Full show transcript:
Hey. Here's something to think about. Hey. What's that? When you eat peanuts, you're making peanut butter in your mouth with your teeth.
Did you know that? Cool. It's true. Just crunching up peanuts, making little bits of peanut butter in your mouth. Crunch it up, spread it on some bread.
I'll just spread it on my teeth and then go yum yum yum yum. Hey. It's Friday, April 4. Go with mom to the grocery store if you want treats. That's good.
Have fun. That's a little life hack. Come on. Go with her. You want the girl who wants to go to the store?
Go with her. There's treats? Just go with her. Somebody go with mom. She's a good mom.
She's a clean mom. I'm a scientist or some kind of fancy dancer. Mostly a fancy dancer, not so much a scientist or a research analyst. There's no lab coats. There's no experiments.
Yeah. Okay. We've got a World War one expert in the house. This is true. Ask her.
She'll know. She'll tell you. She'll tell you. She'll know. We're in a disagreement about the more you know, jingle.
Right. I know exactly what it is, and you don't. I think that's how it goes. Josh dropped the dinner and other ruined recipes. Right.
That was a bad day. That was a bad day. Josh needs to move to Germany. Only if I wanna get the McRoop every day. And you do Look.
I can't eat it every day. Every day. No way. Like, when it comes around, I'm good for one. And the last time it came around, and I just remembered this, the last time it came around, I got one, but something came up, and I had to run somewhere in the middle of, like, when I was supposed to be enjoying it.
By the time I got to eat it, it was gross and cold. Aw. And so I didn't even get to enjoy my one McRib in the past twelve months. I'm so sorry for you. I know.
Me too. Remember chore charts? Yeah. Those are great. Love tracking.
My fancy house and the TV guide. You had the TV guide in your fancy rich house. Occasionally. Your mansion that you lived in. I'd tell.
Yeah. Morning bird songs are the best. Aren't they great? Who was the first person to try kidney transplant? Conflicting reports online.
Couldn't tell you which one's real. Forget eagles. We've got baby owls. That's right. And this weekend is filled with work and weekend projects.
Oh, what I should've said after the owl thing was who? Aw. But I missed it. But I still got it in there. And then weekend projects.
Yeah. And work. That sounds like a fun Friday evening, Saturday, and Sunday. I know. Right?
Yahoo. Yahoo. This is, wake up classy 97, the podcast. We are Josh and Chantel. This is episode two zero five.
Oh. I know. Tesco. Yeah. Buenos Dias.
Well, hello. Good morning. Howdy. Have a good day. How are you?
Oh, I'm fine. Yeah? Because it's a Friday. Yeah. That's true.
That is true. Yep. Well, see you later. Alright. Later.
I don't know what's up, with today. What's up with today today? I I don't know. I mean, it feels like a Friday, but it also just feels like it could be a Tuesday. Like, it's just a day.
No. It's Friday, my guy. What's Friday? Friday. Uh-huh.
It's exciting. It's a good day. Okay. It's a good day. I mean, I feel two full days off.
Not really. I know. It feels like you're just any other day. I gotta work all weekend. So I know you do, and I'm sorry about that.
I also have to work all weekend. Yeah. I've got a list of projects I wanna get to. That's not the same as having to be at work. I understand.
I do. But it's not like I'm gonna be gallivanting around town going like, oh, let's get a treat here and have some fun here. I got Bet. I got spring cleaning to do. Well, yeah, there's gonna be some treats in there to be sure.
I saw a a video yesterday. There was a a lady who said, hey. Listen. Kids, teens, when your mom says, hey. I gotta run to the store.
Do you wanna come with me? One, she wants to hang out with you. Yeah. And two, when she goes to the store, she's gonna get treats. Yeah.
And so if you go with her, you're gonna get treats. Mhmm. Emery doesn't necessarily come to the store much with us anymore, but there was a time when Beck wouldn't come. He was too old to go to the store. Mom, too old for that.
Emery would come. And then we we would come back with a treat, and he'd be like, what? Like, this is what happens when you go to the store. You get you get a treat. This is the payment for going to the store because everybody hates going to the store.
But when you go to the store with mom, you get a treat. I see. Because I gotta get a treat, and whoever was with me is gonna get a treat. It's, it's one of those little known things. So It is.
You know, if if you want to know a little bit more about why mom's asking you to go to the store, it isn't because she wants you to be bored going to the grocery store. She wants you to come and have a treat with you. Yeah. Exactly. Although, sometimes when I take Emory to the store, I spend a lot more than I would Uh-huh.
If I just went by myself. That's that is true because then she's got her own list of things she needs and wants. Oh, I need these goldfish. Oh, I need these cookies. Oh, I need these Capri Suns.
Oh, I need this. Oh, stop. Why are you eating so much? What are you? A a teenage athlete?
What are you doing? Well, it is Friday. Good morning. It's Josh and Chantel. We are in the studio live.
Hi. Good morning. I'm kind of a scientist. Oh, I can't wait to hear. Research analyst or something.
They found researchers did. Were you part of this team? No. So you're a consumer of Internet? No.
I've known about this my whole life. Alright. They found dancing is the best way to relieve stress. I've known that. I've known that my whole life.
Dancing in the kitchen? Yes. You haven't been dancing in the kitchen your whole life? Yes. I have.
You don't You haven't known me my whole life, have you? No. Okay. Okay. You?
Why are you coming at me hard? I'm not. You are. No. Kinda.
