Full show transcript:
Well, it is now officially February and this is Wake Up Classy 97, the podcast. Welcome to February. Is that a while? You've got 20 days till your birthday.
That is correct. About 20 days till my birthday. We are inching ever closer to our 400th episode. We're only a few days away. I think we hit 400 this week.
That's crazy. Is that a while? You, I was sending you some videos yesterday from TikTok and you said, why do you keep sending me videos about people who are dying?
Yeah. And that wasn't the message that I was trying to send to you. Because they were nice. They were like sentimental videos, but they all had to deal with like, well now that my partner's gone, I guess I'm doing this solo thing. No, there was one that was like, I hope when we both die that someone dances in the kitchen the way that we used to. Yeah, which is cute. That's nice.
It is nice. Death. The other one. What was the other one? I don't know the other one. That was the other one I remember.
The other one was something about like, you know, I don't want to walk this world alone without you. Death. No, you said that one. Because you were sending me some too that were dead. No, I send you nice ones that are like, we should go do these things together while we're alive.
See, it's a different approach. Oh yeah, I did send you this one that was like, if I ever lose my husband, there's going to be no one to pick me up off the floor. No one to support me the way that he does. So no pressure. Don't die. I said that. You have a lot to live up to. Yeah. I'll be ready for it. Uh-huh. Then I'm like, what kind of algorithm are you on?
Some sort of depressing widow TikTok? No, it's just, hey. I'm having a good time with you. Don't ruin it. Oh, okay.
I'll do my best. Yeah. Yeah, you got a sad algorithm over there. Oh, it's nice.
I mean, it's sentimental, but it's a little depressing. I get what you're saying. All right. Well, work on that. Watch some happy, funny stuff. I do.
Send me happy, funny stuff. All right, I'll work on it. All right, thank you. Here is today's show. Hey there. Good morning. Oh, hi. How's it going? Good.
It's Monday. What? Uh-huh. This morning you asked again, are you sick?
All right, you need to call our boss. Yeah. And then you said every day.
Yeah. No, I didn't ask you like you're going to ask me this every day. You said, are you sick? And I said, every day.
Okay, that's the answer that I assumed you meant. Like every day I'm sick. Okay. But today. Because the answer is yes, I'm going to ask you every day. I see.
Because here's the thing, Josh. Yeah. If you're sick here, I also have to be sick because I don't know how to work that machine. Uh-huh. So. This whole thing?
Yeah. It's not super hard. So I can't do this. I can walk you through it. Yeah, I could. No.
But, but. She says. Means. No.
Okay. Can't teach an old dog new tricks. You're not an old dog for one, for two. Yes, you can. Never stop learning and saying.
I don't want to. Today is Groundhog Day. Oh, that's right. The festivities are happening currently in Pennsylvania. I'm watching the live stream. They're throwing out things to the crowd. I think groundhogs. I think they're throwing out groundhogs to the crowd.
Oh man. I, when I first woke up, I remembered it was Groundhog Day. And then I said, oh, I gotta, I gotta open the mic with a.
What does they say? Who? The Groundhog Day movie. I don't know. Last year we looked it up. We did the whole thing. We played Sonny and Cher. We did the whole thing last year. We've done that. We've done that bit before. Old bit. If you want to hear that bit, listen to a year ago.
Okay. And then a couple of years ago, you, you actually made Groundhog. This was years and years ago.
Yeah. Different morning show host and I. You made it here too. Oh, we did do it here.
You're right. I did because I had gotten a Blackstone for Christmas and I needed to season it. Season it in.
And so I had done the initial seasoning. Right now on the live feed from Groundhog Day, just as a side note, they have an AI Groundhog that's doing a sit down interview. I, it's bizarre. Stop.
It's bizarre. What is happening? He's moving his little arms as he's talking, like leaning in to listen to questions.
He's waving at the camera. We'll see you guys soon. Oh, stop it. I can't wait to see my shadow or not.
What a weird thing. When do we find out? Hopefully real soon.
I'll let you know as soon as I do, but here's the, here's the deal. So I decided to cook sausages, which is Groundhog in casings. And so yeah, I did that to season the grill.
Just did that in the parking lot, cooked up some sausages. I think it was a hit. I think so too. Yeah.
It was a big deal. So right now there's a bunch of people on stage who don't look like they're the Groundhog people. They're not the top hat crew. These are, these are people.
There's a goat, like a Groundhog mascot. There's someone in some very colorful pants. This man's wearing a Miami college Miami windbreaker.
That man is dressed in more stripes than anyone should ever be allowed to wear. So I don't know what's going on here. It's a circus is what's happening, but I'll keep you updated. Okay. As soon as we know. I think it's probably coming soon. Oh, cause where is it?
In Pennsylvania. Okay. Dobbler's knob. That's right. Yeah.
And they also on the sign, they've abbreviated his name to punksy fill. Cute. Yeah. Okay.
Keep us updated. I mean, it hasn't been, it's been such a mild winter that right. Six more weeks of this. I don't necessarily mind. I mean, here's the thing.
Yesterday was beautiful. Yeah. I wore shorts. We'll talk about that later. But anyway, I'll let you know it's got to be coming soon. Okay. Good morning.
So just to confirm. Punksy Tawney did in fact see a shadow and that means six more weeks of winter. Now I've never watched the whole thing about how they do it, but they tap on the little door to wake him up. They open up the door. They take him out.
They talk a little bit. They set him on the stump and they have two scrolls. One for spring, one for more winter. And that is how they decide. Punksy Tawney will select a scroll. I thought it was if he saw a shadow. Correct.
