time as other cars are. It's more of a timed thing. Yes, that's what I want.
But I want to be the only one in the race because I want to win.
Right. That's not how races work. In my race it does. Yeah. No, I've played Mario Kart with you. I know. You win when you play by yourself. Oh. But when you play against me, what happens?
Are you kidding? Don't even know I'm mad. Look what you've done now. You picked race car. This is your own fault.
And then you said you wanted to race so that you could win, which I've seen. I've seen you want to win so bad and be so frustrated because Luigi's a better car driver than Yoshi.
Let's be clear that I beat you. You taught
me everything that I know. I've been in Mario Kart for so long. And then one day you were like, how do you get off the line so fast? Yeah.
And I taught you how to do that. And then you were like, how do you drift? And I taught you how to drift. So don't even say. Right. Well, how did I get better at it?
What happened? Did I practice more? I'll tell you what it is. It's the finesse. You can't just gun it. Sometimes you have to let off the gas.
Are you picking a fire truck or are you picking a race car?
I picked the fire truck because of the noise. Okay. Good luck to you. She'd rather listen to that.
Josh, you were taking to tell me about, oh no, you weren't. Sorry. That's on me. That's on me. Sorry about it. I thought that was your fault. It's mine. Okay. My apologies. What's going on? What's happening? Why are you apologizing?
I see because you thought I was going to do a thing here. I thought you were talking. But I do a thing later and you do a thing here. Is that why? Yeah. I see. Well, go ahead. What were you going to say?
I was going to say, I was reading a thing about house rules. Yeah.
Like things that are, okay, go ahead. I don't know where you're going. What were you going to say? I was just trying to figure out, like we had a chalkboard wall filled with house rules, but then I thought maybe you were talking about board games and then like house rules on board games can change. No. You're depending on where you play.
No, no, no, no, not that. It was mostly like you eat dinner and no phones at the table while you're eating dinner. House rules. I like that house rule. That doesn't, I don't enforce it. I just want everybody to know that that's the rule. I see. And there are two of us at the table that don't always follow that rule.
Why don't you follow your own rule?
Rongo, buddy. Okay. Rongo. All right. There is another rule that is kind of my rule. The living room and kitchen have to be clean before bed. Like blankets have to be put away.
Did you have to be put away? I don't like to wake up to a dirty house. That's my own house rule. There's another, somebody says I never get the mail on Friday.
Bad news comes in the mail and I don't want it to ruin my weekend. Okay. So I wait until Monday to get my mail. Interesting. Unless you order a package, maybe. Yeah.
Matter of fact, I got some packages coming. I checked some shipping info. Okay. House rules. Got to check my shipping. Okay. Sometimes at the table at dinner time. Never know when.
Never. Never know when it's going to hit. Never at the table at dinner time. All right. Somebody else says we go on a 10 minute walk after we eat dinner.
I like it. We've been doing that here and there and I really like it. There's a couple of reasons. Do you know why?
I do know why. It helps with better digestion. That's right. It helps with less bloat. That's right. And it helps your body use the carbs for energy.
That's right. You looked that up. It did. Yeah. It helps regulate your blood sugar right away, which is good and helps you digest your food better. Good house rule. Awesome. I love it. Go for a walk. Do you have any house rules? No. Not really. Okay. If you get it out, put it away where you got it. That's a good one.
That's just for whatever it is. I cook you clean.
You cook I clean. That's fine. But somebody that doesn't always follow that rule. Whoa. Why aren't you following your own rule?
If there are dishes to be washed, you do not wash them.
I wait for the dishwasher. Yeah, I know you will. But if there's a pan that can't go in the dishwasher, you're like, no, I'm going to just leave that there. I'm going to let it soak for a minute and then I'll do it. You have a different timeline than me because of your can't go to bed without the dishes being done rule.
Yeah, just do it right now.
Just get it done. I'm letting it soak a bit. It doesn't need to soak. You just grilled some chicken in there. No. Yes. That's not what I'd do. It'd be like a casserole dish that I would be like, there's all this hard baked on stuff on the edge and we'll let that sit a minute.
Just scrape it. Yeah, in a minute. After it's had a minute to soak with some soap and some hot water. But then I come back and you're washing it.
And then I go, what are you doing? I was going to wash that later. It's not your timeline. House rule is we're on Chantel's timeline. That's the house rule. Yeah.
Just everybody follow the house rule and we'll all be happy.
We'll all. Won't we? Yeah. Who's we? Because I feel like I'm not part of we.
That old saying. Yeah. Mom's unhappy. No one's happy. Yeah. Just wash the dishes. I was going to. Eventually. You didn't give me a chance. Take out the garbage.
I do. Often. Quite often, actually. House rules.
House rules. Okay. I'm going to make some new ones for you. I don't want more. I'm just going to enforce them. I think that's the kicker. What does that mean? Because I just kind of let everybody do whatever they want. But now I'm going to get mean.
That's going to make a great house. Everybody will be excited. Let's wrap up the show for today. Have a great rest of your Monday. We'll see you back here tomorrow.
Remember around 11 o'clock is coming up in just over an hour. That is when Artemis 2 is going to go behind the moon. If you want to watch that, that'll be happening. About 11 o'clock is when that live stream is supposed to kick off.
If you want to see it, today's the day Artemis 2 goes behind the moon. Yeah. It's cool. I'm excited.
I'm excited too. All right. Have a good day. We'll see you back here tomorrow. Good day. Good bye. Bye.
