Full show transcript:
Oh, I got something for you to start this show. Let's hear it. It's math. We're going to do some simple elementary math because this is blowing up on the internet.
And these are those things people post up there to see if you remember the order of operations. Two plus five, open parentheses, eight minus five, close parentheses. What is the correct answer?
You got to do the eight minus five, which is three. Correct. And then you do the two plus five. Nope. Oh, no, no, no, no. Then you, hold on. Then you times the three by five. Correct. So that's 15 and then add the two. Correct. That's 17 is your answer.
That is correct. Yeah, but you have to remember order of operations. And so what happens is people will do it like they're reading it from a book. So they'll go two plus five is seven, eight minus five is three, seven times three is 21 because they get multiplication and addition in the wrong order. So you were correct in starting with the parentheses. That is correct. Yeah, I can remember that. Yeah.
That's the P and Pymdus. And then you do exponents if you had any, which this doesn't. And then you would do your multiplication.
Exponent. Yep. Yeah.
I know. And then you do your multiplication, then you do your division and then you do your addition and end with your subtraction. So, but what's in the parentheses goes first, then your multiplication, then your addition in this instance. And you get 17, but it's, it's on the internet. People are outraged. They're like, no, it's 21. You're wrong.
The correct answer is 17. Yeah, for sure. But it's got a lot of, a lot of people. You see those posts come up and a lot of them are like, you know, a memory test of do you remember the order of operations? And then the other part of it is let's make everybody angry by putting math on the internet. Love it. You know, it's a good way to start the day with a good math problem.
I mean a good story problem.
You betcha. That really gets me going. You know the ones that I like that could, they don't come up that often anymore, but it was like, which bucket will fill up first?
And you had to follow the flow of the water to go, oh, that bucket will fill up first. I never commented because I don't care. I just did the puzzle. Yeah, same. It was like tracing Dennis the menace's little thing in the comic.
He traces little tale, a trail as he moved around. I never did that. Oh, well, I did. Back when I was reading the comics that you claim to have read when you go to comicbook.com.
Have you been to that website yet?
I did read the comics. I read Family Circle.
It's not a comic.
I know everybody. Everybody hated Family Circle, but I'll tell you what, my dad had an RV book. And it was, listen, listen, what was it? It was all about RVs.
Oh, I thought it was like an Atlas, like an RV Atlas. What is that? What is that? Oh, it's, so it's like a road Atlas. You've heard of that. An Atlas. Like maps. Yeah. Like highway maps. Yeah. But an RV Atlas also has all the RV parks labeled. Okay.
It was probably that. I can't remember exactly what it was. It was boring, except for the fact that every now and then on like random pages, they would have little inserts from the Family Circle about camping. And I liked looking through that and reading those inserts. The things you remember, huh?
I want to see if I can find those Family Circle magazine or Family Circus. Oh yeah. Family Circle was a catalog or something.
Family Circus. Family Circus. And they weren't necessarily funny, right? Like it just, it wasn't funny.
Motor coaching magazine, maybe?
Maybe. I don't know. I don't remember. Well, I don't know. I bet he still has it. He's a little bit of a hoarder. Let's go see. We can probably find it.
The Family Circus. Yeah. That's the one that I was talking about. It wasn't Dennis the Menace. It was in the Family Circus where you would get to chase the trail of the kid who bounced all over the whole yard. There's someone on the phone inside the house, but you can trace the way the kid had to go through all of the whole backyard and jump over the fence and go play baseball and make it back through and ride on the swing.
To tell somebody that some of the, yeah, grandma was on the phone. I remember that. Yeah.
Yeah. They're fantastic.
Yeah. Nice.
Yep. There's a whole bunch of those. I did enjoy those. Those were good ones. See? I had good taste. I mean, okay, I'll give you one, but they weren't a strip. They were a single panel. Beetle Bailey. No, you didn't read Beetle Bailey. Yes, I did. No, you didn't.
I didn't understand. I'm pulling one up right now. I didn't understand it. Because it was mash. It's mash in a comic strip. That's why. And you love mash.
That's why you like Beetle Bailey. I get it now. I get it. All right. Start the show then.
Let's do it. All right. Here we go. K-bye. K-bye.
Good morning. Good morning. Oh, really? One of those. All right. Well, what do you know? What's up today?
Oh, Thursday? Yeah.
I kind of had to scrape my windows a little bit this morning, which is always a treat.
Oh, I just sprayed some fluids.
Oh, did you? Yeah. And then let your wipers run for a while. It's bad for your wipers. I know you said that. I'm going to do it anyway. Make me take care of the cars and then get all upset when I tell you about the thing.
You haven't really been taking care of the cars, have you?
Yours still needs an oil change, I think.
Get that done. I'm aware. Done my to-do list.
Okay. So, you know...
I have to drive over that big hole. Yes. And I don't want to. Really? No, really. Why? It freaks me out.
The place... Just don't drive into it. I know. And they show you how to do it. I know. And you can even say, I'm not comfortable with that. Would you mind doing it? And they'll do it for you.
Oh, serious? Yeah. Okay. Maybe I'll do that. I'm sure you can. Except I need you to go too because then they say, oh, your air filter needs replaced. Yeah. And I go, okay, do it. When you're there, you go, no.
It's so easy. You just go like, okay, I'm not going to spend twice as much on that. Now I'm going to go get that part myself and do it myself.
But I don't know what part they need to do and what part they don't need to do. They always have something. Oh, this needs replaced. Oh, this needs replaced. You just go. Just do it. Oh, this needs replaced.
We could just do it ourselves entirely. I could teach you how to do it.
No, no, I don't want to. You don't want to? No. Are you crazy? No. That's not hard. I don't want to though.
Do you want to? No. Do you want to learn how? I'm not picking up a real strong feeling either way. What do you mean? I don't want to. No. There are like a million other things you'd rather do than learn how to change your own oil. Yes. Uh-huh. Yes. What was that? Go ahead. What were you going to say? Strong, independent, warm.
Yeah, when I want to be. Okay. I'll let you know when I'm going to be a strong, independent woman. And I'll let you know when I don't want to be. Got it. And I want you to do the things. Got it. That works. Got it. We choose when we want to be independent. Okay. Got it.
Loud and clear over here.
To change the subject, it's World Kindness Day.
Is it? Yeah. Well, that's nice. I have a shirt that says kindness. I should have worn that. But you should have worn it. I didn't know. You didn't know. That's why I said. I should have worn it. You should have worn it. You didn't know. Correct. Maybe I'll go home and change. Okay. How do you celebrate World Kindness Day?
By just being kind, really.
No way. Is that it? That's all it takes.
Yep. And it's pretty easy to be kind. It really is.
Well, maybe you do like a random act of kindness. Sure. Like where you pay for somebody getting lying behind you? That's nice. What's another one?
Let somebody merge into your lane. Oh, nice. That's kind.