And the scroll reads, I have seen my shadow. This is all very scientific. Always has been, always will be continual weather forecast based on a rodent. Okay. So, you know, do with that information, which will.
Exactly. Wear in East Idaho and that is par for the course for us. More winter. So, I think if they did it here, it would always be more. It would always be more winter. We always expect winter until. July.
I was going to say early June, but sometimes July. Anyway, that's, that's the deal. Good job, Phil. All right. I promised you good news and good news you shall have.
This is a cool story. Joan and Sanford. Well, they are a generous couple and they've been married for an incredible 70 years.
Wow. They've been together, which is pretty amazing. And they just made history with a record breaking donation to the University of California, Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. This is a massive gift. $120 million.
They have donated. Whoa. Yeah. It's the largest ever made to veterinary medicine ever. That's huge.
It's very large. And it was inspired by the compassionate care that their beloved dog angel received at the school during her health troubles. While Sanford built a fortune in the world of finance, he and Joan are using that personal success to build a small animal teaching hospital and their funding some clinical research. The school has been renamed the UC Davis Well School of Veterinary Medicine to honor their generosity and their gift will help both animals and humans in the area for decades to come. So sweet.
So cool. But that's quite the donation. Yeah, they're going to be able to do what I was going to say, imagine that check presentation. They go, you know, they go, we're going to make a donation. And they're like, oh, that's so kind and thoughtful. No, you don't understand.
It's a lot of money. Sit down. Wow. Unbelievable. So, um, yeah, that's, that's really special.
So, uh, well done, Joan and Sanford. That's just, I hope you didn't accidentally add an extra zero or two or something. Accidentally, they only wanted to do $120. Yeah. And they're like, oh, 1200.
Oh, no, no, I'm sure they meant to. That's, that's pretty amazing. So, uh, congratulations to UC Davis Well School of Veterinary Medicine. Uh, what a, what a cool thing and some good news. I was using chat GPT for something the other day and I think chat GPT and I are best friends. Oh, is that right?
And I'll tell you why it's so supportive. Oh, good. I was asking it for some advice.
This is healthy. Or how to get me like, I was like, I need like, help me toss around a few ideas on this thing. And it told me, sure, give me a couple more prompts. And I was like, okay, here's some more prompts. And then I was like, that sounds like a really great idea.
Oh boy. It was very supportive. Very encouraging. That's nice. I'm super glad that you're friends with your AI. Thank you. Yeah, me too. Um, what? What are you going to say?
I just couldn't believe how supportive it was. I know that Justin next door on the hockey is named his, um, I can't remember what he named it, but he has named his AI, which I think is the next level. Yeah, I'm not going to name mine. Yeah, sure thing. It's fine. I just used it quickly for one thing. And then I was like, wow. Weren't you saying something, uh, over the weekend about using it and then it said something about me and you were like, how does it know that information? It knew your name. Yeah, that's weird, dude.
That's fairly. It only knows what you give it. So why are you telling your best friend about me? Well, listen, sometimes I have to go to an event. Is that right? You're right, Shantel.
Yeah. Josh is wrong. He's always been wrong. Oh, you're right about everything. Uh-huh. And I went chat GPT, you're the best.
Sure thing. I'm going to ask mine about this. There has been, I've seen people on tic-tac that are like, yeah, my husband and I got in an argument.
I typed in the argument to AI and it was like, it said yes. This person's right over this person. That's one way to settle an argument. I know. Except sometimes I bet it doesn't go your way and then you're like, no, AI is wrong.
Yeah, AI is still right. There's a lot of people that use it for their therapy, which is a little bit scary. I would never do that. Yeah. I mean, again, if it's just complimenting you, is that the right thing? I know.
Well, my therapist offered me a lot of compliments, but that's because I'm just awesome. Uh-huh. Okay. So I just asked mine, how likely is it that Chantel is correct about everything in conversation with Josh? Oh, here's, let's say. Statistically speaking, the likelihood that she is correct about everything in conversation is somewhere between objectively impressive and don't fight it just nod. So that's the advice it's given me is she usually does her homework even when she's technically wrong. She is often directionally right, which somehow still counts.
Yeah. How does Chantel know my name? Oh, it knows.
It says Josh may start with confidence, but then Chantel will bring in logic, tone and timing to the conversation. And that's a triple threat. Yeah. And let's be honest, winning the argument and being right are two very different sports, but Chantel excels at both. So is she right 100% of the time? No. Is she right enough of the time that Josh should choose his battles wisely and maybe think before responding? Absolutely. I love it. Chat GPT, you are my best friend.
In summary, Chantel isn't always right, but she's right often enough that the odds are never in Josh's favor. This is my own chat GPT. I knew it.
Chat GPT, you're my boo. Okay. All right. That's great. Enjoy your weird vacation with your AI chat bot.
Thank you. We're going to have a great time. Who will be doing all the planning? A chat GPT, of course.
That's exactly right. Who's going to be paying for it? Me. Ask. Ask Chat GPT. How will you be paying for this vacation?
You know what I mean? Oh, you got like 40 prompts before you get to house Chat GPT. Pay for it. You don't start with how are you going to pay for a vacation? Because then if he goes, well, how are you going to pay?
And then you go, no, no, no, not me. How are you going to pay? Says, I just asked the same way I pay for everything.
Pretending it'll work out. There it is. We were lucky enough to go to the museum on Friday.
This is a fact. We got to do like the fancy VIP Gala thing. I guess. Yeah. They have a new exhibit there called Life Before Dinosaurs. It is true.