No? Yeah. That was pretty pretty soft. All I said was you haven't been dancing in the kitchen your whole life. Yeah.
But why we do that? You been dancing for a good portion of your life? Yeah. Have you spent time, putting on shows on the picnic table for the neighborhood? Yeah.
You have. Have you been dancing in the kitchen your whole life? No. It wasn't for the neighborhood. Those picnic table shows?
Yeah. They weren't for the neighborhood. Well, the neighborhood got to see it. Lucky. For free, I find that.
On a drill team? Yes. Yeah. I was. Did you do ballroom in high school?
Yes. Was the drill team or the ballroom in the kitchen? No. That doesn't mean I didn't dance in the kitchen also. The point is point is you've been dancing your whole life.
Yes. In the kitchen, not until we got our probably our own house. Bro, I've been dancing in the kitchen for a long time. At my house growing up, I danced in the kitchen and the living room all the time. My mom had a sweat into the oldies tape.
I danced to that in the living room. I danced all over my house. Still not the kitchen. The point I'm just trying to say your statement that you danced in the kitchen since you were a baby. I have, though.
The kitchen is a place to dance. Whatever. I'm I need to go dance it right now because I'm feeling stressed. Head on down to the kitchen. Dancing helps you relax.
I need some of that right now. What else does it do? Relieve stress. Relaxes and relieve stress. Yeah.
K? It's nice. Alright. Makes you feel better. Good deal.
And sometimes I've found that even if you don't think you're dancing very well and you might not be, that's okay. Are you still having fun? Yes. And sometimes if I pull out a wackadoodle move Sometimes? You said once upon a time that I dance or I move like lumpy cottage cheese.
Yep. Yes. I did. Yeah. You did.
It's well documented Mhmm. That you had, at the time, some pretty lumpy movement. At the time? Yeah. What was the time?
Oh, it's just when we talked about that a while ago. Oh, it's gone now? I didn't say that. I gotta go dance my way to the kitchen. Alright.
I need to feel relaxed. Okay. I'm still trying to figure out the part where you did the research or were a scientist because that was your initial claim. No. I have been dancing my whole life.
And then at one point, I was like, hey. I think this relieves stress. No. That doesn't make you the researcher or a scientist. Kinda.
That makes you a a random place dancer who feels good about it Yeah. Which is great. That is great. I guess I'll be that. Like, you weren't writing papers about the effects of dancing in different places.
Fine. Fair. Just dancing. So you're more of a test subject than anything else. Great.
But you also weren't part of the team. No one called Chantel and said, hey. Wanna be a part of our study? No one ever does. Thanks for repping that in.
What? I'll I'll be the test subject if you just ask. We're doing a test about dancing around different places, and we need I'll do it. All of your historic data. Yes.
From picnic shows to living rooms, bathrooms, and friends' houses. We need all the details. I'm your gal. Pick me. Alright.
The point is get out there and dance. That's the real the real message is it relieves stress It does. And relaxes you. When was the last time you danced? It's been a minute.
Yeah. It really has. So you should you could do some dancing. Easy. But Do I feel uptight, stressed out?
I just feel like dancing is a lot of fun. Well, dance it up. Come dance with me. Well, I'm right. Maybe.
Come dance with this lumpy cottage cheese. Oh, the smooth movements. Smooth movements only. Here's some good news to get you going today. There's a delivery driver in England named Leonardo Pinto Dantes.
Okay. And, this particular, delivery driver had a gut feeling on one of his stops, and he trusted it. Let me tell you what happened. He got to one of his regular houses that he does drop offs, at, and everything seemed normal, but no one answered the door, which was odd. And so he was walking away, and he said, I gotta go make sure everything's okay.
So he turned around feeling uneasy. He looked through the window, and he saw the resident, the customer that he was delivering to, face down on the floor. Oh, no. So he immediately called for an ambulance. Paramedics found the diabetic woman suffering from a dangerously low blood sugar.
The first responders revived the woman with some glucose, took her to the hospital to treat her dangerously low blood pressure. And while she was being treated, Leonardo put her groceries away. And when, she got to the when, she got out of the hospital, he visited her again and even brought her flowers. The woman published a letter in the local paper to express her gratitude. She said, Leonardo is such a wonderful chap.
I can't thank him enough. Oh, she can't. What a huge move. Right? It's always those gut feelings, though, where you go, is this, like, something that I'm making up?
Right. It's weird. I I'm just a delivery driver. It's weird for me to even check. Kudos to that guy for acting on the history.
Pinto Dontis. Way to go. More than just a delivery driver now. He's a lifesaver. Hero.
Hero badge. Yeah. Well done. Good job, Leonardo. Some good news to get you going.
We've got a World War one expert in our house. Apparently, we found out last night how far that reaches. Watched a movie. She's learning about World War one and history, so she's been a little bit fascinated. And so we decided we would, kind of, support that curiosity.
You've got books. We've got TV shows. We've got movies. We've got all all the access to all this stuff. And as we were watching one of the movies, she's cluing us in on who's who Yeah.
And what they're doing and why they're doing it. And it's really interesting. Yeah. I said, what's this about? What's this about?
She was like, oh, let me tell you. And she was, like, just rattling off what she knew, which was kind of exciting. Right. It's it's exciting when your kids get excited about learning stuff. Yeah.