Yep. Don't road rage on people today. Right.
I'm not a hard time with that one. Be kind. I am being kind. Kind of a crazy person. I am a little bit of a crazy person when I drive. Somebody, it was turning today and I yelled from my car, Go faster!
This morning already. Yeah. Whoa.
I know I got some bad road rage. I know. The first step is admitting it, right?
I think. I haven't ever done a 12-step program.
I know that I have some road rage. Okay. I know it.
Do you need a stress ball?
No, I'm not stressed out when I drive.
I'm just saying something you can just squeeze and then you can go okay, okay, okay.
I just need people to turn faster. Just turn faster. And into the right lane. You don't have to.
Oh, that makes me so crazy. So crazy. All right.
Well, all right. Happy World Kindness Day. And Strong and Dependent Woman being kind over here. We got it. Good morning. All right. Here's some good news. You like a story about kids being cool? Yeah.
Here's a story about a nine-year-old named Eldrick Norris. Cool kid. Yeah.
Yeah. And earlier this fall, he's a fourth grade student, by the way, in Michigan. And earlier this fall, he teamed up with his dad and they won a golf tournament.
Cool kid. Way to go, right? And other than just enjoying a victorious golf tournament with his dad, he was also awarded a $225 prize for finishing first place. And when it came to decide how to use the money, he said, I know what I'm going to do. What do you think fourth grade student nine-year-old Eldrick Norris did with his $225?
Well, a typical kid would just go buy something, but because this is a good news story. Yes. I'm sure he helped somebody in need.
That's right. So he thought of a school. He donated his prize money to his elementary school. His principal, obviously overwhelmed by the donation, said, I didn't know what to say. He's just a great kid with a great family. She asked if there was anything the school could do to show appreciation to his generosity.
And he had some fun ideas. He said, put churros back on the lunch menu, maybe some basketballs and footballs available for recess so that we can play when we go out.
Do they not have basketballs and footballs?
They probably do in the gym, but they don't take them out for recess. Why? I don't know. So he said, this guy's going places. He's like, you know what the people want? Churros. The people want churros and some stuff to do at recess. It isn't just run around and talk and walk around. Yeah, like give us something to do. We need to play. Yeah. He added that it was a great feeling to give back to a school. I just thought it was the right thing to do, he said.
It was the right thing to do. Eldrick, you're so nice, buddy.
Eldrick Norris from Lapeer, Michigan. Way to go, bud. It's good news.
I am per my doctor's recommendations trying to eat better and work out a little bit.
That's what you said, right? Yeah, how's it going? I don't like it. I think the eating better thing is happening. I think we've had some pretty good foods lately, some pretty good healthy foods. I've been trying to deal with portions. That's always been my struggle.
And so I've been trying to be very cognitive of portion. And that's hard because I'm like a load the plate up kind of guy.
And so to be like smaller portions is a challenge. But I know that's what helps me. Yeah, for sure. I overeat for sure, like big, big food.
We haven't been able to make it to the gym because it's dark and cold. I can't be bothered. I get home at night and it's dark and cold. And I go, oh, no, I'm not going back out. Are you crazy? I know. You tried to get me to go out last night and look at the Northern lights. And I was like, it's dark and cold out there. I don't, I don't do dark and cold.
It was hard to see last night anyway. But yeah, I know.
OK, so I was doing some yoga, some core exercises the other day. Pretty basic stuff, Josh. Pretty basic. I did like a dead bug, core exercise.
Yeah, I saw that. That was a good looking one.
And then I did a couple of pushups and then I did something else that I can't remember.
Like a planky thing?
Yeah. OK. And then. And then it was like, OK, let's keep going. And I was like, I'm not going to keep going. And I turned it off and it was like, are you sure you want to exit? And I said, yeah. And I'm not kidding you. And I tell you my abs are so sore.
Yeah. You did the one like bear crawl thing where you have to like hold yourself up. Yeah. And your toes and your fingertips kind of. I forgot I did that one. Yeah. Yeah, that one hurt the most. You had to activate your core. I know. And now your core is like, why did you activate me?
My core is like, bro. Deactivate. Yeah. Abort. Abort. We were fine being deactivated. It's rough.
It's rough being healthy. I hear that.
I hear that if you do it again, if you do those exercises again, it helps. Okay. But you're not supposed to do them when you're sore.
Are you? I think you're like, I don't know how it works. I'm not a trainer, but I think you're supposed to fight through the pain. Pain is weakness leaving your body. This is these are trainer things.
Okay. Okay. That makes sense. Right. That. Okay. What if it's like really painful? Should I continue with the exercise?
Don't even talk to a doctor. Just keep doing it.
This is not real evidence. Please don't listen to Josh.
Evidence. Advice. Advice. Yeah. I'm not a personal trainer. No.
That's terrible advice. But I will tell you, should you work out, should you work out your abs when sore? Oh, it just says here. Yes. You should work out when sore. You need to adjust your activity to light low intensity workouts or active recovery, like walking, stretching or gentle yoga. But it's important to differentiate between normal muscle soreness and injury related pain. You're having normal muscle soreness and you should continue to work through because as you warm up, lighter workouts usually fine if you are mildly sore. All right.
I'll continue. I'm going to keep going. It feels, I don't know how to correctly say this. It feels good, I guess. Like my abs being sore. I'm like, yeah, that's right.
Build my abs. Did something. And then I kind of keep feeling, I'm like, yeah, that feels like some muscle definition in there. Because of the three minute yoga session?
I'm like, I definitely feel six pack coming on. 100%. Girls can't even get a six pack. Absolutely they can. Oh, I guess they can.
I feel it. 100%. Do you want to feel? Oh, I believe you. My hand's not that long. I can't get over it.
Well, I'll come over later and then you can be like, yeah. And then I'll flex my abs and you can be like, whoa.
All right. Nice. Yeah. It's intense, bro. It says that if the pain is severe last more than a week, you should contact a doctor to rule out an injury. But if the soreness is so intense that it negatively affects your exercise form or balance, it's best to rest to avoid injury. Never push through severe pain, swelling, or bruising as that can indicate an injury.
The opposite of what you told me to do.
No, these are the important times when you should rest. Oh, okay. It's okay to work out if you have mild soreness. If you're switching muscle groups, that's a good idea. If your abs hurt, work out your legs or your arms, right? And low intensity activities like walking, gentle cycling, or swimming can help improve blood flow to the muscles, which will aid in recovery. Hot tub. Oh, guy.
I want some hot tub action.
Yeah. But if you're sore, that is pain being weakness leaving your body. Yeah. Push it to the limit. Yeah. You know, all that stuff.
It was difficult getting out of bed this morning. My abs were like, no, I did it. No. I was just surprised. That tiny little exercise I did the other day, my body's like, what are you doing?
Yeah. Why have you activated me? Well, keep them activated. Day one in the books. That was two days ago.