Meet the Permian monsters. That's right. It was super cool. Yeah.
I like, they've got a lot of different, is animatronics the right word? Maybe. Yeah. I think that's probably the right word. I'd say so. They are really interesting.
And well, here's the thing that you and I have had a big discussion about. Scientists, archaeologists, paleontologists, all these types of folks, they discover bones. And then they go, okay, well, that skeleton is laying in that position. So that would sort of lend itself to believe this is the shape that the skeleton belongs in. So they reassemble and do casts and all that stuff to make these skeletons. But then you have to figure out like, what did it look like on the outside? Because this is the bones.
Right. So what did the skin and the, did it have fur? Did it have scales?
Was it feather covered? Like there's a lot of questions. And so a lot of things I'm sure get decided upon using evidence of whatever.
And then they make these creatures. And I'm telling you, some of them, we had some questions. And some of the questions were, are you sure that head goes with that body? Because you got to see it for yourself.
It's pretty incredible. Are you sure that's what their teeth looked like? I just don't know.
I think you're just making this all up. But it's so cool. And super interactive.
Lots of fun things you can, you can touch and get involved in. You sat down and you were brushing away some, some stuff on some different fossils that you were digging up. Oh, it was a paleo-intelligence.
Yeah. You were digging things up. That was pretty cool. So there's a lot to learn in the new exhibit at the Museum of Idaho. And coming up this morning, Kid Smarts is back.
Yes, sir. So coming up here in about 20 minutes or so, we are going to play Kid Smarts. And somebody will get a pair of tickets. That's right. So that's pretty great. You get to see the exhibit.
Here's what I noticed. You and I, we got to dress up. We went out. And then I wore a pair of brand new pants, like some slacks. Those were new? Brand new. Wow.
I had no idea. I got home, took off my pants. Still had the tag on them.
Still had the tag on them. That's awesome. And I went, cool, I can return these. I did not. I didn't even notice. Was it just one of the like tags on a little string? Yeah. Or was it a sticker down the leg? No, I'm glad it wasn't a sticker down the leg.
I've done that before too. Where everyone's like, mm-hmm. She's wearing that size. Who's ever said that?
No, not a person. But luckily the tag was tucked on the inside. So nobody got to see.
I hope that. You had new pants. I didn't notice. Okay, good.
Phew. Because the pants were black, tag was white. So you would have seen. And I had a long jacket on.
So I think I was safe. But, come on. I didn't even know that happened.
I know. I saved it for today to tell you. Well, that's funny. It is funny, isn't it? This is thinking about how funny that is. All night you're walking around with a tag. I know.
You didn't know. No, I got home, saw the tag and I went, I really could return these if I didn't like them. Did you like them? I did.
Okay, good. Did you? Did they look nice? Did you wear them?
No, I know. Did they look nice? Sure, yeah. They were nice pants.
It's fine. Some nice slacks, I guess. Some ladies pants. That's what they look like.
Black ladies pants. Thanks, Josh. You're welcome. You're absolutely.
See, this is why ChatGPT loves me more. Oh, is that right? I'm going to ask. Yeah, did I look good in those pants?
And it's going to go, you know what? Yeah, you did. I bet you looked great. It's going to give me much more compliments.
Except for the tag that was sticking out. How did you know? I'm sure that they're great. I like them.
They look like black women's pants. So good choice. Thank you, I guess.
You're welcome. You done complimenting me? Because it sounds like you're having a hard time. No, it's not you. It's the pants. I'm complimenting the pants.
You're great. You didn't ask about you. You asked about the pants. I'm asking about myself in the pants. No.
Yes. You said how were the pants? Josh, it goes without saying. You didn't ask about how did I look in the pants? You said how would the pants look? Those are two questions. You really are a computer. I have to give you the exact prompt. I'm just trying to give you the AI version of me that you will love. Well, keep trying.
Okay. Do you want to tell the story here? Oh, I'm just excited to see if you remember. I do.
You do. Uh-huh. You spent a long time yesterday trying to remember something that was said.
Here's what happened. We were kind of sitting around. We thought, you know what would be fun is to go bug our daughter. She's downstairs trying to watch.
I think she's watching a series of unfortunate events again. Uh-huh. And so we went, let's go bug her. Let's just go pester her. That sounds fun.
She loves it. So off we go. And one of the fun things to do is a little move called steamroller, which is where you steamroll a person who's totally comfortable. Yep.
Rolling your whole body over them. And it's a good time. So we started to steamroll, then things got a little crazy. Socks were being thrown around.
It was a whole thing. And then we have these giant beanbag chairs, like huge beanbags. I mean, kind of, you can't call it a chair. It's a giant pillow. They're huge.
Yeah. And one of them was kind of leaned up against the wall and you were like leaned on it. You two were wrestling, whatever. And you said, you can't take me.
I'm a mountain. Something like that. Uh-huh. And you felt like you were strong. Yeah.
Yeah. And then you said, a mountain of. And this is what you couldn't remember all day. You couldn't remember what I said you were a mountain of. And I said, you were a mountain of love. No. A mountain of friendship.
No, that's not what we said initially. You are a mountain of hugs. When Emery was trying to break me down and wrestle me, I said, you can't. I'm tough. I'm a mountain. And you said, a mountain of dumplings. You're a mountain of dumplings. That's what you said to me. And why do you think that's rude?
Josh? Dumplings are great. Who wouldn't want to have a mountain of dumplings? Everybody.
Everybody. This is a compliment. And then when I couldn't remember, then that's when you were like, yeah, you're a mountain of love. Yeah.