Very, very cool. And kudos to her history teacher for making it exciting enough that she's paying attention and she's learning. And Both of the history teachers that she's had this, this year, she's had great, rapport with, which I think is great. And history is such an interesting thing that I didn't spend enough time with. Me either.
And and then as you get older, you go, man, there's actually a lot of really cool stuff I could've paid attention to, but I was too busy doing other stuff. You're too busy, but also your teacher does make a difference. I would agree. My teacher was not he was he was more there to be the football coach than to be the football coach. Is that right?
From my experience. So I was I was less than impressed by history because he didn't teach it in a way that was exciting. And I went, you just wanna get on the field. We all know it. I think I think my history teacher or or one of them anyway was the basketball coach.
But same same sort of deal, but I don't think he didn't have his head in teaching. I felt like he he did a fine job. But was also the coach. You just didn't care about history. At the time, yeah, I was like, this is, this is boring.
Well, I know all about Franz Ferdinand. Sure. Austria and how the tanks only went three miles an hour. Yeah. They only moved three miles per hour.
And yeah. I know so much about World War one. Amazing. Okay. What a historian we have.
I know. It's pretty it's pretty powerful. It is actually very, very exciting. And, and the more we learn, the more we, get to forget later, I guess. Because I thought you're gonna do the the rainbow thing.
Oh, the more you know. The more you know. We did the same we did a different Bing bing. Song. Yep.
How does yours go? I just did it twice. That's not how it goes. Are you sure? Bing, bing, bing, bing.
No. That's how mine goes. I bet it doesn't even have a noise. Yeah. It does.
No. Okay. We gotta do some research. Alright. We'll look it up.
And then we'll, we'll report back. Okay. The more you know. Boom. Bing.
Bing. Bing. Mhmm. I don't know. Well, it turns out I was right.
Are you serious? I know that it's easy. Most powerful five words I've ever said. Well, turns out I was right. That might be six words.
That's what I did. What I did. That is you only had three bing bings. I had four. Bing bing bing bing.
Yeah. But now it sounds like that because now you've heard it. Go back. Go back. Play it back.
I can't play it back. Oh, you can't play what we said back? Correct. Dang it. But I can play this, which is exactly what I said.
You did not. You did not. I'm pretty sure. I feel Oh. That I was right.
But I also feel that I was right. So how are we ever gonna decide who was actually right? I don't I don't know. People here's what makes me laugh about you and me. We know people who fight, the couples who get in fights.
We don't necessarily fight, but we these are our fights. This right here? Yes. These are the things that you and I have always argued about. When I was right about the sound and you weren't?
Mhmm. That type of thing? Mhmm. Mhmm. Fun.
I'm pretty sure I was spot on. I had the right notes. You're you're right. I had three. Yeah.
And you had four, but mine were the right notes. Yours were not the right notes. You had four random notes. I had three correct notes. I am gonna need to hear what you and I said again.
Mhmm. You might be all in the podcast. I know. You might be correct about the notes. I'll give you that.
I'm happy that you admitted that you only had three. Well, yeah. I can count. Congratulations. Yeah.
Thanks. Can we just agree to disagree? No. No. Ate that?
Well, I'm just gonna have to agree to disagree. No. We're just gonna disagree. We aren't agreeing on anything. We've we've reached a disagreement.
I realize also that I have easily pushable buttons. Is that right? Yeah. There are things that you can say, and you know Like, well, turns out I was right. Does that fire you up?
Yes. One more time? I think you do it on purpose. You like to get me What are you talking about? When?
Because when I you say when I clench through my teeth when Oh, it's hilarious. When you get into that, like, like, I'm I'm boiling over, and you start doing that, like, you know I'm right, and you your teeth don't move with your mouth. It's hilarious. Play it again. That I had the whole time.
Yeah. I saw something that said, I make a lot of mistakes in my life, but adding more cheese than what a recipe calls for has never been one of them. That's not true. I know. So that made me wanna talk about it.
I mean, this isn't even our fault. This is this is your brother-in-law who, was Dutch oven cooking, what, lasagna. Right? Yep. And, and the recipe called for a certain amount of cheese, but the whole bag went in.
And that was the cheesiest meal that we have ever eaten in our entire lives. It was good. I'm not mad about it. It was just so cheesy. I don't even think we I think he threw most of it away because it was so much.
It was a lot of cheese. It was just like cheese with a little bit of meat. Yeah. There was And some noodles. It wasn't much lasagna happening there.
That's for sure. But it was great. That was a that was a good campout. That was one of the, like, early, early campouts when we were first together. Yeah.
It was. And that's, that's alright. We got we always have the cheese Dutch oven lasagna. We'll always have that. And then it made me think about, like, other ruined recipes.
Okay. Has there ever been a recipe that you've ruined? Remember, we were making a Dutch oven chicken pot pie, and it, spilled on the way into the house after cooking for a very long time. It was being delicious, and it was on the way into the house and, and took a tumble. And then we didn't have that And we had people coming over for dinner.
Did we? Yeah. We invited people over for dinner, and that had been cooking, I mean, a good Not all day. Five six hours. Yeah.
Yeah. And then, yeah, you dumped it all out. I mean, that wasn't my fault. It wasn't. It's just one of those things that happened.
Not necessarily a a recipe that was ruined. That was a meal ruined. Yeah. But not a recipe. There was one time I was asked to make some soup for teachers at a parent teacher conference thing.
And I was scrambling to find the time to do it, and I was like, I'm just gonna make this potato soup that I've never made before. Oh, that's good. Try a new recipe. Always a strong idea. I remember what it was.