Day one in the books. Okay. Okay. RIPP. Who? Rest in peace, Penny.
Oh, yeah. Yesterday was the last day, wasn't it? Yep. The last penny was minted yesterday. Yep. So we're officially done then with the one cent?
We're officially penniless.
I mean, we, they're still around. There's still pennies, but. Do you think people are going to hoard them? For what purpose? I don't know, collectors to go, I have a penny. Look at my penny. They don't make these anymore. People get weird about stuff like that. Is that a thing you think? Are people going to do that?
I mean, yeah. People do stuff.
Okay. Good point. People do stuff. I like your argument.
Thank you. I'm not going to because I don't, yeah. I don't use cash much.
Yeah. So here's what I've seen being the case already. I saw a Burger King somewhere, I don't know where, I can't remember, that had a poster that they had put up at the cash register that said, if you're paying with cash and you're, you know, because we don't have pennies, they're going to round down or up depending on where it is. It's going to be up. You know it is. Well, no, then they, on the paper said, if it's, if it's, you know, a seven or a six, it's going down.
If it's an eight or nine, it's going up. Okay. That's what they said.
Okay. And so, you know, I assume the same would be true if it's a one or a two, it's going down. If it's a three or four, it's going up. Right. If it's 12 cents, it's 10 cents. Okay. If you're paying with cash, however, if you were paying with card, the transaction amount would still be the transaction. Really? Because pennies don't matter. You don't, you don't have to actually physically handle a penny in order to have a penny transaction in a cashless transaction.
I'd like to have a penny for your thoughts.
Oh, would you? Okay. Let's talk about that. That's interesting. Penny for your thoughts is now going to go to a nickel. Oh, no. Nickel for your thoughts. Thoughts just went up.
And also my two cents is now my five cents. Yeah. You're right. And that's my five cents. You're right. So we've got to, we got to work on those two things have to be fixed.
Yeah, they do. We just fixed them right here now.
Right. Don't ever tell me that's your two cents because I'm going to go, that's a nickel. That's going to cost you a nickel now. Thoughts, thoughts just went up. Right. Nickel for your thoughts.
A nickel for your thoughts.
Yeah, see, it's easy. Which is everything's going to have to change. Wherever the penny was, it's now the nickel.
And then lame. Lame. A penny is so much prettier than a nickel. You like the copper? No, I just mean like not even the look of it, just the sound of it. Nickel sounds so harsh.
But hey, listen, I was kind of thinking about it this way too. I was like poor Lincoln. Right. But he still got the five. He's still got the five dollar bill.
And he still has his legacy. Well, there's that. And that beard and that hat. He still has all the other things. And the monument. Yeah. Lincoln's fine.
I'm just saying. If I was like, hey, you got rid of my coin. And be like, it's okay. You still have the five dollar bill.
Yeah, you still are on the five. You still got a fiver, bud. Yeah. Settle down. Sweat not. Mr. Lincoln. That'd be funny if you could say that to Lincoln.
Sweat not. Hey, Sweat not Lincoln. Abe. Yeah. Hey, calm down, Abe.
Chill down, my guy. Yeah.
Chill down. Well, anyway. So yesterday, the last day, which mint got to press the last one? Do you know?
Is it Denver or? It was in Philadelphia. Oh, it's the Philadelphia Mint. I kind of, I wonder if they made a big deal about it. Like when the last, last, last penny came off the machine, they were like, here it is.
And then it was like a big to do. And everyone was like, ha-ha.
They, they, you think they did? They're like, all right, now let's move on to making more nickels. Let's go get back to work. Yep.
They probably did. Interesting. Pennies have been, they've been making, the US Mint in Philadelphia, the specific one, have been making pennies since 1793. Is that right? Yep. And they were made 100% of copper in 18, 1982. In 1982? Then they were made, made with copper plated zinc.
Yeah. And that's when they started turning green on you. Yeah. And that dark, dark brown because of oxidation. But when they were full on just, just copper, I suppose they would turn green too, because that's an oxidation thing that copper does. Hmm.
Hmm. About it. Yeah. How about it?
RIPP. RIP penny. That's your second P in, all right, PP. Okay. All right. Well, onto the nickel. Here we go.
Which is the season for acorn squash.
Yeah. You made some last night. Now you made four halves.
Well, I had two acorn squash. And you grabbed those things and you grabbed the knife and you started getting ready to cut those things in half. And I was afraid for the kitchen counter. Why? They were pretty tough to cut through. They were pretty tough to cut through. But I was using a cutting board.
No, I know. I just, I felt like you might have split all the way through. I was going to go get the ax for you. They seemed pretty tough to get through.
The second one was especially tough. Yeah. I did it.
I know you did. Strong independent woman. Oh, here we go. And so then once you got them cut in half, what was your recipe? It smelled nice. Oh, thank you. Because it smelled like butter and cinnamon and sugar. Yeah. That's what it is. So it had that going for it. Yeah.
You cook them for about a half an hour to make them all soft and tender.
And you cook them face down. Is that important?
Yeah. And you got to dig out all the seeds. Well, yeah. I don't know why that's important. Probably so it doesn't get brown on the top of them. Okay. I would assume. And then you flip them over. Yeah. And then you put butter and brown sugar.
There was a lot of butter in there. Yeah. You think you overdid it?
I overdid it on the butter for sure.
Because they were kind of like swimming. Yeah. But it's hot. Yeah. What was hot? The squashes. Yeah. I just did you need that much in there is what I'm asking.
The recipe had like one tablespoon of butter for each half. It was too much butter.
That's too much.
Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I would have used maybe a half of that. Okay. And then brown sugar. Yeah. Delicious. Yeah. Or syrup. I've done it with syrup too. Some maple syrup. But I didn't use that last night. And then some cinnamon.
So that's brown sugar and cinnamon is what it is. Okay. Gotcha.
I would have put some pecans in there if we had some pecans.
But we didn't have any pecans. Fresh out. I know.
And then I ate one. Nobody would eat them with me. Emery said they looked like something had died. Oh did she? Yeah. She came out and she goes what are those?
I heard that part but I didn't hear her say it looked like something had died.
It's just my squashes. Acorn squash is so good. That to me is a very fall comfort food. Okay. And how was it? It was delicious.
Was it everything you'd hoped for?
Yes it was. Minus the pecans. Yes it was. A little too much butter like I said. But mm mm mm.
And do you eat the skin also? No. You just eat the orange part. Yeah you just scoop it out. Uh huh. And it was everything you'd hoped for. Yeah. Yes. It was so good. Well I'm happy for you. Here's. And you got three of them now to like eat up. I know.
That's too much squash for one person.
Didn't look like it was very thick around the edge. It didn't look like it was that much squash.
You had made a chicken, what's it called? A chicken and zucchini noodle. Oh for dinner? Yeah. It was good. So you had zucchini noodles. Right. Emery had a fit. I know. She was like I'm not eating that. Until you gave her a mouth to try. A mouth. A what?