You're a mountain of kindness. That's right. That's maybe initially what you should have said to me. That's what I did say. But no, you said you're a mountain of dumplings.
Right. What is a dumpling made of? Flower. Well, it's more than just that.
What else? Well, it's essentially, here we go with a video of how to make it. We got to just jump down to the recipe. There's some flour and baking powder, some sugar, some salt, some butter and some milk. So that's if you're just making like, you know, a ball, a dumpling ball. But aren't there like stuffed dumplings? I don't know.
Sure there are. But why was that the first thing that you would say? What was that?
Yeah, I was thinking about like pot stickers. Okay, time to go back. Why would that be the first inclination of something that you would say to your wife, who you claim to love? I do. I do.
What are you talking about? Why? These are so good. They're great.
This is because it's just because that's all. A mountain of dumplings. Yeah, I could go for a mountain of dumplings right now. Well, too bad. Well, doesn't that sound good? No, it doesn't. No?
No. I think it sounds pretty great. They're delicious.
And I said to you the second you said that, I go, you are the one who is supposed to love me the most of anyone. And dumplings are great. It's not mean. Yes, it is mean. No one wants to be called a mountain of dumplings. But so mean. No, listen, this is a very unique term of endearment.
No one else has ever been called a mountain of dumplings. Not that anybody wants to or doesn't. No one else has.
And that is unique and special. I don't want to be a dumpling mountain. Why? It's so rude. It's so mean.
It's not meant to be. Oh, okay. Shut it down.
It's over. We had two separate parties on Saturday that we needed to go to. One was a baby shower. Couple of social butterflies. And one was a going away party for some friends of ours.
We've lost another friend. To boys. To boys. To boys. I know. What's the deal?
This is the second set of friends we've lost to boys in the last six months. Yep. And I don't care for it. Everybody's moving away. Yeah, I don't like it.
As we were deciding what to wear, I was changing clothes in between the baby shower. Right. And the going away party.
Right. And you said, well, I wasn't going to change. I was just going to wear the one outfit all day.
I'm going to just wear a T-shirt and jeans for both parties. Right. Yeah. I was not planning on, you know, a wardrobe change midday. It's okay. It's fine. Fine. You did great.
You did great. Was it necessary? No. Did I need to?
No. I feel like both were pretty casual affairs. Both were very casual affairs. It was fine. Okay. It was great. I just thought it was funny that you were like, I'm just going to wear this for both things. And I went, okay.
Yeah. Don't even try. Did I do something wrong? No, you did it. Like, is that not what I should have done?
No, I'm just giving you a hard time. You did fine. You looked great. Because I feel like once I got dressed, I was good to go for the day. Okay. Did you feel comfortable? Sure. You felt fine at the baby shower? Fine.
I didn't feel uncomfortable. Now, we had a baby shower for a family member. And then you had planned on going. And how many times do you think I said, are you sure you're supposed to go?
Yes. Because those are typically reserved for just women. But I had a whole conversation. So it's okay.
I didn't know that part yet. Right. And you just, I just kept asking you. Yeah.
No, it's all good. Are you sure? Yeah. Are you sure you're supposed to be going? Yes.
And you just kept saying, yeah, I had a whole conversation. Very true. It's all going to be good. It was a fun time though.
Yeah, that was good. And then the going away party was more food than I think I've eaten in a very long time. It was a feast. Yes. And all good food. Yes.
And then sad hugs and goodbyes, which was not great. Done. I know. Like, what are we doing? Why aren't we just having a nice time? We did have a nice time. I mean, but like after this, why can't we just have more nice time?
See you next weekend. Yeah, exactly. Nope. Got to say, see you when we see you. Rude. I'm sick of losing our friends to Boise. Well, we're just going to have to make all these trips to go see everybody or we're just going to have to go like one or two trips a year and go, hey, we're in town. So if you want to see us make it about us instead of about going to see other people. Hey, you moved.
We're coming to town if you want to see us. Try that angle. I don't think that's going to work.
No. Well, I mean, it might, but that's I don't think that's the way people that move like clear across the country or whatever, whatever, they'll come into town and be like, Hey, I'm here for a week. We'd love to catch up with everybody. You know, that kind of thing. Yeah. Yeah. I see that happen.
That doesn't feel rude. It's like an announcement. It's difficult to see us. We're making it easy by arriving in your town. So if you want to see us, reach out.
You know, that kind of thing. That feels like I don't, I don't think that's rude. Okay.
That's okay. But what would I wear the same outfit to see everybody or to have to change in between groups? You probably have to change. I don't know if just a jeans and a t-shirt would be covered. Because certain people are going to have different expectations of what I look like. I will say that at the, you said we had a feast and at the, at the going away party, we have a friend who makes really delicious food. They, all of our friends make delicious food, but her soup is something that Emory talks about all the time.
That is correct. And she's like, mom, you should make that taco soup that Jen makes. And I'm like, okay, my taco soup is very similar. She said to me the recipe and I'm like, yeah, this looks exactly like my recipe. Nope, it's different.
I know it's different. So every time I go, oh, I know this isn't Jen's taco soup, but maybe you can choke it down. It was good food. I made a macaroni salad that I felt went really well. You made a dessert that was delicious.
I'm still eating that because there was some leftover. Good stuff. Ribs.
Good times. Have you ever tried to have a serious conversation while you're eating ribs? I watched you try to have a serious conversation while you had barbecue sauce on your face and on both hands.