It was I was making a cheese. They were having, like, a baked potato bar or something, and I was gonna make a cheese. But, again, I had never made the recipe. And this particular Like a like a queso? Yeah.
When you said I was gonna make a cheese, I'm picturing you're out there milking a cow No. Like making cheese. Okay. Go on. It wasn't that.
What I should have done is just done the Velveeta and the Rotel or Ah. I should have done something simple, but I didn't. I was like, I've never tried this recipe. Let's do it for this group of strangers. Sure.
The recipe called for a lot of thyme. The t h y m e. Yeah. And I put some in there, and I don't know. It did not taste good.
Too too much time? I don't know. I don't know if that was the problem or what. It was not good. And the cheese and the milk that I had conducted, like, it wasn't blending together.
Did it it did that lumpy thing that happened? Coagulated situation. I've seen that where the the milk does, like, a curdly, clumpy thing. Yeah. I could not get it to mix, but I had also run out of time.
And so I was like The the recipe or the the seasoning? No. The tea I made. Just making sure. So sorry.
I remember being like, I don't want anybody to know that I brought this. And so I quickly, like, took it in secretly and was like, good luck. Did you get the whole thing back, or was it all gone? It was all cleaned when I got it back. Well, hey.
It must have been delicious. No. I think they're probably like, we gotta dump this out. We're not gonna feed this to her. I don't know what happened.
And then Like, they cleaned the crock pot and handed it back to you? Yeah. Oh, cool. Yeah. They they were like, let's Whatever this one is.
Just dump it. No one's gonna eat this. Sorry. I mean, at least you you tried. Sorry, teachers.
Sorry. That was a lesson to never try something new. Yeah. No. I On the night.
I would say, yeah, on the night, you gotta go with what you know. And I have ever since. Lasagna soup, tortilla soup, taco soup. Those really are my go tos. Yeah.
And the salad, like a dip. Yeah. The the peppers and beans dip. Yeah. I know.
I know. Yeah. But you do a buffalo chicken dip everywhere you go. Yeah. It's delicious.
So is the stuff on there? I'm just saying like, you get you get those are your go to. Those are your ones. I know people enjoy it. I know I can make it.
It's not gonna be, it's hard to goof off Yeah. Goof up. So, anyway, well done. For what? Soups.
You may have to move to Germany or Luxembourg. For what? Well Are you just kicking me out? No. You can move one of these two places, but you gotta go.
What what do you mean I can move there? Or I might have to. The McDonald's in those two countries have to make rib full time Come on. Year round. Let's go.
It's not a seasonal item. Shouldn't be a seasonal item. It should be available anytime. I've learned some things about the McRib. Yeah?
What'd you learn? I learned that it was introduced in 1989, and it was a permanent menu item until 02/2005 when it became a seasonal item. Because somebody got hired on as a marketing person and said, you wanna sell more of them, make it a novelty. Do you think they sell more of them, though, in the Yeah. Week that they have them versus if they have a year round.
Only make them available when pork prices are the lowest. It's not real pork. Yes. It is. It's real pork.
When is the McRib season? Whenever pork prices go down. Really? Yeah. There's not really, like like, peppermint comes out during Christmas.
So you can get peppermint seasoning during Christmas, and pumpkin comes out in the fall. When is the McRib season? So I have to look at the McRib, locator to find out, that February 14 was the most recent sighting in Denver, Colorado. Oh, okay. It came back just in time for Valentine's Day?
In in Colorado. Yeah. Take your Valentine out for a date to get a McRib. It's completely gone right now. There's no McRib available in The United States right now.
That's so sad. Gross. It's fine. It can stay away. Ew.
It's good. Okay. But here's what I'm here to tell you. The McRib, year long in Germany. Yeah.
It should be. We should have breakfast all day too. We had that for a minute. Why is it shaped like that? Because it's shaped like a McRib.
We did have breakfast all day for a while. Yeah. How come that went away? The pandemic. We had we had everything.
We had it all. Did we? Some might disagree with you. I know. I know.
We had, we had all day breakfast, though. That's for sure. And then it went away. Bring that back. Yeah.
And a dollar menu. Bring that back too. Yeah. What are we doing? What are we doing?
You know? I lived my college days on that dollar menu. Bring it back. Hey. You wanna go out to eat?
No. I'm too poor. Dollar menu. Yeah. McDonald's.
I know. Jack in the box had a dollar menu too. For a dollar. I know. He could rotate the two and be like I'm living like a king.
Seventy nine cent bean burritos. Long gone are the days. I know. How do college kids do it nowadays if they don't have a dollar menu? I mean, even Totino's isn't what it used to be.
Correct. It's way smaller, comes in a weird package instead of that terrible cardboard box. My favorite was when somebody said, I'll fly. You buy. And I was like, sick.
Then I don't have to pay for gas. Or No one ever said that. Yes. I did. Why do you always discredit everything I said hanging out with that said that?
Oh, my dorm buddies. Your dorm buddies said, I'll fly. You buy. Yes. No.
Are you kidding me right now? Why do you challenge everything I say? I'm gonna get on the horn. Oh, yeah. There you go.
There's another one. I'm texting my college friends right now. I'm gonna say, prove Proof. That somebody said, I'll fly you by. That was usually what was happening.
Like, I don't have any money, but I do have gas. So I'll drive. You wanna buy? You wanna buy me a McChicken? Yeah.