A mouthful. I gave her one bite. I said here you need to try this. She goes that's bigger than one bite. Now I'm gonna make it two but enjoy it. And she tried it. Yeah for you. And then put her dishes in the sink and left. And went no. But she tried it.
But when I say try some of this acorn squash you go no I'm not trying that. Yeah. You're such a hypocrite. No.
Yes you are. No I'm such a parent.
Try this. Hey try this. Hey try this. And then when somebody says it to you you go I'm good. Yeah. That is infuriating to me. Is it? Yeah nothing is more infuriating than that. Well there's a lot of things.
But that's on the list.
That's on the list. That drives me crazy. When especially you say that's gross. That's gross. That's gross. I didn't say it's gross. And then you won't even try it.
I never said it was gross. I said it smelled great. I know you love it. I'm excited you got to have it. Not a fan.
You don't even know.
You haven't even tried it. Oh I have. When? Historically some point in time. I doubt it. I 100%. You've made it before.
I have not. Yeah.
I haven't made it in a really long time. Yeah I know. I haven't eaten it in a really long time. You've never tried it around me. Oh I'm sure I have.
Nonsense dude. No way. No I gotta stop talking about it now because you're making me so mad.
Because I'm sure I have.
I'm positive you have not.
Gotta stop talking about it. Yeah we do. You're getting cranky about the squash.
I'm just saying if you're going to make your kid try a bite
then you also have to try a bite. I didn't make you try a bite of the squash.
No I understand. What the person tries is irrelevant. You have to try a bite. But why? I'm going to tell Emery the next time you tell her to try a bite to say no. Oh I'm good. That's your response. Oh I'm good.
Thanks. But I'm also a parent. It doesn't matter. I think it matters.
Because you can't make your kids do something that you're not also willing to do.
I told you I didn't make her try the acorn squash. That's different. Bro. That's the difference. The difference is I went I know that this is good. And healthy. And you're going to like this if you just try it.
Same with the acorn squash. Nah. Totally different. It makes me so mad when you do that. It really does. Really? Yes it really does.
Well now I know. I'll write that down in my book of things that I know to be true. Here I'll write it right now. The squash is a point of contention.
No it's not about the squash is it? It's anything. Anytime there's mushrooms you're like now I'm good.
Yeah no.
It's just it's the matter of you completely being like
now I'm not going to write that. What is the line that the kids go? Opinions. Preferences. Yeah. Opinions mom. Opinions. Everybody has different opinions. I get it. But also I don't want to try it. You know? I know. Are there are there similar foods that you go I don't want to try that?
Yeah anything with gross meat. See? The point is that I will at least try it. I really will. I'm willing to try it.
But do you have a similar food aversion to mushroom like I do? No. See so you don't know what that's like. I like all food. Right but mushrooms?
Delicious. No. You don't know because you've never tried.
No I've accidentally tried and I hated it.
They all taste different too.
If they're baked on a pizza. Yeah horrible. It's all delicious. No real bad.
Sauteed and butter. No. Delicious. Stuff with sausage. No. Delicious. Oh. No thank you. Just give it a go just try it.
What about blue cheese how do you feel about that?
It's fine.
It's not my favorite. Oh it's not fine. But I'll eat it. No. It's not fine. It's fine. You know how long it took me to come around to Thousand Island dressing? Forever.
Thousand Island dressing is good too.
Yeah I can handle it now. Especially in a taco salad. For a really long time. That's where ranch goes.
Ranch is an aversion I have. Dry ranch.
See opinions tastes we all have different ones. It's okay. We don't need to be upset about acorns. I'm not upset. All right. I'm glad you're not upset.
What are I was thinking about this last night. What are your coma requirements? If you're in a coma and you're unable to take care of yourself. What is something that somebody is going to have to do for you? What I mean by that is my sister and I have a pact. Okay. If she's in a coma. Right. I have to draw her eyebrows. Which I can't wait to do.
I know. Why did she trust you with that? I know. That's like giving me the marker. I can't wait to see the expressions.
You fool. You left me in charge.
All right. Let's look up some crazy eyebrows.
My request. Famous eyebrows. Is somebody has to pluck my whiskers.
Oh okay. Well who's doing that for you? My sister. Oh I see.
We have a pact. I'll take care of her eyebrows.
All right. So I'm looking at some different eyebrows here.
Oh you're looking at examples of what to do.
Well I looked up famous eyebrows.
I thought you were looking at different like requirements that people had.
No. But they- No. I want to know what kind of style of eyebrows you're going to draw on your sister. And I think the Burt is the way to go. Oh yeah. Have you seen the Burt?
Is that I assume it's Burt from Sesame Street. That's it. Yep. I can already tell what that looks like.
What does it look like? Oh big thick ones. It's one line. Oh yeah that's right. One big thick line. It is a unibrow. Yes. That's solid. That's a good option.
It is a good option. Who else had- What were Natalie and Brugley as eyebrows? Do you remember hers? Why? I'm just trying to remember.
But why specifically her?
She had like in that music video she had those eyebrows. Yeah. She's got the big curved ones. They're a little thick toward the bridge of the nose and then they pencil out real thin. That's a look.
I don't even remember any- Did she have- Was that a big controversy when she was making that video?
I think she just had eyebrows that people noticed. They were noticeable eyebrows.
I did not notice that at all. Yeah the Burt is definitely the way to go. Yeah. Yeah. And especially if Burt is angry. Like if he's just like in a happy mood it's just straight across.
Oh but it goes down in the middle. Yeah.
Nice. Oh yeah that's what I'm gonna do. Don why are you so angry today? That's what the nurses will say. You're gonna go, hey Burt. What's something- What's the requirement for you? What do you want me to help out with?
I don't really have like a beauty regimen.
Do you need me to like trim your mustache or shave your head or pluck your nose hairs?
I'm just in the hospital so I'll be fine.
Okay. I mean I'll help take care or something.
I don't think I really am worried about that. I'm more worried about like figure out how to wake me up. Well I will. That's the big- That's the big deal. Right.
That's what I'll also be doing. That's what's gonna ultimately wake up my sister. Is if I do her eyebrows terribly she's that's what's gonna spur her to wake up. I see. That's how it's gonna work.
Yeah I'd more I'm more so just want to be like hey wake me up. I have that fear that like you're you're in there and your body is physically asleep but your brain's awake and alert and knows what's going on that sounds like a terrible person.
Yeah that's a a book about a soldier from World War One. Yeah. Johnny got his gun you ever read that book? Yeah he's. It's terrifying. Yeah he can hear everything he's unable to communicate.
Yeah. It's a terrible book. Terrifying. Yeah. Absolutely. So I don't want that. Okay. So whatever whatever it is just keep it calm in there. If you're gonna have serious discussions take it elsewhere. I don't want to be I don't want to be able to know everything and not be able to do anything about anything.