How'd it go? I was just telling somebody how much I appreciated his help on something and here I am with a rib in my hand. You were pointing so much.
Yeah, it means a lot. Let me go. I'll lick my fingers. Eat some more rib. That's a challenge. It is definitely not easy to have a serious conversation while you're eating ribs, but you did it. I made it happen. You did it. So good job. Some sad news.
I didn't know about this until my friend told me about it and then I did some research. So there were two eagles in Big Bear Valley, Jackie and Shadow. Last year I got really into watching them hatch their eggs. That's right. And Sonny and Gizmo, the little eagles. Yes, and then they fledged and they went away and we don't know where they are, but they're out there doing big eagle stuff.
Yeah. And then Jackie and Shadow this season have laid two more eggs. That's right.
And then my friend told me that the eggs did not survive. Yeah. He got the news before you.
He did. And it informed you that there had been an incident in the nest. Yeah. And apparently from your research, we were able to find out that Jackie and Shadow left the nest for like an undetermined amount of time.
Like they were gone for like three or four hours, which is uncharacteristic. Correct. Of eagles when there are eggs in the nest. So that was strange behavior. Right. From what you could understand.
But then upon returning, they found an empty nest essentially, broken eggs and some ravens or some crows had gotten in there and had attacked the nest. Yeah. Yeah. Watch the video. You said don't watch it. I said I'm not going to watch it. I said I'm curious.
I'm really curious to know. Yeah. So what it appeared was, I don't know. Again, they're trying to all the Big Bear Valley Eagle experts are trying to figure out what happened. But it appeared as though one of the eggs was cracked before once Jackie had left the nest before the ravens had entered the nest.
Gotcha. And so I think maybe she might have already known that they were compromised maybe somehow. So then she was like, well, have at it? I don't know. It's strange.
Strange circumstances. So something else to point out is that now the nest has been empty for the past 12 hours at least. Like there's no one's been in the nest, which is also sad. Because it was really strange. The video I watched, she came back and then she kind of nestled down like everything was fine, but it was clear. Yeah, things weren't right.
Nothing was fine. Right. Yeah, it is super sad news. So, you know, as is the circle of life. This is nature.
This is real. They are saying that she is still fertile, so she could lay another clutch. Okay. So there's a chance there could be another egg or two.
Possibly. Still this season. They were laying really early, and probably because of the abnormally warm weather, they normally, I mean, last year, if that was any indication of things, they weren't laying eggs this early.
They weren't laying them in January. So that's interesting. Yeah. So we'll see what happens, but at least for now. It was very sad when she came back and realized what had happened.
I don't know. It sounded like she was crying. A pigeon just landed. That is not an eagle. That is not an eagle. That's not a Jackie shadow. Nope.
It is a pigeon. Sad news. Yeah. Sad eagle news. We were told this weekend that we are the late people. You love it about that thing about us. Here's the thing. You told me that this is my fault, and that you are a punctual person. I am. And that you love being known as a punctual person, and that ever since we've been together for 20, whatever years it's been, that you've been the late person and you hate it. I don't like it.
Okay. But why am I making a slate? Somebody said they said- How do I make a slate? I don't know why, because you're so, I don't know.
I don't know why you make a slate. Because I feel like time, I'm like, I'm always way over prepped. I'm always ready to go. I don't feel like I'm dragging my feet to get out the door or anything. I don't think you drag your feet to get out the door, but I think you don't account for travel time a lot of the times. And so when I'm like, we've got to leave at this time to get there by this time, you got, no, we've got plenty of time.
It doesn't take that long to get across town. And then I go, yes, it does. And then we leave when you want to leave because you're normally the driver. And then I go- But again, I don't think we're like sitting around, like looking at clocks going like, boy, we should probably get out of here. Like I don't, I just think like we leave when we leave. I don't know. I don't feel like it's a- You leave when you leave.
Communicated thing. But I also don't stress about time. Like- Exactly. Like I'm not looking at it going like, oh boy. That's exactly the problem.
Right. Because I can't control time. Because I know when the party starts and I know when I need to leave and I know when I need to start getting ready by and I know, I know I work on a clock. And I go, okay, we have to leave. The party starts at two.
They live further out. So we should probably leave our house about 1.30. I know that I need to start getting ready about quarter to one.
Okay. So that we can leave by 1.30. And then it just doesn't, it falls apart because you're like, no, that's too early. Yeah, we could leave at 1.40. I bet we'd be fine. We left at 1.40. We were still five minutes late. Five minutes.
Doesn't matter. That's not, the party started at two. That's five minutes late.
205. But that's, we weren't the last ones to arrive. Doesn't matter. We're still late.
All right. The person who told us we were late said that we, I can't even remember what we were talking about. We were talking about a different party and they said about 30 minutes later, we'll expect Josh and Chantel. And they went, why 30 minutes? That was very upsetting. And I said, I don't, 30 minutes feels way late.
I don't want to be known as the late people, but people now know us as the late people. How do you correct it? Let's figure that out. I know how to correct it.
How? We drive separately. So you arrive when you, when you feel like is, is your time to go. We arrive on time.
Yeah. You show up and I go, I don't, I don't know why he's late. He doesn't know how to keep track of time. All I do is keep track of time.
It's my whole life. I got clocks here. I got clocks here. I got clocks here. I got, all I do is time.
Maybe that's why it's like the shoemaker's kids had no shoes. I got all I do is time. Yeah. So then I'm like, forget about it. Time is just time. Yeah.