I will. No one ever around me in the entire existence of me except for you has ever said, I'll fly. You buy. I'm sorry. You were hanging out with losers.
But I also heard you say, I'll get on the horn. I know. Which, again, I'm gonna I'm gonna go ahead and call you out on. That's a that's a it's a one and done for you. I'm gonna get on the horn.
What's a one and done? That's it's a you only thing. That's just you. People say that. Do it the first time.
It's just you for the very first time. Who's it? Yeah. No one has said that for a very long my get on my horn. Why do they say that?
I don't know. Here's the thing that's happened this week. You've you've regressed into some old speak. Vava voom, for example. Yeah.
One. Next Get on the horn. Two. Next You'll fly all by. That's not old.
That's still that's still cool. No. It's not. The fact that I've said it here today Yeah. I'm bringing it back.
Oh, good. I am so excited. Kids that are listening are gonna be like, that's really cool. I'm gonna start saying that. She sounded something.
This old woman, she knows what cool is. No one's gonna say it. Well, I know. It's okay. It's okay if they don't.
You don't like it. I think you're I think you're a unique old soul. That's s o l e like a shoe. You're an old soul. Look at you.
Just being me. You're beaming. Do you remember chore charts? Yeah. We had several of those when we were trying to teach the children responsibility.
How do you think it went? You know, I we had the one from Melissa and Doug that had all the little magnets and stuff, and and I think that one was a little overwhelming. But I think that was also the one that seemed to get used the most. But that was when Beck when Beck was little. Like, he was between three and six, maybe.
Yeah. But that one seemed to work well, but it was complicated because every you could write in the chores, and then you would move the magnets through the days that you had done them or whatever. No. Yeah. It had little smiley magnets and stuff.
Yeah. There were magnets that had the chores, and then you could write in your own. Right. But you got to determine what chores. No.
I know. I'm just saying you did the the magnets on the thing. It was just a lot to track. It's too much tracking. I hate tracking.
Well, you weren't it wasn't for you. No. We had our chores on there as well because we felt like that was fair, and I hate tracking. Do you hate tracking? Yeah.
I do. My favorite is I read this thing that says, we're gonna give our kids gold star stickers for every toy they complete. And at the end of the week, we'll add up stars on the chart and then completely forget about the whole thing. That's exactly right. Yeah.
I mean, that that is the definition of good intentions is when you're like, I got this plan. We're gonna put this in place. We're gonna try this thing. It it's the same as a New Year's resolution. Yeah.
We had so many chore plans too. There was the magnet one, and then we had we were doing money in a bag. And then you could once you completed the chore, then you got the money. And then we were gonna just do an app for the chores. And It's too much.
It's it was too much. To help around the house. It was just too much to keep track. Here clean up. At least clean up after yourself or, hey, take out the garbage when you know that it's full.
Right. Also, today, I also noticed that the toilet paper is sitting on the counter Yeah. Again. I know. Put it on the roll.
I do all the time. Every time I walk in there, I go, oh, gotta put that back on. Why is it off on the knife? I don't know. Who am I living with?
It's it's that upstairs bathroom. That that place is a is a trap. I don't every time I go in there, I go, something's weird in here. The counter's wet. The toilet paper's not put on the thing.
It's a strange place. I don't like going in there. That's why I go to the other one downstairs. It's comfortable. I know where my things are.
Doesn't have a wet counter. It doesn't have a wet counter anymore. I've been No. I heard what you said. I've been dragging it.
No. You haven't. It's not even that wet. It's pretty wet. That counter is wet every morning.
I wanna brush my teeth, and I go, here we go. Gonna dry the counter before I can even do anything. There's nowhere to set my stuff down. This is just a puddle. Why is it so wet?
It's not. I really it's not that wet. It's There's a few splatters here and there, but you're making it sound like it's dripping there. It's real wet. I will have to show you.
I will call you in. Okay. And I'll go, this isn't a few splatters. Okay. Gus, come in.
I'd like to see it. Okay. Because here's what I do. I had to do it this morning. I washed my face in the morning, but I use a a makeup wipe.
I use a little pad. It's why is the the whole counter wet? I don't know if that's what I'm asking you. It doesn't do it itself. Are you serious?
I don't think it's that wet. Show me. I can't now. It's dry. Well, not at home.
The next And you're gonna be way too conscious about it, so you're gonna be like, no. See, it's not that bad. And go, yeah. Because you're thinking about it. In a couple weeks, it'll go by, and I'll go, come look.
This is what I'm talking about. It's crazy. I think you're doing it. I think you're just taking handfuls of water and dumping it on the counter. Because that's something I do.
Not it's not wet when I leave the bathroom. Yeah. It is. Yep. It is.
If we had his and her sinks Okay. The the the times you would be like, mine's all gross and wet. I'm gonna use his. It'd be high. Like, this one's gross.
I can't even put anything down, but look how clean his is. I'll use that. So it wouldn't be his and her sinks. It'd be hers and her sinks. You just have two sinks and a wet counter, and I'd still be using the one in the basement.
That's how that would go. So You're not wrong. Do you remember TV Guide? Like, the pay the print edition Yeah. That they sold in the, aisles at the grocery store.
Yeah. Yeah. Like, the little book. Yeah. And then you could look for the week to see what was on.
Yeah. And you'd be like, oh, when does Price is Right come on? Every day. I knew what time Price is Right come on. What time does this show come on?