But what if that's going to be the thing that wakes you up?
It's not. This is going to be the thing that makes you terrified in there. What
if okay what's something that you cannot stand? Like a show or a sound or a song.
I'd have to think about that a little bit.
Because maybe I'll just put that on repeat. Why would you do that? It's what's going to wake you up, isn't it?
Making me angry when I'm trapped in there is going to make me wake up.
Yeah, I mean it's worth a shot. No. We got to give it a...
It's the opposite of what I just requested, which was to keep it calm.
Yeah, but if it's calm, then you're just going to want to keep on keeping on.
No, that's not true. We got to like rouse the emotion. I don't need outside influence making it more stressful.
It's not going to be stressful.
It's just going to... You just said, what's a thing you hate?
Let me turn that on. Yeah, I don't want to be angry. But that's what's going to wake you up.
No. We have to try. You've had me wake up angry before doing things that are not comfortable. Have I? I'm just saying. Like if you could be woken up, wouldn't you so much rather be woken up like, hey, it's time to get up.
Well, right. Nice little back scratch. But we've tried all that. That doesn't work. No, you haven't tried any of them. Yes, we have. No way. We've tried all of that. And now it's like, we got to do something. We got to get intense with this wake up procedure. Turn on something he hates.
Nope. That just feels so rude.
I've got a handful of shows that you hate that I watch that I could put on any given notice. Try this one.
No.
No, that one didn't do it. Try this one. Yeah.
And then I'm just in there screaming.
Yeah. Yeah. But I can't get out. So now I'm just internally so frustrated. That's the awful time.
One of the things that make you the crankiest, it's going to work. I'm going to let your beard grow. How could you? Well, you won't because it's my sister's job.
She's going to be right there next to you with no eyebrows. Why are we both there? It's crazy. Genetic coma thing, I guess. And nobody's giving her eyebrows and nobody's plucking whiskers. And I'm just running a bunch of techno music on full blast.
Yeah. Why? Because it makes you wake up. It'll wake you up.
Extreme measures. All right.
I mean, it's worth a shot. No, no. See how compliant I am. Yeah. Sure. Venmo private or public? Yeah.
So I always do them on private. I don't know if people know that they can do that because I just don't. I see people all the time. I go on there and I go, uh, do you know that that is public? Because it doesn't have to be. And also why is Venmo like a social network? Like I don't need to know what people are buying.
I don't need to know what people are buying either. But do you ever just scroll and go, hmm, interesting. I wouldn't about that. I get a little bit judgey.
You overpaid for that. Yeah.
Or what's even weirder is when you have two multiple acquaintances that shouldn't know each other, but have had a transaction. Interesting. And then you're like, whoa, that's weird. Why would you buy furniture from that person? Kind of a thing. You know?
Yeah, I get you. Let's see. I'm trying to see. I don't need to do that. Okay. Let me look here. Okay. As I look through, and I'm not going to out anybody, but I'm just going to, I'm just going to talk about a couple of, uh, a couple of things.
Like somebody paid somebody for bread. Okay. Like that's, that's nice. Like, oh, here's some money for bread. Right. A birthday. You expect to see those. Right. There's a birthday one. Uh, let's see.
I like when people will pay and then they'll put like cryptic words in there.
Yeah. Or just, yeah, or just an emoji. What would you buy? Yeah. Like this one says happy birthday. Get yourself something nice. That's a whole note. Wow.
Yeah. Nobody venmo's me birthday money. I mean, I have gotten birthday money before. Uh, interesting. I was just looking, uh, through this one, my nephew paid his fiance. Oh, and then he just put a picture of a house. Oh, rent.
Venmo and rent money.
I guess that's what I guess to, I do like to scroll a little bit and be like, hmm.
This one is vague. Just says products. Okay. What kind of product? I don't know. There's also a pizza in here.
Yeah. My nephew, that's my nephew.
I see that one. Pain is fiance for pizza. I've seen that a couple of times. Yep. I've seen a couple of pizza payments.
I, we are going to see a wicket with my friends. Yes. Next weekend. Right. And he bought the tickets. And so I venmoed him. I try really hard to find emojis because I think the emojis are funny.
Yeah. I couldn't find a witch. I couldn't find anything to do with a wicked like nothing from the movie. And so I was like, well, maybe I'll just do green and maybe I'll just do pink. But that was totally lame. So then I just put wickedly awesome.
Oh, there you go. That's fun. But here's the deal. Make your stuff private.
No, because then I can't see.
I don't want to see. I don't know why that is a public thing. That's so strange.
And it is a little bit.
You can make your purchases private. You don't have to tell people you spent money on bread.
I don't know why it matters, but then I won't ever know that that person bought bread from that person. I don't need to know that. I do. I don't need to. And it's rare that I even get on Venmo. But when I do, I go, oh, let's see what everybody bought. Oh, interesting. A house. A pizza. I don't know.
I mean, you could, could you write, you can write whatever you want in there. Yeah, you can. So you could, you could literally like make stuff up like chimpanzee. Like I, like you could write whatever you want.
Exotic animal. For my zoo. Right.
You can write anything in there. You could be like bag of rocks and people would be like, cool. You could put in, let's see, let's look around the room.
My nephew has paid his fiance a lot of pizza money. I need to talk to him.
Yeah. Why isn't he ordering the pizza? He needs to order the pizza.
And have her.
That's what I'm saying. She needs to be paying him for pizza. He's got it all backwards.
Also, I feel like maybe you guys are eating too much pizza.
Oh, okay. Good to know. See, see, these are the things make your stuff private. People start judging you about the amount of pizza you pay for on Venmo. If you make it public.
So let me see how much you pay. Oh, I can't see a dollar amount. No, it doesn't show. I wonder if she's overcharging him for the pizza.
Oh, could be. She'd be like, you never paid me for that pizza. And he's like, no, I swear I did.
Yeah, I swear you did too. I see a lot of pizza purchases. Maybe that's code. Maybe check your arteries. Maybe cook a meal. Maybe try that.
So a second ago, I was running down the hall. You were going crazy looking for me out the door like, where'd he go? It was a whole thing.
Well, yeah, because it was time for us to talk.
I know it was a whole thing. And I had looked at the thing and I had said, all right, I have a couple of songs. I'm going to run down. I had brought a little breakfast bowl that I was going to heat up and, and eat. And so I was reading the directions and you just have to poke a couple of holes in the film, put it in the microwave for a couple of minutes. I'm like, cool, I got time.
I'm going to do that. I came back down here, set some stuff down and I, I looked at the time and there was like a minute 45 or something left in the song. And I knew that there was less time than that on the microwave and you have to take it out, stir it, put it back in for a minute. So I thought, I can handle that and be back in time to talk on the radio.
It'll be okay. Yeah. So that was the plan.
It's not how it went because the timer finished. I opened it up and I thought, oh, I don't have to take the film off. I'll just shake it.