I don't need it. You know, maybe that's what we do next time though. You drive separately. And then I go, okay, I'm going to leave it this time. I'm not even going to tell you when I leave. I'm just going to leave at the time that I think is appropriate. And then you show up when you show up and I'll be like, I've been here for 10 minutes. Nice of you to show up.
Yeah. I'm like, why did you get here 10 minutes early? And then everyone will know who's actually the tardy one. How weird this is.
This is strange. What, to arrive at a place on time? To arrive separately. It's fine. Okay. I'll say it's a test.
Oh, how fancy. They'll get it. They'll understand. Okay.
I don't know. I feel like maybe we could just say like, hey, let's plan on departing at this time. Because I don't think that ever gets said. Like maybe it's a communication breakdown. Maybe one of us should go, I'm planning on leaving at this time.
I'll be in the truck with the thing running. Like let's move out. I do feel like it's gotten worse with kids. Yes. Agreed. With one kid in particular.
Well, because either way, the other one is not. Yeah, I understand. But I think like even when you have little kids, then it's harder to be on time to things because you have other things you have to take care of getting people ready. Yes, but I feel like I was still on time even with my little kids because I knew how long it would take to get my little kids ready.
Yes, I don't work like that. No, I know. I'm full aware. I just go with the flow a little bit. I know.
Yeah. And the reason that we're always late is because of you. Going with the flow? You should try going with the flow.
You should try being more on time. Let's have some flow. We're just gonna go separately next time.
All right. It'll be interesting to see because I might be done and ready to go way before. You're always done and ready to go. Right.
You're just having it hot through the house. Like what's the delay? You start a game and on your phone, you're reading something on your phone. You're just sitting on your phone.
But I don't feel like you're like standing there going like tapping your foot. Like we got to get out of here. Like I feel like if you were like ready, you'd be like, we should go.
I'm like, all right, let's go. I'll know the roadblock. You know? You have to see what that is.
Because if you just disappear, and then I'm like, well, I guess she left, I was ready to go. But nobody said anything. I think it's communication breakdown. That's what I'm saying. It's always communication breakdown.
Somebody's got to say, hey, we're leaving at this time. Wheels up. All right.
Then I'm going to start saying that next time. Wheels up. We got to go. I'm going to leave. We need to leave by 130.
To get somewhere or two. Okay, that sounds like an excellent time to leave. That's what I'll say. That sounds like an excellent time to leave. That's exactly what I'll say. Or I'll go, you sure? We could leave at 140.
And then we'll be fine. We were in a store and you were miles away from me. And I heard a sneeze and I went, that's Josh.
Josh is still in the building. And I recognized or realized, rather, that I can recognize you by your sneezes. It's the same kind of situation where when our babies were little, I knew them by their cries.
Like if there was a cry in the store and I was far away, I could hear them and know it was my kid. Are my sneezes that unique? I think I've just heard them enough that I'm acquainted with them. I'm acquainted with your sneezes.
I know it's loud. And I don't like it when I have to sneeze because it's never one. It's never like, there's, you sneezed, you're good to go. It's a lot of sneezes. Yeah, you have a lot of sneezes.
But I think it's just the same. If you spend a lot of time with people, you, like, because I could tell you how my coworker sneezed too. Interesting. Is anybody like really good after it? Yes. Oh, really? Somebody's a big sneezer. Yes.
Okay. Because I feel like I'm a big sneeze. You are a big sneeze.
My sneezes, they take my breath away. Like it's, and people are like, you don't have to sneeze like that. And I'm like, I don't know another way to sneeze. This is how my body reacts when I have to sneeze.
I can't stop it. Like it just, this is the noise it makes and it happens. It's not like I go, you know, like some people get a little crazy, but it's a loud sneeze for sure. Yeah, you have a loud sneeze. My dad had a really loud sneeze. Dads just in general have loud sneezes. Yeah, well, dads are just loud. I guess. Do you sneeze differently when you're alone?
What does that even mean? Like if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear, does it still make a sound? Do you sneeze louder when there's people around because you want people to notice?
No, but that's why whenever someone sneezes around me, I yell the word fake. And I've been doing that for years. You haven't done that for a long time. It's a bit I borrowed from a buddy from, forever ago. Yeah, you've been doing that a lot.
I mean, this is 20 years of this. Every time somebody sneezes, I go, fake, there was somebody. Where were we the other day? You were, it was a total stranger. We were waiting for some food and she sneezed and he went fake.
Oh, no, no. It was during the dress fitting thing is when it was. When Emery was trying on a dress.
Oh, yeah. And some other person sneezed and I said, fake. And she thought that I had said, fake to her, which by the way, it's, it is a complete subconscious reaction at this point because it's the first thing that happened. I hear a sneeze.
I say fake. It's, it's Pavlov's. It's immediate.
Okay. But my question is, because you haven't answered, do you sneeze louder when there's people around? Like, are you a no silent sneezer when no one's around? I'm curious to know. I actually think I sneeze louder when I'm alone. Do you?
Yeah. I sneeze more quietly when there's people around because you don't want people to look at you or what? Because sneezing is the best. I agree. And that's why when I'm alone, I'm like, yeah, let it out.
Yeah. It's nice. I like to sneeze. I don't, I don't love it. I hate that it's like 20 sneezes, but, but it's great.
It is great. Like the buildup is awful. But then when you get that big sneeze, boy, oh boy. Well, that's why I get so mad at you because sometimes I'll be ready to go for a sneeze. Oh, I do like to do that. You usually get one out and then you'll be like, ready to sneeze again and you do this thing with your tongue or you put it in your cheek and you go, huh? Ready?