That was exciting, wasn't it? Not really. Oh. I liked it. I think I I like, did you subscribe to it?
Did you have it at your house? We had it at our house. Yeah. I don't think we subscribed to it. You had to.
Wealthy, wealthy lady. Your color TVs. Yeah. Your TV guide. TV.
Canadian waters. In the one room in our house, the one TV. Fancy fruit roll ups. We didn't even get a microwave until Right. You didn't need one.
Why? Why wouldn't we have needed a microwave? Because every meal was home cooked. No. Yeah.
Home cooked from a box. Yeah. Listen. Hamburger healthy. No.
I don't think so. You never had a sandwich. Ew. Because gross. See?
We had homemade Sloppy Joes. Right? Tell me I'm wrong. Well, yeah, we had All the fancy cereals. No.
We had Grape Nuts. Right. And raisin bran. Two scoops of raisins in every box. That's not fancy.
How is that fancy? Fancy people's cereal. No. It wasn't. That was a Captain Crunch.
No. Those that was expensive. Mm-mm. My mom would never buy that. No way.
Captain Crunch was expensive and full of sugar. Right. And rips up the top of your mouth. Delicious. We had bran cereal.
Yeah. Great Fancy people healthy cereal. And bran. Mhmm. Yeah.
That we'd throw a bunch of sugar on Disney. Channel. So We did have the Disney channel. But that was only because we begged and begged and begged our mom to get us the Disney channel because they were showing a new kids on the block special. Yep.
And we beg actually, it was my sister who wanted it really bad, and she got whatever she wanted. Wow. Still does if we're being honest. Yeah. Well, it's what happens in fancy households like yours.
So listen. When it went digital and you could go to a button on your remote and say guide, when that was new technology, I did like that because I it stopped me from having to channel surf to find nope. I don't wanna watch that. Nope. I don't wanna watch that.
I couldn't afford it. I didn't grow up in a fancy house TV guide. So you'd flip through the guide when you hit the guide button, and you could scan like a TV guide. Right? Yeah.
But on your screen, and then you could hit go. And then when you and I were first, I don't even remember which apartment we were living in, but when we got the the ability to DVR Oh. That was a big deal. That was awesome. That was like, I don't have to, like, wait.
I can record it and watch it whenever I want. At certain times to watch the show I wanna watch. Set up a VCR or any of that. That was big time. We kept some stuff on our TV.
I was kinda sad to see it go because there was a there was our friend was living in New York. Our friend, John That's right. Was living in New York, and he got stopped on the street and asked about Madonna came out with a new record or something. Yeah. You got, like, an on the street interview about Madonna's new record.
What did he say? I haven't listened to it, but I think she's great. Something like that. It's fantastic. I like her work.
Yeah. It doesn't sound like anything Madonna's ever written before. Yeah. Yeah. It's fantastic.
We kept that on our DVR for a long time. We just go back and watch it just for fun. I'm sorry. I gotta find that clip. That went away.
I wonder if he still has that. I don't know. Send it over. I gotta see that clip. That's a great clip.
Anyway TV Guide. TV Guide. There it is. It was awesome. That was the best invention.
A print version of what's on TV was the best invention. For a time. And, after that subscription went away, what was the next one? I don't know. We there wasn't a subscription.
We didn't have it all the time. I just every now and then, my mom would pick it up at the grocery stand, and then I'd be like, sick. We got the TV guy for this week. What else was in there? They had, like, different articles and stuff.
Who? About what? I don't know. I'd listen. I like to read.
I was a reader. That's what I would do. So my mom would get Reader's Digest. Oh, really. Always.
We're subscribing to Reader's Digest too. Fancy library. And you had the full encyclopedia, not just some of it. We did. Yeah.
Come on. And you didn't even win it in a contest. Thruzzi. My parents still have that. I know.
Was is it World Book? Yeah. Yeah. A real fancy one, not Funkin' Wagnalls? Come on.
You sent me a video today I did. Of birds in their songs. That's right. Because I thought, first of all, I was really, fascinated by whoever did the video of that really captured those birds, which I was like, that's that's awesome. Bird songs in the morning, I thought, this is great.
I love the little bird songs, that we get to hear, like the robin and the, the little sparrow guys that we have. And then And the chickadees. Yep. I hear that one. Yep.
We have that. And then red winged blackbird. He's got a thing. And the magpies are alright. I I know you're not a big fan.
I don't know why you're not a big fan. Because they're obnoxious. Cool. Magpies? Scavengers?
Mhmm. No. And the crows? We got a lot of crows in there. I like crows.
What I find exciting is that it's getting warmer. And so at 05:30, when we leave the house in the morning Hear the birds. You can hear the birds. That's right. It makes me happy.
Same. That's why I shared that video. Simsies. Yeah. We also you have a bird feeder.
We have a pretty extensive bird feeder in the backyard. That's right. And you put it next to the bedroom. Yeah. Which I quite enjoy.
Yeah. Because, it was by the dining room, but the dog kept getting her lead wrapped around it, and she barks at them. And so I said, I don't want to have them afraid to come to the backyard. They're not afraid. So I move them closer.
But now what they also have is the lilac bushes right there. So they have a place to escape for shelter. Yeah. It's quite nice. I enjoy it.
Good job putting that bird feeder there. Yep. Good job birds for coming back after the winter. They do that. And then they know where to go to get food because we have it.
We need to get some more food. I do need to We also because we've been feeding the squirrel in the neighborhood. A couple of them. We gotta get some more squirrel. I know.