Oh, no. And the film came loose on one part and a bunch of stuff spilled on the floor. And so I was like, put it back in, started the timer for a minute. I had to clean up the floor. All this stuff that I didn't have time for, but I couldn't leave a mess on the floor and then run back and talk on the radio and then go back and clean it up because people are around. And so I'm like, oh no. So I had to clean up a mess that I made. Half the bowl fell out. Oh no. I know. Josh. I'm super bummed out about it. It's really sad. So I had a couple of bites of the breakfast bowl.
It was good. It smells really good. It was nice, but it was about half the bowl. You wouldn't have eaten it off the floor. No. Would you eat anything off the floor? Not from that kitchen.
From anywhere in here. And not that the floors are like filthy, but it's just like this is shoes floor. Yeah. I don't, you don't eat food off a shoes floor.
It depends what type of food it is. Like potatoes. Did you have potatoes? There were some potatoes. I don't think I would mind eating the potatoes. Like I might just. They have a lot of surface area. Yeah. But I might just wipe them off with a paper towel and then call it. Okay.
It was a good handful of food. If it's eggs. There was egg sausage and potatoes and cheese and a bunch of it hit the floor.
Oh, Josh. I know. It wouldn't have been a big deal, but you would have pushed the red button, which means that everything stops.
But I really, I had enough time. I was like, okay, I can handle this. But then I got completely sidelined.
You didn't tell me where you were going. You just ran out of the room.
Yeah. I was hurrying. I had time. We were up and I went, Josh.
How are you? I'm not doing this alone. No. No, I don't do this alone.
I mean, you could have run over here and hit that button and turned it up and been like, he's not in the room. I don't know what. And I would have been backed by then.
It was real fast. You know, which one's the microphone. No, I don't. Yes, you do. I'd already taken care of everything else. All you do is turn on the microphone and start talking.
I didn't know that you had already taken care of everything else. Well, the red button was pushed. Josh, I'm just a sidekick on this show.
No. I don't. No, you heavy lift.
I mean, to a certain extent, yeah, I bring a lot of the content.
Yeah. You are the content. So. Thanks. Yeah. But if you want to just talk, here, I'll just turn mine off and see how you do.
It'll be like when Garth is all alone on Wayne's world because Wayne walks out and Garth is like, oh, I don't know what to do. You know that, you know that part.
See, it's hard when you don't have that other person. It is hard. It's why on days where you're like, I'm not come sick or I have to work my other job more hours and I go like, well, this is going to be a bad show.
But you're the professional. You've done this.
But you're the content. See, the content and the professional come together and that's where we make a show. See, I bring the button pushing skills and the computer, what not. And you bring all the fun.
I bring all the stuff to talk about. That's right. Which isn't always great. Sometimes the content is a little lackluster.
Like when you drop half your breakfast on the floor.
Let's talk about it. Exactly.
That's all you got to do. It's just live in your life, you know?
I mean, it happens to the best of us.
You're you suggesting I'm the best of us because that's high praise and also false. Because of the two of us. I don't know that I'm the best of us.
Depends on the circumstance, doesn't it? I guess. I think I'm the best of us in some aspects. And I think you're the best of us in other aspects. That's why we make a good team.
Du-O. That's right.
Trash and Chantel Du-O. Good one. Do you want to go to Boston?
I would really like to go back to Boston.
Yes. If we do go back to Boston, I would like to stay at the Sheraton Boston Hotel.
Okay. In the back bay. In the back bay. Let me look. Sheraton.
They have an official Good Night Moon Suite.
Is it decorated like the book? Yes, it is. Yep. This is the Boston and you said it's the, oh, here it is, the Good Night Moon Suite. Yep.
It looks like the book. I know it does. It even has a cow jumping over the moon. And when you stay there, it also comes with a bowl full of mush. I don't want that. It does not come with an old lady whispering hush.
If I stay with you, it does.
It does come with a red balloon. Interesting. Do you know that story very much at all? No, but I see it in the corner.
The red balloon? I mean, I, I, the kid says good night to everything. I just assume that's one of the things he says good night to.
Yeah. Good night. Light in the red balloon. Yeah.
Oh, it's a cute looking little, it's very green. Isn't it cute?
Yeah. Cause the book is green. It looks exactly like the book. I wonder if you have to pay extra to stay there.
The bowl of mush, is it real or is it just look like that? I think it's, I don't think it's real.
It's probably maltomail. I bet you. I bet.
But it doesn't look like real. Like it looks real, but I think it's just a prop. I think it's prop mush.
Oh man. I would like it if it was maltomail. Gross.
I don't think they're going to have a bowl of hot mush just sitting on the table. And how long has it been sitting on? That's what I'm saying. It's prop mush. The view out the window looks completely fake. I think it probably is. It looks completely drawn.
But then why wouldn't they draw night? Fair point. You see?
I see what you're saying.
Do they have two little kittens and a pair of mittens? Yes, they do. And a comb and a brush?
I do see the two little kittens. I do see the comb and the brush. They're sitting on the table next to the bowl of mush. Yeah, that's where they should be. That's where they are. Perfect. I'm trying to see the mittens.
Three little bears sitting on chairs?
I'm looking, I'm looking.
Two little kittens and a pair of mittens. I saw the two little kittens. And a little toy house.
And a young mouse. Hold on.
These are all of the things. It has to have all of the things.
I know it does. And I'm not seeing all of the, all of the things. But I think it's part of the discovery. I see two little slippers.
Slippers. Yes. Yeah, I guess there were slippers. They don't mention the slippers in the book.
There are three little bears sitting in chairs and a picture on the wall. Yes. Perfect. There's a clock and a phone.
A phone. The phone's in there. Yeah. The clock, is it? Uh... I'm trying to remember. That's, it's been a long time since I read that book to my little kids.
There's a fireplace and a lamp. Yes. Yes. And a little house. There is a little toy house. A little toy house. There is a little toy house next to the yellow rocking chair.
Perfect. How about a young mouse?
It's got to be hidden somewhere. I just know it.
I'm sad. So the only thing it seems that they're missing is the quiet old lady whispering hush.
I told you, if I go with you, there will be the quiet old lady who will go, you're going to walk around going hush. It rhymes with mush and brush.
Oh, I'm the quiet old lady? Yes. I don't want to be the quiet old lady.
That's what your role is when you're, you're going to sit in the rocking chair knitting and you're going to go hush.
No, not a knit. And not a crochet.
You're going to sit in the rocking chair and crochet and go hush. And I'm going to go just like the book. Look at you. What's with the white tiger rug? Was that part of the book? The white tiger rug. Yeah, was that in the book? I don't think so.
It's not, it's not part of the book.
It's not even in the illustration. So the white tiger rug was a choice. No, it looks like there's a tiger rug in the book. You just can't see it because.
It's not mentioned in the book.