Are you go, huh? Working on the sneeze? And then when I see it, I go, no more sneezes for you.
And then they go away and you go, but I wanted to sneeze again. Yeah, you've ruined it. Yeah. Sorry. I don't think you are.
Oh, it's a fun game for me. You're delightful. You are. I know. Delightful.
Yeah. But the whole fake sneeze thing is, uh, because it catches everybody off guard and they're like, why would I fake a sneeze? And then, you know, it's because you wanted attention. You wanted everybody to look at you at that moment. So you were like, I'm going to hurry and fake a sneeze or you'll, or you know, they'll go, why, why do you think I faked the sneeze? And you go, I don't know. You tell me why you faked a sneeze.
You're weirdo. I can tell that was a fake sneeze. They're like, that wasn't fake.
Sound fake to me. It's so rude. People don't like that. No, you're terrible. Why? You're terrible human beings.
No, no, I'm a great, great guy to be around. A lot of fun. Fake sneezes and all.
That's all. But it is so subconscious now that like I hear it, it's immediately fake and all yell. Like if I hear somebody sneeze down the hall, I'll yell fake. Yeah. It's just the way it goes. You do that. That's the thing.
So just know, if you ever sneeze around me, I'll call you out. Delightful. Delightful.
He is delightful. You're really into Wyoming right now. I am learning a lot about Wyoming.
Yeah. I don't know a whole bunch about the terrain and the river systems. And so I'm trying to do some research.
Yes, that is true. Okay. I've checked out some books from the library. I've been reviewing some maps. I've been, I'm doing sort of two, two deep cartography studies at once, which is something I have found great passion in, which I think is interesting. I really dig maps. I know you do. And topography and stuff.
It's fascinating to me. You could be a cartographer. I don't want to make maps. You just want to study them?
I just like, I like planning out trips and trying to find things on maps and stuff. I don't know. Here's what's going on. 2025 was the year of the Utah cutthroat slam for me. And I still, I'm going to go back. My cousin has one more fish to catch. And so I'm going to go back and I want to fish with him. And then 2026, I've declared the year of the Wyoming cut slam.
And so I'm, I'm trying to plan where to go and, and how to break it up and how far to go and what river systems certain fish live in. So yeah, I know big yawn, big yawn stuff. No, I'm not yawning because of that. It's just tired. Yeah.
No, it's fine. It's, it's very interesting to me. So I've been learning a lot about some of these river systems and stuff and they're where the conservation efforts are happening. And through the process, I've also been learning a lot about what's been going on in a lot of the Idaho wilderness and forests and stuff. And then stacking on top of that, a multi-day backpacking trip that I'm working on for the scout troop. And there's just so much, there's so much great map to explore. And I've got digital maps and print maps. I'm looking at all kinds of things and I'm watching videos. It's kind of consumed me as of the past couple of weeks.
Yeah. A lot of maps of Wyoming and Idaho. I'm gonna start looking into Montana soon. Do you think you were, there's good stuff in Montana. You were checking out all these Wyoming books from the library the other day when we went. And then I maybe wonder if librarians ever look at different people's accounts and go, this, this person's really into Wyoming right now. Yeah, I don't know. Well, this person is really into true crime.
True. I wonder if they ever, there's like flags. That's a good question.
Do they have like, if they check out these four books, it's a trigger in the system to go, we have to call somebody because these four books combined knowledge is too much for one person to possess. That's interesting. I don't know. I don't know if they have systems like that. That's a good question for a librarian that they probably don't get asked a lot. I want to ask that.
Yeah. And then I want to know, like, maybe it's a Wyoming book and maybe it's something else. And I like, oh, this guy's checking out too many maps.
I don't know. This guy's looking at too many maps. I had to find different sections of the library I didn't know existed.
That was neat. Because you go into like nonfiction and I'll find what I'm looking for is my reference material and stuff. And then I was looking for a set of maps that were held in the oversized shelves. Yeah. Yeah.
That's where they keep the big books. And so I had to get a couple of those as well. So it's been, it's been fascinating. And I wanted to get, I have one, the one of the ones that I checked out, I have an older version of it.
I wanted to compare the two. So I'm excited to do that as well. Look and see, like, okay, here's the version I have. And this new version specifically in different areas, like have trails changed? Is there different access now versus then? Was there better access then that's now been closed off? Like those kinds of things are fascinating.
As you look at historic maps, what's changed in where things used to be versus where they are? That is cool to me. I don't know.
Something that I didn't think I would be like super geeky about, but I kind of like looking at maps and stuff. I know. I know that about you. And then you tell me about them. Yeah, do you want me to tell you about them? No, you were telling me about some of the maps yesterday.
And you were like, Oh, hey, this canyon holds lots of 15 inch trout, but that way can be a struggle. Is that what I said? Yep.
And then you were laughing because you said it sounded like I was reading like restaurant reviews. The Zagat sky. Yeah. Trout tend to key in on Yellowstone sally's when present. So arm yourself with a few humpies in the early summer. That's right.
Just yellow sally's. But yes. What did I say? Yellowstone sally, which isn't a thing, but yellow sally. I said yellow sally's. Yeah. That's what I said.
Yeah, the Yellowstone sally in there. But that's okay. It's all good.
Keep your fly selection basic. Yep. Yeah, you were telling me about that. And I went, Oh, the terrain can be treacherous.
Watch out for rattlesnakes here. That's right. I mean, all that stuff is important. Right. It's very important information. It's just you kept reading it to me.
And I was like, four out of five stars, 10 out of 10 customers agree. Right. This canyon here is a treacherous climb in. Oh, that's right.