He comes every too early to go to the nursery, but this weekend would be a fun time to go to the nursery. See, I know because I know you do, but it's too early. You're a month early. It's okay Because I have other things that I wanna purchase. Not outside plants, but I wanna get inside plants.
And there's other things For where? For the table. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. And I can start planning the garden.
We can just go look at all of the plants. I gotta get the lumber and build the beds and get the soil and rent a little tractor. Yeah. All those things. Yeah.
I know. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. The project list that I I'm working this weekend.
I know. Busy. Take an hour. We can go to the nursery. Take three hours.
We can go to each of the nurseries. They all have different stuff. We'll see. I you lit up when I said nursery. I know.
Oh, the plants and the flowers and the pretty things in the dirt. I like all of it. I know you do. I know. Well, maybe.
We'll see what happens. How about The birds need us to do it, Josh. Oh, it's for the it's for the critters? Yes. It's for the yard critters?
Yep. Mhmm. I always wonder who the first person was to try something. Like chicken? Yeah.
Like, who's the first person that looked at that? Or a pineapple. Oh, sure. And somebody was like, yeah. I bet there's something inside.
Let's cut it open. I bet there's something inside. What's in that? Or a coconut. Yeah.
Okay. Let's give this a shot. Yeah. Emily. Gonna even open this.
Sweet nectar. So Emily asked us last night if people do, liver transplants. And we said, no. You can only have one liver. You only have one liver, so you can't I mean, there's They'll do liver transplant, but but you can't have, like, your liver removed.
Correct. You you will not She was thinking it was like a kidney, and you had two livers, and you could give away a a liver. Right. So then I started thinking about kidney transplants and how you can you can live a successful life while giving away a kidney. I say give it away like it's it's funny.
That's the way I'm saying it. Is there a better way to say that? Donate. Donate. There you go.
But that it's fine. So then I thought, who was the first person that was like, yeah. There are two of these. This person needs one. Can I like, you have to have two people?
So the first two people that were like, can I take this kidney and also this person? You wanna get this kidney and see if you'll live? Doctor Richard Herrick I know you would do the research. Was the first successful human kidney transplant. Really?
He was a doctor. No. No. No. Oh.
The first successful human kidney transplant was performed on Richard Herrick, an identical twin who received a kidney from his brother Ronald. It happened 12/23/1954. Really? On 06/17/1950, doctor Richard Lawler performed the first successful kidney transplant. Now this is a different person, so this is conflicting information.
Who's right? There are two different articles. This one is saying that it happened in 1950. Ruth Tucker was a 44 year old woman who had polycystic kidney disease, and, she had multiple fluid filled cysts typically, in both kidneys, and she was the first one according to this, article. So I don't know exactly who to Fascinating.
Yeah. The amount of trust that you would have to have in your doctor if he's like For real. Yeah. I think this is gonna work. And then you're like, yeah.
Okay. You're gonna put it where it belongs and get everything attached back together? Yep. Just trust me. Okay.
Here's here's something interesting. Fifty years prior to that, in nineteen o two, the first successful kidney transplant in a dog was performed Really? In Austria at the Vienna Medical School. And then they tried in seven years later in nineteen o nine, a first animal to human kidney transplant. And then in 1936, the first unsuccessful human to human kidney transplant happened.
But then it wasn't until the fifties that they had the first successful one. So that's interesting. That is interesting. That's fascinating. I always just think that's that happens in my brain where I go, who is the first person Right.
To do this? And the amount of, like, courage and guts that it takes to be like, yeah. To to have an idea and go, this is completely an experiment. Like, we don't know what's gonna happen, but we wanna give it a shot. That's that's wild.
Like, you think about the food thing, and you go, yeah. That's crazy. Like, somebody somebody has to have tried eating something that didn't go well. Like, those berries, don't eat them. Yeah.
Because that guy didn't make it. Because that's those are poisonous. Right. Or was he just allergic? You don't know.
But for a long time, people probably didn't eat it until somebody else went, I'll try it. And then the same thing happened, and they went, no. Don't eat those. Don't eat those. We said don't.
Those are poisonous. He wasn't just allergic. Right. That that's that's two two and o. We're not doing great.
So o and two, I guess, for the berries. Anyway, interesting. Yeah. Medical firsts would be a weird place. Scary.
And they're still happening. I know that. Day, they're still going like, let's see what happens. This. Yeah.
But we gotta have a living patient to try it, so just trust us. Yeah. We got an idea. Yeah. This is kind of a weird idea, but we want to try it.
But your life Yeah. You know? In a kidney situation, though, I wonder if it's like, look. This is a potential fix. If we do if we do nothing, this is the inevitable outcome.
If we try, we could reach the same outcome, or we could have a list of things. Right. So I suppose you gotta have those kind of conversations. Anyway Thanks for doing the research, Josh. I didn't do much because there was conflicting information.
But The Internet is full of conflicting information. Yeah. Yes. It is. Forget eagles.
We got owls. You'll never get over the eagles. Won't get over the eagles, but you showed me a video yesterday of some owletts that had been abandoned. There was a whole story about an owl who was what did they call it? Nesting?
What do you She, yeah, she was nesting her eggs. But her her eggs were lifeless. They were not they did not they did not hatch. They didn't incubate properly. Something happened, and they did not hatch.