Yeah, but it's there and it's just a tiger rug, but it's not a white tiger rug. So they made that choice. I'm trying to see, I don't see the mittens. I see the balloon. I see the kittens. I see the little toy house. I see a lot of things. I'm not seeing the mittens. Cow jumping over the moon is there. Little draft, baby doll, bookshelf, elephant. A lot of the other stuff I'm seeing, but I don't see, and I don't see the mouse. Oh no. I do see the rabbit in the bed. Which probably is, you know, this is a story about a rabbit. Yeah.
Okay. I didn't see that tiger rug initially. The tiger rug feels out of place.
But if you look at the actual book, there's a tiger rug. Okay. Yeah. I don't see the mouse though. Got to look for the mouse.
We'll just have to go and find it.
All right. What's a good find? Cute. Yeah, it's very cool.
Shipping off to Boston. Here we go. All right. Here we go. This is cool. Pay attention to this if you like potatoes. Or as I call them in my house, Tatos.
No one calls them Tatos. Potatoes. No one calls them that.
Double M Ag and Irrigation is partnering with Liberty Gold and Driscoll Potato, and they are giving away bags of spuds later this month in what they are calling the great Idaho potato grab.
Talk to me about this a little bit more.
What's the story? They're setting up a drive-through. So all patrons need to do is drive up, grab your bag of potatoes, and away you go. Each patron will get a 10 pound bag of spuds. Okay. It's happening at the following double M locations. I'm going to tell you the locations on Saturday, November 22nd.
So that's next weekend? Yes. Okay.
So in Blackfoot at the double M location, 9 to noon.
9 a.m. to noon, okay?
In American Falls, same deal at the double M location, 1 to 4. Okay. And then in Aberdeen, double M location, 1 to 4 p.m.
So as well. Okay. So this is all next Saturday. You just drive through. Yep. You get your 10 pound bag of spuds. Yeah. Do they have extra spuds? What's the story?
They just want to help out with the community. I think that's great. And they said, we love our potatoes so much and we love the community so much and we want the community to know how much we love and appreciate them and have a potato.
So they're just giving away spuds. Yeah. I tell you, getting yourself, when's the last time you had a real Idaho grown potato? Now I'm going to say you go to the grocery store and you buy potatoes and they're going to say made in Idaho, grown in Idaho, whatever. The potatoes that we buy at the grocery store, I don't know.
How many people know this? They're not the same potatoes that they send from Idaho to other parts of the country. So if you go buy an Idaho potato somewhere else, you get a different quality of potato than you do if you buy an Idaho potato in Idaho. So when's the last time you had a real Idaho spud?
I don't know. I don't know where my potatoes come from.
Do you not read the bag? Well, yeah. I always buy an Idaho bag, but that's... But you're saying that that's not... I'm saying we get different potatoes than what they send out.
You're saying the bag is lying to me then.
No, it's from Idaho. Okay. They're just sort of like the seconds. They're not the... Because we can get potatoes. We grow them. We know what they are. We get a spud. But if you want a real Idaho bakers potato, when's the last time you had a big spud?
I mean, we had... It's not the same. A baked potato on Sunday. Nope.
It's not the same. Go get a 10-pound bag of these. They're completely different potatoes. Blow your mind.
Okay. You're going to be like, why have I been eating subpar potatoes? I'm going direct to the farmer from now on. It's a different potato.
All of this information is on East Idaho News.
Not the part that I was talking about.
No, not just the part about the giveaway. The part about... So if you want the information again, you want the addresses of where you can drive through and pick up these 10-pound bags of potatoes for the great Idaho potato grab, check out East Idaho News. Okay.
They have it? Yeah.
All right. That's where I got the information.
Thumbs up. Go get it. Potatoes up. Two potatoes up.
We've had a lot of people call us and ask when we're going to play Christmas music.
This is true. We've had calls. We've had messages. We've had a lot of people asking.
And then for some reason, I don't know. We were supposed to keep it a secret. It's supposed to be a secret. And then I said, why are we keeping this a secret?
I don't know necessarily. I know that what I've been working on has a lot of tea stuff coming to it. So it's exciting. It's an exciting time for the station to go to Christmas music.
Even my doctor asked the other day. Serious. Yeah. And I said, you're getting some insider information, doc.
Well, do you want these results or not? He's holding your data hostage. You give me what I need. I need some jingle bells.
People have been messaging. I've just been telling them. It's coming soon. It's coming soon.
Yeah. So here's the thing. And I don't know. It started forever and ever and ever ago. And I think you had a different landscape in competitive radio where people were like, we're going to be the first in the community to go Christmas. And it was like a race. And then people were like, what are we doing? Like, let's settle down a little bit.
Here's the thing though. You can't win. Oh, I know. If you start too early, people are going to be upset. Right. If you don't play it early enough, people are going to be upset. That's correct. We just cannot win.
And that's where we are. We've got people who are like, it should have started Halloween night. And then we've got people who are like, don't do it until after Thanksgiving. And then what happens is we'll flip the switch. And then we're going to hear from all the people like, you're doing it too soon. So right now we've got the people that are going, why isn't happening yet? Then we'll do it.
And then we'll hear from the people that said, no, not yet. I'm not ready. So it's, it is. It's a lose, lose.
It's really difficult. So we kind of do it on our own terms. But we thought we would have a little bit of fun. And so yesterday I was made aware of our cohorts down the hall and around the corner at K-Bear. They had put together a song.
And after a couple of rounds of editing, I think we've come up with a pretty good song to kind of put things into perspective, maybe. I don't know. It's just for goofs. All right. I'm going to play it. I'm going to play or at least part of it here. And then, you know, because it's like two minutes long, we don't need to play the whole two minutes because you get a little bit cranky about it. I just get a little bored. OK. That's fine. Sometimes the song's too long for somebody. And sometimes it's not even long enough.
Right. You see. I do.
Sometimes I hear it and I go, yeah, this is fun. This is a good time. And other times it's like, yeah, it could be shorter. But I feel like we put a little bit of effort into it. And so we should share it. All right, go ahead. So we've got again, it's all for goofs. Right. No one be offended. No one be angry. This is just for fun. It's just a silly little song.
And everyone, disclaimer to everyone that we've talked to has been super nice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, we're really excited. When are you going to play it?
The kids are in the car asking. We've got a lot of people really super into it. So anyway, let's let's listen here. And if you feel like I need to pause at any time, let me know. OK, OK.
It's not even Thanksgiving. We're still eating pie. But here come the messages. When's the sleigh bells, you guys? We love a good jingle. We love, oh, say, Nick. Pumpkin spice ain't cold yet. Hold your peppermint stick. Stop it, stop it.
Your tinsel can wait. Josh and Chantel trying not to break. It's still November. Don't make them snap. Your Christmas obsessions giving us whiplash. Too early for Mariah to swim for the snow. Calm down, Karen, we'll let you know. All right, that's my favorite line.