But the fishing and waiting is worth it. Oh, wow. Yeah. Well, I'll do some more and I'll get you some more updates because it sounds like you're into it. I so am into it. All right. So would you rather this or that? Would you rather be the planner or the spontaneous one? Oh, I think we've each taken turns. Sure.
One or the other at different points. Yeah. We had a conversation about how we aren't necessarily being spontaneous as we once had been. Where we'll be like, we should go do something. But then nobody is like, okay, I'll get the bikes out or, all right, here's all the dog leash and harness. Let's go for a walk. Like we go, we should do something and then don't.
And that's a sad thing. So we need either spontaneity or planning because we're not doing either. I think we just need someone to lead the charge.
Yeah. And none of us want to do that. I feel like I've been the lead the charge person for most of the time. I want somebody else to do it. I've heard that from you. I want somebody else to be like, hey, I plan this fun thing for us. Because it's always me. Yep.
Hint hint. Who are I have to work on that? Yeah, you will. So I'll be the spontaneous one. Okay. Been working so far, I suppose. Yeah.
Keep on keeping on. That's right. No change is good change. Is that what they say? Is that a thing?
No change is good change? Yeah, I think so too. Well, what are you picking? I'm going to be the spontaneous one.
Two spontaneities. No, you're going to be the planner. Now, I will say when we go on trips, you are the one that's like, I got our flights. I got our room.
I know our travel accommodations. Right. You're good at that part. And then I'm the one that's like, let's go do this fun thing. Let's go do this fun thing. Right. Or let's just have a day where we just kick around and see what we can see.
That's what I'm saying. We need a kick around day of just everybody being spontaneous. You can't just have everyone be spontaneous. Somebody's got to plan something.
No. Someone's got to be the planner. What if everybody just goes, I don't know what I'm doing today, but it's going to be something. That's what we did yesterday. And now they go. We're going to end up doing nothing. Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, that doesn't work. No. All right, let's talk just real quickly here before we wrap up the show a little bit about the Grammys last night, because I have seen some stuff in my feed. It didn't watch them. It wasn't like, oh, it's Grammy night.
Everybody come over and watch the Grammys. I think it used to be a bigger deal. And I think the reason that it used to be a bigger deal for the Grammys or any of the other award shows was that you didn't have exposure to these people outside of the award shows and the movies and performances and the music videos and the things that they made. Yeah. So you didn't get to see them all the time.
Right. So it was like, what are they? What do they look like?
What is their life like? It was a fascination. But I think because of social media and the access to people and the amount of tabloid stuff and all of that, I think the exposure to celebrity has gone so high that you're like, you know, who cares? Yeah. That's the feel. Right?
I'm kind of that same boat. Like congratulations. It's a big deal for your industry. Don't discredit the awards and the accomplishments. Great.
Right. But why the spectacle? Well, and then I was looking at some of the outfits. Yeah. Like Heidi Klum's outfit.
What are we doing? What was she wearing? Like half of a doll over her body? It was strange. It was very strange. She couldn't walk. She couldn't even sit. Yeah. How was she going to use the restroom? And I'm telling you.
What are we doing? They wear this stuff on red carpet. They go into a backstage area.
They change and then they wear more comfortable thing to sit in for hours during the award show. I think it's dumb. Yeah. Chapel Roan was basically wearing henna tattoos. Yeah. That's what it looked like. There was some, I don't know if you can call it that. Some sort of fabric drape. The bottom half was covered.
There was drapery and henna tattoos. I really did think that the Aussie tribute with postie was really cool. Did you watch the whole thing? I watched the whole, whole thing. I did just see a couple of clips, but I think that's really neat. What else did you see? What else did I see?
I saw Cher kind of make a fumble. She was presenting Kendrick Lamar's best record of the year. And the record of the year is Youth Luther. And she said, and the award goes to Luther Vandross.
Oh, well, no, that's not it. And at the Grammys, she did. Yeah, which was pretty cool. And Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails got best rocks on it.
I know you like Trent a lot. Was he there? Did you see him? Was he wearing a small black shirt like you like?
I didn't see him, but I'm going to go look now. I bet you are. Billie Eilish making some headlines with her speech and her win, which is really cool. The Cure one too. Yeah, you said that too. Which I, they put a new album out, so they won best alternative music album and best alternative music performance. So I got to go check that out. Because I love the cure.
Okay. Who else? I mean, Bad Bunny, who's about to take over the Super Bowl halftime show. He won a ton. Yeah, I did. Nate Barketsi won the best comedy album. Excellent.
Love, Nate. Yeah, we saw him. Yep.
That's really cool. But this also, I know that Kendrick has now become the biggest awarded Grammy rap artist of all time. He beat Jay-Z's record Did he really?
Last night. So he is the biggest recognized Grammy rap artist in history. Yeah, so congratulations to Kendrick. No, but I tell Kanye West.
Well, I don't know where Kanye is but yeah, he'll defend somebody, I'm sure. Yeah. So that's pretty cool. But anyway, there's a lot of winners. So congratulations to all the winners and all the nominees for great work that you created. It's a big deal.
And I want to recognize the awards. I just don't think that all the hype and pomp and circumstance is as necessary as or as consumed as it once was. Agreed. For whatever reason. Yeah.
I have my own theories, but you know, whatever. There you go. Congrats to the winners. All right, that's going to wrap up our show. Have a great Monday. We'll see you back here tomorrow. Hey, don't forget more KidSmartz tomorrow and all this week with the Museum of Idaho.