She had three eggs, and they didn't hatch. And so one day when she left the nest, the, the caretaker of this, sort of sanctuary for owls decided to, swap out the Unhatched eggs. The unhatched eggs for two, owlets who had fallen from a haystack and and were abandoned and, and rescued. And they put those two owls in the nest for this, for this owl to, raise, and she immediately took to them and and cared for them. It's a beautiful, beautiful story.
It's very cute. So sweet. Those little owlets are something else. They gotta look. Oh, boy.
I mean, if you've seen baby eagles, you've seen some weird looking animals. But baby owls, owlets? Owlet. Weird looking animals. Just strange.
Their mom likes them. No. It's fine. I they'll be okay. But, but, boy, were are are they having a day?
Did you see them? Yeah. I loved it. My favorite part was when the dad owl came back, and the mom was like, get out of here. And he was like, no.
I I wanna see the owls. Let me see them. We got babies. She was like, no. Go get some food.
She, like she kicked them out to go go get food. We got I got responsibilities, and you gotta go get food. Now I want baby owls. You can just watch them online. I'm sure there's baby more baby owls.
You can just Google it. I know. So where that baby owl thing, that's already happened, the one that you showed me? Like, that's not a live It's an older story. Yeah.
No. That's not right now. I don't know if there's a live baby owl cam. I gotta find one. But I bet there is.
There's a lot of eagle cams around the country. There is? But the big bear one is the one you've been watching the most. And there's a we saw a falcon one the other day. Yep.
There's falcons. Uh-huh. I gotta check on those too. There's too many Too many baby animals. It's springtime.
I wanna watch them all. Yeah. Well, go find yourself some baby owls and give them a gander. They need a look or two because, boy, have they got a face. Oh, it's time for the would you rather this or that question of the Friday.
Oh, it's time. Would you rather Woah. Live in a world made of Lego bricks K. Or a world made of Play Doh. Interesting.
Uh-huh. I like the Lego movies. Like, I think being in that world would be pretty fun. I think so too. I'm picking Legos because I think it's gonna be more I don't know.
Play Doh would be fun too, but I just like the Lego. I mean, I feel like a a Play Doh claymation world like Gumby Yeah. Is a little strange. Yeah. But, also, what do you do with Play Doh?
Like, Lego, you build. Like, you build all kinds of stuff. What do you do with Play Doh? Eat it. What?
Have you never eaten Play Doh? Never eaten Play Doh. Why are you eating Play Doh? I don't eat it now, but when I was a kid, I did. Explains a lot.
Play Doh eater. Yeah. So? Gross. Lots of kids do it.
No. Yes, sir. You. You're the only one that's ever eaten Play Doh. That's a lie.
Okay. But when you're playing with Play Doh, what do you do other than eat it? Okay. And then Make a worm. And then k.
End. End of things that you don't make a circle like a ball, and then you'll make a cube. And I've never made a cube. I've made a ball. Yes.
I've made a nest. Starts at a ball, and then you flatten the sides, and you got, like, a little dice. Okay. A nest where you make multiple worms and line them. K?
You just make a nest. Yeah. And then you put little eggs in your nest. Right. Uh-huh.
And then? And that's it. That's all I've ever made with Play Doh. Did you ever squeeze it through something and cut it like hair? Yeah.
I've done that. Yeah. That's it. Yeah. That's all yeah.
So it sounds like I'd have a way more fun time building in Play Doh town. Unless you got one of those name brand Lego sets that the pieces don't really click together. Non name brand. What did I say? Name brand.
Oh, I meant the non name brand. The generic brand. Like block builder something. Yeah. The pieces don't quite stick together.
Right. And they always look a little bit off. Yeah. But what is this? We had a tank like that when when Beck was little, and that tank never stayed together ever.
Frustrating. Yeah. It wasn't quite right. K. Well, I'm taking Legos.
Me too, bud. Alright. Cool. Legoland. High five.
Boop. Are you ready to have a weekend? I'm ready to have a weekend. I gotta work all weekend. I know.
I'm sorry. So I'll be kind of around the studio, but, you don't. Kind of. I told you. I've got some projects at the house.
Mhmm. We last year, the leaves never quite got quite picked up all the way because the I don't know what happened. There was a pile of leaves in the road that we kept there for the leaf collector to come by, and he didn't get them all. We didn't have all the cars out of the road on time because they showed up well ahead of when they were supposed to. That's true.
They did. They send out a text and say, expect to see us on this day, and they showed up, like, two days early. Yeah. They did. Which is not the way that thing should work.
Or if you're gonna show up two days early, come back when you said you were going to be here when I'm prepared for you. So we've got a pie a big chunk of leaves in the gutter that I need to clear out because it's it's gross, and then stuff gets stuck in there and garbage. And and then it clogs the drain, and so whenever We don't even have a drain. Well, Josh, it's just a problem. It's gross, and I'm gonna clean it out.
That's one of my projects. Okay. My other project is to clean out the car because my car is gross from a long winter. And then my other project is to clean out the fridge because that's also gross. I have lots From a long winter.
Yeah. I got lots to do. I got projects. Alright. Good deal.
Get out the way. Oh, I will be out of the way, for sure. But, anyway, that's that's it's now the weekend, and, hopefully, it lasts as long as it can. And then, we'll be back in the studio on Monday morning, bright eyed, bushy tailed, and ready to take on the April. Let's do it.
Yeah. That's it. I don't have anything else. Happy Friday. I've said what I need to say.
You have? Yep. Okay. Okay. See you.