I like that. I like the whiplash. Yeah, that's good, too. I'm the part where he laughs or he's like, yeah.
Listen up. All right, listen, that is 100% AI generated and I'm blown away at the quality. I know.
That AI has these days when it comes to the music thing. It's wild. It's really scary.
Like this sounds like a combination of a Megan trainer and a Pentatonix Christmas song. That's what it sounds like to me. Megan trainer for sure. Oh, absolutely, right? Like that could be a Christmas rotation. It could be, it could be. Do it up, do it up. Do it up, do it up.
Play Jingle Bell Rock, it's still warm outside. We just packed the flip flops and said goodbye to July. You're trimming your tree, we're just finding our fleece. But give us a week, the sleigh bells won't cease.
Hold on, did you catch the clue in there? No, I did not. Did you not hear that last line?
Something about fleece.
And then right after that? I didn't hear. But give us a week, the sleigh bells won't cease. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Interesting.
Just hold up, hold up. Put down that sleigh. Just in Chantel aren't ready today. With the North Pole called, they said relax. We promise the jolly's coming back. You'll get your bing, your bing, your ho, ho, ho. But not till we say so.
All right, that feels a little bit aggressive. Not till we say so. I mean, obviously we've got to push a button to make it happen. But it is gonna happen. It is. You'll get your Mariah, your bing, your.
And they promise you it's soon.
It's soon. It's just not today. And it's gonna be good. Like you're gonna be like, you know what? It was worth the wait.
Cause I'll tell you something else. What else? By December 26th, you're gonna be over it. You're gonna be so sick at Christmas music. It's so good.
It is a good song. It's out while it's still warm. Snowflakes showing up before the storm. The carols are close. We feel it too. But we'll unwrap Christmas when it's due. Come on. Right.
All right. Look, it's gonna happen. That's the big message is that we don't need more. That's fine. It is coming. The big switch to Christmas will happen. It's on the way.
And I will just say, if you're following us on socials and if you're driving around town looking at some billboards you might get some big clues as to when exactly it's gonna happen.
Oh, I love it.
You see what I'm saying? I see what you're saying. So I just, you know, we have a plan. We have a timeline and we're very excited about it. And it's right around the corner. And if you wanna hear that song again, I'll make it available somewhere somehow. If you wanna hear the whole thing.
Just, you know, if you're really into it. We did just hear the- I cut off the last verse. There's another verse. Yeah. Don't need it.
There's a bridge and a last verse. It's a whole song for two minutes and 21 seconds. I know it's long. That's what you said about it. And that's not what I think. I think it's perfect. I think it's just right. Like when it comes to Goldilocks and the Three Bears that song is just right.
Giving us whiplash. Yeah.
Do do do do do do do. See, you're hooked on it. It's catchy. I know, listen to it. It's so good. Do do do do do
do do do do do do do do do do do do do do. Would you rather- This or that?
Yep.
Okay, what's up? What is it? Would you rather have your house smell permanently like pumpkin spice or a wet dog after a hay ride? Well, what? Some people really don't like pumpkin spice.
I guess so, but I'm taking that.
And then always your house always smells like pumpkin spice.
I don't ever want the house to smell like wet dog after a hay ride. All right. What do you mean, all right? What? Name a time when you've been like, yeah, the house could smell like wet dog after a hay ride. Never. Zero times. What is this option? Would you rather have a billion dollars or lose an arm?
What is- I just wanted to make it easy today. It's settled down.
I mean- You need these little weeds. I'm fine with it, but those are two very opposite sides of a nickel. A penny, I'd say. No, can't anymore. Yes, you can. Nope, we moved on to the nickel. Penny. What's this wet dog after a hay ride thing? What is that even a thing? First of all, a wet dog is one smell. After a hay ride.
Well, you have a wet dog, one smell, and then an outside dog is another smell. Yeah, a dog that's been outside. And then a hay ride smell is a totally different smell. So that's three separate smells. There's a little bit of horse in there. Combined in one gross dog.
A wet outside hay ride dog. Yeah. Yeah. They should bottle that up. No, they shouldn't. Is that essence of wet dog after a hay ride?
I'm picking up notes.
Yeah, there's a note of Maine in there. There's a nay, I say. No. Yes, that's a horse joke.
No, we got it, thanks. Did you? Yep. All right, well, I guess that was an easy one today. So. Yeah.
Congrats, I guess. Thanks, thanks, I did it myself. Would you rather this or that? So, sad news. It was revealed, I'm trying to remember when. It says last November, so about a year ago, James Vanderbeek revealed that he has colorectal cancer, which is a sad deal. And he says he's privately been dealing with his diagnosis. He's been taking steps to resolve it. And with the support of his incredible family, there's reason for optimism.
He says, I'm feeling good, which is awesome. He has some money that he needs though, which is strange to me to think about that like, people need money, including James Vanderbeek.
It's, listen, medical expenses will bankrupt you real quick.
Yeah, so he is parting with several different items from Dawson's Creek and Varsity Blues. He's auctioning some of these things off, different props and wardrobe, with proceeds going to his own medical fees because he's struggling to pay these bills, right? So he said, I've been storing these treasures for years waiting for the right time to do something with them.
And with all the recent unexpected twists and turns that life has presented recently, it's clear that that time is now. He does say he has some nostalgia tugging at him as he parts with these items. He says it feels good to be able to offer them through prop stores auction to share with those who have supported my work over the years.
So this auction is happening. It's a live auction, December 5th to the 7th, with prop store and they're offering, auctioning off his outfit from the 1998 Dawson's Creek Pilot, which they expect to bring in like four grand. He's got the necklace that Dawson gave Joey from prom. So that's the necklace that he gave Katie Holmes in the show. And that's estimated to go from anywhere from 26,000 to 52,000 for that necklace, which is pretty big. And the auction also includes his Varsity Blues character, West Cannon Coyotes hat and a pair of cleats that were worn in the movie as well, which I think is interesting. So he's got several pieces that he's auctioning off and that auction is December 5th through the 7th. If you feel like shelling out some dollars for some memorabilia.
Pretty sad that you have to auction off stuff to pay for your medical bills.
Yeah, yeah, it's pretty. That stinks. Yeah, that's hard. Obviously, I hope he gets well soon and hopefully this helps him out. Kind of a big deal. But if you're interested in owning a piece of Dawson's Creek or Varsity Blues, you'll have that opportunity on December 5th through the 7th. Okay. Prop store is where you can buy.
Yeah, I'm probably not gonna.
Well, I know. I'm not big on owning the hat or the necklace or anything specific. But maybe, I know, right? On multiple fronts. I know. Good luck to you, James. And that is the sad story we're gonna end the show with.
Yeah, wait a minute, on a sad note, Josh. I could play that Christmas song again. No.
Okay. You wanna know something crazy is that right after we played that, we got another message somebody asking when we were gonna start playing Christmas music. So, you know, it's coming. Hang tight.
